THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1931 TROJANS, BEAKS TO RENEW FEUD NEXT SATURDAY Ban Francisco iiw Riding the rrest of top-heavy victory, the Tro jan of Southern California will re new their ancient trridiron rivalry with the unsung Bears of California In the first of this year's "big Rames" at Berkeley Memorial stadium Sat urday. California's unpleasant memory of fin overwhelming defeat in the U. 6. C game last year brought the feud to where it outshone in public atten tion all other coast engagements for the week-end and these include the Stanford -Washington U, game at Seattle. The omens of good fortune and ft pair of plunging backs named Moh ler and Shaver doubtless will carry off the honors of the day for U. S. C, but the hard pressed Bears vow It will not be by any such score a.s the 74-0 holacauet registered last year. As for the Washington -Stan ford contest, the Cardinals and their mystery men seem to hold the up per hand. Unbeaten and tied but once, the Cards are ahead if statis tics are any good, which often they are not. Wwihington has lost to Ore gon, U. C. and U. 8. C, but none of these teams has played Stanford. Glenn Pop Warner has never put his first team in for an entire game, and in consequence the ex perts have been unable to put a price tag on his men. The proven worth of Warner's shock troops, however, make the Palo Altoans fa vorites. The Oregon U. team, smarting un der a lacing handed them last week by the Trojans with a score running Into the fifties, will vent their ani mus on North Dakota in an inter Kctional game at Grand Forks. The 1830 champion Cougars from Washington State ought to win their game with Montana at Missoula. University or California at Los An geles held Ncrthwcstcrn to 19-0 in Evanston last week and are favor ites to turn back the Pomona col lege gridders at Claremont. One of the best Gonzaga teams in years will come to Kezar stadium here Sunday for their annual strug gle with St. Mary's. If the Gaels play no better than they did last week. Gonzaga will give them lots of trouble. But "Slip" Madigan prob ably has attended to the task of en livening his squad, and they should win. "GAHBY" PLEASED Joplin, Mo. A) Charles "Gabby" Street, said Wednesday he was "mighty proud and happy" that Frank te Frisch had been selected as the National league's mast valuable flayer for 1931. "Frank ie is a great player," the Cardinal manager said, "an able field captain, and a real hustler who gave the Cards every thing he had through the season and the world series."

Night Coach Anse Cornell of the College of Idaho has three backfield men upon whom he of the Warner formation "B" otes meet Coacn Keenes wiiiam- ette university Bearcat on Sweet- land Held next Friday night at o o'clock. Two of these men are freshmen, Maxwell, quarterback and Wilson, halfback. The third Is Brown, a veteran halfback. Max well does the kicking and shares the pass hurling chore with Brown. Although Wilson Is said to lack ex perience he has a pair of tricky hips which, coupled with unusual speed makes him a hard man to stop. He Is given credit for being one of the cleverest men to don a Coyote uniform since the eiit of "Josh" Lowell. In McCullough, Coach Cornell INJURY MAY KEEP HAINES FROM GAME Carthage, Mo., iP) "Gabby" Street, Cardinal pilot, speaking at a dinner In his honor here Tues day night, expressed fear that Jess Haines, veteran ace of the St. Louis staff, would never be able to pitch again because of the arm In jury he suffered toward the close of the season. Asked about the prospects of the Cardinals next year, the manager said: "They couldn't stop us In 1931 and I don't see how they're going to do so next season. This Game a0 GOLF Perusal of the statistics emanat ing from the final match of the re cent national professional golfing championship at the Wannamoisett Country club convinces me that one of the war correspondents was suf ficiently Justified In characterizing the contest as being the putting championship. I do not recall any Important combat In which fewer putts were employed on both sides. Accord ing to Messrs. Armour, Burke and Sarazen, defeated by the finalists in earlier rounds, the vivid put ting pyrotechnics of the last day merely made it unanimous. Tom Creavy In defeating Denny Shute 2 and 1 turned In cards of 73 and 72, against 76 and 71; Just good, average, iinaustic golf, judged soieiy by tne totals. The method of achieving these totals, however. Is not at all usual. Shute, the runner-up, used only l putts In the two rounds, con ceding him a pair of putts at the 36th green, which was not played. Giving Creavy the same conces sionand either or both might easily have taken only one putt the new professional champion used 56 putts In the two rounds, or an average of 28 putts to the round, against an average of 30. BARNES ALSO Pl'TTED Now, years ago, I kept track pretty closely of the putting of the winner in our national