(AP) Oval leather objects, be
lieved by observers to be footballs,
which all morning spiralled beau
tifully high abore the rim of Rose
Bowl, brought Rasps of astonish
ment from sports writers gathered
outside the locked gates of the
arroyo gridiron here where-, tfct
Crimson Tide from Alabam' lashed
the turf in practice for the east;
west clash with Stanford New
Years Day.
"We don't know what they do
nhen they've get the leather on
the ground but those g'uys from
Dixie sure ean boot that bail."
chorused the would-be practice
critics-.
Coach Wallace Wade, who pilots
the tide, is taking no chances on
his pet plays becoming public
property. Big policemen system
atically clean out the bleachers
and brush off the knothole fans
from the fence on the south end
l-efore Wade and his outfit flows
onto the green.
(lordon "Sherlock" Holmes was
cpain on the crest of the tide dur
ing the morning when the iowl
was turned over to the Alabam
ans. Holmes' appendix apparently
had subsided completely after an
outburst at El Paso. Texas, on ti e
wsy west, and there were n-any
smilea of confidence when he came
out in hia football suit. Holmes
is rntod as one of the country's
best pivot men and is counted on
to hold down the plunging ducks
from Stanford.
Wade has decreed that no more
sightseeing or social events shall
be indulged in by the tide until
after the big game. Rest, he pays,
will be their chief occupation with
a generous amount of "skull prac
tice" while they are resting.
"Pop" Warner, veteran pilot of
the Palo Alto champions, changed
the hue of the picture in the after
noon with a flock of red shirted
gridiron warriors. So far Stan
ford has had no scrimmage, con
fining practice to signal drills,
setting-up exercises and kicking
goals from various angles.
The Salem Brack Cats last night
defeated the Chemawa Indians at
Chemawa in a fast basketball
game. 3 2 to IK. The Black Cats
hit their stride, and showed better
teamwork than in any previous
game.
Good checking by the Black
Cats kept the Indians away from
the basket most of the game. Gos
ser was high point roan, with 11
markers. Nash, with 10, was a
close second.
The Black Cats will play at Mill
City tonight.

PORTLAND. Dec. 29. (AP)
The problem of devising some plan
whereby the high school football
championship of Oregon may be
determined will be discussed at
the annual ineetting of the Oregon
high school athletic association at
Lincoln high school tomorrow. The
meeting will be held in connec
tion with the annual session of the
Oregon state teachers association.
It is the hope of the state asso
ciation that some arrangement can
be made so that by a program of
elimination a state champion can
be decided upon. Just what pro
posals the state principals. will of
fer is not known, but according to
J. O. McLaughlin, association sec
retary, several plans have been
drawn up.
Besides the championship issue.
the association will discuss other
athletic questions, Including plans
for the annual state basketball
tournament. As practically every
high school in the state is repre
sented at the teachers' association
meeting, a record attendance is
expected.
