The Bearcat school is wil ' ling and anxious to keep the 5 great fall sport on its extra-cur-h: ricular program but in order to play football one must have J some opposition. And at this ' writing the Jack of competition J is the peg on which Willamette's ' physical education department r: Is forced to hang it's worrying : cap. Among northwest confer ', ence members, Willamette and Whitman are the only ones who have been assigned naval train " ing programs. Just what Whit " man is contemplating in the way J of football has not been learned " here. College of Pugct Sound has been fishing for a chance to edu- cate a bunch of future officers, " but so far has not been able to get a spoon in the gravy boat, j There is a possibility that the I Loggers may be hooked up with the army, but since the latter a frowns on participation in sports they would probably be out of . the picture In any event. Port- land U, along with other schools, bas lost heavily to the armed services and does not expect to ' put a team on the field. Linfield and Pacific were hard pressed " last fall and most certainly will ; not be in a better position come September. Willamette has the manpower but there is nothing in the na- vy's regulations which would ;'' compel any of the young men 1 to play football. In fact a good . many of them, faced with one of the heaviest scholastic and phys . leal education loads in their young lives, may decide they can get along without gridiron competition. "Hope springs eternal in the human breast" might well be 1 the motto of the Veterans of ' Foreign Wars who will make their debut in the boxing arena " July 30, following inactivity of " several months. The Vets made , money out of the fight game, ", but it is one of the toughest pro- motional schemes this writer has " ever encountered. .. However, the VFW, in John "( Friend, have one of the squarest shooters in the business. We 1. know little about Jack Capri, " (he matchmaker, but feel that he must be on the level, othcr wise Friend would not be asso rt elated with him. Looking back "' over a period of years, we have not been able to recall anyone fj; of John's proteges who has not v battled with all he had every time he entered the ring. This - was true of Tony Kahut, Joe Bonn, Tiny Cooper, Frank Riggl and Joe Kahut. Every time any one of this group climbed ' through the ropes, the cash cus ( tomers felt sure that they were to get their money's worth. " ' An open air show should ap l peal to the majority of fans at " this time of year. Dimout regu ! . lations mean that the perform- ance will have to be concluded . not later than 8:45 p.m., a cir w cumstance which necessitates a i." start of the first preliminary at around 6:30. It might be a pay T Ing venture, both from the fi- nancial standpoint of the Vets ' as well as for the accommoda ' tioin of the fans if arrangements y could be made to provide a bite , of something to eat at the ball park.

Wi There's a tall tombstone in the Norton cemetery which bears the name of Franklin P. Salyer. Nothing strange about that except that Frank Sa Iyer's body has been buried three times. Salyer was slain in Knott county, Ky., and the notorious gunman, Talt Hall, who was later hanged at Wise, was ac cused of the killing. Salyer's body was buried in Kentucky near his home. But Sam Salyer. the man's father, didn't like the fact that his son was buried among his enemies, so he drove a wagon across the mountains, a distance of 75 miles, removed the body and reinterred it on a rolling hill. Several years later, the rail road entered Norton, and in or der to secure desired right-of-way, the graveyard was con demned. Now Frank Salyer'a body occupies a spot in the new gravevard about 500 yards on up the bill. Wednesday, July 21, 1943 Beavers Back At Home Base (Br the Aasoelited Press) Both in the first division for the first time this year, the Port land Beavers and the Seattle Rainiers came home today for Pacific coast baseball league series which will largely deter mine whether the northern teams shall remain in the upper brackets or around the foot of the league. Seattle moved into the, select first division yesterday by vir tue of a 4 to 0 defeat of the fal tering San Diego Padres at the hands of the second place San Francisco Seals. All the rest of the league was idle and the de feat dropped the Padres into fifth place, half a game behind Seattle. Portland remained firmly in third, four games ahead of Seattle and nine be hind the second-place Seals. Today's series will pit sixth- place Hollywood against the Rai niers in Seattle and