Corvallis Victory Won
By Fighting Spirit Says
Hulen of Mail Tribune
Br Billy Hulen
Mall Tribune Sports Editor
Salem. March 11 (Spl) This, aparently. Is to be a tourna
ment of upsets.
We saw the first one happen last night the whipping of
a Salem team, 19 to 11. by a Corvallis quintet that on past rec
ords didn't have a chance to defeat the mighty Vikings.
Salem, In the No-Name league this season, had beaten the
Spartans twice by substantial margins. Nobody in the almost
filled gym sincerely believed the Vikings could lose this one
not with such performers as Dutch Simmons and Rex Hardy
and Bud Coons, purported all-state material.
But It happened. It happened because a Corvallis team
that fought like no other team of high school calibre we have
ever witnessed, fought.
Not even when the halftlmet
score was the incredible 8-3, did
the partisan crowd believe there
was a possibility that Harold
Hauk's crew could lose. But, as
the game wore on and the Frank
Ramsey crowd built up a 12
to 7 lead at the end of the third
period. It became apparent that
something was happening.
Spartan Zone Defense
Something to Behold
It was, too. The zone defense
employed by the Spartans was
something to behold. Though
Salem missed cripple shots ga
lore, they were always pressed
by the close-checking Vikings
and never did they really get a
clear heave at the bucket.
Simmons, for example, scored
exactly three points one field
goal and one free throw. Sim
mons, it might be mentioned,
broke the No-Name league scor
ing record this season as his
club won 10 out of 10.
Jason Widmer, the short, stub
by red-headed guard and team
captain, was the big gun In the
Corvallis conquest. The little
fellow had that ball all eve
ning, driving down the floor and
setting up what few plays Cor
vallis used, which wasn t many
as the score of the game attests.
He wag a fireball, though, and
was 99 per cent responsible for
the Spartan win.
This Corvallis team. Incident
ally, is coached by big Frank
Ramsey, the ex-Oregon State
college football hero and cur
rent Spartan grid mentor. Ram
sey fell Into the cage tutoring
post when Forrest "Skeet"
O'Connell, former Ashland high
coach, resigned at Corvallis to
accept a position in California.
Skeet quit right In the middle
of the season, and there was
nothing left for Ramsey to do
but take over the basketball
coaching post. He did, and with
evident successful results. The
Corvallis quint, which defeated
Medford when the Tigers were
"down." In an overtime period,
don't do much on the floor. They
don't have any plays to speak
of and not magnificent material,
but they do have guts.

by Leonard B. Mayfield, and it

won't be any parties or such to

ARMY LIFE GOOD
FOR JOE LOUIS;
Less Time For "Foolin"
Around" Agrees With
Champ; Trains For Simon
By d Feder
Fort Dlx, N. J, March 11.
UrV-As though Income tax
time and the draft and such
matters weren't enough Just
now, the heavyweights In gen
eral and ample Abie Simon in
particular were informed today
that Joe Louis is stronger now
than he's ever been.
Of course, this is like saying
a red pepper Is hotter when
doused with mustard, but it Is
the awful truth, nevertheless,
because buck private Joe, him
self, says it's so. What's more,
Joe says, this army life Is the
thing that turned the trick and
changed him from a compara
tive weakling into the great big
strong man he's suddenly be
come. "It's not only the army work
and stuff," Private Joe said as
he went through his chores In
preparation for his March 37
Madison Square Garden party
with Simon. "But when you're
in the army, you don't get out
as much. There's not so much
time for foolin' around. So you
Just build up naturally."
Full Program
Joe Isn't kidding about that
His program these days is as
full as a glamour gal's date
book. He's up at six a. m. for
six miles of roadwork. When
he comes back he takes an
hour's nap, then sits down for
some work with a. knife and
fork, and then has to run
through his two-hour dally drill
in his basic army training. Af
ter that he has his work to
do for the army emergency re
lief fund affair with Abie.
When dinner's over, any
time before the lights go out
at 10 o'clock can be used to
play some table-tennis, toss
some darts, have a whirl at gin
rummy or checkers or some ele
gant jive pouring from the elec
trical music box someone gave
him for a Christmas present. All
of these recreations are laid out
on the first floor of a fight
training headquarters, the like
of which hasn't been seen since
Max Baer used to cover the
Broadway beat.

"T" Formation Teacher
May Get Old Eli's Call
New York, March 11. CP) The Yale corporation Is slated
to meet Saturday and do something about selecting a new foot
ball coach for Old Ell and from all indications there's a 50-50
chance that a teacher of the "T" formation will be chosen.
Two names probably will be
presented for consideration. The
University bloc, including most
of the athletic department and
certain undergraduate groups,
apparently favors elevating Ivan
Williamson, the old Michigan
player who has been a Yale
assistant coach since 1934.
The grads, represented by the
alumni advisory committee,
have been surveying coaches
who have made names for them
selves through recent successes.
In this category are Clark
Shaughnessy of Stanford, Henry
Frnka of Tulsa and Frank Mur
ray of the University of Vir
ginia. Bud Wilkinson, Syracuse
assistant coach, also was under
consideration but apparently
will go to Minnesota as fresh
man mentor.
Unless Frnka, former Temple
assistant who gave Tulsa a Sun
Bowl team in his first season,
breaks In as "dark horse" can
didate, the alumni choice seems
to be limited to a pair of prom
inent exponents of the "T,"
Shaughnessy and Murray.
