FIREWORKS BETWEEN
CAL AND U S. C. FIZZLE—
The expected fireworks at the
Pacific Coast conference over the
question of scouting for players
which caused such a row between
California and Southern California
i
a few weeks ago have failed to
materialize as yet as far as we
can learn from press reports.
The only mention of investigat
ing the evil of scouting came with
the announcement that it would
be taken up at the spring confer
ence meeting to be held in Port
land.
In fact, the whole conference
meeting seemed to go through
without a hitch except for the
slight difference between U. C. L.
A. and Southern Cal over their
annual game. All schedules were
arranged to everyone’s satisfac
tion. At least no loud protests
have been heard.
Looking at the Oregon State
schedule, it appears that it will
be the Webfoots’ turn to sneer at
the Orangemen’s list of games.
During .the past season the Ba
rometer sport column has contin
ually called attention to the tough
schedule which Oregon played.
So far, only four conference tilts
have been listed for the Staters,
the same number that Oregon
played this year. We will have
to admit, though, that they didn’t
pick any soft spots. Southern
California, Stanford, Washington
State and the annual Oregon fray
make up their list. It looks like
a hard fall for next year’s Orange
eleven.
Washington took on another
heavy conference schedule with
seven games signed up. Phelan
evidently likes to tackle them all.
U. C. L. A. took a beatim- this
year with only three games on
their list. The fact that they are
coming out of the soft-spot class
seems to scare away schools who

COAST CONFERENCE
MAY HAVE COMMISSIONER—
j
The possibility of the Pacific
Coast conference having a com
missioner of athletics seems less
remote now that Prof. W. B.
Owens of Stanford, president, has
been instructed by faculty repre
I sentatives of the institutions to
select a committee to investigate
! the plan.
The commissioner would act as
arbiter of all disputes arising over
eligibility and would see that
schedule arrangements give the
smaller colleges an even footing
with the larger schools. This sys
tem has worked out very success
fully in the Big Ten conference
and should go far toward ironing
out some of the difficulties that
the Coast conference has been
forced to struggle with and solve
to nobody’s complete satisfaction.
KITZMLLLER BREAKS
INTO PRINT AGAIN—
“Johnny Kitzmiller, University j
of Oregon halfback, the best all
round performer of 1930.” Such J
is the praise given the Webfoot
ace by Russell Newland, Associ
ated Press sport ..expert, in an
article appearing in the Oregonian
the other morning.
“This choice was made only
after considerable reflection and
close watch of the pick of such
teams as Southern California,
Washington State, Stanford, St.
Mary's and others,” Newland com
mented.
The San Francisco scribe also
stated that in his opinion Kitz
miller would have been a cinch for
all-American honors if he had 1
played on any of the California
teams. As it was, the only chance '
for South coast writers to see him I
in action was in the Gael contest!
Thanksgiving day.
And that wasn't the only men
tion that Kitz got in the dailies j
that day. George Kirksey, United i
Press sports scribe, in an article
listing his outstanding impressions '
of gridiron games he had seen all ;
over the country, gave Oregon's j
star back the credit for giving the !
gamest exhibition of the season. '
His comment read: “Johnny Kitz- j
miller played on his nerve against j
St. Mary's, being almost unable
to get up after he was knocked
down in the latter part of the
game.”
Steve Fletcher also broke into 1
print as being in the hardest luck
play Kirksey had seen—“Fletcher,
Oregon end, catching a pass for
what would have been the winning
touchdown against St. Mary’s, and
then dropping the ball.”

