i g-Th Stat man. Salem. Oregon. Thursday. Sept 23, 1948 W hesitate blabbing this, for fear U will be taken as a swing at Loren Mort & Co., at Salem high. But one of the nastiest athletic in sults we've. run across in a long time came last weekend. While the Vancouver Trappers were spank ing the SHS'ers here, 35-0, they had another team up at Hood Riv er beating the Blue Dragons. On the same night, mind you. Salem high school football, down in the deeper roots, has become a sor rowful mess when such as that can happen. . . . Verdell Ragsdale, who had a size 62 pair of brogans to fill when he took over at Med ford high in place of graduated Bill Bowerman. is so far doing right weU. We had a-lengthy chat : I LEE RAGSDALE -i with, the former Mt. Angel Preps boss (he goes by "Lee" now) last weekend down south and, al though he says he "hardly had time Jo eat or sleep the first six weeks." he's now in full command, a top favorite with both his play ers and the win-crazy Medford fans and figures his fleet-footed Tornado will be a toughie before the3eason is out. "Rags" has all members of that crack Medford track sprinting team on his squad in the backfield. ... Co ft Id Learn From This Speaking of Medford. the high Echdbl has solved a football field problem that could be a shining example for another school we know of. They wanted a new, concrete grandstand with a roof on it at Medford, but didn't have the money to spend on it. So the school solicited 500 townspeople for $60 each (that $30,000) and put Up the snappiest covered con crete stand you'd want to see. For the sixty bucks pitched in by each citizen, he gets a private seat in the stand for each game for five years. The stand seats 3000 (another orr the other side of the field seats 2000 more), so there is room for 2500 paid "admissions each game in it. besides the 500 'special"' fans. Smart deal, eh? . . Simpson Going Again Al Simpson's Southern Oregon Red Raiders are off on" the prowl again with an opening 26-0 win over the new Oregon Vocational school at Klamath Falls. The Raiders aren't in the same potent category, they were the last two seasons, as Charley U Autremont, a terrific backfielder, has gradu ated. But they do have a fleet set of T formation backs in all and should be heard from again this season. D'Autremont ' won himself a job with the San Francisco 49'er pros, Incidentally, but gave it up in favor of coaching at Ashland Jr. Hi, He's the father of three kids, you know, and lives in Ashland. .:. . Don Campbell, the two-year Oregon State halfback dandy is now with Simpson at SOCE, but won't be eligibl until next year because of the transfer rule. So is Marv Doty, another OSC'er. Dasch-to-Ilill Again ' "Doc" Bar rick nasi resigned as coach of the femme Softball Ma plettes and next year the club will be guided by Eddie Salstrom. Ed die works for the Maple estab lishment. . . -. Warming rumors have had Hal Moe on; the skillet at Portland U for some time, and Willamette's upset win over his Pilots last Saturday certainly doesn't do the likeable guy any good. . . . Incidentally, the all time Willamette - Portland grid series now stands at six for the Pilots, five for WU. . . . Not only is Roger Dasch at OCE in Mon mouth on Bill McArthur's Wolves . eleven, bat so Is Bill Hill, the re ceiving end of the once-famed Dasch-to-Hill Salem high com bine. Bet Loren Mort wishes he had 'em now. ... Eugene Interested ' Eugene is definitely interested In obtaining .a professional base ball franchise, and this comes to us from one of the' Cascade league directors, Frank Graham of the Hills Creek club. When asked by Mr. " Graham for our views, we quickly replied that if Eugene does take on a pro outfit the city would be making a mistake if it settled for anything less than a Class B club. The Class D Far West circuit is trying to squeeze in there, but Eugene fans, for years treated to some gosh-awful good semipro baseball in the Cas cade loop, wouldn't go for the Class D stuff we're sure. . . . Those Western International league "fi nal" averages last weekend aren't final at alL They do not include Salem's final game at least, the one in which Dick Sinovic hiked his batting mark to over .355, the one in which Salem clicked off two more , double plays, and one in which Al Spaeter achieved his great mound success. The final officials won't be out until some time in October. Wally Flager is home from his fine finish with the Fresno club in the Cal-State loop, and has nothing but praise for the St. Louis Cardinal system, operator of the Fresnos. They won the pen nant by 5 games, . for which Flager is blamed by no less than Joe Mathes, head of the Cardinal minor league organization, and . Ken Penner, Pacific - Coast chief. Wally wound up hitting a mean .331 . . . j . - ' . - i : ';!.,,. .- 1 .... , .

