PACIFIC LOSES
FOG BATTLE BY
19 TOO SCORE
On fog bound Sweetland field
Willamette university won the foot
ball championship of the Northwest
conference last night.. With several
hundred would-be spectators In the
stands catching an occasional
glimpse of the wralth-llkc pigskin
gladiators as they went through their
maneuvers, the Bearcats downed
Pacific university 19 to 0. And while
Whitman Is yet to be played the re
sult of the Thanksgiving day clash
on' Sweetland field cannot block
Willamette out of Its 1936 pennant.
Reflecting in some measure the
thick atmosphere which settled over
the playing field just before the
opening whistle. Coach Keene's men
were In something of a fog them.
selves as they had m difficult time
In getting underway In the Initial
period. A bell in the Willamette
rooting section, clanging an occas
ional doleful note, sounded for all
the world like a warning signal at
the mouth of a fog bound bay. The
murky conditions surrounding the
field completer! the nautical picture.
So thick was the fog that few spec
tators In the south stands saw Bill
Beard as he caught a Pacific punt
on the Willamette 46 and then gal
loped down the north sidelines for
the first touchdown. Sports writ
ers In the press box, lost Beard In
the fog shortly after he crossed
nudfleld and did not pick him up
again.
Beard, a former Oregon City high
achool gridster, had an important
role in the battle of the murk. In
addition to the second period touch
down. 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.
Next Thursday's game will close
the season for Willamette.

squad were present for the first of.
flclal practice. Although football
still active, basketball will soon be
forging Its way into the limelight.
The Wolves, last year, had the
best team that was ever turned out
by Oregon Normal, and many school
dopesters think the team this year
win oe as good, and may even ex
ceed last year's team. The team at
present will be handicapped by the
loss of their leading scorer and cap
tain, Jack Butterworth, who led his
team to many victories last year.
Butterworth was rated on four dif
ferent all-star teams. Mohler, cen
ter of the football team, will take
the position left by Butterworth,
although Bothwell, all-state man of
The Dalles, may be converted back
to center position. Elmore Borden.

score of the game and officially
closing the season for Woodburn.
All extra points were missed.
The work of Seely and Krupicka
in the Woodburn backfleld was the
outstanding feature of the day. In
addition to setting Woodburn up
lor their third score, Krupicka play
ed a beautiful defensive game and
also made several nice gains
through th line. Th Woodburn
line as a whole played great ball,
always being on the alert and sev

losses.
Bands from both schools were on
hand to add color to the occasion.
The Woodburn group gave several
"between the halves'' stunts.
