U ' , ' ; j . v , - si ni i n n n i Salem's Handicap Golf Tournament I nni r"" f Tootballing around Superman and the speed of llghl has noth ing on Oregon's Leicht," Everything is Jake at Oregon and Idaho has seen the Leicht" - - punnish leads for stories on the Oregon-Idaho game for sure.. But after watching Mr. Jake Leicht (pronounced all ' same "light") during an afternoon grid chore, one is moved to" giving with the extra-special stuff. Mr. Leicht is T'-riffic, and that's no pun. "T; is right. Tex Oliver's "T" wist Is nothing more than the "T" formation galloped off a single -wing spread and is Identical with the offensive employed by Coach -Tommy Drynan's Vikings. How - Mr. Leicht makes it go from his quarterback or left half (he takes turns at either spot) post is some thing to see. Of course he had a weak sister to 1 ramble against la Idaho, but it wi?l take a star-studded defense in I any sense to stop him. Just watch' him once to be convinced. .Leicht's ability to s c oot 100 vrHo In OX uwmria In track mit is readily explained Just any time I ELLIOTT WILSON ht takes off around an end. His change of pace Is beautiful and un predictable. He could be the guy who instigated the quip: "Stop and torn on a dime and leave t nickel change." We watched Leicht panic the opposition and customers years ago (he's 25) when be half-backed for our alma mater,' Stockton (Cal.) high, and at the time his coach, the late Fred Solomon, quarterback during Top' Warner's days at Stanford, predicted Jackie would one day be an all-American. He's listed as a freshman at Oregon, so has four years to make Solomon's prediction come true. Already Leicht impresses as a member of that rare species who have their Jersey num bers enshrined under glass after graduation, never to be worn vy mor tals again. His is No. 44, and the Oregon foe Is due to see much of it, from .the rear. '.. ,'; - 7 Overboard on the guy? You said it, brother. Just go take a look for yourself. Hell have you on your feet half the afternoon. He can do everything, and does it. Jake is the type who will pack 'em in the seats of a Saturday all by himself, and will wow 'em when he gets 'tm there. This is a warning. He's another "Cotton" Warbur tpn - - 20 pounds 'heavier and much faster. Next Saturday, Bad Day for the Bearers, Oregon State faithful prepare yourselves. Tis a sorry day for the Beaver next Saturday. If Oregon doesn't win the 48th meeting with br'er Beaver in a walk, well walk back from CorvalliS. We saw Lon Stiner's men against Camp Beale and Oliver's Leicht brigade against Idaho. Stiner had best go fishing next Saturday. ' How come no Elliott Wilson In the Oregon lineup Saturday? We hsven't seen anything official on It yet, but heard in the Hayward Field press box that 6-foot 3-inch Elliott was declared ineligible for the rest of the season. Seems he registered at the U of Nebraska this Semester and then decided to forget it and return to Oregon. Bad move. If true, but Oliver & Co. really doesn't need him. Medford 52, Eugene 7. That's what "Hank" Kuchera gets for be ing so careless with an open date in his Axeman schedule. And need less to say, Al Simpson's prep "T"-riffics made a great many villagers happy in thrashing the Eugenes thusly. Telephone callers Friday night Informed of the rout, retaliated with everything from: "Ha, ha!," "Whoopie!".to "Good! I've been waitin yean to see a Eugene team mangled like that" . . . Seems the villagers don't have much love for their Eugene cousins. . . f Vikingt Could Be Tough From Here In Same villagers who watched the Vikings come through with a surprise win over Albany Friday are still heralding the improvements shown by T. Drynan's kids. They looked like a ball club with a def inite purpose against the Bulldogs, and not like the lackadaisicals who had previously impressed as being content to leave football rock em sock-'em stuff alone. The line charged and hit low and hard 1)th offensively and defensively. Everyone hustled. . brynan brought he club a long way during that one week of practice, and with a few more accessories added, SHS will be tough from here on out. , Of particular note was the Vik blocking Friday, f Albany's ends were mowed down regularly and ball toters got into the secondary after sweeping around the fallen wingmen. Had the quarterbacking been a bit more elastic and not so flooded with passes, the Drynans would have scored an even more Impressive win we're sure. Even so; the team played like it had suddenly fallen In love with th game, and that could man some Interesting evenings for Bend, Milwaukie, i;orvauis, Astoria, prmgpeia - - ana even &ugene.

Skaters Start Drills SEATTLE, Oct -()- The Seattle Ironmen, national una teur champions, opened training today for the winter hockey sea Son with 16 players reporting to Manager Frank; Dotten. -1 Greenberg, Who only five in nings before had powered a home- run with none on to tie the score at .7-7, was planted directly in front of the ball and would easily have held Schuster at third if he had made the stop. Two were out at the time, and a benumbed crowd of 41,708 had fully expected the two teams to battle on into , the darkness when the blow-off came. For five innings Dizzy Trout Detroit's fifth pitcher, had been turning back the Cubs' every threat while Hank Borowy ha? stifled the Tigers from the ninti frame on. Greenberg's error came as a disappointing climax to a thrilling struggle, which had seen the Tigers stage another of their famous four-run rallies in the eighth inning to send it into ex tra 'innings. . There was . some argument whether Greenberg should have been charged with an error on the final play, but the official scorers did not . hesitate to slap the onus on the big left fielder.. He did not get his hands on the pellet but it was ruled that that was his fault that he was out there to head off ground balls. It was one of those plays which will be debated in the baseball world for some time. ' Regardless of whose fault H was, the sight of Schuster scamp ering home meant 'that the Na tional league Champions had fought off the "sudden death" that had (threatened them and that the seventh and deciding game would be played down to the bitter finish on Wednesday. The teams will rest tomorrow while Wrigley field, doubtless, is being sold out againl Today's loss, after one of ths weirdest, wildest games In series history, brought shudders to De troit fans, who twice before, in 1934 and 1940, had seen their league champions take a 3-2 lead in games and then go down to de feat before the St Louis Card inals and the Cincinnati Reds, respectively. It was the longest game 1 in series history, consuming three hours and 23 minutes against the previous record of 2:54. It was full of loose play, the Cubs com mitting three errors and the Tig ers two, and there was put on exhibition some of the dizziest base-running -anyone ever saw. At least twice Detroit threw away the title with strange and peculiar performances on the paths in the late Innings. Chuck (Continued on page 9) Tiges Favored In Final Tilt CHICAGO.
