Si RALPH LUNDVAl.L adds experience and heft to the victory minded College of Pugct Sound Loggers, especially in games with Willamette. Lundvall is a three-year letterman guard, last played in 1942. Skits and Scratches By Fred Zimmerman, Capital Journal Sports Editor And now they're beginning to grumble that Willamette domi nates the field to such an extent that the Bearcat games are not interesting! What a switch in public sentiment between the lime Conch Walter Erickson and his boys came back from San Jose! Then there was a bit ot snickering by adherents of Ihc T" system of offense. Wall specializes in the double wing back, but he's sufficiently grounded in the game to modify his plans if he so desires. Im provement has been shown by the Bearcats in every game this season. ilinl is wnai every rigm minded conch hopes for and works himself and his club to a frazzle to achieve. Naturally, everybody enjoys a hard fought, close contest. One that is decid ed by a long run, a place kick or a well executed pass, in the closing seconds, is just the tick et. And while Willamette show ed its complete mastery of the Coyotes during the sccoiid half, we submit that when the two squads left the field at the end of the second period. Coach Clem Parberry's players were very much in the ball game. They had scored in a convinc ing nuinner and trailed by a single touchdown. Players may become imbued with the idea that they have lit tle to worry about after winning a few ball games, but it's a cinch that few of Ihc coaches ever be come self-satisfied, livery game is approached with the feeling that (he opposition will prove tough. For instance, Unfold held College of Pugct Sound to a I! to 6 deadlock late last week after Willamette had trounced Ihc Wildcats quite handily. "Worst thing thai could have happened to lis," the Bearcat coach said. Although I.

It has started a lot of people is "feared" his hoss might be whipped by a pretty fair country And there have been statements that maybe White Hat Ben isn't with Willamette and couldn't get their minds on the business at hand. Like Willamette, CPS has 1 brand new grid coach this year in Frank W. Patrick, a graduate of Pittsburg '38, who uses the Jock Sutherland system of play. "Pat" as a member of the Pan thers punched across two touch downs against the University of Washington in the 1937 Rose Bowl game. He played two years of professional football and during the war served as a naval lieutenant. Patrick was brickfield coach at the Universty of Minnesota under Dr. George Mauser In 1943 and under Ber nie Bicrman In 1944. His asso ciates in the coaching depart ment arc Joe Retlinger, ex-Pitts-hurgh '41. line coach, and Bill Madden, CPS '46.

There have been Cross-Counfry Aces Shape UP Cross-country track slars at Salem senior high school began to shape up last week as Coach Vern Gilmore sent the squad of 60 through a mile and one-half run, as the prospect of meets with other schools in the area is set for the near future. Ail preparations point for the Friday, November 22, cross-country meet at Port land's Rocky Butte. Around 30 schools are expected to send squads. Hill Military academy will be host to par ticipants.

Yike J-V's Meet Sacred Heart Viking junior varsity foot ballers clap a fourth game start ing gong Tuesday on Leslie field at 8 p.m. when they meet a strong Sacred Heart eleven in an intra-city fuss. Jayvees opened the season with a 6-6 tie on the Chemawa gridiron. Albany's junior' varsity next arrived and the two teams battled to a score less deadlock on Leslie field. The J-V's only win came in a rematch with Chemawa on Leslie. Coach Eldon Mori's men emerged with a 14 to 6 victory. Sacred Heart's well-balanc ed squad is sparked by Quarter back Walt Davey.

PHONE 6126 155 South Liberty 10 a.m. Missouri who knows everybody remarks that maybe Mister Ben race horse named Lucky Draw. too loaded with sportsmanship. The florid-laced trainer takes exception on all counts and did' n't hesitate to say so here at Garden Stale park "The reason we are resting him is simply because he isn't right and probably won't be right the rest of the year," Ben said. The racing charts uphold Jones just about 100 percent If any campaigning thorough bred has run oftener or under heavier loads than Armed he must at the moment be hauling a milk wagon. Armed has been in contin uous training since May of 1945 a period of 18 months. During that time he has gone to the post on 33 occasions. This year alone he has made 18 starts, winning 11 and fin ishing out of the money only once. One of those triumphs was in the Suburban handi cap, graveyard of such Cal umet champs as Whirlaway and Sun Again. There have been snide re marks that may be Calumet is trying to save Armed's reputa tion. "What for? Ben asks in his straightforward manner. "Arm ed is a gelding and the only way we can win with him is by run ning him." In other words, there is no reason to protect Armed's repu tation because he'll never be worth a stud nickel to Calumet. They simply have a great race horse and see absolutely no rea son to ruin him. "The horse has campaigned hard," Ben continued in open admiration for the animal which finally came through for him after many early dis appointments. "Armed is the only horse which has carried 130 pounds this year." It's asking enough to run a horse as hard as Armed uncom plainingly has done. But it adds up to seven more when the gritty thoroughbred always is loaded with top weight and still shows 'em all the way most of the time. It's the type of task which has ruined the late efforts of triple crown winner Assault. The fault lies not with Armed or with plain Ben Jones. It lies with those un reasonable people who de mand on the ground of "sportsmanship" that a real sportsman risk a terribly tired great horse simply be cause they want to sec a race. They don't question the odds but then why should they. The doubters have nothing to lose. White Hat Ben has taken too many lickings on the turf to back out because of such a possi bility. He's only repaying a horse which always has gone all out for him and more pow er to both of them. PGA Tourney Setup Criticized by Golfer Richmond, Va., Oct. 22 P Criticism of the Professional Golf association's tournament setup, under which "the sponsor has no protection whatsoever," came today from another quar ter one of the game's lop play- Dick Mctz of Arkansas Citv, Kans., a veteran of 21 years of PGA competition and the lead ing money winner of 1939, in a statement which he emphasized was "directed at no individual ?J,S, inlefnAf io in time the PGA tournament hu. rcau took inventory." 'may to 10 p.m. Saturday 10 to 4 Wharton Biffs Make a Way For New Duds "Sugar" Eddie Wharton, Ne gro welterweight ring artist, likes to wear fancy clothes and that is one reason why he is kept busy making arena ap pearances, claims his manager, Larry Caputo. Wharton will meet Al Davis of Tacoma in the 10 round main event of the next Veterans of Foreign Wars fight card at the armory the night of October 30. "I have to keep Wharton busy. Not only because he's a great fighter and one of the best prospects in the coun try but because he spends all of his money on clothes," ex plains Caputo. "I have never seen a fighter with so many good clothes." Caputo feels that Wharton has a good chance of becom ing another "Sugar" Ray Rob inson, due to his height, reach and boxing ability. "Then, too, he is a good puncher and just as soon as he gains a lit tle more weight he'll punch a lot harder. He's a faithful trainer, docs plenty of road work and likes the gym fine, but he keeps me broke buying clothes." Two six round bouts and two four rounders will complete the program which will be present ed to the fans at the usual range of prices.