By ED GOODNOCGH
Bernie Hughes retained his
heavyweight crown in a thrilling
four-round mix with Gail Holzapfel
in the final bout of the boxing
tourney yesterday but until Hol
zapfel's strength faded in the third
the big blond battler had a decid
ed edge. Due to the fact that
Hughes had not been out for box
ing this term his timing was poor
and he swung his punches more
than he did last year.
The end of the first round found
the husky Medford lad trailing. Not
a whit discouraged by Hughes’
reputation, Holzapfel had blocked
a medley of swings and cooly pro
ceeded to bounce lefts and rights
off his opponent’s chin and body.
This counter punching piled up
points in the second, although
Hughes was weakening Holzapfel
by rushing him to the ropes. The
game Holzapfel was wear in the
third and yet he still stopped the
tigerish rushes aimed at him. Once
Bernie looked like the fighter of
last year when he cracked a
straight left to the chin that sent
Gail spinning to the ropes. Hughes
measured Holzapfel several times
in the fourth but failed to put over
the kayo.
Pasion Beats Cowan
Benny Pasion was a vastly im
proved fighter over his Monday
form when he outsmarted hard
hitting Sid Cowan to eke out a
decision in four rounds. Cowan
was baffled by Benny’s constant
bobbing and ducking but remained
a threat until the final gong. Pa

Provide Problem
For Kappa Sigma
Shades of '49 and other vehe
ment exclamations of surprise
were running rampant around the
campus every time a Kappa Sig
hove in sight this week. But those
cherished bristles, whose proud
owners had pledged not to cut un
til after exam week under penalty
of a mill race ducking, never got
past that primitive itchy stage.
Maybe it was their frowzy ap
pearance, or maybe it was the gen
eral discomfort that they were en
during that prompted the boys to
hold a council and alleviate the
punishment somewhat. Instead of
the proposed ducking, it was decid
ed to fine each member who shaved
25 Christmas seals ... as a conse
quence, the Kappa Sig house turn
ed in $3 more than their required
quota.
The best part of this scandal is
that Slug Palmer paid Jesse Doug
las $1 to shave off an offending
moustache. And Jesse was big
hearted enough to donate the dol
lar to the Seal fund.
sion’s best punch was a looping
right which he hung on Cowan’s
jaw or buried in the pit of his
stomach. He occasionally varied
it with a left hook that generally
caught Cowan napping. The latter
kept the fight in doubt by chasing
Benny to cover with his lightning
pokes to the head.
Harry Smith outfought George
McFarland in three out of four
rounds only to see the title slip
from his grasp by the judges’ de
cision. McFarland, who had con
siderable advantage in height and
reach, warded Smith off with his
left and shot home several beauti
ful straight rights to lead by a
mile at the end of the first period.
However, he seemed exhausted by
this effort and the tdetermined
Smith broke through his guard
during the next two rounds, trip
hammering blows to his body and
face. McFarland was continually
forced to clinch and drape his
lanky length on Smith as direct
hits took toll of his strength. The
fourth was nearly even, both men
swinging aimlessly.
Uppercuts Bring Win
Don Weed’s ponderous uppercuts
and hooks carried him to victory
over John Enright although the
latter put up stiff resistance.
Weed scored the only real knock
down when he connected with En
right’s jaw, flopping him to the
mat for a count of three. Despite
the severe pounding he had taken
from Weed, Enright took the of
fensive in the third but his round
house attempts usually found only
the atmosphere.
Hex Sorenson gave Bill Bower
man a rather unpleasant surprise
until lack of condition left him
helpless in the second round. He
locked Bowerman with some snap
py lefts in the first but was crum
pling under Bill’s onslaught at the
end of the round. Bowerman gave
Sorenson no chance to rest in the
second, piling into him repeatedly
with a flurry of smashes until
Referee Knox stopped the fight as
Sorenson collapsed on the ropes in
his corner.
Harry Siegel was too fast for
Don Beeson in the welterweight
bout, rolling up points as he forced
Beeson to cover up before his
whirlwind attacks. Siegel, how
ever, left his jaw unprotected for
a straight left that had his head
snapping back as Beeson occasion
ally nailed him. Outside of these
rallies Beeson was kept on the de
fensive and was constantly forced
to the ropes by Siegel’s attacks.
