Newspaper Page Text1 Skits and Scratches By Fred Zimmerman Capital Journal Sports Editor Joe Gordon will report to the i Cleveland Indians next spring wilh the anticipation that the i switch from the Yankees may do him good. He said while In Salem last week that he has no hard feelings in connection with ! the transaction and will give his best to the club that has Bob Feller on its staff o hurlcrs While in Salem he teamed uy ' with Howard Maple in a bit of shop talk fishing tackle, golf ; clubs and the like. Gordon is . proprietor of a hardware store ; in Eugene and will spend the . winter behind the counter of his retail establishment. The 1947 legislature should Bass a law making it Illegal " for an Oregon football team to . venture south of the Tehaachapi Pass. The Webfools and Beavers do right well by themselves around the San Francisco bay . area hut when they venture into the environs of Los Angeles, thev appear to be able to pro vide nothing more than a bit of tackling practice for the Iro 1 .tans and the Bruins. Unques ; tionablv the change from the slow underfooting of most of the fields in the northwest to the lightning fast turf of soulh ' em California played an im ' nortant part in the Wcbfoots' f slaughter at the hands of the :- Trojans Saturday. Well, there's ' no way wc can regulate the weather and if it rains all dur . Ing the month of October, it rains. Perhaps, there may come a time when northern football fields can be encased in plastic. Those blimp bangers near Tilla- f mook are huge affairs, perhaps ; Oregon and Oregon Slate can get an order transferring them '- to their respective fields. . , . That 37 to 0 whitewashing of Astoria high last week, was the . biggest grid score ever rolled up against the Fishermen by the . Vikings '' " Will ''Snooks" Lacey provide , anything like real opposition to Dunne "The Durable" Hoag during their forthcoming ring engagement, November 13? We ' believe he will. Lacey is a 'smooth boxer without too much rof a punch, but Hoag will not .be able to rush him as lie has 'most of his opponcnls. Lacey appeared in good condition last week and that's what counts in . going up against Hoag, who has "so far been able to win his encounters because he can dish -it out for full 10 rounds without "having to coast part of (he time. What wc would like to see is a 'baltlp between "Sugar" Eddie - Wharton and an opponent of fairly equal ability. Wharton is ewe of the best boxers to ap pear In the armory ring in many months. Moreover he has a ' punch thai carries considerable .-authority. . . . While here last 'Wednesday nighi Leo Lomski, lhc man who made ring history at Aberdeen, Wash., asked as sistance in locating Harold "Bud" Van Buren, a young fcl- low whom he credits with bring ,an outstanding prospect. Van Bu ren, a former resident of New- port where he received a bit of instruction from Lomski is said "Jo be in Salem. At any rate the f o m c r "Aberdeen Assassin" would like to have Van Buren communicate with hini at h;s Portland residence, 1732 NW Kearney. Prosperous limes and quan tities of easy money combined to make the first racing season at . Portland Meadows an outstand ing success.

Even before the ballot boxes were opened in the Associated Press weekly poll of sports writers throughout the nation, the outcome was certain. Army and Crisp Weather Bolsters Vikes For Axemen Crisp and clear weather served as a boost for Viking football spirits Monday after noon as workouts continued for the all-important Swcctland field cla;'h with Eugene Axe men Friday night and a search by Salem youth for their first win in the series since 1941. Coach Harold Hauk sent Vi kings through a long workout Monday with special attention given to the defense. Offense minded Axemen have a Big Six reputation for heavy scoring in all games to date. The Eu gene squad is also strong on re serves, and boasts of a fast back field behind a heavy line. No changes in the starting lineup have been made by Coach Hauk. Team spirit is rising for the tray with injuries on the all clear stage. " Master Faces Durable One For Top Bout Snooks Lacey, the "boxing master" and Wayne Hoag dub bed the "durable" because of his ability to keep slugging through 10 rounds, will provide the lop spol entertainment in the next Veterans of Foreign Wars boxing show, scheduled for the armory the night of November 13. Lacey is one of the better boxers on the west coast and has mel such fistic stars as Willie Pep, Phil Terra nova, Johnny Zuarcz and Joey Dohin. Hong, yet to meet defeat in the Salem arena, is a whirl wind for action and depends, to a considerable extent upon his offensive prowess to lake care of the defensive part of the game. He throws more gloves than most men, is fairly easy lo hit but so far, punches have failed lo slow him down. Matchmaker Tex Salkeid is trying to rematch Johnny O'Day of Klamath Falls and Davcy Arndt of Portland for the six round semi-final. O'Day was leading his opponent when he ran into a clip on the chin that dropped him. He got up only lo run into another punch that stopped the show. There will be no advance in prices for the program.

