Oregon's Norm Van Brocklin will get at least one vote, ours. He may get more. If he gets enough to win football's greatest individual award, he will join such remem bered gents as Jay Berwanger, Larry Kelly, Nile Kinnick, Tom Harmon, Bruce Smith, Frank Sinkwich, Doc. Blanchard, Glenn Davis and Johnny Lujack, who ful manager unless Bill Mulligan and George Emigh get him some ballplayers to work with. If they fail. Beard will be just another bloke to his present back-slap-pers come Labor day. They'll let him know it along the way too. Salem isn't without its grand stand wolves, the gents who make with the audible razz berries when the Senators don't win regularly. And if they don't win.

The award goes to the "outstanding college football player in the United States." We voted for Van Brock lin not only because he has no peer as a passer but because he alone has literally thrown the Webfoots from obscurity to na tional prominence. Any football player who can do that for any team is great enough to be con fide for such an award. . . . The name Bill Beard has click ad well with the Senator follow ers, and Blond Bill will start his career at a manager without an enemy.

The second Pacific coast con ference victory of the season for Washington was seen by only 20,000 fans. They got an unex pected surprise when four passers did a needle-threading job with a wet ball and the receivers were ready and plentiful. Idaho, defi nitely outgunned, uncorked an overhead game of its own in the third stanza and winged 72 yards to a touchdown, but it was only a futile gesture by that time.

The, four prime elevens spent the season playing teams all around the state and wound up matched against schools right next door. One set has even played to gether before. True to early sea son prophecy, not a single team east of the Cascades got into the running. All of which, if it weren't for two semi - finalists' gift of un predictability, ought to shape up the championship game quite simply: Jefferson of Portland vs. Medford's Black Tornado. Jefferson is favored over the nearby Gresham Gophers in the Thanksgiving day semi - final at Portland's Multnomah stadium. But Jefferson was favored last year, too. And got walloped in the quarter - finals. The other semi - final, between Grants Pass and Medford, sounds still simpler. The bitter southern Oregon rivals played during the regular season with Medford win ning, 7-6. Grants Pass climaxed its record by upsetting Albany, Oregon's only unbeaten, untied squad, in the quarter - finals Fri day night. The 'state high school activities association board of control will select the date and site of the Medford - Grants Pass game and the two class "B" semi - finals on Monday.

University of Oregon's Webfoots ambled out of this mud bowl today with a convincing 10 to 0 victory over Oregon State, and hoped to a man their next stop will be Pasadena come January L It could well be that, too.

Then with the third per iod hardly under way, Daniels was fired into action again by Coach Jim Aiken and the reserve guard responded by kicking field goal from the 17 Va yard line. This was to be all the scoring, but on two other occasions the Webfoots, using wide sweeps around the State ends and quick hitters off the guards and tackles mostly, got within the Beaver 20. On the other aide, Lon SUner's men, finding the inspired Oregon line a determined obstacle from end to end, got within the Duck 20 only once all day. and this In the first aeries of plays the Beavers ran. The "new Bell field turned out to be a $14,000 dud for the 52nd renewal of this classic. The goo was lnttee deep In most places and the players, upon being block ed or tackled, often slid as much as five yards. Midway into the first period it was hard to tell Just who was who on cither aide. Nu merous fumbles marred the game, naturally, and neither aids was able to uncork its vaunted passing attack. Which could be taken as anoth er measure of Oregon superiority, for the Webfoots won decisively without the aerial wizard of Norm (The Arm) Van Brocklin. Sportsmen Do You Hunt or Fish?
