Winning Spirit While not wishlnl to looear overly optimistic and itart run ning up me pennant wnen con siderable tough oppoiltion re main to be faced, it if plain. however, that a the crater con tinue along the lines they have followed the pait three weeki they will battle it out right down the itretch for one of Ore gon buihdom'a mot coveted prizes the State league gonfa lon. Since June 21, when Dutch Lieber hit town, the Crateri tiava maria .Icrht Mnniwiti anH loit only twice, and during that period the club performed in a manner to Dnng pennanroever to everybody concerned with the team'g fortunes. We don't mean to imply that Lieber alone, is responsible for the sud den UDSwina in the club's rana. bilities. but the big fellow un doubtedly has had a whale of a lot to do with this recent suc cess. Besides personally account ing for a quartet of victories by virtue of that still good right arm, the ex-major lea gue and Pacific coast loop hurler has provided a touch of inspiration for the young sters on the roster that prob ably couldn't be duplicated through any other source. Lie ber. as befits hia lana in professional ball. Is looked up to by each and every other Crater player, and his su preme hustle and spirit at all times ha been a cue lor the others. Joe Hits in 54th Straight- Bob Feller Cops 18th As Indians Trim Boston The opinion is rather general that young, up-and-coming ball players are the ones that do the hustling, while the veterans sort of sit back and coast But this is not true in most cases, for play er who have had lengthy car eers in professional baseball have had that winning spirit and fire so thoroughly drilled Into their makeup that they couldn't do otherwise but put out the best they have at all times. That's why they are vet erans, because if you don't hustle in organized hall don't tay long In organized wen. when Lieber is on that mound he simply oozes the old victory name. He is a hard worker. When he isn't nlti-hino he i out there in the third base coaching box, full of life and chatter, and on the bench he la the same sort of a ball player. Incidentally, one of Dutch's proudest possessions Is a life time pass to all Pacific Coast league games, which he received for being a 10-year man. Yes, Lieber has brought some thing vital to the Craters, and it he remains here throughout the rest of the campaign we pre dict the club will finish one-two in the second-half race. He may be no longer fast enough for double-A ball, but the big fel low is entirely capable of win ning in . this league, as he has provea.

Wilson was removed by the uni versity board of trustees acting on recommendations ot the board of athletic control. The school's athletic depart ment had been in a state of un rest ever since the Wilson Zuppke feud came to liiht in 1S38. Wilson obtained ZuDDke's resignation three years ago, but the trustees refused to accept it. Harold (Red) Grange, most famous pupil during Zuppke's 99.VH. .am. at Tllinnis charged last week that Wilson had intended to become head coach himself in 1938 if Zuppke was let nut Ciranffe also stated Wilson offered him a job as an assistant coach at his old school. Grange strongly advocated the retention of Zuppke. Wilson denied Grange s charge Sunday and counter-chareed that the former grid star was one of a group trying to oust him as athletic director. He blamed this group with leading Zuppke to "believe that he has ' been stabbed in the back." Grange tossed more fuel on j the fire yesterday by suing Wil son for $50,000, charging the' athletic director with issuing a j "malicious, false, slanderous j and defamatory" statement which "greatly Injured" Grange's reputation.
