I t -4.V-Kither rain or foolballs will fill the -lir in the I'nlversity of Washington football stadium Saturday when the Huskies clash with the Invad ing Stanford Indians. The weather man has Indicated rain as a possibility. Normally such a forecast would brighten Washington hopes of upsetting the favored Palo Alto eleven. Cal ifornia teams have a notorious fear of the Washington mist. It's different this year. Wash ington's most potent weapons are the pitching arms of the quarter backing D o .1 s O'Leary and Helnriih and the pass snatching abilities of ends Joe Cloidt and Fritz Apklng. O'Leary Is the West's leading passer with 33 completions. Cloidt, with six catches against Oregon Slate last week, has pull ed in H for 21H yards - tops in both clnsscs.

Odds Favor Ez To Beat Valentino In Battle Tonight By RUSS NEWLAND Boxing could crown a new heavyweight ehampion tonight but probably will not. The odds today were 1 to 5 that Ezzard Charles would successfully de fend his N B A. title aealnst the challenge of Pat Valentino in their 1.) round fight at the San Francisco Cow palace. However, the 29-year-old Va lentino may be a fairly strong challenger. He lost close decis ions to Jimmy Bivins and fought two draws with Joe Maxim, both ol whom extended the titleholder plenty, although defeated. Aside from the remote possi bility he could become the upset victim of Valentino's punishing body attack. Charles figures to win rather handily. He is the su perior boxer, much faster than his rival, and has proved he can take and knockdown punch and come back to win. Charles is ex pected to weigh about 180 and his rival about 185. For Valentino It Is the chance of a lifetime. The Swarthy Italian-American, who wears his Jet black hair almost long enough for ribbons, has won a majority of his fights since he started here nine years ago. He whipped Tur key Thompson last December for the California State tittle. This will he his first bout since. The fight is scheduled for 10 p. m. i ' '..-".-'' .

It was known at the Dingell bill. "Fishing equipment Is but one of thousands of articles subject to federal excise tax, the reve nues from which are now deposit ed in the general funds of the United States and available for general governmental purposes." the president said in a message to the House. "If the revenue from the sale of fishing equipment is to be di verted to the particular benefit of those who have paid the tax, similar demands can be made on behalf of other industries and ac tivities affected by the tax. Tim government's need for unrestrict ed funds does not permit such di version of tax revenues." club.
