Saxton Grabs Ring Title
As Crowd, Officials Hoot
PHILADELPHIA Wl Johnny
Saxton won the welterweight title
from Kid Gavilan last night.
Today, with cries of "robbers"
from Ute Gavilan camp echoing
around him, Saxton went into
court to face a possible 15-day
sentence. He is charged with 12
traffic violations.
"I hope the judge wiH give me
a break," said the 24-year-old New
Yorker.
Gavilan insisted be got no
breaks last night when a highly
. controversial unanimous '15-round
decision relieved him of the 147
pound crown he had worn for 3Vi
; years.
While the referee and two judges
" were in accord and had Saxton
the champion by the 12th round
! barring a knockout, 20 of 22 box
ing writers at the ringside had
1 Gavilan the winner in what had
to be the worse 3ght of his career.
' Gavilan, alternately crying and
screaming and alternately retiring
and unretiring, sobbed after th
i fight: ....
Referee 'Unfair'
"People don't talk for nothing.
I know from the first round on
'. that I cannot win. The referee he
gives Saxton everything his way. I
no want to fight no more. I give
my left hand I give my right
' hand to the Pennsylvania coromis
: aion. Everything steenk."
"The Keed, he Is robbed,"
Kcreamed his manager. Angel Lo
pez. "The Keed, he is jobbed. I
know he have to win big but after
he takes last three rounds I ngure
for sure they must give him the
decision. I say to the Keed, 'They
cannot take it away from you.' I

"It was a lousy, stinking fight."
said Chairman Frank Wiener of
the Pennsylvania Athletic Com
mission. "If Gavilan fought' like
I've seen him in the past, Saxton

There was more action and con
fusion in Gavtlan's dressing room,
including a fist fight, than there
was in the "fight."
Wiener frowns on return bout
contracts and there was none re
corded with the commission. Pal
ermo said Saxton might face Bas

with the winner to meet Gavilan.
Then he said it's up to Norris.

"in view of the Indicated ad

of almost two million dollars, the
measure of mv damages should be
substantial," Johnson said. "T h e
suit would hot only be for the cash

so on the grounds that this group

PCC Bowl Bid

By THf ASSOCIATED PRESS '
A bunch of big fat question
marks pop into view as the Pa
cific Coast Conference settles
down to the bulk of its circuit
schedule. The biggest, of course.
is the Rose BowL
Intersectional contests d on't
count in Rose Bowl bids, and
those have taken up the bulk of
the schedule, so far. Most of tho
Coast teams have yet to meet
each other.
Eight of the nine outfits tangle
with Coast rivals Saturday,. USC
hosts California, Washington trav
els to Stanford, Washington State
and Idaho tangle in their annual
battle at Pullman, and mighty
UCLA visits Oregon State. Oregon
and independent San Jose State
knock heads on the Ducks' home
grounds.
Logical choice for the Rase
Bowl would be the Uclans if the
rules would let them repeat their
New Years' Day visit of 1954.
They are undefeated and lead the
circuit in six of 10 statistical cate
gories. Cal, Huskies Clot
USC seems to be the first elig
ible choice, with a perfect con
ference record of two victories,
But California and Washington,
both v,:Ui 1-1 histories, are possi
bilities. Wednesday's practice sessions
didn't seem to indicate much ex
cept gloomy rain up north and
sunny confidence in California.
Rain was the outlook for guest
UCLA at Oregon State, but it's
not expected to hamper the Bruins
bowl-'om-over ground attack.
South of the rain belt, Coach
Lynn (Pappy) Waldorf, had rare
praise for his inexperienced Cali
fornia team.
"I n pleased with the advance
we've made in defense and I've
noted an improvement in our
b'ockine," he said.
And the further south you go,
the sunnier it gets. Led by tackle
Ed Fouch and end Leon Clarke,
the USC varsity consistently
smashed the California attack as
displayed by the reserves.

To Starve Out
(Second in series of three articles)
By CHUCK GRELL
Staff Wrlttr, Ntws-Review
The crowding out of the once-
famous Diamond Lake rainbow by
the ever-increasing roach was be
yond recall by 1946.
in that year, the Game Com
mission began analyses of com
parative fish ponulations in the
lake. The first nettings disclosed
94 roach to every rainbow captur
ed. In 1951, the figure was 137 to

ed to 248 to 1.
In 1952, an average of 400 roach
was brought to the surface in
each netting. No rainbow were

Portland Aids
Investigation
PORTLAND I The Univer
sity of Portland gave full coopera
tion in an inquiry which led to a
reprimand from the NCAA execu
tive council, the athletic director
said Wednesday, and now regards
the case as "almost a closed inci
dent." The council scolded the school
for holding what it said were try
outs of 11 prospective basketball
players under the direction of
head coach Art McLarney.
Athletic Director Ed Fiene de
scribed the sessions last April as
"not exactly tryouts," but said
"it's certainly not going to hap
pen again."
"We had taken corrective ac
tion prior to the council's inquiry
and gave them complete coopera
tion." Fiene said. "So therefore
it is almost a closed incident."
Portland University was one of
four schools cited in the NO A A
report Wednesday. Western Illinois
State College also was reprimand
ed. The University of Miami
(Fla.) and City College of New
York were suspended for one
year.

Average length of the trout was
down from 13.8 to 9.6 inches. An
glers' interest had lagged to where
only 65 boats were on the lake
on opening day in 1952, compar
ed to more than 600 only four
years before.
The Game Commission dropped
Iegaj length from eight to six inch
es.. A program of partial control
over the roach had been carried
out by the commission for eight
years. The program consisted of
poisoning shoal wattr with roten
one. That wasn't effeotive enough.
PoionlnB Justified ,
In 1952, the Game Commission
began tentative studies on whe'h
er a complete poisoning of the
lake would be justified economical
ly. It found that it would. It be
gan laying plans for the operation
completed between Sept. 18-27 this
year.
A contract was let for $45,000 for
an 800-foot oanal that was to low
er surface of the lake 7.2 feet.
Permanent headgates were built,
and screens installed so that the
roach couldn't escape Into the
North Umpqua River. The instal
lations were finished in 1953.
This spring, the Game Coimmis.
sion ordered 100 tons of the poi
son, rotenone. derived from u
South American root and widely
u&eu iu inaeuuLiues. ..
The poison, actually non-toxic,
works by clotting blood in tho sills
on the waterlife. Flesh of fish
isn't spoiled.
Operations beean on Sunt is
when the commission began wash
ing the poison into tributary
streams. Thai continued for lb
oays. un sept. 21, at the call of
the commission, more than 100

a hand to 150 commission person

Now, only a month later to the
