Axemen Bring Biggest Foe of Viking Season The Eugene Axemen may not present the most potent' team of the season when they move in Friday night for their 40th annual grid conclave with Salem's Vikings on Sweetland field, but Hank Kuch eras crew will toss at the SHS'ers the biggest outfit they have faced this year. The Axeman forwards, flanked by a pair of six-foot, four inch ends, average 190 pounds. Were it not for a 155-pound guard, Dick Primrose, that average would be considerably higher. That huge ' line has been the Eugene pride all season, and in the game with Albany, a final 21-6 win for the Bulldogs, it held Al bany to little more than 50 yards net gained on the ground. Albany won via the air lanes. , Kuchera's woes this season have been in the backfield, where he has little size and less experience. Three of his backfield starters are sophomores. Lack of reserve strength has hurt the Axemen, al so. Eugene comes in with a record f five won and four lost Friday. They have defeated St. Mary's, Springfield, Central Catholic, Cor vallis and Coos Bay. Losses yere to Cleveland, Bend, Albany and University. Aiming to wind up their sea son with a victory, the Vikings will enter the 40th annual prep Midweek meanderings: Jerry Aiken, 5-foot, 10-inch 155-pound fullback listed as a starter for Eu gene in the biggie with Salem to morrow night is another son of Jim Aiken, Webfoot coach. Jerry is a sophomore at Eugene and big brother Jim, Jr., plays halfback for daddy's Ducks . .... . How times do change: Way back when the St. Louis Cardinals were the famed "Gas House Gang", Lippy Leo Durocher was the shortstop under Mgr. Frankie Frisch. Now Frisch is to be a coach under Mgr.

The sam-bang body contact is much to his liking 'also .... Speaking of the Salem-Eugene game here Friday night, it should be the annual dandy. Neither outfit has coaxed more than a casual glance this season, but any time they get together there Is usually enough rock-'em sock-'em football played to satisfy even the more skeptical fans. The Viks could write a pleasing finis to their season were they to upend, the Axemen, too .... Also on Webfoot Skipper Aiken, Deryl Meyers would like it mentioned that theAiken string of consecu tive conference wins at Oregon now stand at 10, over two sea sons. They are, in order: Wash ington, Idaho, WSC, Stanford, Idaho, USC, WSC and Washing ton. And until it stands corrected, that certainly is a record for the U of O, as Meyers insists. We doubt if it is a Coast conference high, as we recall some gosh awful consecutive winners ; at Southern California in the days- of the late Howard Jones' "Thun dering Herds". The longest, in cluding all games played, was 27 straight. This was stopped final ly by the Oregon State "Iron Men" In Multnomah stadium, 1933, when Thuxaday. Normber 11, 1943 Double Dose for Preps r ?tr . mv , Most Mt Anrel Preps football opponents believe they're seelnc doable when the Penner boys line up for Coach Gene Barrett's Willamette Valley league champs. But Dean (left) and Doug (right) are twins and have been 'playing lots of football for the Preps. They face Gresham today at Gresham in a district title clash. classic, oldest in the state, with a shoot-the-works attitude. Hanging a loss on the' Axemen in the fi nale would draw ' considerable sunshine to a Salem record that has been decidedly poor. Also, it would help gain ground on the 22-15 win bulge the Eugenes hold over Salem in the long series. Sa lem hasn't defeated a Eugene foot ball team since 1941. Reich Departure Hurts Portlands PORTLAND, Ore , Nov. 10-JP-The drafting of Herman Reich by the Cleveland Indians of the Am erican league dumped the Portland Beavers into gloom today.

Lon Stiner In his first year at OSC tied the Trojans 0-0 . , . . Incidents portrayed 4 in "The Babe Ruth Story'' are overdone, Hollywood style, as you've per haps heard. Which probably is okeh by the average moviegoer who never knew the true facts on the Bambino's life! anyway. But danged if we could stomach, the baseball regalia hung on what were supposed to be major league players in the picture. Their Caps, for instance, looked more like refugees from a drug store fire sale. And the uniforms, as worn by the players, couldn't have been far away from the caps when the fire began. It was the same when Gary Cooper played Lou Gehrig in "Pride of the Yankees". And it will probably be just the same again when somebody else plays Joe DiMaggio in "The .
