Skits and Scratches By Fred Zimmerman Capital Journal Sports Editor UCLA has a good ball club, one that can conceivably make a good showing if they are elect ed to take over the job of rep resenting the west coast in next January first's Rose Bowl con test. But, if their performance against the Webfools on a slow Multnomah field Saturday is a sample of what they have been doing this season, then we would not place the stamp of greatness upon them. True, one cannot laugh off those lopsided defeats of Washington, Oregon Slate and St. Mary's. But against this show of strength, must be slacked Oregon's ability to play the Bruins virtually on even terms throughout the first half. We are not intimating that the Wcbfoots are helpless in the game of football, but their trouncing by the Trojans a week ago indicates they are not top caiibre either. There is a grow ing possibility that the Trojans may upset the Bruin applecart when the rivals get together in the LA coliseum the afternoon of November 23. A bouquet for Waller Erick- son, who, in his first year as Willamette's head coach, has ii'on the Northwest conference ' football championship. . But that doesn't mean the Bearcats should ease up and permit Coach Nig Borleske's Whitman missionaries to bowl them over in their annual turkey day en gagement at Walla Walla Nov. 28. And that man Borleske is just the fellow who would give ' his shirt if he could finish the season with a win over the Wi llamette squad. Although Coach Erickson inherited an excellent group of athletes from the reign of Spec Keenc, nevertheless, virtually all of them had been out of the game for at least three years due to the war Then, they had to master the double wing type of offense which calls for considerable ball handling. No small task In itself. There were a few !' doubters among the alumni when President G. Herbert Smith announced Walt's selec 1 tion as a successor to Spec. Like i old grads from similar inslitll i tions, they thought a big name coach should be considered. We 1 believe Coach Erickson has jus 1 tified the confidence placed in him and that this year's title is .! not the last one that will be added to Willamette's trophy case during his regime. Coach Lou Little does little or no high pressuring when he circulates among high school Ceniors and that is the principal : roason Columbia university has established a record of having graduated every first string gridder during Little's 17 years as head man. This assertion is made in an article appearing in this week Saturday Evening Post from the pen of Stanley 1 Frank. Furthermore the rec ords show that Columbia's grid ders do better classroom work during the playing season than at any other time in the school . year. The article stales. Little sends unsolicited inquiries to each player's instructor every , three weeks, asking for reports on his grades, culs and attitude in class. If a boy drops from a B average to C plus, a safe pass ing mark. Little "hauls the cul- j jji it LMi iiik v.aiJ(ji. auu gives what-for." Because of the non proselyting policy, Little is in variably short on talent and often loses more games than he wins. His annual salary of $17,500, figured on a "pro rata basis per victory," makes him "the best master mind in the business." Chances are that next year's ' Western International league schedule will be quite a bit more satisfactory to the various club owners, although transpor tation costs will be up. Split week play will be in effect, if present plans are carried out nd if the schedule maker of the acific Coast loop, the. man as signed to draw the brackets, is anie to mane an oi ins connec tions. No team will play an other more than four games during a single series. Lady Spiders Bowl on B & B Lady duck pin spillers on the B & B bowling court rolled into their second week of action Tuesday night on the local al leys with higher scores an order of the day. Penny Montgomery, bowling for Simmons, rolled the night's high individual game with a 212, with Jane Hillman second on a 193. High individ ual series honors go to Alma Penny, as she struck a 508 for Peacock Cleaners. She was trailed by Penny Montgomery's 495. Oregon Flax took high team game first place with a total of 746 in downing Sim mons 3 games to 1.

He had been out with an in jured shoulder. Whittier, a school with some 800 students enrolled, returned to football competition this fall for the first time since 1942.

Starting in 1936 Willamette and Whittier have met four times, resulting in two wins for the Bearcats, one for the Poets with one tie. Elmer Schaake, assistant coach, wno scouted Whittier last week, came back with the report that the Poets have an exceptionally fast back field, operating from a single wing formation. Woodburn Drives Win Over Silverton Foes, 6-0 Woodburn Fashioning a 70 yard drive in the second pe riod, Woodburn defeated Sil verton, traditional foe, 6-0, in an Armistice day football game Monday afternoon. Foye Harper scored the all important touchdown that up set the favored Silver Foxes.
