Th OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Tuesday Morning, December IS, 193t PAGE EIGHT Eon on Grid of JffiT PRICES ;T0 BE REDUCED Little Done or Forecast on Eligibility Problems; Practice Earlier Battle of the Fountain Pens Br HARDIN BURNLEY i i aImiiukaii i rirnffr o.n i ., ' y illinium! i w iiiftiii SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14 (AP) Voting to bar newspaper photographers from the fields hereafter and expressing unani mous sentiment for a reduction of ticket prices in 1932, repre sentatives of the ten members of the Pacific coast conference open ed their three day annual winter meeting here today in sensational fashion. All agreed prices next season should be reduced, but left actual arrangements to the Individual members. Football photography came in for much attention. In addition to removing news photographers and other cameramen from the field, and placing them in special platforms in the Btands, the rule against moving picture scouting was reaffirmed, and provision made whereby any university taking pictures of its own team in a game, must provide the op ponent with a duplicate film. Commercial news real compan ies were limited to "short sub jects." Radio Broadcast Fate Known Today The fate of radio broadcasting at conference games may be known tomorrow when a commit tee named today issues its report following a study of the problem tonight. The committee is head ed by Earl Campbell, Uniiversity of Washiington, and includes Al fred R. Masters, Stanford; Steve Cunningham, U. C. L. A., and Hugh Rosson, Oregon. While no rule can be passed, policy may be crystalized, delegates said. Eligibility came up for discus sion in the secret session of fac ulty representatives, but little was accomplished. Minor chang es were made in eligibility record forms, and further clarification of the rule governing amateur status was suggested. No action was taken on the latter subject and whether it would b: given attention later was not revealed. Jonathan Butler, conference commissioner employed to make a year's investigation of athletic conditions, was present at the session, but William B. Owen, Stanford, president of the con ference, said he was not called on for a report. Early in the day the rule gov erning the opening of fall prac tice was revised to permit unre stricted practice t o weeks be fore the last Saturday in Septem her. Heretofore organized prac tice has been banned until Sep tember 15. The rule permits members to schedule two games in September. Under the regula tion, workouts will start Septem ber 10 next year. Restrictions were placed on earlier conditioning of athletics however, and athletic depart ments will not be allowed to is sue football equipment of any kind before that date. An at tempt to prohibit conference games In September fell through.

Great Bmata rights reserve1. A DRAMA of the fountain pen, which threatens to out drama that epic, wordy af fair staged at St. Petersburg in the Spring of 1930, will shortly have its premiere much to the delec tation of baseball enthusiasts. Those two thespians, Babe Ruth and Colonel Ruppert, who starred in the 1930 show, are brushing up their lines for the coming argu pardon the coming presentation. Bambino is facing a tough assignment. It is a certainty that the Colonel is preparing to use the pruning knife on that $80,000 Ruthian salary. And the Babe is preparing just as assiduously, you may be sure, to keep that figure ntact. Yankee headquarters fired the 'irst shot in the salary cutting bat tle with the announcement that the Bambino's contract will not be given special handling this year. It will be sent along with those for the lesser lights of the Yankee team and it will contain some new clauses one being all important. "Then," said Ed Barrow, secretary of the club, "if Ruth doesn't like it there will be plenty of time for conferences." In view of the Babe's advancing years Colonel Ruppert will surely try to hold his star to a one-year contract, and at the same time make him see the wisdom of a sal ary cut. His big argument in try ing to put over the idea with Babe is the depression and the proposed general cut in baseball salaries in all leagues. These will give him a strong talking point. But the Bambino doesn't recognize this talk about his "getting old" and he's not particularly interested in the economic situation, except, of course, where it applies to his own particular purse-strings. On the Coast, where Ruth re cently wound up a barnstorming tour and then did a few movie shorts, the Big Fellow pointed to his excellent physical condition and his record during the 1931 sea son. These are the things with which he hopes to counter Colonel Ruppert's best arguments. The Babe looks ahead to two more years as a big-time star and then retirement to a managerial berth if there's one around. Right now he is interested in continuing his quest of home-runs as a Yan kee "two-year" man and at top pay! Well, from where we ait, it looks as if it's going to be a good show!

There will be little weight dif ference between the two contes tants. Dr. Karl Sarpolis continues to wrestle and continues to deliver the goods and win most of his matches. For several years Sar polis' name has carried a big wrestling reputation and while he is not so heavy as some of the big' boys, his skill has en abled him to topple many of the largest. Matchmaker Harry Plant states that the pass list will be waived for this match as "Every 'guy and his dog" have been ''crash lng" the gate to many of the matches here which proves to be a factor disastrous to the success of the shows. 11 H 1 STfF PLAY The Santiam basketball league will launch its season this week. with the first games Wednesday night, Turner playing at Mill City and Gates at Stayton.

