REAL GAME IS PREDICTED FOR SWEETLAND FIELD WILLAMETTE CARRY STARS Football fans f Salem and sur rounding towns had their eyea turn ed toward the capital city Fiiday, for the classic of tlie Northwest con ference, the annual tilt between Willamette universtiy and Whitman college was scheduled to get under way on Sweet land field at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Upon the out come of the struggle depends, to ft great extent, the championship of the circuit. The Bearcat took the title from Whitman last fall In an pic struggle at Walla Walla. Whe ther they will continue to remain At the lop of tlie heap seemingly depends upon their ability to play through an afternoon of real foot- i ball. Psychologically the odds are In i favor of the Missionaries, since Wil- lamette has tike burden of defending: Its reputation of not having been defeated by ft conference rival In two seasons. In reality, taking Into consideration aU scores of the year. It appears the battle should be ap proximately even, with perhaps the "breakf deciding one way or the ether. While Willamette defeated College Of Idaho 34 to 14 and Whitman was only able to eke out ft 7 to 0 vic tory in the las minute of play, it is pointed out that Idaho was leading Willamette 14 to 13 at the half. The Bearcats then scored an earned touchdown, giving them the lead. The Coyotes, throwing discretion to the breezes, bepan tossing parses. Ed Cardinal intercepted two of these, each one resulting in a touchdown. 8o it all simmered down to about a 7 to 0 win for Willamette. Coach Borlike will bring with Mm an extremely versatile backfield. It consists ol the elusive Buddy Ap plegate, who was responsible for the Coyote defeat: Gibson, the punting quarterback, who was a start on The Dalles basketball fquad; Council and DeVanty. speedy halfbacks and Butphin, pas-throwing and line plunging fullback. Auainst this bunc h of stars. Coach Kcenc will pit Walt Erickson, the Washoupal flash, whose long Jaunts down the field have been the sen sation of Willamette football his tory; Charles LVPoe, coot pass thrower and ball carrier; Red Lang, who seldom falls when called upon for a few yards through the line; Louie Johnson, playing his first year for Willamette but one of the best interference runncro on me squad; Leo McEneny, long distance punter and Julian Smith, open field runner. In games played this year the Bearcat squad, and especially the line, has been criticized for not put ting their best into the entire game. It is pointed out, however, that there has been no particular Incen tive. For the most part the games have been cinched in the first few minutes of play. Persons who have been following the squad closely predict that if It te faced with a real tussle the players, individually and collectively, will battle to the last sun. With one exception, Willamette's line Is made up of veterans. Fred Smith, Salem high school graduate, has been playing such a hard game at guard that In spite of the fact it Is his first experience in last com pany, he Is assured ft permanent berth. The remainder oT the line: Haldane and Cardinal, ends; Car penter and Jones, tackles; Philpott guard, and Ackerman. center, played sensational ball against the Mis sionaries last year and are expected to repeat Saturday. Coach Borle.ske. stung with defeat last fall, immediately began plans for bolstering his forward wall and from all reports has succeeded ad mirably, with such outstanding men fts Captain Llndman, Terrell, Phil lips and Ougenbickler given promi nent mention. 8hy Huntington, former Webfoot coach. Ralph Coleman of O. A. C, and Stritmater, will do the officiating. "Whale Whitman" Is Battle Cry Of These Lads Here's the whole Willamette squad.

ANNUAL OREGON GOLF CLASSIC GETS UNDER WAY Portland W) Ninety golfers, in cluding internationally known pro fessionals and amateurs, were ready here Friday for the opening of the annual Oregon open tournament. Prizes at stake In the three day tournament are $2500 for the pro fessionals and valuable trophies for the amateurs. The program will include 18 holes Friday and Saturday and the 36 hole final round Sunday. Low scores on the 72 holes will determine the winners.

This will be the first ap pearance of Diegel and Sarazen In Portland. Tlie amateur division Is led by Dr. O. F. Willing, Frank Dolp and Eddie Hogan. The Columbia course, where the tournament will be played. Is rather heavy but little rain has fallen re cently and some record scores are expected in both divisions. Frank Sharer, Jr., of the Ulahee Country club, Salem, was scheduled to participate with the lirct group to tee at 10 a.m. He was paired with C. L. VanDertord, Inverness coun try club, Portland, and Jack Hutch inson, Portland. Rockne Sings His Blues, HanleyDue For Hectic Time Chicago (AP) That interesting midwestern dis cussion, concerning the comparative strength of good Notre Dame football teams and the Big Ten championships, will be settled among owier things wnen the Irish and Northwestern meet Saturday.

