C. JONES Capital Journal Spuria Editor .. A Pacific university sprinter halfback, Bobby Gatyas, will In itiate the Willamette Bearcats into the friendly circle of Northwest conference enemies Saturday night at Forest Grove. For Willamette coaches, fans and conference watchers, the Pa cific game will help to decide the true strength of the Bearcat "youth movement" which has done well, although losing, against Whltworth and Fresno State. Gatyas works In the backflcld of Coach Paul Stagg, which also Includes quarterbacks Vince Heln rich of Hlllsboro and Del Klggens of Estacada. Another Estacada lad, Denny Server, is Willamette's No. 2 fullback. Driver at Helm Coach Ted Ogdahl announced Thursday three changes In his Rial iiui'U, lui uiiiaiiicuv: two in the line and the third at quarterback. Sophomore Keith Driver, the 155-pound Hubbard whiz, will handle the signal call ing in place of senior Benny Holt. Driver was field general In the 70-yard scoring drive against Fresno, passing to end Hoy Barnes for the touchdown, and also show ing a talent for running on op tional plays. Barnes, a freshman with year of playing In the Army, further added stature by blocking a punt, seizing the bounding ball and run ning 35 yards (or another touch down. He is i 190-poundcr from Pendleton. ; Third change la Dick Stoakes at right guard for the injured Dennis Mlhm.

Jerry Long believes Greenlee will be ready, however, which will be bad news for Pacific's Badgers.

Offers II to Many Roys To have held to an anuroath to this activity for nearly 10 years is quite something these days. Many schools have done a great deal of experimenting In that time, from one extreme to the other.

A few years back some Junior high teams looked as If they were grttllrnn gear such was Ihe (II and such was the vintage. The outfits were old hand-me-downs from Ilin varsity. About a ycHr bko a ruling was passed down from the stale level Unit all tackle football was out for any below the 9th graders. Reversed Tnrkle Ruling Quite a storm ensued and, seem ingly, tlio Issue was reversed and handed back to the local school people as only a recommendation. It has been stated since in many quarters tnal extreme pressures from areas such as Coos Hav, Medford and Grants Pass, where they have Intensive football pro grams, caused the switch. Some of these people and others in lavor or a little more rugged junior higii activity hnve done a pretty good job of pointing right back. They contend that the de-em-pluisis was not ndvocnted in con sideration for Ihe boys but also with tiie idea of winning viirsitv, senior high football games. This would he dune by holding down Ihe programs ol schools so Hint arens which have a great deal of difficulty stirring up football inter est would not be outclassed.

Three regular backfield men have come up with Injuries that have kept them out of contact drills this week, and may lllmt them to reserve roles in the Wolves' Oregon Collegiate Conference clash with the Mountaineers. The injured trio Includes Wyman Gcrnhart, the Wolves leading ground gainer with 240 yards to his credit in two games. Gcrnhart is suffering from a severe Charley horse, but may be ready for action Saturday. . - Larry Buss, who sustained a mi nor head Injury against the Seattle Ramblers, has been held out of contact drills by Coach Bill Mc Arthur on the advice of the team physician. Buss may also get into action with Gernhart Saturday night, but he'll need the doc's okay first. Fullback Hobbling Ervin Garrison, OCE's pile- driving fullback, also has been hobbling in practice because of a knee Injury. Garrison spent a great deal of the time on the bench last year because of a bad knee and may have to sit out the action again Saturday. His top replace ment, freshman Jerry Flug, also has troubles. Flug has a pinched nerve in his arm that has been causing him agony. Others on the Injured list Include center Len Breuer, out with a bro ken hand, guard Charles Winger, suffering from a pulled muscle, and guard Joe Roth, sidelined with a sprained ankle. Roth may not take the trip to La Grande and Breuer is going along as a spotter. Don Lumgair, reserve halfback who returned to the practice field Monday alter a week's layoff with a bad foot, will sec only limited ac tion at La Grande. He still favors the foot, but is eager to get back into action. Travelers Named The traveling sqund: (Ends) Doug Zltak.