Notre Dame had been awarded another of those landslide voles that kept the two teams in the forefront as the people's choices this fall. Week After Week The principals in football's national championship classic at Yankee Stadium this Satur day have been up there with mo notonous regularity every week but one since this year's poll started. That week the voters put the dark-horse candidate, Texas, over Army and dropped Notre Dame to third place. Penn, lo the surprise of prac tically no one, lost its hold on third place due to the Quak ers' 17-14 upset by Princeton, and skidded to ninth. Penn's former spot at No. 3 was filled by Georgia. Univcisity of California at Los Angeles retained fourth place and Rice, No, 8 last week advanced to No. 5 with Texas moving up a notch lo sixth place. Tennessee went from tenth place to seventh. Georgia Tech went from 16th lo eighth. After Penn at No. 9 came Illinois, up from elev enth last week. Northwestern, sixth la;.; week, nose-dived shar ing position No. 17 with North Carolina which also slipped from the first ten. Based on the usual system of len point.; for a first place vote, nine for a second, eight for a third, and so on, Army piled up 1176 points, 471 less than last week's. Notre Dame's point total of 1140 was 330 under the pre vious count. Southern California, with 68 points, was in 14th position na tionally. No other West Coast team appeared among the top 39 teams. Ug No Play Against Irish West Point, N.Y., Nov. 5 VP) Notre Dame's football players and ils legion of faithful follow ers can breathe a bit more eas ily today if anyone breathes easily during the week before an Army-Notre Dame game with the news that they won't have to face the big fellow Sat urday. The hig fellow, in this ease, isn't linc-husting Doc Blan chard but Herschel (Ug) Fuson, a 220-pound converted linesman who has been oper ating with rather devastating force in the Army backficld this fall. Fuson injured his left shoul der severely in tackling a West Virginia ball carrier last Sat urday and the medical officer, Lt. Herman Bcarvy, said yes terday that "Ug" definitely would nol be able to play against Notre Dame this week end.

Rumor From McPhail's Yank ee Front Office Names Boy Wonder Harris as '47 Manager By Carl Lundquist (United PTfun Sport Wrltfrl New York. Nov. 5 (U.R) Barring a bombshell Boss Larry MacPhail was expected to name Stanley (Bucky) Harris today as 1947 manager of the New York Yankees. MacPhail called a press conference for 1 p.m. (EST) to name his new pilot after letting the baseball world guess for weeks as lo whom it mig ht be. And the guessing was pretty general that Harris, the one candidate who didn't want the job, was going to get it, while Charley (Chuck) Dressen, late of the Brooklyn" Dodgers, would be named as his head coach and number one aide-. Harris, the former "boy won der" of the Washington Sena tors, who won pennants as a player pilot with the Nats in 1024 and 1925, had come to the Yankees last Sept. 9 with the expressed intention of being only an administrative assistant to MacPhail. Only F:xecutivc At the same time MacPhail stated thai "Bucky is not being considered for the post and will work with me strictly in an ex ecutive capacity." Harris, according to leaks from the pipeline, agreed re luctantly to accept the job with the idea of grooming Dressen as his successor. Aft er a season or two at (he helm, it was understood that he would return to the Yan kee front office wilh Dressen taking over as field leader. Both men have had back ground as major league pilots. Harris in addition to his bril liant job of directing the Nals lo pennants in his first two years as a big league manager, piloted them through 1928 be fore going to the Detroit Tigers where he remained from 1929 to 1933. He was with the Bos Ion Red Sox an manager in 1934 then went back to Wash ington for an eight year stretch from 1935 to 1942. Dressen was MacPhail's man ager from 1934 to 1937 when the fiery red head was directing op erations at Cincinnati. Southwest Reports Attendance Raise Dallas, Tex., Ocl. 30 The Southwest conference should register over three-quarters of a million paid admissions for its home football games this season. Already pushing toward half million mark and with 15 games lo go, the conference is certain to break all attendance records. The major reasons have been stronger teams and a general interest upturn with plenty of money and a universal spending mood. Edmundson Slashes Huskies Cage Roster Seattle.
