Since at this early point in the f should be far from sated pigskin wise, it's peculiar that more didn't respond to that initial call of the thudding pigskin . . . And ye of the Bearcat faith, don't consider the season to be a mess simply because of the opening vanquishment at the. hands of the Loggers. Count on this green WU crew to improve Eeatly under the expert eye of essrs. Ogdahl and Frei . . . Through Saturday a total of $4,162,088 had been poured through the pari-mutuel windows at Portland Meadows for a daily average of $126,138. So looks like the Meadows meets are here to stay . . . Tex Kirkendall, Willam ette's highly promising freshman fullback of last year, will do his gridding for Portland State this season . . , Jack Harshman, a first baseman in the WIL shortly after the war, underwent the conversion to a moundsman and here we have Jack popping up as the No. 1 hurler of the Southern Asso ciation the past season for Nashville . . . Compiled a 23-7 record and it earns him a try with the Chicago Sox . . . The Phillies' big pitching man, Robin Roberts, is undergoing fortunes similar to those of the A's Bobby Shantz last year. Just as with Shantz in '52, Roberts in the last couple months of the cam- aign has had an awful time getting on the winning side of the edger ... It was thought lor a time that Robin might hit the 30 win mark, but now it's doubtful if he'll, bit even 25 . . . Still pretty good chucking though, boy ... Old SyV Talent Rubs Off on Junior Few stars of note are able to impart the magic formula to their offspring; but maybe Sylvester Johnson, the former Na tional League twirling standout, is an exception. At any rate, - Sylvester Jr. has been doing a noble job on the hill for the Oregon City Elks, one of four finalists in the National ABC Meet coming up in Michigan . . . Young Johnson hurled for The Dalles in the '52 State Legion Tourney here . . .

Albany supposedly was loaded this season, you know. Salem meets the Warriors here Oct 30th ... Gustafson finds himself in a somewhat peculiar position this year as he develops some men who will be on the opposing side next season. That, of course, will resuK as half the enroll ment of the 14th Street school is funnelled into the new south end institution . . . When the big split comes there should be lots of Interesting developments athletically . . . Mrs. Eileen Fisk, winner of the OWGA crown at Medford last week, ranks as the top femme golfer in these parts. And nat urally she must also be considered one of the state's best off that Medford triumph. Mrs. Fisk fired in the Women's National Amateur last year at Portland but had the misfortune of running up against famed Dot Kirby in the first round. Mrs. Fisk would say the loss to Kirby was educational even if costly . . . The local woman whizz recently carded a 74 at the Salem club, while firing from men's tees. As far as club officials can recall, that's the best performance ever turned in by a gal on the South River Road course . . . Regional Sched Irked M-City Softballerg The Kelly Lumbermen of Mill City, state softball champs but unsuccessful in the recent reiona!s at Pendleton, wonder just who made up the schedule for the Pendleton affair. The Lumbermen complain that the sched was so off-cenier that they had played two games and were out of the running before some entries had played even their maiden contest ... It must have been good news for Johnny Lindell the other day . when he got a pardon from Siberian exile. Uli pardon meaning when the big knuckleball pitcher was traded to the Phils from the lowly and utterly hopeless Pittsburgh . . . Pitching for the Pitts must be the ultimate in frustration ... But the acquisition of Lindell must not have been of much help to the peace of mind of Phil Catcher Stan Lopata. A goat a short time before on a muff of a third strike, Lopata found himself in an identical plight as a Lindell knockler dazzled him in the very First game Johnny twirled for the Quaker City club. Bellindiam Game With WCE Next Test for Beaten Bearcats There'll be plenty of work this week on both offense and defense for Willamette's Bearcats as they turn their backs on the season opening 14-0 setback at the hands of CPS and look ahead to the No. 2 test of the campaign Satur day night against Western Wash ington's Vikings at Bellingham. The inaugural against the Log gers saw the green Bearcats hold an edge in the statistics and un leash three substantial drives but Coach Ted Ogdahl's men couldnt penetrate the enemy end zone. Western Washington, a member of the Evergreen circuit," opened its1 season with a 12-12 tie against Pccific Saturday at Forest Grove. The Bearcats came out of the opener with rel-tively minor in juries. The most 'serious in End Dean Benson, who sustained a wrenched hand. Lineman Cliff York suffered a pinched nerve in his neck, but both he snd Ben son should be ready for the Vik-inw?- Bobby Zoelch, the fleet soph from Portland, was the top Wil lamette ball packer against CPS. The performance probably assur ed him of a regular slot Unbeaten Viks i . , - Host Albany Friday Night A Salem High School grid crew that is traveling at one of the fastest point paces in Vik history, gets into tougher competition Friday night in the home opener with Albany's Bulldogs at Waters Park. Coach Lee Gustafson's men racked up their second straight win of the campaign via a 40-0 victory over a so-so Astoria team, after having topped Cleveland of Portland 21-0 in the season's first start i A fair idea of just horn strong are the Vikings may come in the Albany mix. The Bulldogs had been touted as one of the strong ei" teams in the district, but some of the zest was removed from that belief when Lebanon upset the Albanys by a 25-18 count on Friday night Still the Bulldogs should pro vide the Gustafson bunch with their first really stern test. Only injuries for the Viks in the Astoria game were slight leg hurts for Linemen Tom Pickens ahd John Persons. Both should be ready for Albany. One of the surprises in the Astoria game was the work of the Salem No. 2 backfield' unit con sisting of Herb Juran, Jim An derson, Ken Rawlings and Neil ScheideL Placed in the ball game after more than a quarter of scoreless play, the second-liners caught fire and tallied the i first Vjk touchdown, then added 1 26 points in the final period. !

