O Beau Jack Listed for Place in Tourney By Hugh Fullerton, Jr. New York. Nov. 21 VP) The lightweight title tournament to determine a successor lor Sammy Angott probably will start at ,the Garden, Dec. 18, with Beau Jack vs. Tippy Larkin and Cleo " Shans'vs. Chester Rico. . . Chris- Sluts and Scratches Bf fred Zimmerman Capital Journal BporU Editor Although the physical fitness program introduced at Willam ette university, in accordance 1 1 with the wishes of those respon sible for providing man power for the various branches of the armed forces, has been in effect but a few weeks, Coach Spec , Keene reports he does not have - to. look through a microscope to glimpse the beneficial results. The young men have entered in to the program wholeheartedly and are getting a bit of fun out of.lt as well as better health. Spec Is thoroughly con vinced of the worth of the physical fitness program, especially those parts which J are based on body contact. There Is a natural hesitancy ti on the part of many young men to follow through when first learning to put on a block or make a tackle In football. "But gradually they get the feel of the ' '. thing, really get to enjoy a rough and tough contest," the coach pointed out. "That : very essential part of a game might mean the difer . ence between life and death when one of the boys faces a foe on the battle field." ' ' Judging by the manner in which the Bearcats have been : tearing into each other as they prepare for Whitman Thanks giving day on Sweetland field, they really have absorbed the spirit of the times. The final rough session was pulled off ; Friday afternoon. The remain L.der of the practice tilts will be " punch pulling affairs in the hope that the entire squad will - be at full strength for the Mis- (ionaries. Putting the first string backfield behind the sec una sbiuiK luiwiuus auu vilc versa brought some stirring ac tion during the week. Although the men at the helm in the war effort have given their blessing on football and kindred sports, there is no as surance that the athletic pro grams of college and university -will not be made impossible next fall through the difficul ties of transportation .and the lack of man power. Travel troubles could be offset to some extent through programs which - called for football games on A-home 'and home basis, similar to that employed in basketball and baseball. But If the army and the navy is to. take all of the young men from 18 on up, there will be no occasion to worry concerning availability of space on train and bus. There won't - be anybody to transport. Defeat of Leo Turner and Keller Wagner in Portland last night is a tough break for the fight game in Portland. The two scrappers were real attrac tions and had built up a strong following, but apparently took In too much territory when they included California and Kansas in . their ambitious program Q, Perhaps the Portland promoters can find other boys with local color. If they cannot the gate receipts will suffer, unless they can persuade Costello Cruz, the Californian who dropped Tur ner last night, to remain in the northwest . And whoever heard of a sun-baked Calif ornain be- ing attracted to the rains and mists of our northwest country. Across the continent a chap named Willie Pep end ed the reign of Chalky Wright as the world's feath - erwelght champion. And what could be more appro priate Mian a youngster with such a name as Pep should defeat an oldster like Chalky Wright? O The. end of a dreary football season for the hapless Salem Vikings is booked for next Thursday at Everett, Wash. The kids have not won a gridiron contest during the fall, but in spite of their being kicked around, they have been able to keep up their spirits. Off hand one would not think it possible that a high school the size of the one in Salem could produce such a disastrous season. But no coach can win games if the big fellows decline to take an Interest. Navy Officer Home ! Gervais Mrs. Perry Seely left for Bremerton, Wash. where she will visit with her son, Howard Seely and family a few days. Seely is an en- igri in the navy and this is his first trip to the states In more than a year. tie Kast, daughter of Bud, the Dartmout captain, won't get football to add to her collection after today's Columbia game. No matter who wins, the ball will go to the highesj bidder in the weekly war bond auction. Little but powerful West Vir ginia (pop. 3500) will have two boys on the college all-star bas ketball squad that plays the Osh kosh, Wis., pros at Chicago next week. Rudy Baric of Benwood and Roger (Shorty) . Hicks of Moundsville, both chosen for the all-stars, live eight miles apart, played on opposing high school teams, teamed together at West Virginia U. and now are co- coaches of the Mountaineer court squad since Coach Dyke Raese has gone into the navy. Help, Help! Not knowing the answers, we will pass along these questions from Hank Wolfe of the 'Rich mond (Va.) News Leader as re ceived: (1) St. Christopher's school of Richmond had defeated Benedictine high in football 15 years in succession. Do you have a longer consecutive winning streak to offer? (2) Quarterback Ray Marshall of John Marshall high (a relative, hey?) ran 102 yards with an intercepted pass last week. Is or isn't it the long est jaunt of the season? Today's Guest Star Jerry Mitchell, New York Post: "That reformed character, Lippy. Durocher, will now lead the congregation in singing, Praise the Lord and Play only Chess and Checkers. Trappers Shatter Pelicans' Hopes Klamath Falls, Ore., Nov, 21 VP) Klamath Falls hopes of a northwest high school football championship were shattered last night by fleet Bert .Allfnger and ten Vancouver, Wash., teammates, 20 to 8. Allinger sifted through Kla math defenses repeatedly, kept his team in Pelicans' territory most of the game. The winners scored in the first four minutes, recovering a fumble near the goal line and moving to a touchdown with L. Wellman plunging over. Wellman went over again in the third period and Grant ran 17 yards for a final score in the fourth. The Pelicans, who claim the Oregon title, made their lone tally in the final period, Short- man passed to McCay, who ran 55 yards to the Vancouver ten Shortman plunged over from the one a few plays later. Vancouver rolled up 19 first downs to Klamath's four. Indians Capture Big Nine Crown Chemawa The Chemawa In dians won a Big 9 football cham pionship Friday afternoon when they handed Canby a 48 to 0 drubbing. The redskins got their offensive under way after being held scoreless during the first period by a fighting Canby club. The Indians who went through the season without a single defeat, rolled up seven touchdowns against Canby and annexed six points by conver sions. Army Post Office Is Busy Place At this time of the year the army post office serving overseas mail from San Francisco, as with others, is pretty well loaded down with Christ mas gifts.