But through it all the question of who is going to win the varsity games seems lo be foremost among the layman critics, ' In the Salem school administra tion this is not the concern. "We feel that If football has any value In the schools there should be some place where every boy who Is at all Inter ested ran participate," Gllmore said. "This would seem lo be In the 9lh grade. We hope for as much participation as possible." As for those below the 9th grade level in Salem, the 7th graders have touch foolball and Ihe 8lh graders have an organized pro gram of fundamentals, motor skills, conditioning and rules. However, if any 7lh or 8th grad er is so physically constituted as lo pose a threat to his classmates and is obviously a 9th grader in development, he moves up to the varsity. 01 course, physical examinations are required ali along Ihe wny. llns approach within the pro gram Ims been lauded on every hand. The .division of the schools into two teams hns nut received such overwhelming support by those looking lo future varsity tennis, Some would prefer lo see more concentration on the "better' bovs. ' The "all-star" team idea was dumped a number ol years ago and the organizational plan speci fically slates varsity futures shall not he the consideration.

For the first lime this year Ihe schools will divide Ihe track teams. Cur rently the schools divide Into three first tennis and three "B" teams and the new Waldo and Judson Junior highs will be or ganized Ihe same way. Would concentration on fewer boys produce belter varsity tenms? The only tiling lhat can be es tablished Is that the prep super stars nren't created in junior high. The George Shaws, Jim Shanlcys and John Witles are just helped along if and when they show up. But a yenr ago Dick .fewett, sports editor of the Medford Mnil Tribune, excitedly told us that Medford had taken its greatest step toward future football great ness, (Medford makes no bones about wnnling n winner above all i else.) They had divided their Jun-! lor high teams. k I Marslifield high's program is Ihe antithesis of the "all-star" iden. They clutter up the filed and take (he coaches' lime but no one Is cut from ihe start In Ihe senior year. What they learn 1 skill-wise In grade school Is at times ridiculously overrated but they gnin an Interest and they lake. It home. The rewards have been great. This may not prove a thing. Aft er all, Eugene turned out fine tenuis (or years with no kind of organized junior high competition. (Something Hie Portland .schools could look into.) But, it could be that what is best for the most boys is best after all. Besides, the plots for future vic tories and holding down the powers is not the thing now It's the Jamboree!

Los Angeles and San Francisco were mentioned as possible new locations. Enough obstacles ap peared to exist, however, to delay any transfer, until after next sea son. Griffith, in New York for the World Scries, was quoted by The Washington Evening Star as say ing the Senators "definitely would remain In Washington If assured a new stadium. The Star said he added: "But it is impossible to get along the way things are now. Griffith twice previously had denied the club planned to leave town. But The Washington Post and Times-Herald . quoted him Friday morning as saying a shift is being considered and a Los An geles offer "looks very attractive to us in many ways. Griffith was further quoted as saying: "If we made the move, the Griffith family will still retain con trol of the team. We do not plan to sell to anybody." Both Los Angeles and San Fran cisco have long sought a major league franchise. Washington fin ished eighth and seventh, respect ively, during the last two seasons, and trailed the major leagues in attendance. Griffith inherited the presidency of the local club last December under a trust set up by the late Clark Griffith. MRS. J. OBMUS8IK, MinnttpoUt, Uinn:.

Olympic Pledge Suspended for Games of 1956 LAUSANNE,' Switzerland 11 -The controversial anti-professional pledge, which had threatened to split Olympic ranks, has been suspended for the Melbourne games. The International Olympic Com mittee executive board has decid ed after a three-hour session to return to the old Olympic vow which requires only that each ath lete declare he is an amateur. The words "and to remain" an ama teur were suppressed at least as far as the Melbourne games are concerned. Avery Brundage of Chicago, president of the IOC who had led the fight for the new rule, ex pressed satisfaction over the com mittee's action. "The spirit remains," said Brun dage.
