Six Bearcats Facing Strong Northwest Skits and Scratches By Fred Zimmerman Capital Journal Sports Editor Not In years lias a football con test set the towtues awaggtng like the Willamette-Marine battle of last week. Those new offensive maneu vers of Spec Keene have done more to revive Interest in rootball in these parts than any occurrence of recent years. In view of the reputed strength of College of Puget Sound, there should not a single vacant seat In the stands around Sweetland field next Saturday night. It's Willamette's homecoming, hut that will not prevent the Loggers from making It a sad af fair for the old grads and the present crop of Bearcat followers If It's In their power to turn the trick. Added incentive to wallop Keene's club will be the memory of what happened at Tacoma last year when Willamette smacked CPS 42 to 6. Beatings nf that nature rankle and the Loggers will head Into Salem next Saturday with the sole ob jective of securing revenge. The Marine-Willamette game was an example of the disservice scouts sometimes perform. Leatherneck observers remained In the northwest following the game with Oregon and a number of them sat In the crow's nest atop Multnomah stadium when Willamette engaged Portland U. Af- ter watching the 'Cabs turn In an Impotent offensive game, the scouts returned to San Diego and report ed to Col. Hall: "You have nothing to worry about Insofar as Wlllam ette Is. concerned." The Marine coach didn't pass this word along to his men, but the Information un doubtedly had Its effect In the dir ectional force. Three home football games this week: Leslie vs. Parrlsh, Thursday night; Salem vs. Chemawa Friday night and then the climax Willam ette against College of Puget Sound. ... It looks hopeless for Leslie tigalnst the Junior rivals of North Capitol street. Coach Tom Drynan has a big team which drives hard. They could be suckered but Loren Mort, new Leslie monitor, has bunch of green kids who will be ex tremely busy learning their funda- mentals and will have little chance to absorb fancy maneuvers. A little bit of truth concerning the prize ring Is revealed in an il luminating article by Jack Kearns In n recent Issue of "Look." Kearns admits that Louis Angel Firpo, the "wild bull of the Pampas," had Dempsey "licked with his first punch and would have won the title had lie not been paralyzed with fear. As a result of one of Pirpo's blows, Jack was out of the ring at least 20 seconds and should have been disqualified. He broke every rule In tile book agAinst Firpo. He did ev erything but bite him, and probably the only reason he didn't do that was that Jack never liked Argen tine beef." Concerning the Georgea Car pentler pre-flght setup, Kcnma says: "It is rumored the 'Orchid Alan' was breaking his sparring partners' Jaws during seeret training. The real reason for the secret training was that had the ring critics teen him train, they'd have laughed the fight out of existence." Discussing present-day boxing, Kearns comments: "With few ex ceptions you could take all the brains In the fight racket today, put 'em In a thimble, and still have plenty 01 room left for a good-sized thumb.1 Silverton Plans Armistice Game Silverton Harold Davis, princi pal of the senior high school, and V.

