However, most iDort bugs do it in one form or other, and this one is no exception to the rule. So we start with tne little fellows, basing our. choices largely on performances within the last six months ox iv&y. The flyweights have no definite champion, but from trusted Pacific Coast reports the Sport Bug is assured that Pablo Dano, a Fili pino who has yet to box in the East, Is the class of the lot. He haa whipped Izzy Schwartz, Willie La Hortc and other topnotchers. When he comes East thi3 year, fans will see a Dano is "a Jimmy Wilde from Tancho Villa's land." In the tiny division, Frankie Genr.ro is rated second because of significant successes in Europe last year; Black Bill, third, he's a con sistent winner thus far; Willie Davics, fourth, as ho has recovered his stellar class since last Fall's de feat by Black Bill; and Speedy Dado, another Filipino, fifth. Kid Westfall of Sherwood, In the other. Bernie Knhn of Salem, and Ted Bechtel of Sherwood, will appear a six round semi final. Jimmie Stutsmar of St. Paul, and Floyd Ambrose of Salem, will stage a four round bout. A good curtain raiser will open the show.

As to the feathers, it is to be hoped that 1930 settles their dis puted championship. Battling Bat talino, of Hartford, Conn., won the title last Fall from the sadly washed-up Andre Routis on an honest enough decision, but manyjand the veteran Taylor is getting in regard that bout as "a managerial business deal." Bat had fought only one other important go (a point win over Al Brown) and the boys naturally smile when they think how easily he got that crack at the crown. The Sport Bug lists Battalino fifth among the feathers. Corr(M.. 1931. KJnc Feature Syndicate, Iml sin 4 L HAS PEPPY MEET SILVERTON, Jan. 16.

Of course, many fans rate Chocolate as' the real feather king, but the Sport Bug holds that he is not the genuine wonder his record indicates. He has an unbeaten core sheet only because we be lieve the officials erred in awardt ing victories to the glossy "Keed" when he was' actually outpointed by both Al Singer and Vidal Gre gorio last year. We predict that Earl Mastro of Chicago will rule the feathers be fore the year ends if given a title chance. At that, Bud Taylor all but stopped Earl recently during a thriller only to lose on a techni cal K. O. when hurt in plunging from the ring. Mastro is coming. his last brilliant licks.

Billy Reinhart used an even dozen men, as near as e could keep track, and we wouldn't be surprised if all of them were good players. The whole trouble was simply that they were up against a superior outfit. After that it will be difficult to get brk to ordinary fare, like Lin field and Pacific bat wait a while, those schools may show ns something. Away back in football season, we pointed out the difference be tween the small colleges' chances in football aud in tosketball it takes only six or seven good men to make a tough basketball team, and it takes several times that many to play college football as it's played nowadays.

That's none too pleasant a condi tion, because if one regular gets off form or is thrown out on fouls, things wiil be in a bad fix. Which is all the more reason why those regulars, even as good as they are, will have to get down to business and quit picking private quarrels while the game is under way. Wool growers of the state are holding their convention at The Dalles. We don't know of a more opportune time or place either. Judging from recent temperatures reported there.
