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

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.

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.
