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

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.

Play on Leslie Court
Although no date for the
league's opening has been es
tablished, it was decided last
night to play on Leslie junior
high school's court on Monday
and Wednesday nights of each
week. The schedule, which will
be drawn up soon, will probably
call for a loop opener early in
December. Town teams from
Stayton, Aumsville and Sublim

On Bowl Foes
OSC Memory
Seattle, Nov. 21 VP) There'll
be a lot of pro and a lot of con
tossed around about the Pacific
Coast conference-Big Nine Rose
Bowl wedding.
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.

In Rose Bowl Tie-up
Los Angeles, Nov. 21 Cft Pacific Coast conference officials
here today privately expressed disappointment over the Berkeley
Rose Bowl decision, but the public at large was not so discreet.
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.

Talks of Bowl
And Army
Portland, Ore., Nov. 21 (U.R)
A move to bring the Army foot
ball team for a New Year's day
game against Oregon State col
lege was announced last night
by Aaron M. 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. Those
who believe they can qualify
are asked to get in touch with
Harvey Fox at Anderson's
sport goods store. First aid will
be one of the first requirements,
particularly in an area where
amateurs play a prominent part
in the program.
The forest service will have
charge of the patrol and the
men assigned for duty on any
particular day will be pro
vided with overnight accom
modations and given free use
of the ski tow. A minimum
age limit of 18 years will be
in effect for assignment as a
ski patrol member.
Consideration of the patrol
will be given during a public
meeting to be held in Albany
the night of Nov. 26 at the civir
center.
Lady Cagers Meet
Girls interested in the for
mation of a Salem basketball
sextet will hold a meeting
Thursday at 8 . p.m. in the
YWCA. The proposed plan
involves organization of a
team, securing a sponsor, then
games with rival girls teams
in cities near Salem. Jamie
Ruth Deckard will coach the -team.
Darwin Horn of Pepperdine
college in California still leads
the nation's football scorers with

For Hoag Duel

featherweight, who boxes Du
ane Hoag, northwest champion,
over the 15 round route at the
Salem armory the night of No
vember 27 is holding out for
two judges in addition to the
referee. 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."