Logger Crew To Show Here Saturday Eve Coach Spec Keene and his Wil lamette university gridsters are still searching for their first win of the 1940 season. Next Saturday night they hope to find It with the College of Puget Sound providing the guld lng light. It wlU be Willamette's homecoming and in view of the Bearcats' newly found offensive strength, the old grads should get both eyes full of first class gridiron maneuvers during the two hours on the sidelines. The Bearcats took the hard way to become seasoned this year. They engaged three of the toughest inde pendent clubs along the coast and lost to all three. However, they have come a long way since they lost to the Portland Pilots at the outset of the season. Against the San Diego . Marines Friday night their performance was Just about letter perfect. Their ability to take to the air lanes or the ground with equal facility against a ball club studded with former university stars was a revelation even to the most rabid Willamette admirer. The Loggers' 21 to 0 defeat of Whitman should be sufficient warn lng that College of Puget Sound has a ball club this season. Willamette has one, too, and the meeting of the pair on Sweetland field next Satur day night should result In a new high In athletic exhibitions. Badgers Check In First Win (By tht Associated Press) Pacific university, Northwest con ference defending tllleholder, chalk ed up its first conference victory Saturday night as the Badgers up set Llnfleld colleges homecoming festivities In McMinnville by de feating the Tigers 13-2. Halfback Len Gilman passed to Gipe for Pacific's first touchdown In the first period and Risk drove 16 yards through the center of the line for the Badgers second Just before half time. The triumph didn't alter the con ference standings as the league leading Puget Sound Loggers chalk cd up a smashing 21-0 victory over the Whitman college Missionaries Friday night. Thesef. were the only conference games scheduled lost week-end. The Willamette Bearcats, who have yet to meet a conference foe, were de feated by the San Diego Marine 7-6 Friday night while the College of Idaho was dropping a 19-13 deci sion to the University of Idaho's southern branch. Silverton Beaten But Looks Good Silverton Although Ken Hewitt. coach, and his trusty eleven from the senior high came home with a defeat of 19 to 7 at the hands of the Astoria team, none Is discour age for the local boys did some grand playing regardless of scores. The Silverton group of IS boys, nccompanied by Coach Hewitt, Ray Goatcs and Harold Davis, principal of the senior high school, made the trip to Astoria and suffered a bad gome start when Astoria made two quick touchdowns In the first half. Silverton out-played the fishermen In the second half and felt down and out when an Inadvertent fum ble from their star player lost a touchdown that would have scored the game. Sllverton's points were made In the last half on ft touchdown from a pass to Burr from Hagedorn. Ha gedorn came home with individual playing honors and Malen was voted Astoria's best for the evening.

Distributor w am v ,mftn jr Conference Gridmen Stanford Has Trojans for Next Hurdle By Russell Ncwiand San Francisco, Oct. 21 WP Pig skin preview and review: The football capital of the far west shifts to Palo Alto this Saturday where Stanford's undefeated team aces Southern California's also un- beaten but twice tied eleven in the week's most Important coast confer ence game. For that matter, the "capital" will be located wherever Stanford plays due to the quirks of schedule making and so long as Its record remains unblemished. If Stanford hurdles Southern California its next opponent will be the University of California at Los Angeles on the latter's field. The following week will bring Washing ton, like Stanord now undefeated and untied, to the Palo Alta battle ground. The Washington-Stanford set-to now looms as the classic which will determine the Rose Bowl's western representative. Washington meets California this week-end. then skips a week to prepare for Stanford, Those who rooted vainly for Stan ford to win a conference contest last year are tooting loudly behind a victorious combination this season. The second league triumph and the fourth win of the schedule was cele brated last week-end, a 26-14 set back to Washington State. SMffer competition is forecast from Southern California. Compar ative scores, not always reliable, fa vor Stanford. The latter walloped WSC by two touchdowns whereos USC was lucky to get a 14-14 tie with the same team. Each won from Oregon, 13-0. Washington, the pre-season cham pionship selection, wrote an import ant and Impressive win into its rec ord by sidetracking Oregon State, 19-0, last week. On Its own field at Seattle it will be an odds on choice to take California in stride Saturday, For its part, California, after los lng to Washington State by a field goal the week before, defeated U.C L.A. by the same method lost Satur day. The score was 9-7. Oregon State and U.C.L.A. pound each other at Los Angeles. Despite four successive defeats and the fact that O.S.C. held Southern Califor nia to a scoreless tie, our vote goes to U.CX.A. to collect on this one, especially if halfback Jackie Robin son is in playing condition. The Bruins at least are willing to gamble on forward passes. St. Mary's Trims Loyola, 18 to 7 Los Angeles, Oct. 21 IIP) -The pow erful St. Mary's football team of San Francisco swamped Loyola uni versity 18 to 7 here yesterday, scor- ring twice in the first period and once m the fourth.
