southpaw fighter who has been
making his home in Salem for sev
eral months, gets his big oppor
tunity Wednesday night when he
meets Johnny Hawks of Seattle in
.. the main erent at the armory.
"Everything to win and noth
ing to lose" is 'Akers' oat look on
this fight, for Hawks is junior
lightweight champion of the
northwest, and it won't injure
. Akers' reputatioa any If he is
beaten a result which some local
fans predict. However, it must
be remembered that Akers has
not! yet lost a fight in the local
. ring. ;
From present indications, the
Irish will hare a big night Wed
nesday, for it's possible there will
i , be three Kellys on the card. Bob
Kelly, of -course, meets Dare Mc
Rae. Bob's younger brother has
been working out recently, and
, promises to be one of the best
crowd pleasers among the local
boys. , .
Then there is Buzzsaw Kelly, a
local fighter who mixed with Russl
Greene at Valsetz last Tuesday
night, getting a draw. Buzzsaw
will meet Pat Haley of Indepen
dence.' An opponent for Bob's
younger brother hasn't been se-
lected.
Word was received by Match
maker Plant Monday from Tom
'Medley who has-been Teddy Fox's

would arrive in Portland today,
-staying there to witness ' a fight

. Wonder if a Toice raised on
behalf of better officiating at
athletic contests in Oregon
would do any good? Over in
the sparsely settled, non-athletic
minded sections of eastern
Oregon, there might be some
excuse for poor officiating,- but
there's none in western Oregon,
where every town is fall of for.
mer college athletes who are
still up" on all phases of sport.
And yet listen to what happen
ed in Astoria Saturday. This Is J
no alibi for the Salem high team,
which was more or less outclass
ed 'by the heavy and experienced
Fishermen. Moreover, the story
comes not from the Salem high
coach nor any membetl of his
team, but from a spectator: s
Salem won the -toss at the.
opening of the game and chose
to receive. Astoria kicked, off,"'
baf the man who came running
at the ball from directly behind
it didn't kick; instead, a man
rair.e from over to one side and
shunted the ball short dis
tance where an Astoria player
fell on it. Astoria was award
ed possession. . . .
All of which would- have been
perfectly proper if the ball had
traveled ten yards forward. That
rule is perfectly definite, and has
been in the book ever since we
can remember. But Astoria high
had evidently worked out some
strategy, and had taken the trou
ble to write to Sam Do lan about
it, though what his answer was
didn't appear in the case. . The
officials said Sam had ruled It
was O. K., but didn't have the
letter to prove it; that letter had
somehow become misplaced.
It all sounds very well to
urge, schoolboys to take what
ever decisions are handed them,
but the right way to build re
spect among the athletes for
the officials and their rulings,
is to have efficient,'- unbiased
officials. In collegiate circle,
there is organization along this
line;- among the high schools of
Oregon, at least outside of
Portland,-there is none. There
should be. '
It's too common a thing, when
one visits the various cities in the
Willamette valley, to hear that a
team visiting such-and-such
town, can't expect to get a square
deal. Salem ought to.be too big
a city to have that said about lt
nevertheless, we've heard It.
Complaints of that kind are
Jieard more often in, the basket
ball season than in the football
season, , because the crowd can
come nearer knowing the facts
of the case In basketball ; grant
ing that he knows' the'Ales, a
spectator can tell better than
the referee whether, a foul has
.been committed In a basketball
game. In football. It taken
glaring example like the above
to arouse. comment.
Athletic contests iyT supposed
to be builders . ot character. - and
they surely fail or that virtue If
they're won unfairly orif any at

ly. We really believe such things
are extremely rare, but not rare
enough. . Inefficient arbiting Is
much more common. '
Occasionally one finds an out
standing example of unbiased
officiating on the part of ar
home town official. One time
a visiting basketball coach
hunted us up, because he. was a
Willamette man and heard we
had attended there too, and told
us he had been warned that he
couldn't expect a square - deal
in that town. We told hint
that was all wrong, but that one
of two referees proposed would
be stricter than the other.
It so happened that the Jess
strict of the two his name would
be recognised by hundreds of
readers" if we mentioned it was
chosen.. All went well until the
last minute of play, when the
score was tied at ten all it was
that kind of game. At that point
our friend the referee called a
foul on the home learn it was
none too obvious a foul either
and. the visitors converged for the
winning point. That coach, whose
name would also be recognized by
hundreds , of Salemites, was man
enough to wadmit that he had
listened to a. lot pf misinforma
tion.