FOR HARD GAME Monmouth Normal classic, better known as homecoming, will be held on tlie O. N. 8. campus Saturday. On Friday evening the annual tro phy awards will be contested for by all the student organizations, with floats and stunts figuring in the points for leadership, and these will be followed by the pep rally and burning of the effigy of Saturday's football rivals, tlie eleven of tlie La Grande normal. Snould the locals win Saturday's game, they will be eligible to claim the championship of Washington, Oregon and northern California normal schools, having won con sistently throughout the season. It is expected that this game will be the hardest fought one of the year, and although a poor start was made by Uie eastern Oregon normal, the first of the season, they have work ed up a formidable squad. Oregon normal has featured a fast and tricky offensive, which has consistently gained touchdowns this year, and, against the hard-hitting, battering type of play used by E. O. N. 8., should make an exceptionally interesting match. At present, O. N. 8. has a total of 108 points to six against It, and has defeated admittedly tough teams with comparative ease.

Coach Knute Rockne Thursday started singing in a minor key Notre Dame Is ready mechanically, but he is a little afraid the rig ors of murderous schedule has taken too much out of his men, and they will not have the edge necesf-ary to slice through the big ger Northwestern eleven. All of which bodes no good at all for Northwestern, for whenever Rockne has sung blues this season, Notre Dames next opponent took a lac ing. Out at Northwestern the bovs con tinue to believe Rockne has n right Coach Dick Hanlcy .says his teams go Saturdays as they go in practice during the week And he has described this week s drills as immensely better than any others of the year.

TAGOMA TIGERS Portland fr: The Portland Buck- aroos Friday were at the head of the Pacific Coast Hockey league standings as the result of hteir 3 to 1 victory over Tacoma here Thursday night. Portland ran up a three point lead in the first period. They were unable to get past Goalie Rcbertson again but that was enough. The Tigers made their lone tally early in the second period. The game was ragged and slow. There were spurts of brilliant .play by both teams, however. The new offside rule that players must not advance ahead of the puck in crossing the blue line slow ed the game more than anything else. Tlie whistle was blown b2 times and 32 blasts were for in fraction of the new rule. The fans did not hesitate to express their disapproval of the rule.

COLUMBIA AND LINFIELD MIX Portland M Columbia univers ity Irishmen play tlielr last North west conference football game of the season here Friday with the Lin field Wildcats. The game Is an annual battle and for once Gene Murphy's Irish eleven is the favorite. Columbia has lost one and won two conference games this season, defeating Pacific. 13 to 6, and College of Pugct Sound 7 to O. College of Idaho, with a fierce aerial attack, broke a 6-all tie in the last quarter and beat Columbia 20 to 6. Henry Lever Is serving his first ytar ns coach at Lin lie Id and has a combination of freshmen and soph omores that has been showing pro- mi'. L!nfi!d, however, has scored but one Touchf'own this year. STANFORD AND BEARS READY FOR BIG GAME Berkeley W) California's Golden Bears and Stanford' Cardinal waited in their retreats Friday for the call Saturday which will bring them together for their 36th "big game. The Bears pin their hope on their forward wall and the ability to block a passing attack a defense they have se'dom shown this sea son. If the line can hold the driv ing Cards, and the secondary de fense can function against an aerial barrage, dopesters sny the Beara will have an even chance. But II either defense fails. It will be Just "too bad." The weakness of the lines of both trams Is expected to turn the game into a battle of the air, which, pre vious showings Indicate, would give Sum ford a distinct advantage. Tlie Cards haven't appeared as a strong team. But their one defeat, 41 to 13 by Southern California, looks like a victor? compared to Cal ifornia's 74 to 0 beating by U. 8. O. Washington State and Washington have aided in ruining the appear ance of the Bear eleven. FRANKLIN BEATEN Portland IP Wade William.
