i.
j - Sunday shorties: In answer to exactly 14 inquiries (didn't know
we had that many readers) no, we didn't walk .back from Corvallis
after the Oregon-Oregon State game. Seems we did get foolish
enough to print (we'll learn one
"day - - maybe) we d walk back
the 15 miles if Lelcht St Co. didn't
Wet the Stiners ,but just as we
.warmed up for the start it dawned
"something had to) that no one
'was available to drive the car
rinm fJnvr mi wouldn't have
'wanted us to leave our bucket
bolts in Corvallis, would you?
No, we didn't think as much - - so
dn't walk. For those who insist
we should have, let this suffice:
We walked' what s e e m e d 135
jtniles .Wednesday while trying to
.make liars of those who ' insist
there are no pheasants In the val
ley these days. Won't that do?
And next time we open our big
mouth, put your foot in it Ours
fits too well . . . Speaking of
Leicht (and what football Freddie,
; isn't these davs?)l it's the eonren-
sua of opinion down south that VERN WISCARSON
ake went to Oregon not to play football but to run for Col. Bill Hay
yard, one of the greatest track coaches in the land. Mebbe Jake fig
ures Col. Bill can show him how to clip :09.6 (Leight had galloped it)
down to :09.0 . . . Long and short of things at Salem golf course:
'Duke Trotter and Rusty Coleman in a match. Duke could put him in
.his pocket and still have room left for a handkerchief . . . Good
news for Woodburn grid foes: Al "Superman" Zuber, still the best
back In the circuit, has passed his pre-induction physical exam and
figures it won't be long now - - not any longer than three weeks, any
way . Mt Angel's Joe "Red" Bielemeier went up for his physical

still, the organizational powers behind the band , have taken it upon
themselves to invite outside bands to accompany their teams to the

aimed helpfully and not harmfully, would it be possible to complete
the gaia and welcome halftime sparklers within the allotted IS min

halftime stop. Squads were ready and waiting (too long) in both
the Albany and Bend games. Such waiting dulls a certain edge for