open cham pionships; and over a term of years it worked out between 32 and 33 putts to the round. I started with Jim Barnes, winning at the Colum bia Country club In 1921. Long Jim's fine, smart and steady putting over some terribly tricky greens there averaged Just 32 to the round; and it would be no great risk to Bay his putting won for him. I became deeply interested In the proportion of putting to the rest of the game, and have watched it closely ever since. I do not remem ber observing any two rounds In important competition with as few putts as those of Creavy and Shute in the P. O, A. finals. For example. In the most perfect round of golf Bobby Jones ever played, the 66 at Stmnlngdale, he used 33 putts; and In one of the hardest rounds of his open cham pionship career, the fourth at St. Anne's In the British open the same year, 1926. he scored a 74 with 39 putts In It. On the other hand, the fewer putts I ever knew him to use In an lmnortnnt medal round were 28 in his opening 68 at St. Andrews in the British open of 1927, He AND FAVORS Low Prices Table Favors Tally Cards Place Cards Invll.idons Novelties Book Store A. A. Gueffrny will likely depend for success style of attack when the Coy has a two year veteran for the quarterback post. He Is handicap ped by being small In size. How ever, he U able to offset this to a great degree by the cool manner In which he handles the team and a pair of .fast travelling feet. In the event McCullough ts used at quart er. Maxwell will be 'shifted to full back In place of the veteran Bar bey. Starting out with few veterans In the line, Cornell and his assistant, Coach George Stovel have succeed ed In building a forward wall cal culated to offset with speed the weight of the Bearcat linemen. However, In Hud gens, Idaho has one of the heaviest tackles In the conference. He weighs 225 pounds. Others working for a tackle berth are Davis and Schwiebert, reserves from last year and the Tyson brothers. Carlson Is the only veteran end who appears to have his Job well in hand. Marquess, handicapped by early season illness, Is expected to be In fine shape Friday night. Bill Wood, former Boise high school ; star. Is giving Marquess a tussle for his position. In Smth and Roberts, the Coyotes have a veteran pair of guards. Stinging under the defeat by Pa cific university, Coach Cornell has been driving his men vigorously and expects to have them In a fighting frame of mind by the time they reach the Bearcat lair. used 34 putts next day. Reverting to the original sugges tion, then, It appears rather plain that both Shute and Creavy were missing the green with the proper shot a good deal of the time; but gettting the chip or the wee pitch or perhaps the recovery shot close enough to make the putting not so tough. Shute had ten greens In the 35 on which he used only one putt; and Creavy had the astonishing number of 15. That each of the players scored worse than an aver age or 72 for the two rounds Indi cates some rather shocking play before the putting began.

(A1) James Rowe, Jr., 42, trainer for Mrs. Payne Whitney's Green tree stables, died here Wednesday. The son of the late James Rowe, head trainer at one time for Harry Payne Whitney's stables, Mr. Rowe had trained the champion three year old, Twenty Grand, and was preparing St. Brideaux, a Green tree stable horse, for the $15,000 Maryland handicap at Laurel race track Saturday. He had become ill Monday of Indigestion. He was regarded by turfmen as one of the best horsemen In the United tSates. Olympic Candidate Fighting for Life Hollywood, Calif. iJP) Suffering from peritonitis which followed the rupture of a gangrenous appendix, Victor Williams, one of the United States' outstanding candidates for the 1932 Olympic games, was bat tling for his life Wednesday. He passed "a fairly comfortable night" the hospital reported Wednesday morning. Williams, a student at the Uni versity of Southern California, won the I. C. A. A. A. A. championship in Philadelphia last May In 47.4 seconds for the quarter mile event, equalling Ted Meredith's world rec ord established 16 years ago. Later he won the national Intercollegiate meet at Chicago and then success fully defended his A. A. U. title at Lincoln, Neb., last July. Williams recently returned from South Africa where he toured with a party of American athletes. LEAVE FOR IOWA Lablsh Center Mr. and Mrs. W. A, Starker left recently by automo bile for Burlington, Iowa, where they will visit relatives and friends. Prom Iowa they will go by train to Washington, D. C, where they will be the house guests of Mrs. Stark er's brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Mikkelson. Roberta Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Zielke and Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Bet tencourt were hosts at an Informal dancing party given at the hall Sat urday evening. More than 30 friends were present for the evening. At a late