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.

1944 Eugene High Grid Team Lacks Experience;
Kuchera Has Top-Flight Backfield, Line Fair .
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. '

Many Former Diamond Stars
To Play in 'World Series'
HONOLULU, Sept. 21 0J.B
The biggest array of major league
talent in the armed forces ever
gathered since the war began will
perform for thousands of service
men here starting today, when the
powerful seventh air force, rep
lesenting the- army, meets the
navy All-Stars in the Pacific
"world series."
Despite the fact that the seven
game series would attract capac
ity crowds at top prices in the
local stadium which holds 25,
000 all games will be played on
service fields before rooting sec
tions of sailors and G-I's who un
doubtedly will see as good, if not
better, baseball than the real
world series. '
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

was an odds-on favorite to grab
the title because of such siars as
Joe DiMaggio, Red Ruffing and
.Toe Gordon of the New York
Yankees; Mike McCormick of the
Cincinnati Reds; Walter Judnich
of the St. Louis Browns and Dario
Lodigiani of the Chicago White
Sox.
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

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.
Ruffing- to Get Call
Ruffing will share mound
chores with Johnny Beazley of
the Cards and Al Lien of the San
Francisco Seals. In-addition, man
ager Tom Winsett, long-time ma
jor leaguer, can call on Rugger
Ardizoia of the Kansas City Blues,
Bill Schmidt of Sacramento, Cal.,
and Carl De Rose, ex-Yank rookie
from Albany, Cal.
Charley Silvera of Kansas City
and Will Leonard ot the Red Sox
will catch. 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.
The fence-busting outfield of
DiMaggio, Judnich and McCor
mick is enough io make strong

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

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.
