Vikings Snap Lbss
Skein in 20-8 Win
Injured Regulars Return, Spark ;
Comeback Drive Against Pioneers
Playing like rock-'em sock-em Vikings of old and welcoming
back with open arms three of the injured regulars, out for the past
two weeks or more, Salem high's touchdowners rambled to a 20-8
victory over Oregon City on Sweetland Field last night And the
Viks, guilty of panty waist touch
downing off and on the previous
three outings, were actually a 20
8 better ball dub than were the
Pioneer as they snapped a losing
skein at three straight and notched
their second No-Name league ver
dict' against as many losses, " "'
t Coach Tommy Drynan's gang
had to do it the hard way, too, by
coming from behind. For Dan
'Jones' Pioneers started out as if
they were to plaster the Villa
men at least 40-0. Impressing no
body with their' first series of
plays, the Viks lost the ball on
downs on the OC 34, and bingo
went the "T"-toting Pioneers. Cap-

partner Bob Misley, along with a
1 well - aimed quarterback sneak
by Jerry Peckover, had the oval on
the Salem 10 before the Viks knew
what hit 'em, and on the next
play Misley grabbed a wide later
al from Peckover on a "T" play
to ramble over, for the opening
score. The conversion try hit the
left upright to wind up "ng."
Salem wobbled again as two
passes from center, sailed unmo
lested through the Vik backfield
as signals-were mixed, the second
one, from the : Salent 4-stripe at
the outset of the second , quarter,
bounded completely beyond the
end line for an automatic safety.
) But with this 8-0 count against
-. them and an apparently bad. eve
ning ahead, the 'Viks suddenly
fired up with doubtlessly the hot
test hustle-bustle they've had, all
season! In - came . Center Tom
vBoardman, 'out the past two weeks,
' and the Vik ground attack,, which
had ' carried , about as much kick
'as a glass of water, began hitting
on all 11 cylinders.

Randolph Eleven Talent-Drunk Also 1
: While on the subject of star-studded football lineups, the Ran
dolph. Field Fliers, rated by. a few ham and egg "experts" as the
top team in the nation, needn't! occupy the second seat to any elev
en. Here's just a few names you needn't furrow your brow to recall,
al of ,'em backfielders for the Randolphs: Bill Dudley of Virginia,
Dippy. Evans of Notre Dame, Bob Cif era of Tennessee, Vike Fran
cis of Nebraska, Pete Layden of Texas, John Goodyear of Washing
ton Redskins and Joe McCoy of Alabama. And,' although he isn't
good enough to be first string, but is owner of an 82-yard touchdown
romp against Southern Methodist last week, Oregon's. Jake Leicht
the feather-footed prepster from Stockton, CaL, is also a Randolph
ball-toter. Quite a" backfield,-wot?. - t v ' - -
Such a thing as being too good even in football, however. The
seven coaches in the Southwest conference - who have a say-so on
who plays who in the Cotton Bowl (Dallas, Tex.) January 1st have
already insisted the Fliers be kept out of it next New Year's Day.
"They're out'of this world," is the reason. ' - - ; t
- Are the Huskies as good as their point-a-minute play against
Whitman and Willamette indicates? Here's a slight hint they may
not be: Fred Osterhaut, moved into a first-string . guard slot by
"Pest" Welch this week was good enough , when at Willamette . in
1942 to lay only spasmodically as a reserve for Spec Keene's
championship eleven. Of course he may have improved since then,
but at' least It's a case for conjecture. Teddy . Ogdahl "Wasn't so hot
his first year at WU either, but there wasn't a college coach who
wouldn't have fondled him " dearly even .with his bad knee in '42.
So improved Osterhaut or no, only, way to. find out how good the
Huskies are is to wait 'till Monday night Southern -Cal's Trojans
will check 'em the hard way. .......... ,
Indians Swamp
Molalla, 26-0
MOLALLA -(Special)l Coming
to life with roar the second half,
the Chemawa Indians, who have
managed -to outplay every foe this
season, stormed over an ineffective
Molalla Buckaroo eleven here Fri
day, 28-0, in a Duration league
football game. Although the In
dians rammed to within Molalla'a
10-yard line four times the first
half, it wasn't until the third Quar
ter .that Fullback Cal Simmons
capped long drive with a tackle
smash to touchdown, i
Soon after this Quarterback
Merle Williams galloped 47 yards
for another on a quick-opener and
then followed with a 45-yard pass
to Halfback Pecard to set up the
third. Williams also bucked this
one across. A series of pasties
from Williams to Logan, Ashman
and Pecard set up the fourth coun
ter and again the' triple-threat
Chemawa quarter smashed it over.
Molalla penetrated only as far as
