RICE'S POETRY ONCE PRAISED
TheSp
v v..T,he1tteJ?ranyand Ric had occasion to turn his poetic spot
jignt in the direction of Oregon State College's football team one
glorious October evening in 1915. Rice, who died Tuesday after
a half century ofv covering the ,
biggest sports events, had just r - -r . :-w.
teen Oregon State do the "im. 1 -V .. .v' -:
possible" beat Michigan State!
20-0 at East Lansing, just after
MSC had whipped Michigan 24-0
and after Washington State had
knocked off the Oregon Aggies,
29-0. -
A 101 per cent OSC alumnus
brought in his 1916 yearbook,
The Beaver, today and pointed
out the poem Rice had written
In The New York Tribune to
praise in verse the Aggies from
the West. Leading the Orcgonians
was Herman Abraham, the great
fullback who rated Walter Camp's
third All-American team in 1916.
Time and time again he circled
MSC ends or crunched through
"All-American" tackles for five to
20 yards. ,
The Yost mentioned in Rice's
poem was, of course, Fielding H.
"Hurry-up"- Yost, Michigan U.
coach who got beaten the week
before by Michigan State, 24-0.
The verse was built -around a
general comment that "Football
in the Far West is at low tide."
"THE PACIFIC SLUMP" ,
How sad to think about the slump
That's soaked the distant West!
To think how far their teams have dropped
. . Below the laureled crest;
To think that in that' land along
The old Pacific's rim .
They haven't any stalwarts left -
To play the game with vim;
They haven't any team at all
From all their ragged hosts" ' , .
Except a team that crushed a team
That smashed a team of Yost's.
Ah, yes, it's sad to think about
The old Pacific slump,
The way the West has hit the chute
And hit it with a bump;
But when you speak of things like this
In a manner somewhat free,
Don't mention it at Michigan
Or up at M.A.C.; . I ,
They haven't any stuff at all
To call for Autumn boasts
.. Except a team that smeared a team
That smashed a team of Yost's.
",i-Grantland Rice, In New York Tribune, 191S,
FACILITIES "BEST IN THE LAND"
Incidentally, in 1915 the Oregon Aggies beat Willamette uni
versity, 69-0; beat Whitman, m-i; iosi uiai uue tu srov,, i
Idaho, 40-0; lost to Oregon U., 9-0; and lost to University of Syra
cuse, 2W). WSC that year went to the first regular Rose Bowl
fame and defeated Brown, 14-0. The Cougars were coached by
W H "Lone Star" Dietz, a colorful coach from Haskell Institute.
Oregon State recently got out a small brochure pointing out
' Its athletic facilities as "best in the land," aimed, we guess,
at high school graduates, alumni and students about to graduate
from high school. It can be proud, all right, for the Coliseum
and its 10,500 capacity is among the largest basketball pa
vilions in the nation and its new Parker football stadium, fi
Danced by donations and not from gate receipts, will scat 27,000
human beings.
JAY DEAN DOING OKAY, NATURALLY
OSC's first baseman and deluxe basketball player, Jay Dean,
apparently can hit the long ball, after all. With Baker in the semi
pro Tri-State league, he is hitting .769 with 10 hits in 13 times up.
His fielding has been perfect and he hit the longest homer ever
smacked in the Baker park, about 400 feet into lift field. He's the
Beaver that Yankee Scout Deacon Jones said couldn't hit "the long
ball," despite his .451 average in Northern Division games and
getting named to the college All-American team at first.
ni.nn started the summer season with his hometown semi-pros
at Nampa and is reported to have accepted a Baker offer of $425
a month plus room and board. We presume that involves some
work in logging camps or lumber yards, but might be just count
ing Presto logs.
GIANTS COMING TONS OF THEM
We can tell that the New York Football Giants are big
people. All we had to do n ' s take a look at the equipment
that has been arriving at McCiiMoch stadium which will clothe
and take care of the giants. Tons of it has come by freight
off and on this summer to be ready to issue stuff and things
to them when they turn out Sunday. The players themselves
are expected to start checking in Friday night and Coach
Howell at the same time.