CORVALLIS UPt The Oregon State football team, beaten 41-0 by mighty UCLA Friday, arrived black at the campus Sunday. 'The Staters, who came through the game without serious injuries, are to begin practice- Monday for their game in Portland next Sat urday with California. 1 Casualties at Los Angeles in cluded Chuck Brackett. with a broken nose, and Andy Skief, with a cut forehead. I Jack Peterson, who missed the UCLA trip because of a pulled leg muscle and Ralph Carr, who play ed only briefly Friday because of a minor injury, probably will be recovered for the Portland game. ;Kip Taylor, OSC coach, said he thought the team would improve as the season progresses. He said he thought Capt. Laverne Fergu son was the outstanding lineman on the field against UCLA. Ducks, Staters Set 2nd Tests Beavers Battle Cal, Oregon Faces Cards By JACK STEVENSON , AP Sperts Writer The first week's play has con firmed the thesis that the power of Pacific Coast Conference foot ball this season can be found with in the city of Los Angeles. Both UCLA and Southern Califor nia came through their initial 1953 encounters without trouble as the Uclans whipped Oregon State 41-0 on Friday and the Trojans of SC beat Washington State 29-13 Satur day. Both were conference games. In non-conference competition, the coast clubs found the going rough with Oregon turning in the only victory by taking Nebraska 20-12 in the nationally televised in the only victory by taking Nebraska 20-12 in the nationally televised game at Lincoln. Otherwise things were dismal. Baylor walloped California 25-0, College of the Pacific upset Stan ford 25-20 and Colorado edged Washington 21-20.

Two conference games match California at Oregon State and Oregon at Stanford. Idaho plays Utah at Salt Lake City and Washington State tangles with College of the Pacific at Stock ton. Calif. Aramis Dandoy was the big gun for the Southern California Tro jans against Washington State. He scored twice, once on a 91-yard dash, gained 169 yards on 19 rush ing plays and completed three of seven passes for 53 additional yards. Linden Crow, right halfback, scooted 6S yards for another Tro jan score. - Baylors quarterback Cotton Dav idson directed the winning attack against California. He scored touchdowns in the sec ond and fourth quarters on sneaks from the one-yard line and called the plays that sent halfback L. G. Dupre over from the one in the first period and halfback Jerry Coody into the end zone from three yards out in the third. Sophomore Homer Jenkins of Col orado ran, passed and quick kicked the favored Washington Huskies in to submission. The Huskies scored first when guard Jim Noe went 77 yards after plucking a fumble out of the air. Then Jenkins engineered a drive climaxed by his 16-yard pass to Gary Knafelc.
