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
