The administration is one of tho bost. Mr. Gralupp has beon far sighted and cooperative In helping us. lie Is an ex-footballer who knows how and when to help. Mr. Woodruff, as a new administrator has stepped in and lent a helping hand where ever needed. Joe Peak is a quiet guy who rounds out a swell gang of administrators. The faculty deserves no end of appreciation. They hava made extra efforts to help the kids and the program. Their cooper ation was of the finest. Tho service clubs were ex ceptional in their support. Each put on extra functions and pro grams for the benefit of our boys Tho Interest of commun ity lenders Is a great inspira tion to tho boys concerned. The Herald and News has beon a help which It is impos sible to ever estimate or sig nify appreciation In full return. Mite Kpley has turned every hand to help, Lee Jacobs, when he was here, did wonders and Wcs Gudcrlan and his camera wcro swell. Mac has defended und boosted and ho has talked .Untight from the shoulder when it was needed. His help in more ways than I can mention here have been invaluable. I can say from my heart I'll never forget it. Quarterback Club I have purposely left until lust I lie Quarterback club and this was done for several rea sons. It Is a unique organization, but one I will miss probably more than any other: I liked the Quartcrbackcrs because they wcro interested in the soma thing I was, namely, football. They wero deeply interested or clso they would not have been there. Mako no mistake! they weren't always Interested in football tho some as I wos and therein lies the fineness of the group. There were ones who thought our strategy should have been different, there were ones who thought we should run and Ken Klahn and others who wanted us to pass and agoln make no mistake they had plenty of arguments to sub. stantluto their views. It was a great experience and a lot of fun, Each meeting was some thing new and a fellow had to alwuys bo on his toes. Tho group was swell to me, und to tho playors. Our seasons would never have boon the successes they wore without tho Quarter backers, help and awards for the players. Tho group was swell, mainly because they were a great gang of fellows personally. They are too numerous to mention but I can't closo this without mentioning Leo Smith, ono of the finest men I have ever known. No toBk was too great for Lee nor no favor too great. Leo didn't consider him self nor did he consider any personal hardships when doing something for the kids, tho team, or the football program. The best thing about Lee and tlio tilings he did was that he did them because he wanted to and because he Is the kind of a guy who is happiest when do ing something for someone else. Nothing I could say would in ony way portray the apprecia tion I have for the things Lee did. The highlight of his work was when ho got Jimmy Phelan of St. Mary's college, Calif., as speaker for tha annual Lion's club banquet. Lee and I made several trips In the interest of football which I shall never for got. My friendship with Leo has occn one or tho finest exper iences of my life In athletics. At the sumo banquet John Hous ton missing his train for on important trip to bring a mes sage to the kids and one I know they will never forget. That's all for the Q-Backs ex cept that no one could come close to the Job Lee did except Meade Up saw? Beavers Go Back Into League Lead Portland Dumps Seattle Twice; Piorerti Stars In.

I say that because I have come to know them both well and In many ways they are very simi lar guys, yea, i win miss tne Quarterback club. In closing, let me say I have tried to give the boys some thing besides training in foot bull technique. I have tried to teach them to conduct themselves properly on trips and I presume most every one read the favorable com ments wo had from hotels, etc., last year. l nave tried to leacn mem to ploy with everything they have, as hard and clean os they could, and to play for keeps at all times. The boys will remem ber I have always said when the uoina is toughest is when you find out what kind of a fellow you arc. I have tried to get tnem into very fine physical condition. I have tried to teach them loyalty. Loyalty to their team, their school, their coach, their community and their country. I have tried to teach tnem to fliiht to the end for any prln. clple in which they firmly be lieve. I have tried to teach them to win and lose gracefully but that there are certain cases when a person must be a win. ncr and certain contests one cannot lose regardless of the price particularly the conflict we are in today. ; I have tried to teach them the value of athletics and thru athletics the opportunities for tnem to be better members of society and to be better able to get along with their fellow- men. I have tried to teach them the meaning of sportsmanship and an that it truly means. xes, I have tried to teach them all this and more. You mothers, fathers and football boosters will have to decide how closely I came to doing the job. in the past year I have re ceived an average of 25 to 30 letters per month from over 200 boys all over the country and world whom I have coach ed and It would be a great thrill to run across any one of them "out there" as a fellow service man or to serve under one of them. I hope I can, by going into service, demonstrate some of the principles I have breach ed to "my boys" for I know I believe in the same things they do. To the members of the 1943 squad, who sat in the dressing room in the Multnomah Athletic club, in Portland, December 4, 1843, prior to the state champ ionship game. ''Yes, I am Ko ine to stop on December 4, 1944 and look back on that day and remember each one of you. You were a fine team win, lose or draw.

