Willamette Stows First In Northwest Conference Willamette's bruising Bearcats stowed away the Northwest Football conference chanigiionship this week-end. Undefeated and untied in league play, the Bearcats Avon their fifth straight game Saturday night at Forest Grove, when they nosed out the formidable Pacific university Badgers 6-0. Willamette plays Whiltier this week, and will close Us season November 28 at Walla Walla, strong favorite to trounce the weak Whitman Mis sionaries and wind up the year with a perfect conference rec ord.

The Loggers took over the runncr-up spot from C. of I, over the week-end by blank ing Whitman 13-0 in a home coming game at Tacoma. All of the scoring was done in the first period, with Puget Sound outgaining the visiting Mis sionaries for the remainder of the game. College of Idaho, humbled 26-18 by the University of Ida ho southern branch in a non conference engagement last Sat urday, can regain second pace from CPS this week as both schools finish their league sched ule. Linfield's Wildcats moved up a notch to fourth place as they ended their league season by beating the University of Brit ish Columbia for the Canadian team, which made its debut in American football circles this year. The Thundcrbirds will travel to Forest Grove for a Friday night game against Pacific that will be a conference finale for both teams. The outcome will not affect the standings of either club. Another sport is Just about I! : JUL i ..Mi And this year basketball promises to keep all the local floors Jumping. Frank Shone will have a pro hoop club in town. There Is the city league under the playgrounds association this year; the church league under the YMCA; Willamette university with a varsity, junior varsity and freshman representation; the senior high school with varsity and junior varsity (maybe others); junior high fives, "B" schools, grade schools maybe the kindergartens -Vwill have teams. The space problem is acute as of now. There are more prospective players than floor space. Twenty-two teams have already signed up for the church league. Secretary Jim Dimit is looking for more facilities. Courts are located at the armory (pro league), the YMCA (church league), Willamette (Bearcats), the senior high, Leslie and Parrish floors (for school youngsters and the city league). Few More Courts Then Everybody Plays City fathers need not sift fingers through thinning locks if present construction plans are carried out. Willamette will have an additional gymnasium on the proposed Bush's Pasture lay out. Senior high school officials hope for CPA approval of their next request for a badly needed gym. There is also talk of an extravagant city sports arena, to be erected from private funds. Many financial "angels" will be needed on the latter, but the idea of a sports arena for out-of-school people in Salem is appealing. The top of this column mentioned a waning football season. The colassal year isn't on last breaths as yet, but the end is in sight. Oregon versus Oregon State, UCLA and Southern California these are the most important toppers on this sundae year. Check on this has the 1946 season lived up to promises? The 24-Year-Old College Kids Are Okey Play hasn't been outstanding, as compared with pre-war years. All the blocks tossed haven't been crisp and sharp, nor all the tackles bruising. Reluming veterans aided the cause. There wasn't too much of the "knock yourself out for the old school," but rugged, hard-played football was in order. This side is satis fied with the football year, but, blast me, how to get the results of all the basketball games that will start popping soon?

Although the Cadets' string of 25 consecutive victories ended in the 0-0 tie with the Fighting Irish before 74.008 customer: at Yankee Stadium Saturday, neither side ap peared to have lost prestige in tie crunching battle of lines. Looking ahead to Saturday, there is potential trouble for both of the high-flying leaders who may find it difficult to keep themselves "up" for two weeks in a row. The Army bumps into an aroused Pennsylvania team that saw its dreams of a title blasted by the Princeton upset of a week ago. Coach George Munger's Quakers got back on the beam with a 41-6 romp over a strong Columbia team and are thirsting for revenge for last year's 61-0 humiliation by the Cadets. Notre Dame grapples with Northwestern which will be at tempting to rebound from a sur prising 7-6 upset by Indiana. The stock of both UCLA and Georgia rose several points over the week-end as they protected their perfect unbeaten-untied records with re spective decision over Ore gon and Florida. Neither, however, was in the nature of a romp. Florida gave Georgia plenty of trouble, forcing tiie bowl minded Bulldogs to come from behind in the second half for a 33-14 verdict. UCLA was hard pressed by Oregon. 14-0, a team that took a 43-0 pasting from Southern California a week ago. The Trojans kept in step for their Nov. 23 clash with UCLA that probably will determine the western Rose Bowl representa tive by a 14-0 victory over stub born California. Arkansas scrambled the Southwest situation by subduing Rice, 7 0, thus taking over the conference lead from the Owls, only team that has been able to trim mighty Texas. Major upset of the day was Kansas' 16-13 edge over Okla homa on Paul Turner's field goal in the final minutes, leav ing Missouri,. 21-0 victors over Colorado, the Big Six leader. utner ma.ior surprises were Syracuse's 14-7 score over Cor nell, Virginia's 20-6 edge over Princeton, conquerors of Pcnn; and Texas Aggies' 14-0 margin over Southern Methodist. Navy appeared headed for its worst season in history after bowing to Georgia Tech's strong Engineers. 28-20.
