Quite a loss, too, for big Bill, a former Willamette man, brought both the Cougars'; foot ball and baseball teams into state wide prominence the last- two - years ' . . Oregon State may come up 'with last season's best all- around prep basketball prospect I . after au, despite the fact that the kid, Dave Gambee of Corvallis High, was working ja Seattle re- cently and was' reportedly, signed and sealed by the Washington Huskies. - The six-f oot-slx-incher is there, and is said to be all set to We also learn that Bill Toole, the Beavers'. extremely, fast basketball guard, is to turn out for Kip Taylor's grid squad next autumn. Toole was a prep touchdown terrific at Klamath Falls as a halfback, but has devoted all of his swift to the basketball arena since attending Oregon State . . . Unable to stay away from it even though he's re tired as a player, Len Younce, one of the NY Giants' all-timers will be the umpire in Saturday afternoon's intra-squad game-in McCuI loch Stadium, Len might do well to be particularly alert, for some playful blocker might take a whack at him just for kicks. We sin cerely hope there will be no mistaken identity if such is to be . . . By far . the best umpiring we've seen at Waters Field this semester occurred in the recent Wenatchee-Salem series, one in which Ed Fisher, worked all four games behind the plate nd Don Vandervort, local official, handled the base calls. All four games were decided either by one run or in overtime and there were some tough calls. Yet the boys got by in good shajpe, principally because they were hustling something that has been sadly lacking by most of the ar biting duets this season. Both H. Luby and George (Highpockets) Kelly were outwardly, complimentary with their post-series remarks on the umpiring also.

His worst inning was the ninth when the Broncs filled the bases on a single and two walks. But the rangy righthander was up to the task and fanned Pinch-hitter Glenn Tuckett to end the game. Domenichelli fanned five, walk ed five. His opponent, and victim, was Guy (Grumpy) Fletcher, Broncs veteran. It was Ernie's sixth triumph. Salem scored twice in the fifth when Jim Deyo and Hugy Luby singled, with Deyo scoring , after Outfielder CUht Cameron let Luby's drive go through his legs.

Both 'Howell and Vince Lom- bardi, the backfield coach, believe that football is a game of acUoo and not deep-thinking for the men on the field, that is. For this rea son, they have made the attack as simple as possible for the play ers to remember. The coaches don't want a man to have to spend his time in the hud dle tmnkmg through his assign ment and as a result often missing it Such a moment of hesitation can ruin a play.