SEJ1U OPENED Presbyterians Spring First Surprise by Beating Baptist Quintet The Church league launched its 8 0-game season Monday night,, with more than nsual indications of a successful year in that both of the games played were closer than early contests usually nave been In the past. Presbyterians' 14 to 10 victory over First Baptist was something of an npset, with the performance of Pense at guard for the Presby terians a notable factor. First Congregational defeated First Christian 32 to 18, Thomas of the winners engaging In a scoring du el with Bruce Cooley of the losers but getting better support. The United Brethren-Temple Baptist game was postponed. Fri day night Jason Lee will play First M. E., Evangelical will play Frnitland and American Lutheran will play Hayesvllle.

The girls will enter this pro gram also. Miss Trevett, girls' physical education teacher, has organized a similar schedule and will have the class teams play on the same night that the boys play. There will be something like 63 games in all played this winter. including the high school varsity games. Boys playing on the varsity or class B teams will be ineligible to compete on the class teams. This program is in keeping with the wish of Superintendent Ryan, that more emphasis be placed on home sports rather than on outside games. It Is expected that every boy in the school, and some not In the school itself, will have com peted in at least twg sports by the close of the school term. Interest and class spirit are run ning high, but with the varsity playing outside games the loyalty of the entire school will be on one side at least once a week, and class spirit will not change to bit ter rivalry. TULANE BOSS Carpenters End in Lead ;5Shop League iiHBMAWA, Dec. 14. The close or. the Shop league basket dih tournament came with the Carpenters heading the list. This tournament was run off by the elimination process and made for very Interesting games because the boys realized that a defeat would put them out of the run ning. The Fanners were runners up to the Carpenters, but were not quite strong enough to keep Vivette and Grenler from scoring winning points. Asa preliminary to the Farm er-Carpenter game, the Advisors and Shoemakers played a close xame to determine the winner of thirdK place, with the AdvlsoTS winning. A silver loving cup will ne given the Carpenters to hold ior year, and try to keep long er. An Interclass round robin tour nament starts tonight as the next atep in the intramural.' program. All classes will compete, frost the 'COT" COMMENTS if V.; v. , -4 "-tf iw." 4 I V s The responsibility and distinction of coaching a team with 100 mi cent record for wins thja year, falls on the broad shoulders of Ted Cox ( above), new head coach at Tulane University. Cox. formerly a star tackle at Minnesota, served the New Orleans varsity as line coach under Bernie Bierman, and on the tatter's leaving Tulane for Minne sota Cox has been ep pointed to his .. I position. All the fireworks that were predicted for the Coast confer ence meeting in San Francisco seem to have been lacking the first day, or if any were shot off, the smoke was carefully wafted away before the report ers were admitted to the coun cil chambers. Ordinarily perhaps secrecy might be a good thing for a meet ing of that kind, but when there are mighty and all-important questions to be answered, it would seem, "open covenants openly ar rived at"- would be the better policy. A vast army of fans in the northwest want to know, now that one "semi-pro" youth has been declared Ineligible, wheth er there are any other boys on conference teams who have re ceived money and what's to be done with them If there are. It's pretty general opinion .that every football squad In the con ference contained some players Jnst as Ineligible as Joe IJllard of Oregon. The fans want to know If Jonathan Butler found that oat and Is recommending that all games be declared for feited. That Is, the fans want to hear the answer bnt they know It already. Slats Gill, a home town boy who made good, has a new Idea for speeding up basketball but he won't try it out when he brings the Oregon State boys here Sat urday. Oh, his boys will probably show some super speed, but that's another story. Gill's idea Is to have an um pire sitting up with the scorers and marking down personal fouls, and when s man has four of them, that man comes out and the last man foaled gets a free throw. The referee would stop the game only for technical foubj or held ball, or for Inten tional fouls roughing and the HKO. we're not saying it wouldn' work. On the other hand basket ball Is a pretty strenuous game ana it would be more strenuous under such system as that: lust to the extent that Slats' plan aue- ceeaea m speeding it up. Slats Is in earnest about it and has submitted the idea to Doc Bohler of Washington State, northwest representative on the national rules commit tee, for submittal to that body. The Portland high school ath letic association has drawn up its basketball schedule and extended it to March 18, which means that it will conflict with the state tour nament if carried out "as is." The dates of .the state tourney are March 16 to 19. Perhaps Portland figures the state association will change its arrangements to con form to Portland's schedule. Woodburn City Hoopsters Led By A. Schooler WOODBURN. Dec. 14. A city basketball team has been organ ized here, with Adrian "Casey" Schooler as leader of the group Other members of the team are Walter B om ho ff, Harry Sims. La Verne Schooler, Matthew Mochel, Emerson Baldwin and Harold Schooler. The team members are basketball players of good repu tatlon, and will probably turn in several good games this season AH of them are graduates of the local high school. Several games' have already been scheduled. Among them are contests with the Wranglers of Salem, the Willamette university freshman team, and possibly the Willamette varsity. BAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14 (AP) Maintaining a steady al though decidedly not spectacular pace, Wiffy Cox, of Brooklyn, took the measure of George Von Elm, Los Angeles "business man" golfer, 6 and 5 today to win the 36-hole finals of the $7500 na tional match play open cham pionship. The tall campaigner from the east, who won the last north and south open title and was a mem ber of the American Ryder cup team, started out today with a 5 up lead on the second half of the match, postponed from yesterday because of rain. His lead was never threatened At the end of the first nine today, the 27th hole of the match, Von Elm had won back a hole to cut his opponent's lead to 4 up. Cox made it 5 up again at the 29th and clinched the match on the Slst, with a par 5 to Von Elm's 6 The Willamette university bas ketball team is beginning to take shape with the first game of the season scheduled for tomorrow night against the Price Flor3helm team. Following the Florsheim game, Coach "Spec" Keene will cut his squad to 16 players he announ ces. Though he has not made fin- I decision as to which men will remain, he has tentatively select ed 10 of the last year's men and six freshmen to carry. Those named now are Moore, Hartley, Scales, Benjamin, Kloo- stra, Faber, Kaiser, Carpenter, Griffith and Burdette, all former players here on .either varsity or freshman squads; and Connors, Allen, Reike, Kitchen. Mahan and Lemon from the freshman class. He also Indicated that George Erickson might also be carried on the varsity squad, but he might decide to have him play on Sparks' freshman team where he would get more playing expert ence. Oregon City at Chemawa Fridays- Injuries Listed CHEMAWA, Dec. 14 Oregon City comes to Chemawa to play the first of a two game series, on Friday. Dec. 18. Oregon City has a strong quintet and should giro Chemawa no end trouble. The Linfleld freshmen, last week, played the type of game which showed the Indians off to good advantage and so the squad is as yet an unknown and untested one. Two potential regulars will be missing from the squad: Dog- eaele. because of doctor's orders and Russel Bobb who is under a SO day suspension from Principal Christy. GRAPPLERS AID JOBLESS , - J .i - With the championship within his grasp George Calxa, of Italy, If shown using every ounce of pressure he can bring to bear to turn Jim Londos (bottom), the champion, and pin his shoulders to the mat. But to the accompaniment of many audible evidences of physical suf fering Londos broke free and turned the tables, nailing his challenger in 44 minutes, SI seconds, to retain the mat title. Match was fought tut at Madison Square Garden, New York, and proceeds went ta aid unemploTed. The plan is to have a freshman varsity team which will be used in either freshman contests or var sity tilts. This freshman five would alternate with the regular freshman outfit under Sparks. Tne varsity team wblch was tried Monday included Scales and Faber at forwards, Kloostra cen ter and Carpenter and Kaiser guards. While not the tallest com blnatlon possible, much height and size is embodied in this line up and both guards are big. Kloo stra is also slightly the best jumper on the squad. Moore and Hartley are being used as another combination of guards and work well together m 1 . , iney are particularly good on offense from the guard position. A real contest is anticipated when Willamette meet the Flor siieim outfit at the Willamette gymnasium Wednesday night. The snoenien are conceeded a slight edge to win due to the Tact that they have already played seven games while It will be the first for the Bearcats. S. . S. . S. . Referee, Gribble.

