She avenged mora than 16 points a game during the part season with a club which won 73 consecutive games. Skits and Scratches By Fred Zimmerman Capital Journal Sports Writer To members of the No Name, WVI, Oreater Willamette and similar lea gues we would suggest they change their Ideas concerning Albany high whenever the subject of athletic competition Is broached. The Hub City has (or a number of years been considered somewhat In the light ol a soft touch when basketball, gridiron activities and the like were considered. But under the regime of Adams and 8wanaon, (Dwlght and Tommy to you), we believe the Albany athletes will no longer sub mit to substituting for doormats for the opposition. Both have confidence and ability; know how to handle young men and get the most out or them. So the Infu sion of new blood In the coaching staff of the Linn county metropolis should be a big help to other mem bers of the various leagues the stronger the competition the better the games. Somewhere along the line of negotiations between the Al bany school board and the coaches, a bit of misinformation waa loosed. It has to do with "four years Coach Dwlght Ad ams quarterbacked for Willam ette's football tram." We can Imagine the laugh Dwlght got out of that one. He did a good Job of coaching football at Dal las, but he'll probably never for get the experience he enjoyed (?) when he went with Coach "Spec'' Keene and his Bearcats to Seattle where they engaged the University of Washington Huskies. As we recall, Dwlght was playing safety on that oc casion, at any rate he was step ping high, wide and handsome down the well known gridiron when something happened That something was a huge Wash ington tackier who hit Mr. Ad ams with the Impact of a safe dropped off a 10-story bonding. Right there Dwlght received his A.B Ph.D. and WPA In football. If he can teach his Albany prot eges to hit as hard aa he got socked on the Huskies' battle ground, there will be nothing to It. The championship Is his. He probably needs a bit more sea soning, but It looks like Don Cutler of Parrlsh Junior high Is the an swer to several Softball managers' prayers for a championship pitcher. He has control, speed and ability to get a hook on the big ball which Is called sort by courtesy but which In actuality Is hard to take on the end of a digit. Don tosses a ball which raises, one which all batters agree is the hardest to do anything with. He's still competing In the Intra mural league so It wont do any good for scouts of the downtown lea cue to approach bun with a con tract. This and thati Jim Watts, Rseburg high school coach, would like to see the broad Jump added to the ever-growing Hat f relays. The reason? Jim has fonr youths who turned In rec ords of M feet ll't Inches, ze fret 1 Inches, M feet 4 Inches and 19 fret f Inches In a recent Inlerrlaas meet. ....

The "Reds" with Vera Wadsworth at the helm, held a slight edge In pow er throughout the hot afternoon but had It not been for a bad pass on the part of Bill Thompson. "Black" center, the game would probably have ended in a scoreless tie. The fluke came late In the contest and six points were credited to the "Reds" when Pete Tow, an end, fell on the loose oval. A pass from Rush to Tada was good for the ex tra point. Offensive play was somewhat rag ged because several of the boys, playing strange positions, were not familiar with their assignments. Defensive line play was fairly strong although the forwards were unable to open holes consistently for the backs. For the "Reds," Ed Yada, playing his first game in the back field, got away on two or three oc casions for fairly good gains around the end. while Rush, a fullback, looked like he might develop into a kicker.