Sonapp WiDioner Via (Decision Dn S id ir p riser With ADbina Strong Finish CWCE's Big and Rugged Willamette ITs giant-killing Bearcats,- fresh from knocking over the Portland U Pilots last week, have another toughie on their hands Friday night at Sweetland field. The Central Washington college Wildcats, always able to hold their own in the rugged Ever green (formerly Wiako) league, come In Friday as a big and tough outfit Proof of this is found in the fact that Eastern Washington, a CWCE playmate, last Saturday up and popped no less than Mon tana U, 12-7, at Missoula. Consequently, Bearcat Boss Jerry Liilte expects much the worst end of the; score Friday night. Among the numerous notables on the CWCE outfit are 190 pound Halfback Ed Bartlett, formerly of Oregon State and a 2 year letterman; 200-pound Fullback Frank Svoboda, another two year vet: Dominie BorL 190-pound guard who earned a letter at Washington State year before last, and 200-pound Bob Osgood, three-year veteran guard and captain. Lillie knows most of the CWCE players, as he coached there a couple of years ago. The WU boss still has end trouble with hi Cats and has been trying numerous players la the weakest! spots on the team. Halfback Johnny Slaachik Is working at one 'post this week, as is Pete Hoar, a former Salem high back. Dean Nice, out so far with a shoulder wound, may , be back in action at one of the wings this week. He'll help. v ; Nets Victory By Al LUhtner ! Jack (Ginger) Snapp won his ' 10-round main event with Joey Albina at the armory last night, but the Merrill Marauder from the ! Klamath Falls sector probably hopes he never has to tangle with : the guy again. The Ginger boy spent all 10 rounds chasing the ! clever Albina. but never quite j caught up with him to deliver j what most of the $1800 worth, of customers came to see one of the j contract with Cerdan, specifying Also the customers, fast becom ing comatose from such rich pug ilistic fare, will see the nearly incomparable Sugar Ray Robin son, welter king, step 10 non-title rounds against Kid Gavilan, the Cuban flash. "And you may be sure," Strauss said, "that no matter what we draw, we won't lose money." Sol was strongly of the opinion that his rivals dropped a bundle in the Jersey venture, in which Marcel Cerdan, the rugged char acter from French Morocco, took the 160-pound bauble from Tony Zale on a 12th - round knockout. This was, a few moments lat er, smilingly refuted by Andy Niederreiter, promoter for the roomfull of millionaires who com prise the T. of C. "After all the headaches," he said mildly, we cleared about $24,000. And we still have the middleweight champion undei airtight contract to defend his title first for us." Whom Marcel will fight, and when and where, Niederreiter didn't pretend to know. "It all depends on how Zale and ' his managers , feel about it," he ex plained. "They have a separate Vik Club Primes for Friday Tilt with K-Falls Pelicans A determined Salem high football squad, split into three teams, Wednesday pounded through a heavy scrimmage session in preparation for Friday night's tussle against the tough Klamath Falls Pelicans on the Southern Oregon school's grid. s Coach Loren Mort and his lads, Vowing to give the Pelicans a fight, brushed up oh their offense aind defense tactics and after the Workout Mort declared the Viks looked much better on the defense but still somewhat ragged on the attack. j The Vik mentor plans to field the same starting lineup which opened against Vancouver with two. exceptions. They are Phil Thompson, 185-pound soph, who will be in at right guard, and Lee Harra, 200-pound senior who will open at right tackle. The rest of the lineup will include: Doug Ro gers and Jim Rock, ends; Gordon Bacon, left tackle; Fred Sproule, left guard; and Ray Cummings, center. Mort again will stick to the backfield foursome of Buzz Covalt at quarter. Dean Paulus and Bud Michaels at the halves; and Paul Jewell at full. j The: Viks leave for Klamath Falls by bus Friday morning. Beavers Lose; Playoffs Out LOS ANGELES, Sept. 22-JP) The Portland Beavers went down again, 7-2, to the Los Angeles Angels tonight and saw their hopes for a climb to fourth place in the Coast league go a -glimmer ing. Red Lynn stopped Portland with five hits, two of which were home runs by Eddie Basins ki for the only Bevo runs. Tommy Bridges was the losing pitcher and gave up six runs on eight hits.

JEFFS EYE OPENER Jefferson Thirty-two boys have turned out for football prac tice with eight of them lettermen. Coach Pat Beal says they are shap ing; up well for their first game here Friday afternoon, 2:30, against Philomath. Frank and Helen Jones of ithe: Jefferson Ten Cent store arei offering prizes to the player making the first touchdown, the first completed forward pass and the outstanding tackle of the game. rip-snorting knockouts for which the blond southerner is noted. Albina danced, ran, bicycled and jabbed at the cool but always ag gressive Snapp. He kept his dis tance at all times, and. for the kind of fight he made, he did sur prisingly well. Also, when Snapp did drive in, the veteran 159 pounder from Portland tied, him up. The wartime middleweight titlist knew he could make only one mistake and it would be cur tains. He didn't make that mistake. The outcome was in no way one sided. Albina srored often with left jabs and in the sixth round got over a corking right which open ed a bloody gash over Snapp's left eye. It bled the final four heats but instead of slowing up the current state champ, it only in furiated him more. Snapp- came hard in the la.t four rounds, like an angered tiger that had been denied long enough The Ginger boy's best round was the tenth, when he reDeatedlv rushed Albina with a two-fisted attack. But Albina covered up well to avoid any semblance of a kayo There were no knockdowns Veteran boxer Albina wasn't ex pected to score one, and Snapp strictly a kayo artist, just couldn't catch up with his agile foe to register one. AH told, the fight was a dandy for the type of mix it was. Most of Snapp s points were given by Ref eree Packy McFarland for pure aggressiveness. He tried all night to catch the elusive Albina. And Albina must absorb some credit for his ability to escape the young gladiator's punishing fists while at the same time punching out deserving points himself. There was no clowning by the cocky Albina. He was up against too tough a fistic gent for that. Snapp weighed 1594. The prelim action was for the most part good, in all except the four-rounder between Light- weights Chuck Brown of Port land and Cal Robinson of Seattle. Brown won via knockout in the third, but it looked very much as if Robinson, known to be a dandy battler in the past, decided to go swimming- Other prelim results: Don Roberts. 144. Hood River, knock out over Pat Brown, 144. Portland, 2:58 of first round. Joey Edmonds. 123. Fort Lewis and Bob Calloway, 125, Portland, four-round draw, and a wild and wool lv fisht. Jimmy Gooding. 126'i. Port land, decision over Jerry Strutx. 125. Portland, after six rounds. Gooding too strong for Strutz. that he must give Tony a return bout for the title if Tony wants it. .
