Beard started his mates on the way toward another In the third when he uncorked a pass from the Willamette 39 which Walt Wea. ver picked out of the clouds on the Pacific 20 and then carried to the 4 from which point Dick Welsgerber Jostled his way over the final white stripe. Beard scored again in the third when he sped around right end for the final four yards of a drive which started on the Bearcat 47 after Brandon had smeared a Pacific pass. As Intimated previously Willa mette had a difficult time in getting underway. A hard charging Paci fic line successfully bottled the Bearcat carriers. On top of that EU ertson's booting repeatedly forced Spec Keene's men back deep In their own territory. Three 15 yard penalties for holding and clipping did not help matters. The game was featured by hard tackling particularly in the second half. A number of Pacific men were forced from the game, while Tats Yada was assisted from the field with an injured knee.

A disappointed but determined band of 30 well equipped huntsmen took stations in strategically placed blinds In the Unaka hills while SO natives sought to drive the quarry Into gun range. Further sting for the pride of the visiting marksmen was felt last night when forest rangers admitted they had been unable to classify any of the hogs killed In the first two days of the hunt as being defi nitely of the Prussian wild boar strain.

Th Woodburn line as a whole played great ball, always being on the alert and sev eral times threw the ball carrier for losses. Bands from both schools were on hand to add color to the occasion. The Woodburn group gave several "between the halves'' stunts.