Saiem Ore. m tUMnnm, gpru tail Saturday, November 21, 1942 Newberg Issues Challenge to KF Pelicans By Matt Kramer (Asioolnted Press stiff Wrlterl Klamath Falls fell last (Fri day) night In its bid for north west football supremacy, losing to Vancouver, Wash., high school, 20-6. But the loss left the Pelicans claim to the Oregon high school title unsullied, for Klamath has not been defeated by another team In this state, and still left open the possibility of another post-season game. The Pelicans undoubtedly will drop their plans for another out-of-state game, but now they face a challenger in Oregon. Little Newberg, undefeated in two years, downed West Linn, 6-0, yesterday to win the Tualatin-Yamhill League title, and promptly dared the Pelicans to meet them. Newberg has one more game on its schedule, a Thanksgiving day contest with Sherwood, but should encounter little trouble. No name league teams found the going tough yesterday. The league leader, Eugene, fell be fore a non-league team, unbeat en but once-tied Marshfield 13-0, and Salem journeyed to Medford to take a 33-12 walloping. In a league encounter Milwaukie drubbed Corvallis, 20-0. In Portland Franklin high as sured itself of at least a tie for the title, defeating Commerce, 34-0. Jefferson, the only team with a chance to tie Franklin, will meet Grant in the final game Thanksgiving day. Turner Stopped By Cruz in 2nd Portland, Nov. 21 (P) An overhand right earned Costello Cruz, 157, Santa Barbara, Calif., a two-round victory over Leo Turner, 155, Portland, in a re match here last night. The punch put Turner down for a count of nine, and left the Portland negro dazed. Three times more he went down for nine-counts in the, round, and the fourth time Referee Tom Louttit stopped the bout. In the semi-final Keller Wag ner, 186, Salem, was outclassed by Ernie Nordman, i92, Good land, Kas. Wagner showed ag gressiveness in the first round but ran into a knockout punch in the second heat.

Whirlaway Will Be Racing All Next Year Trainer Ben Jones announced at Miami, Fla., that Whirlaway; now at Hialeah Park, 'winner of more money than any horse in racing history, will be running all next year.

Ver non, Bob and Larry sailed to gether from San Francisco last November. ; Pep Succeeds Chalky Wright By Sid Feder New York, Nov. 21 (IP) No one did a hand-stand in Madi son Square Garden's ring, but Willie Pep succeeded Chalky Wright on the world feather weight throne today strictly "on his head." It was simply by fighting Wright the only way the aging Los Angeles negro can be beaten by using his head all the way that the Pep kid is the new boss of the 127-pound-ers today. Willie is a 20-year-old ex- bootblack out of Hartford, who admits he hasn't been around long enough to have read the entire book about the beak- busting business. So Willie calls calls his manager, Lou Viscusl "Mr. Brains" at all times, and it was only by the battle plan Lou drew up that the Hartford jumping-Jack brought the bau ble back to Connecticut. About the only weapon he used, with the exception of a dozen or so right hands that he let go (prob ably by accident) through the entire 15 pounds, was a half- punch, half-push left jab that bounced off Chalky's face as if it owned it. He "stuck" with his jab from start to finish, and he moved so much and so often that some folks thought he had borrowed the bicycle on which Bob Pas tor pedalled to escape Joe Louis for 10 rounds a few years back. It all proved highly entertain ing to the crowd of 19,521 who tossed $71,868.70 into Mike Jacobs' money boxes. Mudcafs Defeat Piledrivers, 6-0 Captain Harold Marcum scor ed a touchdown in the first period to give his Mudcat intra mural football eleven a six to nothing win over the Piledrivers Friday afternoon on Olinger field.

