McFar land slopped it, for he, not unlike" Tex, had previously learned of Jack Von's death and was being doubly sure that the tragedy ' 1-1 A . It 1 A 1 . idly wilting Canadian fighter." Steele was whipped and McFar land did the right thing. Had he not stopped it when he did well, you heard no beefs from the Steele comer, did you? ..... Although steeped in tragedy, the Wednesday . card did have its laughs.' Particu larly when Yappata-yapplng Jim mie Garrison, who has talked his way into a lotta things since com ing to the village, got himxelf knocked flat by Kid Brown in the first round of their mi. It can be aid that a goodly number of fistic faithful went armoryward Wednes day to see that happen. And how they did howl when loquacious but vtill likeable James hit the deck! ..... The Jack Von benefit show is well under way. Net proceeds from the March 27 card are to be turned over to Mrs. Von, and already Matchmaker Joe Waterman of Portland, Matchmaker Harry Gross of Spokane (both were in attend ance Wednesday), Tex Salkeld and Packy McFarland have tossed $63 into the fund To baseball: Easily-remembered First Sacker Vic Butcola and home run-hitting Outfielder Pete Hughes, seige guns in the prewar Spokane Indian attack, were recently discharged from ihe armed forces and arc now drilling with the Oakland Oaks. Since neither will likely make the grade with same Oaks this summer, it U likely they will be optioned right back to where they'll be most appreciated, Spokane. And if they do wind up on Glenn Wright's nine, we know of at least two bludgeon-carrying headaches for WIL mounds men nejt summer. . . , . . Brand new prospect for Dad's club member shipBud Reynolds.

Erickton : From 'Itererend' to Grid Coach Kilm univrrsity registrar and director of admissions to football coach ami du n tor of athletics is considerable of a hop in a man's life, but new WU Coach Walt Erickson admits the mwt marked change n his vtutus lies in the fact that he will now be called "reverend" no longer. As registrar at the Methodist institution, Walt received mail many times labeled "Reverend Walter E. Erickson." And now that he's football coach, the addressees will automatically drop the mis nomer. Any relationship between the two is usually a misprint at that. Spe,-,king of Erickson, a number of questions have bobbed up concerning the methods with which he intends assaulting end zones iin the Northwest conference next fall. So in answer to the one query asked mostly, i.e., "What type of football system will you use?", here's Walt's own words: "We will ue a double-wing and a triple-wing back. The double-n-ing is a variation of Pop Warner's formation A. The triple-wing dif fers in that the fullback will be placed at various distances from either the right or left wingback. Both formations will start from a full team shift with the exception of the center, who will be in position over :he ball. Experience has shown that speed, power, deception and pass ing opportunities can be had through these formations. Players have enjoyed playing this type'. of ball and spectators like to watch it. It has manv of the s.mr features of the T formation, particularly deception. Another question, "Do you Ftress the'passing game or do you use it only a! an occasional tnreat?!", is also answered: "Passing is an :mporwnt offensive' weapon and we u ill use it to. the fullest extent." iri ' Hare Firttt Tico (lame on the Road Perhaps no one has asked Walt point blank: "How do you think you'll make outT", but if what we've gathered from those who faced hi Carha-, Wash;, elevens a few yenrs auo can be taken as criterion, ErickM-n & Co. will do okeh. That is, if Walt and his company have anything with which to work. Those who faced the Erickson trams at Camas report they were well coached, full of fire and very hard to beat. What more need be said? , ' The Williimcttx, according to the present conference slate, have two road gi.mes next fall before tby debut here at home. The Bear- at inaugurate the Erickson regime September 28 at Pacific U and then go to Vancouver, B.C., for nn October 5 meeting with U of British !olunil)ia.

College of Idaho and College of Puget Sound come to town on ensuing weekends and then three solid weeks are open before Willam ette goes to Walla Walla to play Whitman.
