Statesman Salem, Ortw WecL. lEaDMim9 Mcpimg I With Jerry Stone Bob Funk, in his job as grid mentor at west-side Salem- Acad emy, has had bis manpower troubles this season what with an ini tial turnout of around 15 aspirants.

Th game was a rough one and the word is that the Concordias more than did their bit to make it so . . . The Academy's already thin ranks were further depleted when one player sustained a slight con cussion and a broken nose in the game and another got a shoulder dislocation ... The collision of the baseball and football seasons is made the more apparent when realizing 'that some of the elevens will be finished with a third of their schedule before the Work! Series terminates . . . Ted Johnson, the former Willamette hooper now mentoring Jefferson's Lions, wants it known that he'd like three or four games for his cagers early in December. Interested schools please contact Ted . . . What's the highest sanctioned bowling average for one season? The ABC says the honor belongs to Skang Mercurio (how could he miss with a moniker like that) and the 238 he rolled in 1933-34 . . . WU athletic chief John Lewis, back from scouting College of Idaho in the Coyotes -lop-sided win over Linfield, winces at the size of Sam Vokes' line. The Idahoans have a freshman tackle hitting the scales at 250 and their transfer from Southern CaL, Norm Hay es, is no midget at 215 . . . Lewis pegs the Coyotes as definitely the team to beat in the NW conference race ... So Ted Ogdahl and his Bearcats will have their work cut out for 'em come Saturday night at Caldwell . . . More TV9 Lets Beer This Series A year ago at Series time the local Jeer halls were spilling over with frenzied ball nuts, trying to get a peek at the rendi tion on the then very rare TV sets . . . The slurp of suds pro Tided background music for the drama on the diamond; a guy . was apt to be1 tarred and feathered if he so mnch as dropped a nickel in the Juke box.

But them thar days are gone, since TV antennae now are as common a sight here as parking meters on the streets . . . There still is a chance for the beer emporiums, however . . . Lots of gents, fans or otherwise, are quick to grab at any excuse to get down on the corner and put a couple of tall ones under their belts ... They may present the little woman with solid points like ; they wanna banter with the boys between innings, or they wan na be In a position to show that nitwit Yankee rooter down the street what anitwit he is, or they just plain wanna see the Se ries in a nice masculine atmosphere ... If the little Lady falls for the line, the joints will do okay today . . . Dodger rooters figure this at long last is the Series when they'll have last laugh on the Yankee faithful Since everybody is making their picks we might as well get in on the act also . . . Our opinion is that the Brook followers will have the last laugh. Just too much raw power in dem Bums' makeup ... Burns Wonders What euGuy Has to Do Irony of the week: Bob Burns being 11 under par for his ' last 20 holes in the KOCO tourney and yet finishing no higher ' than fourth place . . . Ezzard Charles apparently is the No. 1 pick as next opponent for Maricano. Still no serious considera tion for Canadian champ Earl Walls, who twice decked Rex Layne for the count ... Now Layne is no classic fighter, but he did give LaStarza a rough session a year ago before Roland eked a decision. Rex has fought a lot of the best and has a reputation of being tough and extremely hard to put down for the count Yet Walls did it twice . . .-The Canadian surely rates some kind of nod from the inner circle of the IBC ... As per custom, the bowling scores came in the other night : and this writer, peeking at high series honors in the Capitol Major League, noticed that Dick Phipps had an 851 . . . M'gosh, we thought, highest series in Salem history and one of the high est anywhere ... We grabbed a sheet of paper, and were al ready to jam it in the typewriter for an eye-popping story, when - our eye chanced farther up into the scores and discovered an kinds of rSW and "700s" . . .

I- ' I . - s 5 holding the baiL The Vlks play hoping to elaborate on his already Pederson Wins Armory Match On a 'Fluke' There was no riot at the Armory last night, and no fan was foolish enough to storm the ring to get his whiskers parted by someone's fist. But it's been a long, long time since any grap- pler has been gypped such as Luther (The Tank) Lindsey Was in the evening's main event with Arrogant Eric Pederson. It was so bad that the cus tomers left in a hull They should have, for Pederson didn't actual ly win the match any more than you did. Lindsey is filing an official protest with the local commission as a result of It alL Here's what happened: After taking some wicked punishment from Pederson in the third fall, Lindsey rallied and gave the booable blond a terrific working over. He had him all set for the kill on three occasions, but Eric shook loose. As the two scuffled alongside the ropes, Pederson suddenly smashed Lindsey to the mat with a right-hand punch. Eric then jumped on the prone Luther for the pin. But one of Lindsey's legs was twisted in the ropes, making the task easy for Pederson. Luther was powerless. Worst of it all Referee Sugi Hyamaki, imported by Matchmaker Elton Owen spe cially to handle the big brawl, didn't see the foul-up in the ropes and counted Lindsey out'1 When given the win by Hya maki, Pederson wasted no time sticking around. He jumped from the ring and ran for the dress ing room before the irate fans fully realized what had hap pened. Eric had taken the first fall with a punch and body press and Lindsey the second with a Greco-Roman hold, a spectacular back body drop. The match was every bit as torrid as it was ex pected to be, even'v though end ing on a sour note. In the prelims Danno McDon ald provided a major upset, by using his rolling short-arm scis sors hold for two straight falls over Irish Jack 0Riley, Johnny Henning dumped The Ram and Frank Faggety and Victor Ochoa went to a draw.

By a unanimous vote of 8-0 at a meeting of the league owners the third in three days the Browns were moved to Baltimore which bowed out of the American League just 50 years ago in 1903, , Bill Veeck, the colorful owner of the Browns who has been trying to get out of SL Louis for more than a year, sold his 79 per cent control ling interest to a group headed by attorney Clarence Miles for $2,475, 000, including all minor league pro perties. As a result of the transfer, the way also was paved for the league to expand to 10 clubs, including the two Pacific Coast cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco. Del Webb, co-owner of the New York Yankees, who led the fight to award the . Brownie franchise to Los Angeles, admitted that he vot ed for Baltimore "because I did not want any dissension in the league." In fact, he said, he made the Baltimore motion. But, he added: "I made this motion with the pro vision that the American League expand into a 10-club league to in dude the two Pacific Coast cities Los Angeles and San Francisco."
