Grid Tilt Bond By Harold CUsien NEW YOKK, Dee. lS.-ffy-Ftr i man who has had a leg broken twice, Ray Evans Is do lor all rlfht for himself, and the Second Air Force Bombers who ' play the I Randolph Field Fliers ' : Saturday in a football fame that - already has drawn $79,750,000 In . war bond purchases. The Fliers . arrived today bat - the Super-r- bombers, coming; by rail, were delayed. I . . ' , r Back to th' wars dep't: Both Santa Clara and St.Marys college are' operating intercollegiate basketball teams again this "year after durationing1n J943 a good sign. Full 'scale, too, since pre-war Coach George Barsi is to boss the Broncs and Jimmy Phelan, the Washington Husky grid 'ex" who's done well with the all-civilian Gael football ers, will herd th Saints. Sort of stepping out of character for Phelan, but they like him around the bay district as well as they used to fondle him around the Puget .Sound area, we see by the papers. . .'.'And did you see where Dr. Fred Bohler, Coast conference big gie as representative of Washing ton State,; predicts the Northern divisioners will be playing foot ball next fall? He maintains all entries will be equal in that by then Washington will have lost all her patent V-12 trainee grid stock . Bohler's prediction pre sents a pleasant thought so muchj so in fact that we're told Lon Stiner maneuvered a complete handspring when he heard of it at OSC . . . Re footballing, AP West ern Sports Ed. Russ Newlahd says Southern Cal will thump Tennes see . come January 1 at Pasadena because (1) this year's USC htrde is better r than the 1940 outfit which whipped a corking good . i i Volunteer 14-0 in the bowl and . : . (2) Coach Jeff Cravath has constructed a "T" play so slick it even fools the Trojans not directly involved in it Sounds bad for Tennes see . . . About the only way to beat a Trojan team in the Rose Bowl, history proves, is to bring along your own officials and a .50 caliber Browning . . . Encouraging news for such as post-war planning grid coaches comes by way of this excerpt from a letter from TV 5 Frank Barquist, Salem, now with the 70th this outfit turn to playing football every time they can get. their hands on a football. Some fine future prospects coming up. By all means keep interest stirred up at home so be first and foremost"! Gordon Advises Beavers to Wake Up Says Dick Strite in this Eugene Register-Guard:' "The Portland Beavers of the Pacific Coast baseball league are becoming Oregon conscious, according to Joe Gordon of the New York Yankees."- (Rich ard might have added: It's about time.) "GI Joe, befor returning to his duties at Hamilton Field,' visited with the Portland baseball offi cials and sold them on the idea of signing home-grown talent." The piece goes on to tell that Gordon believes the Beavers would n't hurt themselves by taking on such as Bill Moye, the well-established Cascade league shortpatcher from Albany and Chet Simpson, the Lebanon right-hander who did a pro whirl as a 17yearold for the town-Senators and beat the San Francisco Seals, 4-2,! in his initial Waters 'park starting try., . . . . j s . Incidentally, there's talk of enlarging next year's Cascade league to include such cities as Silverton', Albany and Corvallis ; ...; ' ' Also noted in the Efleene dailv: "Eueene hieh's erpatest football vteam since the 1936 mythical state the Axemen next Friday night at a banquet at the Eugene hotel." . . . So don't feel too badly now, Vikings. Even Eugenians claim it was one of their top clubs of all time,. . Stepping right' along-lhat's Salem's chapter in the Izaak Walton league of America, and only in its first year as a member, too.' We see in the November-December issue of Outdoor America, official pub lication of the IWLA, a picture of outgoing-president Lloyd Reinholdt of Salem's chapter. r- Unwritten law usually holds that-no first-yea men ever get their pictures in national publications. But then Rein holdt has been ultra-active for years as first an officer of the now ex tinct Salem Hunters and Anglers club and as a director in the state division of the IWLA, so he certainly qualifies. Incidentally, Rein holdt gives up the local chapter presidency voluntarily after six months' service in the chair, citing the fact that private business will not permit him to carry on with duties necessary in the betterment of the-organization. . ' r Looks like a big.year for Gail Bishop and his Fort Lewis Warriors basketeers that is, if their opener the other night is an 1 indication. The Warriors beat a Seattle Transport semipro club, 79 to 3 (three), and the former Washington State All-American pitched in 39 mark ers himself!