Punting on both sides was of the unusual order during the contest. St. Johns Welders In Hockey League Portland, Nov. 21 (U.P.)

Salem Big Time Track Meets Depend on Runners By Jack Cuddy New York, Nov. 21 U.R The National Amateur Athletic union will continue to stage big-time track meets as long as suf ficient talent is available, Executive Secretary Dan Ferris disclosed today. Ferris explained, "These meets are important, not as mere spectacles, but as stimulants to the youngesters of the nation particularly high school boys to participate in competitive athlet ics, despite the natural distrac tions of the war. "Reports to our organization from various service headquart ers show that track and field men are among the best conditioned at the physical examinations and that they develop into excellent servicemen. In this connection, we should not forget that the youngsters of today may be the fighters of tomorrow." Accordingly, Ferris continued, the A.A.U. has arranged its usual schedule of meets for the indoor season, and the annual conven tion at Chicago December 11-13, probably will map another nor mal program of outdoor compe titions for spring and summer. So much top-flight talent al ready has been absorbed by the services, Ferris expects no new track and field records for the remainder of the war. But he emhpsaized, "Competition will continue to be keen in the var ious events." The major indoor meets begin February 6, when the Millrose games are staged at Madison Square Garden. Pheasant Pens To Be Dismanteled Lebanon Decision to tear down the holding pens sponsor ed by the Santiam Fish and Game association on south Sec ond street in Lebanon was made at a meeting of the organization this week. The reason is that the state game commission in tends to put the China pheas ants on bird reservation Instead of keeping them in holding pens. Report at the meeting, held at the Lebanon hotel, revealed that only three and a half per cent of the birds in the local pens were lost this year. Report from the Clear Lake committee revealed there were over 4,000 fish caught at the lake this summer. Financially the association renorted verv satisfactory returns from the concessions at the lake. Receipts were about equal to that of the year before. The next meeting, Dec. 9, will be held in Albany, with the an nual banquet and election of officers scheduled at that time. Farris Named Linn Bond Sale Chief Albany H. E. Farris, sales manager of the Mountain States Power company, has been no tified by Ray Conway, assist ant state war bond sales direc tor, that he has been named chairman of the Linn county war bond committee to succeed Charles Childs, who resigned the post because of his being en gaged in war work in Salem, v Farris stated he will announce his committee personnel soon and that he hopes to put Linn county employes over the top In the 10 per cent payroll deduc tions in the purchase of war bonds. Linn county has been behind in this respect and Far ris is anxious to bring this com munity into line. Chapter Meets Monday Woodburn Evergreen Chap ter No. 41, Order of the East em Star, will honor the past matrons at the next regular meeting which will be held Monday night at the Masonic Temple. New members by af filiation will also be received. Refreshments wil be served by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Proctor, Lou Jane Cornwell and Rose Magnuson.

Or. ft Vikings Drop Eighth Tilt to Medford, 33-12 If one were to eliminate the first half the football game be tween Salem and Medford, play ed on the Pearpickers' gridiron last night, the contest would would have been a pretty even affair. Unfortunately for the Vikings, both halves count in the final score and as a result they dropped their eighth con secutive game of the season, 33 to 12. Medford scored three touchdowns in the first half -one in the initial period and two in the second, while hold ing Salem away from the goal line. This gave the winners a 20 to 0 margin at the Intermis sion. In the second half each side scored two touchdowns, with Medford making one conversion to none for the Vikings. Ran som and Garland carried the ball on the plunges that gave Salem their touchdowns one in the third and another in the fourth periods. Medford tallied early In the first period and had the situa tion well under control through the balance of the first half. After the winners had annexed their fourth score of the evening In the third quarter, the Vik ings rallied for their first real offensive sprint. They took over on the Medford 38 from which point off-tackle and cen ter smashes soved the Pearpick ers back to their two-yard stripe where Ransom scored on a cut back play. Gordy McMorrls' pass inter ception on the Medford 22 start ed the Vlks on their second touchdown push. With a minute remaining in the ball game Owen Garland crashed over from the three-yard stripe. Medford collected 13 first downs to 10 for Salem. The Viks will complete their season with a Thanksgiving day in Everett next Thursday after noon.