Katonen Roughed Up, Licked By Gorgeous G. Wagner as Large Crowd Sees Matches By JOHN FOSTER Paavo Katonen, light heavy weight champ, was roughed up and beaten again last night by Gorgeous George Wagner in a wild and swingy main event at the local armory. Last week when George took the nod Katonen stated that if he could do it again he'd put- up his belt. Well, he dood it so maybe next week will- see a Pacific coast championship bout take place. Paavo was again victim of rope tieing. Some of the spec tators say this time it was even worse. After a wild melee of swats by both sides Wagner managed to move his opponent to the ropes and by a couple of quick maneuvers he tangled Paavo's arms, both of 'em, be tween, the middle and top rope. There he swung helpless with the arbitrator trying to pry him loose but while this was going on George strolled clear across the ring, turned around and came charging like a wild bull at Katonen's mid-section. He repeated this butting about four Skiff Fined For Abusive Language LOS ANGELES, June 3 (ff) Bill Skiff, manager of the Se attle Rainiers has been fined $50 for abusive language to ward Umpire George Andro vlch during the Portland-Seattle game May 30, Pacific Coast Baseball League President Clar ence Rowland announced. Skiff disputed Androvich's de cision holding that Frank Shone, Portland pitcher, scored before Marvin Owen was run down at second for the third out. Seattle won the game 2-1, i Crowley to Coach Boston Yankees NEW YORK, June 3 W5) Lt. Commander Jim Crowley, for mer head football coach, at Fordham university, yesterday formally signed a contract to coach the Boston Yankees of the National Football league.

Willie Joyce, the 26-year-old negro who broke even in two previous encounters with tne former king of three boxing divisions, upset the fistic dope book and won the rubber match bv a unanimous decision in a 10-round. fiercely lougni doui at the stadium. Relvine his 32 years and 13 years of ring warfare, the Los Angeles negro, an 8 to 5 favor ite, never stopped swinging from the opening bell to the end.

St. Louis 27 times and when the referee finally untangled Paavo he was an easy victim for the body press and Georgie came out the winner. , Paavo took the first fall by using arm butts and kneeing Wagner to the face after about nine minutes of the fracas had lapsed. Eleven minutes after the sec ond bell had rung and both parties had had their share of slugging, George came through with some rat-a-tat-tat belts to the head and a couple of hard body slams and eked through with a body press for the three count. Buck Lipscomb, the Indiana meanie, took the one and only fall In the middle event. He knocked his oppenent Billy Konke, out in the" third round. Looking back he really didn't knock him out but Konke did himself, with Lipscomb's help, naturally. Maybe some explan ation would help. All through the three rounds it was a wild rassle party with Konke using his strong legs to his advantage in the pinches but come to think of it, those holds were easy to break . . . ever bite a big juicy leg? When things got a little bad for Lipscomb he came up with his own spec ialty, the self strangle. He twisted Billy's own arm around his throat, slugged merrily at his adams apple and applied the pressure . . . result: No air, no breath, no more match for the tubby Konke. Buck Davidson tried using the ropes a little too much to his advantage after another slug fested opened and after three rounds had gone by the referee awarded the fall to Herb Parks after Davidson had almost twist ed his leg off with the help of the hemp. Big news is in the offing it was stated at the armory last night. The one and only Bull dog Jackson, a man with an enchanted past, will be on hand next Friday. Many exploits have been told of the Bulldog and he's always been a one-man show. Referee was Wally Moss, a guy who is beginning to know now to taKe it. After he worked over Konke for a while after he had been knocked out and was helping the rassler up to his feet, but the rassler being half dizzy, thought he was his opponent and tossed him clear across tne ring. A hand shake finished the bout after Konke realized what he had done.
