LI - lillWN This, that, etc: Another footballing lad with Shrine benefit game at Portland who'U be remembered; best around here for his outstanding basketball play for the Valsetz High teams in recent seasons. Fournier transferred to McMinnville High last term and was selected forthe jShrine team from that school! Incidentally, he played three years of six-man foot ball at Valsetz and becomes the first prepper to be picked for the Shrine game with! only one season of 11-man touchdowning behind him . . . Front-page story in the Spokane Chronicle of last Saturday told of the death, jfrom heart attack, of Guy L. Rathbun, agent, for the Spokane Men's Employment Bur eau. Also mentioned that Rathbun had been a former athletic coach prior to moving to Spokane some 20 years ago. Oldtimers ( around here will remember that Rathbun spent three years at Willamette Univer sity coaching football in 1923-24-25, just before the Spec Keene era be gan. Rathbun's teams weren't of championship caliber,? having won only five while losing 17 and tieing two during his three seasons. In fact, Rathbun's 1925 team went down to the worst defeat in WU history, a 108 to 0 lacing by the U of Washington Huskies. In later years he was the North west booking agent for the Harlem Globetrotters basketball and baseball visits to? this; area . . . Our apology to the students and faculty of Gates High School, who seem to be disturbed over the frequent miscasting of their basketbaU team's nickname. Members of the staff have been calling the Gates kids everything from Cougars to Loggers when actuaUy they are the Pirates. Only ex- euse we can offer is that what with no less than 48 high schools phoning in basketball results to us on a twice-a-week basis, we sometimes make frightful blunders in our haste to get 'em all in before the deadline axe falls ... Far nam Now Scouting for Oregon Quint New Job for Keith Farnam, the former Salem High and U of Oregon basketeer. who's marking time until he goes into the Army in Jane. Keith is now the Webfoot's No. 1 scout, a la Paul Vaienti at Oregon State and Bill Morris at Washington, and was in attendance with notebook both nights of the OSC Idaho series at Moscow. Slats Gill's completely revamped offense of Saturday night hid even Farnam baffled, however, and the "triple post" maneuver was a rather startling thing to behold. He had Halbrook, Whitemin and Dean aU tightly packed along the free-throw lanes under the basket, with guards Fundingsland and Jarboe, relieved by Toole, doing the outside ball-handling. It was as wacky as anything we'ye seen in the wavlof an offense this season. But it worked. Coupled with the zone defense set up to offensive thrusts! the change turned easy Vandal win! of Friday night to Saturday. ; Whether Gill will use the same tactics against Oregon in: their biggies this week no one can say. The OSC boss in the; last few vears has been baffling everyone with his various; concoctions, and we don't . believe he's started the same five; lads in any two consecutive games more than once or twice; in the last half-dozen seasons. j While physically! and mentally as tight as new shoes in Friday night's game, Oregon State Saturday was completely the opposite. And perhaps it Could be blamed on the lollapaloozer of a snow-ball fight the OSC'er? had with a group of some 30 or 40 youth center lads and lasses along the block on Basketball Wasn't the Only S 1 After the Friday night game the Staters were a glum lot as they stood around: in front of the hotel, watching the heavy snowfall. The f playful teen-agers across the street figured the ' big Beavers would make dandy targets, and opened cp with a barrage of snowballs. The 0-Staters accepted the challenge I almost to a roan, and 'for the next 40 minutes there was the dangdest snowball fight you could imagine. It was going hot and heavy until a couple of neon signs were knocked out and the city gendarmes arrived. Hard to say who actually won the battle, but everyone in; it was pelted hard and often with the icy missiles, including huge Halbrook, who was naturally the favorite target for the kids. Even Scout Farnam and a few passing Beavers. I In observing the gleeful clash fear someone would fire a rock instead of a snowball our way) noted that the best throwing arm to Ted Romanoff, with Halbrook a close second. Romanoff can throw a snowball, with amazing accuracy, a good half -block. Hal brook has plenty on his fast one too. ! Big Swee had 1o . quit before the cops came, however. He was windingup for a cast, and as he reached up to throw he conked hi hand against the hotel entrance marquee, which was some nie feet above the sidewalk! The blow to his half- j frozen fingers finished him. Had one Slats Gill happened to walk outside during the battle he would havefswooned.to be sure. But He didn't, and the players had a wow of a time of it Could be that the glee was just what the team needed to get loosened up for the Saturday night game . . 1 More Mayhem Atlas, Tag Team Scrap Due at!
