PORTLAND. Greg, Nov. Ii
You haven't heard of the Portland
Pilots?
Well, here's what they've got:
l. The Pacific Coasts highest
scorer, fourth in the Nation.
2. The hottest college football
team in Oregon, in or out of the
Pacific Coast Conference. And IN
average of 36l2 points a game to
prove it.
3. A coach who's made their game
SO pass-heavy it resembles volley
ball.
They reaelly have something this
year at University of Portland, a
school of the same class as Mount
st. Mary's Gaels and Santa Clara S
Broncs.
Huntsinger a Big Scorer.
Consider Del Huntsinger. He's a
good looking lad from South Bend,
Wash, stands feet, weighs 1875. He
has scored II touchdowns, made 16
conversions-one a dropkick-for a
total of 81 points.
That's enough to put him well
in front of Washington States Bob
Kennedy, who was listed this week
as the Coast leader with 50 points.
Enough to put him fourth in the
National rankings, just ahead of
Georgia's Frank Sinkwich, behind
Eddie McGovern of Rose Poly, Bob
Steuber of Missouri and James
Secrest of Rochester.
Throws Ball 80 Yards.
His running partner and ROOM
mate is Halfback Louie Farnsworth
of Bellingham, Wash. He's scored
SO points himself, mostly on passes
from Huntsinger, at least one of
which travelled 80 yards through
the air
The Pilots have put their razzle-
dazzle together for 219 points this
season to opponents 80. They've
won seven out of their last eight
games. losing only to the Army's
star-loaded I'd Air Force eleven
which has been running roughshod
around the West. But even the
Flyers couldn't keep Portland from
scoring twice-something they've
taken from no other outfit.

why I shouldn't continue to play"
he declared. Remember Tilden was
26 when he won his first major title.
"There'll come a time, of course,
when I'll have to give way to a
younger man. It'll give my sue
cessor more of kick if he actually
dethrones me, and that way there
won't be any question about who is
the superior"
Bulge, assisted by his brother,
Lloyd, is physical instructor for the
Embry- Riddle Schools of Aviation
here, at Clewiston and Arcadia, Fla.
About one-fourth of the student
flyers, including United States Army
and Royal Air Force cadets, are TAX
ing tennis lessons from the brothers.
Tennis has been proved to be
the best sport for flyers" Bulge
comments. THE game requires CO.
ordination, of course. and a fellow
learns good use of his wrists. All
the ranking tennis players have
been excellent automobile drivers,
and it seems to me that knack
should apply to flying, too"
Chances are, Bulge believes, that
the next player to follow him in
sweeping all of the principal cham
pionships will come out of Cali
fornia. He explains his theory this
| way:
Most of the California courts are
concrete, and they learn to play the
tough way out there.
Concrete Makes a Difference.
They have to develop sound
strokes on concrete because balls
wear quicker on the hard surface
and worn ball calls for correct
stroking to a. greater extent than
| does new one.
playing on concrete requires bet
ter physical condition. Fellows 60
ing East from California don't have
any difficulty lasting five sets on
/ the grass courts"
Bulge is discouraged about the
prospects of obtaining United States
Lawn Tennis Association sanction
for open tournaments, long advo-
Gated by his fellow professionals.
Gas it Is now" Bulge says, "the
amateur goal isn't high enough for
young players to develop as they
can only through competing against
the best in the world.
"All an amateur has to do now is
to shoot high enough just to beat
Ted Schroeder, the amateur cham
pion. Ted is fine player, but
everybody knows that several of us
professionals are better.
! There would be more incentive
for the youngsters If they had to
beat us, too"

Bill Tilden kept going until Ellis
worth Vines actually defeated him,
and Vines played on until had the
opportunity to take the top ranking
away from him.
If the war isn't too prolonged
Bulge feels he will be able to give
a good account of himself against
the challengers who will emerge
from the big tennis boom he ex-
poets to develop in the wake of war.

77.-Virginia' football squad has
new confidence as it goes about get

This Cavalier confidence stems
not so much from the lopsided vic

week end as from the improved team

last week and paid dividends.
Gillette retained his place among
the Nations leaders in forward
passing with % competitions in IS
passes thrown, but frequent use OF
running plays helpc' set up the
passing attack. 1t was a 13-yard
run by Gillette that paved the way
for Virginia's first touchdown, and
he frequently got away for good
gains when it was expected he would
pass.
With Jack Murray, son OF the
Cavalier coach, out for the rest Of
the season with a broken leg, the
coaches are hunting for a left half

Charlottesville Saturday. Clark
