Pace IS Eugene Register-Guard, icn CLIMBED By DICK STRITE : ' Bob' Knox, former physical education and athletic director at Wilson Junior bleb, -was fed up with coaching a few years ago after mentoring at some com paratively small eastern-Oregon high school. He returned to the University of Ovegon to work dn his master's and did an interest ing piece of research work on .basketball. Bob's retirement from the coaching field was Bhort-lived and he suddenly turned up at the University of Idaho where he coached the Vandal boxing team and helped with football ns one of the late Francis Schmidt's as sistantsaiding Babe Brown with the freshman squad. And now he turns up at Franklin high school in Portland where he ap parently has a tough row to hoe in giving the Quakers another co-championship of the tough Portland interscholastic football circuit. The hoop survey conducted br Knox while doing graduate work here was conducted in the coun ty's "B" high schools. He gave the kids a series of 'tests nt the start of the season, tabulated his findinft and seeled them. At the close of season he opened the en velopes and checked through his ratings, discovering an amazing ly good percentage of correct de ductions regarding the potential prowess of individuals and squcds. He was something like 90 percent correct in estimating the winninig teams and the individuals who would eventually become . the league's outstanding players. ,-The tests, which included drib bling, running, shooting, etc., were also given to the varsity basket ball candidates at the University of Idaho with, virtually the same result. In other words, if a cor.ch wishes to chance It, he could give his basketball squad the "Knox test" at the start of the season and eliminate those players who failed to stack up with the best. Although it would save .wear and tear on a coach who has to weed through a large squad but there would always be that chance that the test would eliminate some potentially good prospect The mention of the late Francis Schmidt, who died at a Spokane hospital Tuesday night at the age of 58, brings back the memory of one of the most fantastic foot ball games in collegiate grid an nuls. The veteran mentor, one of the greatest exponents of hocus-pocus football in history, was never . able to Induce his Idaho Vandals to do a great deal with the dazzle-dazzle, or any other kind of football, for that matter. But along about eight or nine years ago, if our memory has survived, we were attending a game at Corvallis and listening to a broadcast of the Oregon UCLA game in Los Angeles up in the Bell Field press box at the4 same time. We recall (In the fog ot listening to the Bruins wallop the Webfoots 33-6) tint Ohio State, coached by Schmidt, had scored twice on Notre Dame in the first half. The two teams were the unbeaten powers of the nation that season and we as sumed the Buckeyes would be crowned champions . . . But be fore the OSC game was finished the final score (Notre Dame 18, Ohio State 13) was announced to unbelieving ears. We don't re call the details, but it seems as though the Irish (with Will Shakespeare in the lineup) scored twice in the closing minutes of play the winning touchdown in the last few seconds to win. Yes, the news of Schmidt's death no doubt brought back thrilling memories to many of the 80,000 fans who were pack Jammed into the stadium at Columbus, Ohio, that November afternoon of the 1935 football sea son. , Sam Sn-ad, the Slantmln-Sam-my from the Virginia hills, may return to competative golf In time to compete in the $10,000 Portland 'open Thanksgiving Day. Snead las recently been dis charged from the navy because of a back injury that is not serious enough to keep him off the links That announcement also brings back the memory of an amazing sports feat in the 1939 National Open at Philadelphia where Snead needed a par five on the final hole to win or a bogey six io tie Denny Shute and Byron Nelson who had already finished. He took an amazing eight , . . Although he was considered the finest stylist and scorer In golfdom, Snead never managed to win a really Dig tournament. Major Leaders NATIONAL A tM. Walker.

