Top Non-Title Brawl
In Years Scheduled 1
For New York Arena
By Jack Hand
NEW YORK. Oct- 25-(JP-New
England support for rugged Rocky
Marciano, unbeaten Brockton,
Mass, slugger, today shaved the
odds close to even 'money for his
tig 10-roUnd test against Joe Louis
tomorrow night at Madison Square
Garden.
Walk one side of the street and
you hear it's even Stephen 6 to
5 and take your pick. On the other
side, Louis remains a 7 to 5 favor
ite. By nngtune 10 p. m. (7 p. m.
PST) the 37-year-old Brown
Bomber may go to 8 to 5.
To Be Broadcast
Coast-to-coast radio (ABC) and
television will beam this heavy
weight brawl to millions. Still
some 15.000 are expected to pay
$150,000 or more to see it in,the
flesh. -
With $185,000 from TV and ra
dio rights, the fighters will slice
up a juicy gate. Louis' 45 per
cent should be about $13Z,dou and
Marciano's 15 per cent around
$44,000.
Not since Louis rocketed up the
ladder from the Golden Gloves has
non-title heavyweight brawl ex
cited so much interest. Louis is
the magic name that lights the
flame. But the lure now is the
chance of being in on the kill
that night when some youngster
will knock the Bomber into re
tirement for keeps.
Now Is the Time
Up New England way they think
the time has come. Spilling over
medicore fighters and beating
good ones like Roland Lastarza
and Rex Layne, the 27-year-old
Marciano, with the smashing right
nana wauop, xney say, wiu pni a
period to the 17-y ear-career of
Louis.
Generally speaking the prof es
sionals of the fight mob manag
ers, seconds and matchmakers
like Louis. The man-in-the-street
goes for the kid from Brockton.
One veteran manager put it apt
ly: "It's a case of how far has
the young guy come and how far
has the old guy gone.
The pick here is Marciano with
hesitation, knowing full well he
must win by a knockout or not!
at alL For years you fattened your
batting average picking Louis and
the Yanks. But the combination of
youth and punch is too much temp
tation.

Princeton-Cornell Tilt
Tops A niong Many Vital
Loop Clashes Saturday
NEW YORK. Oct. 25-l-The college football spotlight turns this
week to half a dozen vital conference games, but none mora important
than the meeting between Princeton and Cornell at Princeton's Pal

department, the Sparts single
wing offensive is led by Halfbacks
Mike Wetherbee, Frank Beer and
Duane Speers, Fullback Bill
Thompson and Quarterback Dow
Poling. The latter is a sharpshoot
ing passer and could conceivably
give the Salem secondary de
fenders a busy evening. Gerry
i Handy, a 145-pound scooter, is
another capable Spartan back.
Captain Tom Blackstone, a 183-
pounder is the foremost Spartan
lineman at left tackle.
Corvallis won four straight
games over Newberg, Bend, Leb
anon and Cottage Grove to start
this season, but in 'the past two
weeks havelost 20-0 to Eugene
and 26-6 to Springfield. And
since Salem beat Spirngfield,
hopes of the local lads for" an
upset tonight are indeed high.
The Salem backfield combina
tion of Quarterback Dave Tom,
Halfbacks Bob Joy and Don Davis
and Fullback Burt Harp, starters
in last week's 21-0 win over Leb
anon, likely will open play for the
Viks tonight Bill Nelson might be
Inserted in place of Tom. Joy and
Wee Chuck Puhlman teamed to
complete 10 of 19 passes in the
Lebanon game. Davis, Harp and
Joy led the Vik ground attack
also. Mike Campbell, sophomore
second stringer also turned in
commendable ground advances.
The Viking line, which has had
but one bad game this season and
that against Bend, likely, will line
up with Dennis Garland and Al
Heston as ends, John Conder and
George Meyers as tackles. Derald
Knittel and Don Berg as guards
and Captain Marv Langeland at
center on offense. Defensively it
will be Knittel and Hestons at
ends. Meyers and Bob Thlessen at
tackles, Berle Akers and John
Perry as guards. Garland and
Berg as linebackers. Harp and
Vern Reuse as defensive halfbacks
and Davis at safety.

The regular portion of the an

comes to a close with two games
today, one featuring the undefeat
ed Leslie Golds. The Golds, riding
high with three straight victories,
play the Parrish Cards in a 6:30
o'clock mix at Leslie. The Cards
have one win, two losses.
A 3:30 pjn. clash at dinger
field puts the West Salem Giants
against the Parrish Greys. The
Giants last week won their first
game of the season, downing the
farrish Cards 14-7. The Greys
have yet to win.
Following - today's round the
league members go into a playoff
play starting November 2. The first
place winner of the regular race
will then square off with the No.
4 team while the No. 2 team plays
the No. 5 team. The No. 3 finisher
in the regular race will play
November 9 game with the winner
of the 2 vs. 5 game and the cham

From all appearances of the race
to date it will be an all-Leslie
affair on through to the wire.1 If
such is to be the case it will be
the first time in years that the
Leslie teams have dominated the
Junior high grid picture. Usually
Farrish has that distinction.
Huskies Miss

SEATTLE, Oct. 25-P)-Lacking
a good squad of jayvees with
which to scrimmage, Coach Howie
Odell put the University of Wash

up routines today in preparation
for Saturday's game with the
Stanford Indians.
The Huskies avoided body con
tact scrimmages, running a seem
ingly endless succession of traps

and pass patterns against mythica
opposition.
me absence or opposition was
because the combined frosh and
jayvee squads had already left for
Corvallis, Ore., where they will
meet the O.S.C. jayvees tomorrow,
And it was noted up this way
that Stanford has been practicing
with a wet ball. The weather man
advises it may not be necessary.

The Statesman. Salem, Oregon. Friday. October 28, 1351
Old as Oregon, Henry DeGuire
Hale and Hearty at Age of 92
l Henry R. DeGuire. 220 S. 15th si. was 92 years old Thursday and
still going strong, members of his family said.
f Lifelong resident of Oregon, DeGuire was born in the Porter hills
area above Silverton on Oct. 25. 1859, the same year Oregon was ad
mitted to the union. He has lived most of the last 60 years in the S.
lem-buvenon area.
! Never one to be caught behind
the times, DeGuire celebrated his
92nd year two days early with a
dinner and home movies at the
home of a granddaughter, Mrs.
Vernal D. McMullen.
f Honoring him were his son and
daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs.
Ray E. DeGuire; a granddaughter
and her husband, Mr. and Mrs.
Allen Touche; a grandson and his
wife,) Mr. and Mrs. Loren Hicks;
Mr. : and Mrs. McMullen; great
grandchildren, Alan, Barbara,
Ronald and Douglas McMullen,
and friends, Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Thomson. .
DeGuire spent a varied and col
orful life after leaving home at the
age of nine. He spent three-years
with i an elderly French-Canadian
trapper, then journeyed to Salem
to work in Mission Woolen mills
until the mill burned down. Then
at the age of 15, he returned to
the Silverton area until 1876.
The urged to move on took him
then! to eastern Oregon by the
then-new railroad to Portland and
by river boat to The Dallesv In
eastern Oregon he worked ox
ranches and rode the range as-
cowboy, including a few brushes
with restless Indians in the areav
he said. ; ; , ' , v , j
Then at the age of 29 he wis
married to Mary Jenny Parrish' at
Fossil, Ore., and returned to the
Willamette valley to farm in An
keny hills south of Salem. Except
for nine years in California, De
Guire has spent the rest of his-life
in the valley. ' ; ..
DeGuire is still healthy an
happy, his family said, and still
able to take care of himself.
