In Armory Bin Tonight
The George Dusette-Buck Wea
ver and Joe Dorse ttiAl Williams
appling tandems they slam-
banged their way through another
of Matchmaker Elton Owen's more
lustrous productions last week
collide again tonight at the armory.
This time the meanie-cleanie com
bines not only cap Owen's weekly
party but will do it with a plain
team match and not a tag team af
fair. Which means that all four
gladiators will not be in the ring
at the same time going at it, rather
than one member of a team at a
time as in the tag species. And
this, exclaims M. Owen, will make
for even more thunder than Is
possible in the latter type of team
struggle.

Oregon's Norm Van Brocklin goes down as one of the most profi
cient passers on the Coast for 1947 with his 939 yards la IIS attempts,
for a .452 completion average. But let it not be overlooked that the
key man in the Duck maneuver
lngs for the campaign also was
the conference's No. 1 punter. At
4f.l per boot. Van Brocklin was
the only Coaster to top the 40
yard average mark and beat out
L'SC's Verl. Lilly white who com

dorf was really thinking when he moaned at the start of the season
that his Bears "had the linemen, but not a good back in sight" Phoo
ey! . . . To basketball: Long Island U Coach Clair Bee has yielded
his annual "top twenty" college cage quints and picks the Kentucky
Wildcats as the nation's best with Notre Dame second. Washington
is liked for seventh place and Oregon for ninth. Nope, not a sign of
OSC in the entire 20, to which Slats Gill will readily concur. This
looks to be anything but an Oregon State basketball year , . . Every
one along northern division row doesn't hesitate to point out Wash
ington's Huskies, under new boss Art McLarney as the team to beat
and rate John Warren's Webfoots as the No. 2 finisher ... To base
ball, and a prediction: That if the new option rule isn't tabled daring
the Miami baseball pow-wow this week you'll see a much lower grade
of Class B baseball in the Waters yard come summer. Players must
perform sans financial help from a parent club, according to the new
law. So $400 and $500 a month ballgamers in a Class B league will
be Indeed rare birds from now on. Should the WIL step up a notch
from the Class B to Class A category, however, the situation will be
remedied. The Class A team salary limit per month is 14750, or $1150
more than allowed in Class B . . .
Football Ends Should Like Bouerman Plan
The Oregon Coaches association, that group including the state's
prep football mentors will convene next weekend in Portland. Daring
the conclave they will father methods by which the prep sports ma
chinery might run more smoothly and will forward recommendations
to the governing High School Activities Board of Control. One item
which will be brought before the coaches by Bill Bowerman, ener
getic Medford athletie boss, will be extremely important Particularly
to those lads who now play end positions on prep football teams and
who have had knees encased In braces and casts as a result of being
mowed down by enemy blockers.
Not that ends should be immune to being blocked. But there la
one method which has become downright dangerous, not only to a
kid's prep athletic career, but to his entire normal life as well. It Is
the one in which a flanker, playing wide, comes booming back toward
the line as the ball is put In play and, with all his added momentum
smashes into the knee section of the opposing end who Is charging
across the line of scrimmage. Sometimes the flanker-blocker hits the
end from the rear and is collared for clipping. But from the rear or
aide, the end takes a frightful physical pasting at the knee, which
should be disallowed.
Players Subjected to Lifetime Injury
We have seen many blocks of this typo in the past few years on
prep gridirons, and right along with them have seen kids packed oft
the field with oft-times badly twisted knees. Some of those lads will
have the wounded knees for life, which isn't a part of football. And
still, after mentally sizing up the play . situation, how Is an end to
avoid these vicious blocks and still carry out his assignment as a de
fensive player?
Bowerman's suggestion to the coaches would be this: Make it un
lawful for a player in flanker position to block an end, unless the
flanker is in a stationary position not more than three yards wide of
the end at the snap of the balL
Which we believe is a -timely suggestion. There are altogether too
many high school football ends being crippled up at the knees the
greatest majority of serious Injuries these days are befalling ends
and these vicious blocks by high-geared flankers are causing It la
most eases.

University of Oregon overwhelm
ed the independent Fee's Roller-

tonight in an exhibition basketball
game that was another pre-con-ference

The Ducks came up with their
third victory easily here tonight
as Jim Bartelt and big Roger Wi

Stan Williamson added 13 to the
total as the three led the scoring

The Fees never had a chance as

NEW YORK, Dec. l.-W-The

separates the National Football

Alexis Thompson, wealthy young

said he favored a common draft of
college talent
Bert Bell, commissioner of the
National league of which the Ea

