, 'tit inn 8 Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon, Thursday, Nov. 21, 1946 City Cage Loop Formed With Ten Teams Listed Salem's city basketball league will operate with ten teams dur ing the upcoming season, providing three additional sponsors can be secured within the next week, decided a group of team man agers and city loop officers at a meeting held at Maple-Keene's store last night. Attending the hour-long planning session were Skits and Scratches By Fred Zimmerman Capital Journal Sports Editor Are those souvenir guns brought back from Japan and Rermanv safe to use? Or will iw hlow un in one's face caus ing death or at the best badly imorf fpatures? By way ot answering these questions Hpnrv P. Davis of the Reming ton Arms company says "there ia no wav for the average sportsman to tell whether his souvenir eun is safe to shoot or nnt. for it surely won't blow up unless it's fired." The besl thing to do is to send a full and detailed description of the gun or pistol to General Julian S Hatcher, technical division, Na tional Rifle association, 1600 Rhode Island avenue, N.W., Washington. D.C. and get his advice on the subject. General Hatcher is one of the world's foremost authorities on domes tic and foreign small arms Gun authorities point out that before the war Germany made good guns. And during the first part of the conflict rigid stand ards were maintained. "But if you own a German gun made during the latter part of the war, you may unwittingly be in possession of a one way tick et to Valhalla. It is well known that the German guns produced in that period were carelessly machined for speed of produc tion was the thought of the day. And it is well known that the slave labor forced to manufac ture these guns did its share of sabotage." "Perhaps the most dangerous of foreign made guns are those produced by the Japanese," the warning continues. "During the war the Nips resorted to cast ing their rifles and those made along toward the last are par ticularly dangerous. The older Japanese guns are generally safe with the right ammunition, but this cannot be obtained in this country. As a rule, foreign ammunition is safe when used eorrectly .. . . There is also the danger of getting hold of some foreign proof loads, made for the purpose of blowing up weak guns." It rains in California, too. They had to use fire engines to pump the water off Hadley field before the Willamette Whittier football game at Whit tier last Saturday night. But even so, Coach Walter Erick son reports the field was in ex cellent condition with the ex ception of one soft spot. It was a tough one to lose about a minute to go and with the Bear cats In possession with four scrimmage plays available to kill the 60 seconds before the final gun. But instead of nurs ing the ball, the 'Cats grew am bitious and thought they mignt as well have another touch down, so they tried a forward pass. It was intercepted and the Poets lined up quickly and un corked a pass of their own The receiver succeeded In get ting three or four feet behind a Bearcat defender and Willam ette lost another. Even so, the 'Cats came close to scoring with less than a minute to play, but the effort died with another interception . . . Incidentally, Whittier will not lose a single member of this year's aggrega tion and when they make an appearance here next fall, should be stronger than ever. Coach Erickson said the Bear cats faced one of the hardest driving ball carriers of the sea son in "Dick" Tucker. Old grads back at Corvallis Saturday for the big game will not need to go hungry provid ing they are in possession of a four-bit piece.

However, those scribes who deathwatched the Oregon State college student union building back in late November of 1941 thought they might have seen good reason for such a merger. Oregon State had just defeat ed Oregon, 12-7, down the road at Eugene, and officials and newspapermen hustled back to Corvallis to get the confirma tion of the conference vote nom inating the Beavers for the Rose Bowl. After which, the pro fessors started manhandling the long distance telephone to get an opponent. Two teams were favored ! Fordham and Missouri. Ru mors were thicker than cigar smoke in the ante-room as ne gotiations dragged through the night. Finally, at 2 a.m., the nerve - frazzled negotiators climbed into their overcoats and disclosed there'd be no an nouncement until later Sunday. They'd only give a knowing shrug when either Fordham or Missouri was mentioned. But about that time word came that Fordham and Mis souri had been spooned into the Sugar Bowl, and here was Ore gon State with a Rose Bowl engagement and no opponent. It wasn't until around 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon that third choice Duke was contacted, ac cepted and ultimately hosted be cause of the war. Junior Hoopsrers Attend YM School of Defense Defensive tactics were stress ed by Instructors Bob Keuscher and Jim Dimit during last night's junior high basketball school on the YMCA floor.

True, they have had more ex perience in sloppy going than the Trojans. While the latter has performed exclusively on fair to fast turf this season, the Uclans played Oregon at Port land in the muck and were held to 14 points. Southern Cal trompted Oregon on a dry field, 43-0. Each got a workout in the goo yesterday, if that means any thing at this stage of their race for the Rose Bowl. Weather reports gave the fans a break, too. Officials at UCLA, the "home team" this time, pre dicted a sell-out throng of 101.382. UCLA has already passed its attendance record, having per formed in eight games to 420, 540 fans, an average of better than 52 567 per game.

Interested observers, alumni spokesmen, sports experts, and liter ally hundreds of gus fans didn't wait to lie asked for an opinion on the Pacific Coast-Big NineS bowl pact which slammed the ate on Army The coi.sensus in boutnern California was: An agreement might b? all right, but after all these years of official and unofficial dick ering between the two, it could have been dated a year later, leaving the way open for Army to play in the Pasadena game next Nev Year's day. Ther was a healthy minor ity who didn't like the agree ment in any form. They op posed the closed-door policy against other teams, princi pally Irom the south and southwest which have pro vided the bowl history with many a colorful chapter, win or lose Particularly painful was the suggestion as reported from the east that the conference was afraid o meet the great Army outfit. That one hurt, for it was UCLA and Southern California, who meet Saturday for the right to represent the far west in the Rose Bowl, which led the losing battle at Berkeley to bring iIip cadets to the bowl. There were other phases in the agreement that many could not understand, especially the one which seemingly gives the Big Nine authority to designate, if not name, the eastern oppo nent for the last two years of the five-year contract. Huge Banquet Planned by Dads One of the most grandiose banquets in the history of Sal em will be presented by the Dads club next Tuesday night as the sports-pushing group will entertain close to 200 senior high, junior high and Sacred Heart academy football youths in the high school cafeteria.

Frank as spokes man for a group of Portland business and civic leaders. Frank said that if the Army cold-shouldered by the Pa cific Coast conference came here, the game would be scheduled as the Northwest bowl and would be played for the benefit of the Shriners hospital for crippled children in Portland. He said he understood that the academy officials had been approached in behalf of the pro posed game and were interest ed in the possibility. Frank said he was not informed of the im mediate reactions of Oregon State officials, although the pro posal hud been presented to them in detail. Lon Stiner,' OSC coach, de clined comment, noting that the Beavers have yet to meet Ore gon this Saturday at Corvallis and Washington next week at Portland. Of its seven games played, Oregon State has won five, lost one and tied one. Ski Patrol Issues Call There is a need for skiers to take over the duties of the San tiam ski patrol during the win ter sports season in the Hoodoo Butte recreational area.

A week ago Referee Packey McFarland hoisted both Lacey's and Hoag's dukes after they had sniped away at each other for 10 rounds. Lacey thought he had won by reason of his superior boxing skill but Referee McFarland claimed Hoag had earned nothing worse than a draw because he forced the fighting. And while Lacey said he wanted a voice as to who would be the judges, Match maker Tex Salkeld holds that is something for Harry Levy, chairman of the boxing com mission, and his associate, to determine. The bout is scheduled to go to a decision although what would happen if the two judges and the referee called it a draw at the end of IS rounds, has not been announced. "I don't care who judges or who referees," commented Sal keld. "1 think that is up to the commission. But I know one thing, Packey McFarland has done a wonderful job as referee and I know he gives them as he sees them."