Axemen Go to Oregon City Billy Hutchinson Only . 1943 Regular Returning By BED Q. GATES . Closing out their last practice session -with a light workout, the "Big Purple", of Eugene High, Thursday marked time till the opener Friday, night at Oregon City, against the vaunted Pioneers. As the Axemen coach, Hank Kuchera, put it "ori paper they'll beat us, but they had better not," seemed to be the thought of every Eueene nlaver. down to a fourth- string substitute. Just how Kuchera s eleven will stack up is not known, but in nraMlma tn flat thai hnvs whn have an axe for an emblem, show enough to do some fancy decapi tating of the No-Name title aspir ants. As far as experience goes Ku chera has a green team, especial ly in th line W W thpr-A Is not i a' 1943 starter returning, and a j lone lelterman, center and co captain Ronald Ham, heading the. group. In the backfield some 13 ! first-rate candidates but only one, Co-Captain Bill Hutchinson, is a returning first-stringer. In fact, Hutch is the only returning first stringer on the club. , TlpcnitA thic olnnmv itrtA ,,f ; . o " j o " WM- look, Kuchera and assistant, Duane Menem, nave aone tms devel oped 14 men into first-rate con tenders for starting berths in the line, and has 12 backs who could rate to "pack the piggy" for any body in the section. To select a starting lineup is one thing no coach will divulge for certain, till game time. But a glimpse of the Axemen in work ing clothes. Iine3 them up like this: at left end will be Bob Saw yer, a rangy two-year veteran who is plenty adept at defensive work besides being a pass-catcher of note. Harry Paulus, 180 pound junior, has the Inside role on the left tackle spot right now, but Stu Rankin, an untried senior, Is giving him considerable com petition and may edge him out. Marv Reynolds, has been work ing out as No. 1 left guard, and has really been "showing", al though a reserve, Dick Hopner. is due for considerable action. The center post is 'neatly taken care of by Ham, with a good reserve in Junior Charles Mornhinwlg. Corky Mobley will be the right guard. Although small, Mobley is good, durable, and apt to be one of the line stalwarts. Charley Campbell is the second-string re serve. At right tackle will be Al Palmateer, a big rugged 216 pounder who will be plenty hard to move. Right End is taken care of by Bill Fulps, senior, who has shown plenty of pass-snatching ability. , Now that backfield. There's no shortage of talent there. In fact, so much material is on hand that Kuchera hasn't quite given the nod to any one player. Dead cer tain to be in there though is Hutchinson, but whether it will be at right or left half is not known. The diminutive Eugene signal-caller has been throwing some dead-eye passes, and his running is also on the "sharp" side. Either Andy Bodner, out standing line-bucker, or Marion Denzer, swivel-hipped half-pint will be at the other wingback po sition. Billy Harber, is pretty sure of the blocking-back spot, holding a decided edge oh the other can didates as far as blocking and tackling goes. At fullback, if not not playing end where he is a letterman. will be Darrel Robin son, hard-hitting line-smasher. Again the abundance of talnt may put Bodner at full, or Cal Smith, letterman from last year's squad. Floyd Greene is also due to see action at this spot. Eugene will again use the single wing, with an unbalanced line with their main forte probably line bucks. Kuchera indicated though that there will be con siderable ure made of the air lanes, and also plenty of hipper dipper. ' September 22 at o.-eron City n"lVi:,h'.'.

' Navy Gets New Strength Up to a few days ago the 7th Indiana Gsfs Last Year's Ace Again BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Sept. 21 OP) Storm warnings for foot ball foes were flying over In diana University today. The Hoosiers, counted out as a threat to anybody before the sea son started, now are recovering remarkably well af.er a shot in the arm with the surprise arrival of Bob Hoernschemeyer, freed by the navy to resume tossing yard gaining passes that gave Indiana one of the best all-civilian teams last season. True, Indiana broke its stadium scoring record with a 72 to 0 rout of a big Fort Knox team last Sat urday, but coach Alvin N. "Bo" McMillan explained the lopsided triumph away by bewailing that the Armoraiders displayed a sor ry brand of ball. With "Hunchy" Hoernsche meyer starting at halfback next Saturday against Illinois, McMil lin gave "my boys" a "fighting chance" against all rivals. "Hunch y," a Cincinnatian, granted a "special order dis charge" from the Bainbrldge, Md., naval training center and he beat the announcement back to Indiana's practice session yes terday. The discharge will per mit him to make up a deficiency in mathematics before taking up an appointment to the naval academy next April. "Hunchy" was on the Associ ated .Press All-Western confer ence last year, and was on the eastern All-Star squad, for which he tossed a touchdown pass to Pete Pihos, a teammate last year, against the West team in the an nual charity contest at San Fran cisco. jQnuOunp nesem BlenSeS a I s B r .

The navy, however, sent out an SOS for pitching strength so Lynwood (Schoolboy) Howe and Virgil (Fire) Trucks, both of the Detroit Tigers, stepped off a ship the other day. The next trans port delivered Johnny Vander Meer of the Cincinnati Rede They'll work with a mound staff which already numbers Verne Ol stn, Chicago Cubs; Hugh Casey, Brooklyn; Tom Ferrick, Cleveland and Walter Masterson, Washing ton. Bill Dickey, Ruffing's old bat tery mate with the Yanks, will master-mind the navy nine and take his turn behind the. plate, with his kid brother, George, of the White Sox, Vince Smith of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Don Padgett, St. Louis Cards, backing him up. m Johnny Mize of the Cardinals is at first base for the navy with Pee-Wee Reese of Brooklyn; Al Brancato of the Philadelphia Ath letics and Eddie Pellegrini of the Boston Red Sox rounding out the infield. The navy outfield has Barney McCoskey of Detroit, Jim Carlin of the Phillies and Joe Grace of the Browns. Dominic DiMaggio of the Red Sox is reported on his way here, while Phil Rizzuto also may be on hand for an infield post. - j The 7th easily won the Hawaii I league and Central Pacific area ' circuit championships, winning 60 and losing only 13.

