IT COELD BE VERSE:
There's Taylors toe to bick us
He'i Salem'i Tsagalakis;
And we've got three coaches true
With a team you can't outdo;
We'll make a rambling wreck, by heck.
Of the football crew from Benton Tech.
IT GETS MORE COMPLICATED
Friendshlo U only pigskin deep, it will be proved Friday
night when Salem High and Benson try to atop each other.
We pointed out recently that Coach Lee Guttafson of Salem
played football with Ralph Harper, Benson coach, at Franklin
High in 1938 and 1939. Gin wai right halfback. Harper a
tackle and Ted Ogdahl of Willamette U. waa lefthalf on the
jamt outfit.
Ogdahl pointed out that Al-Gray, Salem line coach,
played at Benson high ichool, graduating In 1945. His
older brother. Bill played at Benson, then at Oregon
State with GnsUtson and Harper and the trio played
together at USC while aervlng In the Marines In 142.
Bill was an All-American at Oregon State in 1946.
THE PLOT THICKENS: MORE GRAYS
Now the plot thickens there are other Grays unrelatedi
At Roosevelt High in Portland there were three Gray brothers
who played some pretty hot football. Joe, known as the Gal
loping Ghost or the Gray Ghost, was All-American at OSC
In about 1936. Dick is now junior varsity coach 'at Benson
and played at OSC as safety one year during the war and three
years after the war. And then there was Gene, who be
came hero of the transplanted Rose Bowl game Jan. 1, 1942,
when OSC nudged Duke at Durham, S.C., by catching the
pass for the winning touchdown.
FRANLIN HAS COACHING FRATERNITY
Six members of the Franklin team in 1938 and 1939 have
Joined the coaching clan and all in Oregon. Besides Ogdahl
at Willamette and Gustafson at Salem High there are Mush
Barbour at Woodburn, Franklin RcMandt at Medford, Bill
McCluskey at Washington in Portland as basketball coach
and Dick Hildreth as C grid squad mentor at Washington.
Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that Vera Gilmore,
Salem athletic director, is a Benson alumnus.

AL GRAY
GCS DEALS THE CREDIT WHERE DUE
Whether the great bell of victory tolls or groans for
the Vikings in the playoffs or not, Gustafson believes be
has the "best bunch of assistants In the state" in Gray and
Backfleld Coach Hank Jnran. When It comes to knowing
their fundamentals, the local prep players are second to
, none and It was Gray and Juran who did the groundwork.
Team spirit is born of confidence, and confidence groweth
from developing the ability to block and tackle, as any psychia
trist, with or without a couch, can tell you. Gray, for example,
gets down and digs with his linemen to show them how,
teaching them the finer points while in-tilling the desire to
drive, drive, drive. During a game each assistant watches
his own department and makea his own substitutions when
he tees the need subject to veto of Gustafson, of course.
Juran played at the University of Idaho and Gray at OSC
as center, linebacker, gusrd and right half.
ItAWTHER ROUGH, OLD CHAP ,
David Jons -came from the foggy wharves of London to
Wrestle in Salem last night, by a roundabout route but
nevertheless his -British accent was there in the ring with
him. We cornered him after hia match with Doug Donnan and
put the question to him: "How do you get away from your
ivife so long?" His answer: "No wife."
Jons served six years in the Royal Air Force as a pilot,
more than four years overseas in places like Egypt and Ken
yon. He got his physique swimming, diving snd weightlifting
and turned pro wrestler in 1947.
After winning the British Junior heavy "mat belt he
toured Europe aeveral times where, he says, people really
like their wrestling. In Spsln he emerged from the tunnel
to wrestle in a ring erected in a bull fighting arena

The weather appears to play
an Important role In the com

Lincoln Field Friday night as
the rain will hurt the already
poorly turfed Portland field.
Lee Gustation's Vikings are
already ' accustomed to the'
mud and may have to depend
on straight power plays.
Jimmy Williams, speedy but
small Benson Mechanic back;
Gordy Grenier, big; end; and
star' guards Jerry Clark and
George Shessley are the stars
in the Tech starting line-up.
The Vikings match their back