the seventh place Oakland Acorns against the Beavers in Portland. Sac ramento will open their series in Los Angeles with a double header and the Seals and the Padres will continue in San Francisco. Both northwest games will be twilight affairs. Bob Joyce, San Francisco right-hander, limited the Padres to eight hits and allowed only one man to get as far as third base yesterday as the Seals bat ted in 10 hits and four runs to beat Chet Johnson. The Seals bunched their hits to score two in the second, one in the third and one in the seventh innings. Short score: San Ditto 000 OO0 0000 A 3 Ban Francisco 021 000 lox 4 10 1 Johnson and Salkeld; Joyce and Sprinz. Bivins Named as Title Contender Washington, July 21 (U.R) Jimmy Bivins, Cleveland negro, joins Billy Conn and Melio Bet tina as contenders for Sgt. Joe Louis' heavyweight champion ship in new ratings issued today by the National Boxing associa tion. Bivins renounced claims to the light heavyweight crown and requested the NBA to move him into the unlimited division, President Abe J. Greene ex plained. The new votings show few changes. The lightweight title remains open with another logi cal contender added to the as pirants for the crown. Luther (Slugger) White of Baltimore joined the circle previously oc cupied by Sammy Angott, self retired champion making a comeback; and Bob Montgomery of Philadelphia, recognized in New York and Pennsylvania as champion. Montgomery Wins Over Frank Wills Washington, July 21 U- Lightweight Champion Bob Montgomery of Philadelphia punched out an "effortless" and unanimous decision over Fran kie Wills, District welterweight champion, in a non-title 10 round bout at Griffith stadium last night. Montgomery put Wills on the ropes in the seventh round and then breezed through the final three to win the decision of the referee and two judges. Accord ing to reports, he will meet Frit zie Zivic of Pittsburgh in a title match soon. Night Baseball; Everybody Got the Picture W) All the cameramen (foreground) had the same idea at the same time, and Don Kolloway (center, sliding), Chicago White Sox second baseman, scored in a flash-bulbed blaze of glory in the second inning of the night game with the Detroit Tigers at Chicago. Paul Richards (9), Detroit catcher, took the throw-in. Cal Hubbard (sec ond from left) is the umpire and an unidentified Chicago player is at far left. Chicago won, 7-4. ' Frankie Gustine, versanle young star of the Pittsburgh Pirates, appears to be headed for his best year in the majors. He has been hitting above .300 while playing around the in field. Chicago Golf Tourney Grows By Charles Dunkley Chicago, July 21 (Pi Golf on a tremendous scale three tour naments rolled Into one was presented with theatrical setting in the Tarn O'Shanter extrava ganza today. The tournament became the nation's biggest golf show of the year when the professionals and women joined the amateur ensemble which has held the stage since Monday, There were 200 swingers in action 105 professionals, 64 amateurs and 31 women. While the surviving 64 quali fiers in the all-American ama teur were sweeping through their first day of match play, the pros battled for 71 places in the $10,000 all-American open and the women played for 18 positions in their tournament both of which start tomorrow at 72 holes of medal play. Blond Byron Nelson of Tole do, twice winner of the Tarn op en, was rated as a top-heavy favorite to repeat while Miss Patty Berg, famed freckle-faced red head of Minneapolis, and Miss Betty Hicks of Long Beach, Calif., were favored to dominate the women's tournament. Due to the list of pros ex empted from playing a qualify ing round today, none of the big guns in the pro ranks unsacked their shots other than in prac tice rounds. This situation gave the amateurs and the women the spotlight in today's play. Little Directs Columbia Lions New York, July 21 VP) It may be the middle of summer and the height of the baseball season, but on the campus of Columbia university football talk has started. Talk is used advisedly. Lou Little, the Lions' famous football mentor, returned yes terday from Cape Cod, where he had been recuperating from a throat operation, and in shirt sleeves directed the workout of a squad of 50 gridiron can didates. After weeks of writ ing notes in order to rest his ailing vocal chords, Little has regained the use of his voice and brother, that means conversa tion. Albina Hellships Beat Grant, 14-1 Portland, July 21 m The Al bina Little Hellships baseball team defeated Grant 14-1, and captured the Junior Legion base ball championship.