We can hardly wait for some of those big tackles to run over
us while wc arc taking pictures of them in the next six weeks
they will train here. John Lewis, Willamette athletic director, said
iho Now Vnrkerj Dlan to use the practice field to save the
stadium turf for the big scrimmage games. A good thing, too,
for the sod isn't built for much traffic because of the shallow roots.
We are told that the host university officials arc holding their
breath about the bed situation at Baxter hall, where the , Giants
will live and eat. Take for example, the 300-poundcr, Earl Putnam,
and the seven other linemen 250 or over.
You take him on the next play we'll be over behind the
brick wall.

Bill Franks'
Hurls Win
With Help
By DAVE CROMWELL
The Salem Senators, in beat
ing Tri-City 6 to 3 Wednesday
night, came as close to shutting
out their WIL opponent as they
have all season. Bill Franks, Sa
lem starter, blanked the Tri-City
Braves through the first eight
innings but then ran into trouble
in the ninth.
Tonight former Senator .Jack
Hemphill will pitch for the
Braves and will face Ernie Dom
enichelli who has a three won,
four lost record for. the season.
Game time is 8 p.m. .
Last night, after giving up a
single to right field to Terry Car
roll in the top of the ninth, Brave
third baseman, ' Franks pitched
two consecutive balls to first
sacker .Vic - Buccola.. Manager
Hugh Luby apparently figured
that -Franks was beginning to
tire. Jose Rayle was brought in
to put out the embering fire,
but seemed to be using gasoline
in his extinguisher.
Vanni Drives In Run ' ,
Rayle continued where Franks
left off, issuing two more balls
to Buccola and sending him to
first.' Edo Vanni then hit a
ground single to center, scoring
Carroll, and Len Tran got on on an
error on a ground ball to Carl
Bellotti. The next two Brave bat
ters, Rube Johnson and Bob Mo
niz, each grounded out second
to short, each driving in a run
on their grounders.
Salem's runs came in the sec
ond, third, and sixth off ace
Brave hurler Don Robertson, who
sported a 12-3 record, and off
two reliefers in the eighth. In
the second frame, Jim Deyo
drove in Connie Perez with a
double. Perez had gotten on with
a ground hit to center. In the
third, Mel Krause, who had sin
gled himself to first, and moved
to second with a stolen base,
legged it all the way home with
out hesitation when Bellotti
weakly grounded out to the first
oaseman
Gene Tanselli ' drove in Carl
Bellotti in the sixth with a slnele
to left after Bellotti had slnnled
to right field and advanced to
second on a sacrifice by, Bob Kel
logg.
Big Eighth Inning
The Senators' big eighth in
ning, which' eventually proved
the margin of victory, started as
Bellotti singled to left off relief
er Dale Thomason. Bellotti went
to second with a stolen base, Kel
logg got to first safely on a bunt
hit and both runners advanced
on 'a wild pitch. Tanselli then
hit a sacrifice fly to center scor
ing Bellotti, and Kellogg scored
on a triple to center by Perez.
That was all for Thomason and
Vanni brought in Bill Thomp-
kins, who hit Harry Warner with
his first pitch. Dennis Luby then
hit a sacrifice fly to right field
scoring Perez after the catch.
Last night's game was preced
ed by an announcement that Um
pire Bogle had informed the
management that he would take
under consideration the forfei
ture of the game to the visiting 1
ball team if any more firecrack
ers were thrown onto the playing
field. Tuesday night the umpires
were harassed by two such July
4th leftovers being tossed on the
field while Tri-City batters were
at the plate. None appeared
Wednesday.
Umpires Draw Fire
Also added to the umps' woes
were the numerous beefs regis
tered obstreperously by players
of both teams at various times
during the game. Mel Krause was
the victim of the thumb in one
of the more heated disputes, aft
er he tried vainly to convince
plate umpire Bogle that he had
slid safely in third on a play in
the seventh when Franks had at
tempted to sacrifice Krause from
first to second. Krause apparent
ly decided to just keen aoine on
the- play and was "out" at the
third base sack.
The two umpires said after the
game that the considerable
amount of razzing they got from
the fans during the tilt last night
didn't bother them in the least,
and that they wished that there
were 5,000 there doing it instead
of the sparse crowds nf late.