Ferris Fain, San Fran cisco's modern -Hal Chase, will be at first base, with Lodigiana at second; Gordon at short, and Bob Dillinger of tha Toledo Mudhens at third.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21. (U.PJ Frank (Stubby) Overmire of the Detroit Tigers, a little man with a long memory, awaited his chance today to gain revenge against the New York Yankees a chance he has awaited for a year. The Yankees are reeling on their heels now. all but mathematically out of the American league pen nant race, but things were differ ent last season when Overmire, a rookie pitcher, permitted them to clinch the flag. The 5-foot, 7-inch Dutchman, didin't want to be the "fall-guy" and he battled the Bronx Bombers 14-lnnings before losing 2 to 1 at Yankee Stadium. Yanks Plight Hopeless The fact that he pitched credit ably and lost to the league's best hurler, Spud Chandler, didn't min imize his bitterness. He wanted revenge and today the situation is reversed. The Tigers aren't going to clinch the pennant yet but no matter what the Yankees do, they aren't likely to be the team to beat them out of it. Presuming that the Tigers are due for a slump and that they may play no better, than .500 baseball in ' their remaining 12 games, which isn't likely, the Yankees now four games behind would have to win 10 but of 12 to tie them and 11 out of 12 to win. The case of tlie Boston Red Sox is even more hopeless. Six games off the pace they would have to win all 12 of their remaining games to tie the Tigers if Detroit broke even and couldn't win under a'ny cir cumstances unless- the league leaders dropped below .500. Even the second place St. Louis Browns hove a tough row to hoe. They would have to win seven out of 11 games to tie the Tigers and there is no reason to think the league leaders are going to drop to a .500 pace when they have won 10 of their last 12 games. Paul (Dizzy) Trout, one of the Tiger "victory twins," got in his licks against the Yanks yesterday, beating them 8 to 2 in his 25th vic tory and his sixth straight against the world champions this year. It was tlie second straight Tiger vic tory over the- Yankees, and their ninth defeat in 10 tries at Briggs stadium this year, Outfielder Dick Wakefield, who has made 25 hits in his last 50 times at bat, started Trout off to victory with an in- side-the-park homer in the second off Rookie Mel Queen, who lost his second game after five vic tories for the Yanks. The Browns kept their ebbing hopes alive by beating the Wash ington Senators 5 to 2. Chet Laabs, replacing the slumping Al Zarilla in the Brown lineup, supplied most of the punch for Jack Kram er's victory, getting three hits. ' Phillies End Win Streak Cleveland outlasted Boston, winning 11 to 10 in the 13tli by scoring two runs in its half after the Red Sox had scored once. The Indians made 19 hits and the Red Sox 15 for a rough day on pitchers. Chicago made all its runs in the seventh ,to defeat the Philadelphia A's 6 to 1, behind Orval Grove, who yielded only four hits in seven innings. Pittsburgh kept intact its slim chance to tie St. Louis in the Na tional by beating Brooklyn 2 to 1 while the Cards were rained out at Boston. Nick Strincevich bested Rookie Fred Wells of the Dodg ers in a duel. The Philadelphia Phillies estab lished their longest winning streak oi me year, six straight, by beat ing Cincinnati 3 to 2 in the opener of a double header, but Bucky Walters came back to win the second for the Reds 6 to 4, pick ing up his 22nd victory.

Kiser-Silent Rattan Meet In Nat Fracas Matchmaker Don Owen signed three matmen to appear on his weekly wrestling show at the Pearl Street arena Saturday night completing an all-star program that will feature the local debut of a highly-touted newcomer, tlie "Grey Mask." Owen, willing to spend some extra money to assure a formid able opponent for the "Mask," agreed to the demands of Buck Davidson for on additional fee to the regular purse and signed the tough Texan as the main event opponent for the much feared hooded grappler. At the same time, Owen booked Coast Champion Jack Kiser to meet Silent Rattan in the opening match of, the program. The cali ber of the card is indicated in the appearance of the light heavyweight king of the coast in the curtain-raiser, and the ex champion, Paavo Katonen, in a semi-final match. Katonen, striving for a re match with Kiser for the coast crown he dropped to. the youth ful and talented St. Johns grap pler, will be meeting Tex Porter, the toothless Seattle villain, in the 45-minute match. The opener, between Kiser and the Oklahoma deaf-and-dumb matman, will be in marked con trast to the headliner and semi windup. Rattan and Kiser are both fine scientific grapplers and are expected to give an excellent exhibition of pure modern wrpstlint ............ , Local fans aren't sure -what t1 expect from the ''Mask," but they are curious and have made a "run" on reserved seat tickets at the Club cigar store ticket agency, indicating a capacity crowd for the Saturday night show.
