Skits and
Scratches
By Fred Zimmerman
Capital Journal Sports Editor
Getting whipped by Bend on
the Lava Bear lield is no new
experience for Salem football
clubs in fact, one might say it
has become a habit. The Viks
have had their share of wins
over the Central Oregon grid
ders on this side of the moun
tains, but if our records are cor
rect, the Salem squad has yet to
acquire a victory from the Lava
Bears on the latter's own lot.
A 7 to 7 tie in 1940 was the
closest the Viks have come to
a victory. Hollis Huntington,
who mentored the red and black
for several seasons, recalls a
game played in Bend where the
' Vikings turned in a total of 18
first downs against none for the
Lava Bears, yet Bend won the
ball game, 7 to 12. A couple
of well executed passes and the
, contest was sewed up. "What
a nightmare!" Holly recalls.
"We marched up and down that
field repeatedly, had the edge
all of the time, and still we
. came out on the short end of the
score."
Over at Corvallis, Percy
Locey, Oregon State's director
' of athletics, is laying in a good
dlpply of aspirin tablets and it
looks like he will need all the
headache reducing pellets he
can locate by November 23,
when the Beavers and Webfoots
from up Eugene way meet In
the 1946 battle of the little civil
war. Ten thousand applications
(or tickets for the homecoming
game against Oregon have been
received to date. And should
the combined student bodies of
Oregon and Oregon State all
decide they would like to be
cut in on the performance that
would mean approximately 13,
000 more. Since Bell field can
seat about 21,000 by using ev
ery possible nook and cranny
of the place, there is no need
to get out a slide rule to deter
mine that a few thousand would
be spectators will be left out
in the cold when the boys get
together. Trying to please the
old grads, the politicians and
the thousands of "friends" of
Oregon State will take the wis
dom of a Solomon.
"The greatest aggregation of
professional baseball players
ever assembled will appear at
the Lucky Beaver stadium at 2
o'clock Sunday," writes Bill
Garbarino of the Portland base
ball club. And a perusal of the
lineup indicates that Bill is not
exaggerating in any respect.
The squad is headed by Bob
J&ller, whose record with the
Cleveland Indians this year was
26 wins and 15 defeats and the
acquisition of a strikeout re
cord of 348. Playing under the
Feller banner are such diamond
stars as Stan Musial, St. Louis
Cards: Charlie Keller, New
York Yankee outfielder who
clouted 30 homer." this season;
Mickey Vernon, Washington
first sacker with a batting av
erage of .353; Spud Chandler,
Yank pitcher (20 wins and 8
losses); Phil Rizzuto, Yank
shortstop; Johnny Sain, who
won 20 and lost 14 while pitch
ing for Boston. Opposition for
Feller's all stars will be pro
vided by Earl Mack's "League
of Nations" Bob Swift, Jimmy
Outlaw and Roger Cramer of
the Tigers; Mark Christman, Al
Zarilla, D e n n n y Galehouse,
Browns; Ralph Kress, Giants;
Gene Handley, Phils: Lou
Stringer, Cubs; Jesse "lores,
Athletics, and Allie Reynolds,
Indians. '
The all slars started their
current 27-day barnstorming
tour in Chicago and subsequent
ly attracted 148.000 fans, with
approximately half of their
scheduled games played. Many
of their contests have been with
Satchel Paige and is Negro aces.
They drew more than 21,000 at
Comiskcy park in Chicago and
had a banner turnout at Yankee
.sitedium of more than 27,000.

Versatile Cats Nip
Idaho by Air
By Fred Zimmerman
(Capital Journal Sports Editor
Three Northwest conference wins in a row and then come the
Loggers from the College of Pugct Sound.
Coach Walter Erickson's Willamette Bearcats set Hie stage for
a titular championship struggle with the Loggers Oct. 2G when
they displayed versatility heretofore unsuspected to down the
College of Idaho Coyotes 27 to .T
7 on Sweetland field Friday
night. The contest will feature
Willamette's annual homecom
ing program and a capacity
crowd is assured.
It was no weakling club that
Coach Clem Parberry put on
the field against the Bearcats.
To be honest about it, few Wil
lamette fans felt very easy over
the situation at half time al
though the 'Cats were leading
at that juncture 14 to 7. But
the manner in which the Coy
otes scored their touchdown
midway in the second period aft
er intercepting a pass, seemed
to indicate the winner had not
been determined up to that
point.
After the intermission,
however, Coach Erickson's
boys came back to completely
dominate the picture, taking
the kickoff on their own 45
and in a scries of 10 plays, all
on the ground, punched over
their third touchdown. That
was the tipoff and from there
on out the Idahoans didn't
muster sufficient offensive
strength to cross the midfield
stripe.
Unable to gain within any
thing like consistency on the
ground at the outset of the
game, Willamette turned to the
air with John Slanchik doing
the pitching. A pass to Bill
Reder and a lateral to Howard
Lorenz was good for a first down
on the Coyote 40. Then drift
ing back past the center stripe,
Slancik again let go and Marv
Goodman, getting behind the de
fense, grabbed the ball on the
10 and went the rest of the way.
Idaho's attempt to go through
the air backfired almost imme
diately when Lorenz intercept
ed near midfield. Forced to
punt, Willamette recovered on
the Idaho 11 and on fourth
down, Bobby Douglas shot a
spot pass to Larry McKcel over
the middle. McKcel was in the
end zone ?t the time.
The Coyotes stopped a
drive on their own three in
the fourth period but the
'Cats came back with a rush
after taking the ensuing punt
on the Idaho 25. Slanchik
lost a couple of yards and a
pass went astray. A five yard
penalty for two many times
out put the ball on the 20
and the West Virginian tossed

pleasing performance and bnc
of the best plays of the eve

touchdown conversions. Bill
was on the bench when the

and his replacement topped the
ball on his effort. Incidentally
Reder was all over the place,

The team as a whole func

their third touchdown drive
when Larry McKcel and How