Mara, president of the New York

Salkeld Sets Fistic
Show on December 10
Denied his chances to elaborate
on his knockout record last week
when the main event mix with
Monty Montgomery was canceled
by the local boxing commission,
Salem's fast-flailing featherweight
Hal Fries was yesterday handed
the 10-round main event spot on
Matchmaker Tex Salkeld's next
armory fistic show, December 10.
And this time there will be no
danger of commission action, for
Salkeld has signed a veteran of
many fights In Portland as Fries'
opponent. He is Babe Fenton of
Roseburg, who has had some im
portant featherweight excursions
in the Portland ring and who is
expected to give the 22-year-old
Fries his toughest assignment in
his 10 professional fights.
"Fenton has long be a reputable
puncher and mixer," reports Sal
keld. "After that mess of last week
I want to give the good Salem
fans, who we art protecting as
much as we can, a first class main
event on the next show. I'm posi
tive Fries against Fenton will fill
the bill."
; No prelims have yet been signed,
but Salkeld furthers that Dick
Abney, Dean Abney and Keller
Wagner, all local lights, will find
berths on the billing. There will
be 28 rounds carded In all and
tickets will go on sale at Maple's
next Monday morning.

BOMBEK JOE LOUIS and the challenger for his heavyweight boxing
crown. Joe tlcet were friendly enough (above) while signing
contracts for their Dec, th bout, but; it'll be an business between
the two when they step into the ring at Madison Square Garden
Friday. Louis, defending his honors for the 24th time, is an 8-1 fa
vorite: to whip the 33-year-old Waleott. (AP Wlrephote to The
Statesman.) i
Joe Respects Walcott
POMPTON LAKES, K. J, Dec 1 kfl- Although It la not ob
vious to the naked ere. Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis concedes
that he la easier to bit than he was It years ago doesn't seem to
bo able to slip a punch quite the way he did In bis youth.
"I think I hit as hard as when ll won the title It years ago
from Jim Braddeek." be said today, fbut I think I have slowed
down la blocking punches. I get hit now with punches I used to be
able to get away from.
Joe brought up the point In discussing the bitting prowess of
Jersey Joe Walcott, the slightly shopworn negro challenger whom
ha meets la the 24th defense of his title Friday night at the Gar
den. What Louis had to say of his opponent was about the nicest
ho has uttered to date about the father of six children.
"I regard Jersey Joe as a dangerous puncher," he said without
a trace of a smile. "You got to have respect in that ring for any
man who can punch. I don't think hej'a as good a boxer as Billy
Conn and Tommy Farr were, but they couldn't hit the way he does,
either. 1
Tou got to be en the lookout with him. I've seen him fight a
couple of times and ho sneaks those punches In pretty good."
Jersey Joe's hitting prowess had uot previously been suspect
ed. Certainly the betting fraternity which has made Walcott an t-to-t
underdog Is unaware of the dynamite in the challenger's fists.

Refuge Plan
Is Proposed
WASHINGTON, Dec .-JP)-The
National Wildlife Federation
proposed today that the $13,000,
000 Pittman-Robertfon federal
wildlife restoration fund be spent
in a five-year waterfowl refuge
program --before congress can
use it some other way.
The measure would order the
$13,000,000 fund, accumulated
from the excise tax imposed by
the Pittman-Robertson act upon
sales of sporting firearms and am
munition, expended at the rata of
20 per cent a year, for five years,
for the purchase and operation of
resting and feeding areas along
the migratory waterfowl flyways.

the Washington Senators headed
lor the Yankee stadium in a ma
jor swap still in the tentative
stage.
Manager Bucky Harris of the)
world champions would admit
nothing beyond a statement that a
deal lor a pitcher quite likely
would be made. If such a transac
tion is completed the Yanks plan
to hold up the announcement for
the major league meetings next
week st New York.
Last March the Yanks were hot
for a deal with Washington for
First Baseman Mickey Vernon. Al
though they reportedly offered
Catcher Aaron Robmson, Out
fielder Johnny Lindell and others
at the time. Owner Clark Griffith
of the Sens turned them down
cold.
Griffith said in Washington to
night:
"The Yankees haven't made me)
any bids.
But he added that he would deal
with them if he can get what ho
wants.
Griffith said he wants young
players, outfielders and infielders.
I want to start pvet, again. 1
don't want to trade players like
Masterson, Wynn. Mickey Vernon
or Stan S pence, if I can avoid do
ing so. I want to keep them to
'build around with youngsters.'
Big league trade talk oversha
dowed minor developments of the)
National association which opens
its regular business sessions Wed
nesday morning. I
President George Trautman of
the association met with directors
of all farm club organizations ahd
the International league re-elected
President Frank Shaughnessy.
Although no members of the ex
ecutive committee would confirm
it, there was a strong report that
the Pacific Coast league's resolu
tion asking for status as a major
league would not be considered by
the minors, pending acceptance o
rejection by the majors.
Leo Miller of Syracuse, chair
man of a recodification committee)
which has drawn up a new nation
al association agreement said the)
coast league matter was settled aa
far as the minors are concerned.
He refused to amplify his state
merit.
