Jumps over the visitor's head. Blrnbaum says the Jumps were
always "between seven and eight feet." Considering that the offi

Tennessee's undefeated, untied and
tinscored on football team arranged
to head for California's Rose Bowl
todiiy amid a lot of fuss over the
Injured knee of halfback George
(Bad News) Cafego.
Whether Cnfego would be ready
to rumble at top speed agflinst Sou
thern California In the New Year's
day classic at Pasadena remained
a big question.
Conch Bob Neyland rates the great
halfback, who Injured his knee In
the Citadel (S.O game November
11, as "a player without a weakness."
Ho Is making his gnme prepara
tions on the assumption Cafego will
be ready, but just In rase, Bulst War
ren and Johnny Butler, the sopho
more flash, have been groomed for
the tailback spot.
"Johnny Butler I doing so well T
may not. even get In the Rose Bnwl
game," Cafego commented. "Why,
that Johnny Is a thrent, every time
he gets his hands on the bnll."

second-basing Job with the Detroit
Tigers, so It's good news to hear
he'll be hitting the major league
highroad again next spring.
Before the 1940 campaign ts well
under way, "Silent Charley" will be
37 years old and the subject of
much speculation as to whether he'll
be able to stick it out through his
15th full season, with the Bengals.
It's a certainty the quiet, reserved
infielder won't have much to say
about It himself but his record will
do a lot of talking in his favor.
He suffered a badly pulled leg
muscle last June In the all-star
game at Cooperstown, N. Y., and
some of the boys said he was on the
way out. But young Benny McCoy,
who was expected to take Charey's
place, apparently Is headed for
Philadelphia.
New York's great youngster, Joe
Gordon, took the play from Gehr
inger last summer, but Charley did
not do badly. He appeared In 118
game, hit .335 and his 132 hits In
cluded 16 homers, six triples and 29
doubles. Possessor of one of the
keenest pair of eyes In the sport, he
drew 68 walks and fanned only 18
times. He also was the best fielding
second baseman in the circuit.

Strong Dallas
Club fo Meet
Salem Vikings
Usually the "crucial" basketball
games come at the end or near the
end of the season. But this year the
preppers are working on a different
plan. As, a consequence what may
develop into the hottest contest of
the sea&un is slated for 8 o'clock to
night on the high school gym floor.
The principals Salem and Dallas.
Although the season has yet to
grow whiskers, and it's too 6oon to
be making predictions, it would sur
prise nobody if Salem and Dallas
both make their way to the state
tournament next March. To date,
Dallas has beaten Willamette uni
versity freshmen twice, while Sa
lem has downed the yearlings once
and beaten Silverton. Dallas made
an excellent showing in the WVI
league Jamboree, as did the Vikings
in the No Name league Jam session.
It's been a good many years since
Dallas has been able to give Salem
much of a battle on the basketball
floor, but all indications point to a
real scuffle tonight. The Dragons,
directed by Dwight Adams last year
and by Coach Hagan this season,
are experienced veterans who know
what the game is about. Their
starting line-up of Dornhecker, Low,
Jackson, Kliever and Peters has
played together for three seasons.
Against this combination Coach
Harold Hauk will send a group of
scrappy kids who will be noted for
their ball hawking proclivities, and
one, Virgil Sebern, who was rated
as an all state forward Jast March.
A preliminary is booked for 6:45
tonight.
Friday evening Salem will meet
Marshfield at 8 o'clock.

Skits and
Scratches
By Fred Zimmerman
Capital Journal Sports Writer
Coaches and other directors
of athletic groups do not leave
players behind when they start
a trek across the country unless
there is some good reason for so
doing. And you can bet a nice
wad of Uncle Sam's folding
money that the Tennessee Vol
unteer management cut their
traveling squad to 35 because
there was a perfectly good
foundation for so doing. A lot
of criticism has been heaped
upon the powers that be back
In Tennessee because they
didn't bundle up every man who
ever wore a helmet and trans
port him out to Pasadena. If
those extra 15 or 18 men would
have been any value to Coach
Bob Neyland against the Tro
jans next New Year's day, you
may be assured they would have
been tucked away In the sleep
em when the Vols hit the rails
for the west coast.
With few exceptions college ath-j
letlc funds are not built around the
King Midas legend, although some
are quite prosperous and are able
to give their football heroes the
finest passible line of equipment,
tiled shower rooms and the best in
hotel accommodations. Tennessee
may have a checking account which
Is large enough to put a big dent
in Uncle Sam's buried treasure, for
all we know. But the chances are
the Vols have to make their dollars
go Just as far as the fellow who
doesn't have blueprints of where he
is going to get his "coffee and" next
week. That hundred thousand
bucks which will be poured into the
coffers of the Tennesseeans may be
the much needed cash to lift the
mortgage off the homestead. The
nuisance angle, too, enters into the
decision to cut the Vol squad to 35.
An additional 15 or 18 players, who
know when they leave the home
base that they are going Just for
the trip, can get Into more Jams

Beaten, 18-7
Honolulu, Dec. 21 (U.R) The Hea
lani town team of Honolulu defeat
ed Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg's Col
lege of Pacific touring squad last
night, 18 to 7.
Healani gained a 12-pound advan
tage in the first period that the
California team was unable to
match. The Hawallans' third touch
down was made in the third quar
ter. The Bengals' only score came
In the second quarter.
The brilliant ball carrying' of Jud
Atchison, former Texas university
star, gave the Healanls victory over
the College of Pacific football team
before 8000 persons here last night.
Atchison personally scored two
touchdowns for the town team and
passed to Morse for the third. Bill
Thomas, Tiger halfback, was i
moved in the first quarter with
leg injury, which handicapped Pa
cifies offensive.
as well toss a few words Into the
Kenneth Washington controversy,
Those in charge of nominating the
players who will make the East and
West teams for the Shrine football
game in Kezar stadium, San Fran
Cisco, January 1, explained they had
selected the best team possible "aft
er considering all contributing cir
cumstances." No mention was made
of the great negro backfield ace of
UCLA. The coaches had a reason
and no doubt it was a colored one.
Those In charge of intercollegiate
i-ports would do well to recall the
valuable contributions to athletics
the negro race has made. This is
especially true in the Olympic
games where such men as Jesse
Owens have been outstanding. That
Washington Is one of the best
backfield men on the coast is agreed
v (m by all who have seen him per
form. If the West team is to be
made up of the outstanding per
formers of the district west of the
M 1 ssi ss 1 ppl , then why over! ook
Washington? As the Coos Bay
Times points out "inasmuch as the
proceeds go to the Shrine hospital,
where no color line is drawn, it ap
pears to us that the spirit of foot'
ball, and the democracy that rules
the sports, is being severely violated
by (hp west cost's committee."

Signal Oil Ousted
By Bearcats, 51 -41
Signal Oil, an outfit of former college basketball players,
who know all of the tricks of the sport, ran afoul a couple of
strong lunged whistle blowers last night and when the tem
pest was over they found them-
selves on the short end of a 51 to 41
score with the Willamette Bearcats
the victors. Four of the visitors were
banished and one Willamette player
was benched by John Steelhammer
and Max Allen, officials for the
evening. All told 37 personal fguls
were called.
Willamette trailed 34 to 20 at half
time, but came back swinging in the
second frame to take an early lead
and hang onto it. Bob White with
six goals from the floor, and Johnny
Kolb with four two-pointers, proved
to be Coach Maple's best offensive
threats. O'Donnell, Patterson and
Merryman each managed to check
in four basketi before being whist
led off the floor.
The Bearcats will hang up their
uniforms until after the holiday
