Toward Inaugural With time running last toward their opener at Moscow with Idaho September 17, Willamette university's 50-man football tquad will return to practice this morn ing at 9 a-BL, thus ipening the second week of drills. Only one-a-day sessions are planned by Coach Chester Stackhouse this week, as the gridders will be employed afternooiis and nights at the State Fair. ' The morning sessions are ex pected to be on the heavy side, however, as the business-like Stackhouse Intends having all hands In tip-top shape for the expectedly rugged opener with the Vandals. . Stackhouse has ' offered no semblance of t "fir it" team thus far, and probably won't until sometime next week, after he has had a long look at his aspirants in action. Such lettermen as Bill Kukihlko, John Ilanchlk, Keith Clabaugn, Art Beddoe, Al Minn, Al Blade, Burnett Ambrose, Bob Hall, Hoy Harrington, Chuck vBowe. Bill Zwallko and Chuck Patterson are virtually cinches to be regulars again, however. Vikings Start More Workouts With hustle and determination a dominating feature of their first week of work, Salem high's Vlk- ings return to Leslie field tonight to open the second week of prac tice labors under the direction of Coach Loren Mort and Assistant Hank Juran. Salem has only a scant few days in which to trim up for the open ing fame of the season Friday, September 16, at Vancouver, Wash. At least two scrimmage sessions are on the books for this week The Salems scrimmaged for the first time Saturday night, and re ports from Mort afterward were on the cheerful side.. Mort has not yet selected what he considers a first eleven. He probably will not decide on starting unit until sometime next week. A number of aspirants, all with a chance in Mort's opinion. are battling for each, position. Meanwhile, new Coach Ken Brophy, at St. Paul last season, has taken over a 40-man Jayvee squad, lopped off the entire turn out of over 80 last week. - Let ye beware!

So much so, that, Aiken has sent DeWayne Johnson, defensive fullback and right end, into passing practice as a potential candidate for the chore. Jerry Lillie, recruited ! from Willamette university to handle the backfield coaching job, appears to be destined for office work; only. Lillie has been ill and is how at home after a seige in the hospital. His physicians recommend no field work which means he will be handling the chart, personnel and office detail most of the season. Aiken Is .tentatively thinking of holding Bill Bowerman, freshman coach, as his principal assistant on the field.