predicament and disdaining the
offers of fellow naval officers to
act as his counsel, Lieut. Harold
Wilson .Northcutt, listed as miss

in custody here tonight.
Northcutt was discovered by

brought to the Puget Sound navy
yard here for further orders.
Admiral H. K. Zeigmeler, com
mandant of the yard, into whose

The pair obtained a suite at her
place last Monday, but gave no

She thought they were man and

Sidelnies
By BRIAN BELL
A closed season may have to be
established for baseball experts,
particularly in New York." Playing
losing game at guessing the
identity of Connie Mack's world
series pitchers, the experts went
home and suggested every name
but the right one for the Yankees
manager.
Bob (The GOB) Shawkey, who
made red sleeves fashionable as
a part of baseball uniforms, was
regarded as a rank outsider as the
successor of the late Miller Hug-
gins, but Jacob Ruppert. whojiad
the last say, said Shawkey, so
clearly and distinctly that no one
within hearing distance of his
presidential voice could doubt thatJer toward his own goal that cost
Shawkey was the new manager of
the Yankees.
Pitchers who have been gradu
ated to the managerial office are
rare but there is precedent on the
New York American league club
for the move from pitchers' mound
to the No. 1 seat on the bench.
Clark Griffith and the late Bill
Donovan were good pitchers and
good managers.
Shawkey is a modest ball play
er who probably never thought of
himself as manager of the team
until the subject was brought up
by President Ruppert.
Shortly after Huggins' death a
newspaper writer asked Shawkey:
"Who's in charge of the team?"
The Yankees were playing at
Washington at the time! "Nobody
in particular," was the reply.
Well," a the writer persisted,
Somebody 1 must be in charge.
Who's running It?" "No, nobody
in particular," Shawkey repeated.
Dan Howley, new manager of
the Cincinnati Reds, heard from
nis national league inenas mac
the team he will manage In 1930
nestled a 'punch." This elusive
quality In baseball Is represented
by batting, heavy, timely and In
quantity. Knowing the American
league and. suspecting that two
good hitters might be transferred
from one circuit to the other, Dan
asked his new owners to get Har
ry Hellmann from Detroit and Bob
Meusel from the Yankees. In Evar
Swanson, the Reds have one of
the fastest men In baseball, so the
new manager may have figured
that with such' a speed merchant
in center field he could dispense
with fleetness of foot In favor of
hard hitting in left and right. The
Reds may also gain a worth while
outfielder In Earl Webb, former
Chicago Cub, who was drafted
from the Pacific Coast league.
Efforts to have football officials
signal the reason for penalties
from the field of play seem to be
only partially successful. Some of
the referees have tried to com

BERKELEY, Cal. (AP)
Roy Riegels, the big center of the
University of California Bears
who ran Into the front sports
pages with his famous about face
gallop last New Year's day, would
just as soon have discussion of
the matter dropped but try and
do it. Naturally, the 75-yard can-
California an 8-7 defeat by
Georgia Tech, is a subject that
Riegels doesn't wax enthusiastic
about.
The blond boy realizes that he
can't live down one of the great
est "boners" in football history.
But if fighting spirit, a pair of
broad shoulders, and youthful op
timism have anything to do with
It, Roy will be one of the shining
lights of Pacific coast football In
1929.

psychological effect of the blunder

You can't rflake a University of

For that Is the nickname of the
Varsity football team. And Razor

The Arkansas Razorbacks step,

prominence last year by finishing
as runnersup In the Southwest
conference. Texas won the title.
The team's unusual moniker
was created 20 years ago in the
time of the original Arkansas ra

The 1929 edition of the Razor