Armstrong and Training for Saturday Bout By Ben Cook Los Angeles, July 21 U.R Henry Armstrong and Willie Jie today settled down for the last two days of in-the-ring training for their scheduled 10-round rematch Saturday afternoon in the Majors Head Down Stretch By Judson Bailey fAasoclated Press Sports columnist) The major leagues are heading into the home stretch today with plenty of opportunity as well as determination to shuffle the standings before the end of the season. There has been comparatively little action on the field since the two big leagues took time out ten days ago for the all-star show, but this breathing spell has been used by many of the clubs to gird themselves for the grind ahead. More player swaps have been made in the last week than in any similar period since the 1942 campaign closed. The Brooklyn Dodgers have under gone a house-cleaning that has sent Pitcher Bobo Newsom to the St. Louis Browns, Outfielder Joe Medwick to the New York Giants and Catcher Dee Moore to the Philadelphia Phillies. Many other clubs, even the world champion St. Louis Car dinals, have dipped into the farm systems for additional strength and some more moves of this character probably will be completed before the week is over. How all the changes will add up in the standings remains to be seen, but both the Browns and Giants appear to be streng thening and hope to rise. Altogether, 11 games are on tap today and tonight with the eastern clubs of the National league heading into the west and the western clubs of the Ameri can league invading the east. The Phillies and Pirates beat their rivals to the draw with a game at Pittsburgh last night which the Buccaneers captured 1-0 for Truett (Rip) Sewell's 14th victory against two defeats. His five-hit hurling was matched by Richard (Kewpie) Barrett of the Phillies, but the Pirates bunched three of their singles for the only run of the game in the second inning. Ross Beaten by Bulldog Jackson Tony Ross, who claims the Pacific coast championship in his weight division, lost two out of three falls to Bulldog Jack son in the main event of Tues day night's wrestling exhibition at the armory. Jackson employ ed his favorite stomper hold to take the deciding fall. Mel Peters and Tex Hager went to a draw in one of the preliminaries, while Milt Olson took two straight tumbles from Bill McCuin after the latter had won the first. Feature attraction of next Tuesday night's performance will be the "French Angel," the heavyweight wrestler. Too Many Strokes, Joe Out of Running Chicago, July 21 W) Missing from the list of 64 qualifiers for the all-American amateur cham pionship in Tarn O'Shanter's mammoth golf show today was Srgt. Joe Louis of the United States army. Louis, the heavyweight box ing champion, took 86 swings at the little white ball yesterday for a 36-hole total of 173 and failed to get into the select list. However, he will continue to play exhibition golf daily until the tournament winds up next Sunday. Holland's fishing fleet is us ing wood to save liquid fuel. Joyce Wind Up outdoor Gilmore stadium. Arm strong, blaming his previous de- feat at the hands of the Gary, Ind., lightweight on lingering effects of a then-recent tonsil lectomy, is confident he'll avenge the loss and continue his already-sensational comeback campaign that has seen him en ter the ring 23 times in little more than a year. Joyce, banking on greater youth to wear down his aging foe. is equally sure of victory. The "experts," bet-layers, and just-plain-fans are not so sure about the outcome and are hes itant about picking a favu avate lBfS's for the fight, billed outstanding coast prizefight and expected to draw a near capac ity crowd to the 22,500-seat are- Pre-fight training carried on amid verbal wrangling by man agers George Moore and George Trafton saw the fighters situ ated like this today: Armstrong had moved to town to put the final polish on his timing in daily sparring sessions after ending several days' stay on a Victorville dude ranch last week-end. Joyce was satisfied to stick with the training schedule and sparring partners he's had in Glendale since starting his heavy-duty training. He balked at moving to the city to wind up his workouts and stayed at the Ar ena Gardens to bring himself to starting-time pitch. 4) Both opponents will finish their sparring sessions Thursday, Albany Junior Play Wisco Nine Albany Those who haven'l had a chance to see Cummingi Movers, Albany Legion junioi baseball entry, in action during their past games, can have a good look Thursday night on Central field, with the much re spected nine of the Portland Le gion league making an appear ance, it was announced by Bill Wilkinson, manager and coach. The Movers will attempt to make it two in a row over Port land teams, having already dis posed of Albina Sunday, 12-7. Wisco is coached by Wade Williams. At present they are co-leaders in the second gVf and the experts figure theriWo be the second Portland entry in the state play-offs due the 7th and 8th of August. The Movers, undefeated in Le gion play and district winners, are anxious for this game as it will give them an idea of the team quality they'll face in the play-offs this year.