hour a cafeteria luncheon was served. Sport By Alan In at least one respect, the No tre Dame "system' picked up where It left off when Edward 'Slip) Madi gan s strong St. Mary's eleven whip ped Southern California In the great Coliseum at Los Angeles. It was looked upon as a startling surprise in many parts of the coun try, but not In the far west, where Madigan s outfits are well known or around New York, where St. Mary's demonstrated its class by bowling over the undefeated Ford- nam team a year ago. The Impressive part of the achievement was that Madigan, early In the season, was able to find adequate replacements for star SPEARS LEADS SQUAD ON TRIP TO EAST COAST Eugene (LP) "The gloomy doc tor" and his university of Oregon football players packed valise with cleated shoes and arnica Wednes day in preparation for entraining Wednesday afternoon on their eastern jaunt. Dr. Clarence W. Spears was gloomy when he brought his charg es home from their 53-0 defeat at the hands of Southern California three days ago. The gloom was deeper Wednesday. Lawrence Win ter, end, was found to have a broken knee Tuesday. Steve Fletch er, the other end. Is out of action. Red-headed Orv Bailey and Bill Bowerman, reserve ends, will have to work against North Dakota next Saturday and against N. Y. U. the following week-end. After the North Dakota gr.mo, the Webfeet will have no time for practice sessions before clashing with the undefeated Violets in New York. As a matter of fact. Doc Spears' dejection was largely for public consumption. He has used Bailey and Bowerman interchangeably with Winter and Fletcher all sea son, and has permitted no let down In team morale. Temple vs. Temple For Violet Contest Eugene. Ore. (LP) It will be Tem ple vs. Temple when Doc', Spears' green sophomore eleven of the Uni versity of Oregon plays New York University at New York, Oct. 31. Temple Is a star back of the Vi olets while Mark Temple is one of Oregon's fine, driving half-backs. On the trip east Oregon will play North Dakota at Grand Forks, Oct. 24. Oregon Is hopeful of winning both games. THE VERY CENTRE OP EVERYTHING ix HOTEL INTERNATIONALLY FAMOUS RATES SINGLE WITH BATH 2.50T08. DOUBLE WITH BATH $4. TO 9.

When successors for Knute Rock, ne at Notre Dame were being dis cussed, I heard a number of close adherents of the Fighting Irish In sist that Slip Madigan was the man to "carry on" at South Bend and keep the quality of football produc tion up to the wizard's standard. There is still a strong segment of opinion that Madigan is the man for this big job. It likely will gain momentum with another strong year for St. Mary's on the coast. . . WIN STREAKS SNAP There aren't many winning streaks of consequence left around the foot ball map now that the University of Utah's string, begun away .back in 1927, has been snapped by the Utes' setback at the hands of Wash ington. Even Ohio university's streak, extending over two seasons, has been broken. Tennessee had Its unbeaten march broken up last year. Notre Dame carried one of the most impressive winning streaks into action this year. It was a fit ting climax for Rockne to pilot two unbeaten elevens through two of the hardest schedules any team ever tackled. There are no soft &pois for the Irish this year either, and it will be close to a miracle If "Hunk'' An derson and Jack Chevigny can keep the boys at a winning peak through en pigments with Northwestern. Pittsburgh, Pensylvanla, Carnegie. Navy, Southern California and Army. A year ago the boys were feeling sorry for Joe McCarthy, ousted from his management of the Cubs ! In favor of Rogers Hornsby. Drop the curtain for a season s passage of time and you find Morse Joe riding high with the Yankees, j grabbing second place from Wash- I lngton and making himself solid with metropolitan fans, while Hornsby struggled in with a dis rupted outfit of fading stars. McCarthy, on the basis of his 1931 showing with the Yankees, can have a long-term job, but Horneby has yet to meet the de mands of Owner William Wrlgley. COMISKEY BETTER Eagle River, Wis. iVP J.

Coast Baseball Has Good Season Los Angeles, iP) Baseball of the Pacific Coast league was one thing that wasn't hit by the depression in 1931. This year the league played to 1,637,595 paid admissions as against 1,673,123 during 1930. The decrease of 35,528, however, was blamed on the fact the league played 28 weeks hi 1930 as compared with 26 weeks this year. Lea gue officials said if the sea son had been the tame length as the previous year, a heav ier record probably would have been e&tablished for 1931 than for 1930. the word ahQ is beiug tossed around quite a bit of late but we prefer to talk quality. .when you buy the best quality you buy the best value. that is a faet one cannot set around clothes that fall down in satisfaction, style and service are poor values at any price. .we recommend Kuppenhoiint r good clothes as the best value you can pos sibly buy.
