his Homecoming work cut out for

game at Ashland last week, but
we thought we saw a distinct
twinkle in his eyes when after the
game he promised SOCK Athletic
Director Ted Schopf, "We can't
beat you." True, the Southern
Raiders, under Al Simpson, will
spring a mighty good "T quarter
back on the Wolves Friday- night.
He's Chuck Jandreau, and he can
pass expertly as well as direct the
SOCE offense. But then McAr

Right now the Hiljsboro Spar

nerups, rank right along with
the best prep footballers in Ore
gon. They are not only undefeat

scored upon this season In five

they'll kayo the Spartans Friday
and therein toss a bomb into the

' Statesman Sports Editor
Kins Henry Lee .sent a wicked
left hand smash into Bobby Volk's
right eye in. the first round of
their main event at the armory
last night, and the blow, one that
may long be remembered by the
Portlander, brought the Seattle
negro a knockout win in 50 sec
onds.
The two had scarcely begun
what was expected to be a slug
ging match when the! muscular
darkle let fly with the wallop
from about waist level. It landed
flush on Volk's eye. He staggered
momentarily and then went down.
So solidly did King Henry hit
Bobby that he was partly paral
yzed and totally blinded all dur
ing Referee Packy McFarland's
count. Volk tried three times to
get to his feet, but instead fell to
his side on the canvas much like
a steer that had been introduced
to the slaughterhouse pledge. Once
during the toll he was heard to
say. "I can't see"
Volk was helped to his corner
after the 20-year-old Seattle lad's
hand was raised, and a doctor's
survey ot the damage to the al
ready badly bloodshot eye was,
"It could be serious. Volk was
still having trouble with his vis
ion in the dressing room later, al
though he could see.
The kayo amounted to one of
the fastest ever scored in the
armory ring, and it s came as a
surprise. Volk was liked by many
as the favorite, and he too, had
scored many a ;' knockout in the
past, in the first round with a
mighty left hand of his own. He
weighed 160. Lee 160'i.
Other than for the i six-round
special between i Portlanders Jim
my Gooding. 127, and Jerry Strutz,
126. won by the strong little
Gooding with a late surge, the
prelims were all Salem. Local
gladiators gained the wins in all
three. The GoodingrStrutz bout
was their fifth and "rubber" scrap.
It was close until Gooding got to
work solidly in the final two
rounds. He had Strutz down for
a nine count in the sixth.
Rod McDowell, 142, won a
close decision over Don Roberts,
140, Hood River, and although
what there was of a crowd booed
the tally. It was easily the best
fight of the night Both went at It
throughout. Johnny Hoffert's de
but was a dandy even though he
nearly ran out of gas near the
end. He kept a: lefts jab in Bob
Calloway's face all the way and
won the decision. Hoffert weighed
130. Calloway 129. Dick CoUey of
the Oregon School for the Deaf
proved once again h Can punch by
landing a stout left on Jerry Mc
Cann's nose late in the first round,
breaking the member. McCann
didn't answer for the second. He
weighed 155, Colley 158.
The customers didn't have much
of a chance to size up either Volk
or Lee, their bout was that short.
Many didn't even see) the telling
blow, as it didn't travel more than
two feet It caught Volk In a half
crouched position, and at first it
didnt look as if Lee had too much
on It When it landed, however,
there was no question but what It
was wen authored.

The "foot" will return to foot
ball but definitely Saturday af
ternoon when the Willamette
Bearcats play the College of
Puget Sound Loggers in the big
Homecoming game on Sweetland
field. Both the Cats and Loggers
have in Johnny Slanchik and
Warren Wood two of the best
punters on the Pacific coast
hands down, and both are ready
to take up from where they left
off in the CPS-WU game at Ta
coma a year ago.
Wood, a guard at 215 pounds,
averaged 47 yards per boot in
that game and has been over
the soaring 40 mark this season.
Slanchik went 45.8 in the 47 game
and has been steadily improving
all this campaign.
In forecasting a top-grade kick
ing duel between the two, WCJ
Mentor Jerry Lillie also added
that Bearcat Quarterback Bob
Douglas, out of the past two
games with an injury, will be
back in harness Saturday to help
with the T-formation chores so
ably handled by Johnny Burleigh
recently. Douglas' aerials could

Saturday's clash and the Webfoots

they are to continue in the running