Wood, Jr., 19-year-old member of the team in an attack on its captain. Samuel Hardy. Wood, answering a recent art! cle by Hardy In which the latter suggested Wood was hardly of International calibre and should not be considered for the team next year, charged the captain with severely criticising him dur ing his match with H. W. (Bun ny) Austin, instead of encourag lng him. "Had you been in the locker room of the stadium Roland Gar ros in Paris during the rest per-' lod of my match against Austin (Austin two sets, I one)" Wood wrote to the editor of the mag asine Tennis, "and overheard my captain telling me, with a lack of control surely to be regretted in one supposed to lead and en courage his players, that I was no good, that I looked like fool on the court and that I had no chance to win had you heard all this, you would understand why I can employ invective to ward my former captain."

O , O MAY DIE ir STATE'S PROPERTY TAX $2,184,615.43 Consists Entirely of Levy For Elementary Schools Commission Reports Oregon's state property tax levy for 1932, based on property valuations for 1931, Is $12,185, 614.43, and Includes only the ele mentary school tax, according to announcement made Monday by the state tax commission. The tax rate for the year 1932 was fixed by the commission at two mills. Marlon county's levy is $104, 417.73. Polk's is $35,651.71. The records show that the state property tax levy for 1931, based on the property valuations for the previous year, was $6,842,949.09, including the elementary school tax which is retained by the coun ties for the support of the schools. The tax rate for the year 1931 approximately six on one-half mills. A comparison of the state prop erty tax levies for the years 1931 and 1932 shows a savin e- nf $4,592,627.91 for next year. Mem bers of the state tax commission said this saving: was made pos sible through the elimination of certain fixed tax levies and a ma terial increase in receints. Im portant among the tax obligations eliminated for the year 1932 wa3 the one-mill market road lew. which raised In excess of $1,125,- 000 annually. This law was re pealed by the 1931 legislature. An additional $550,000 was saved through waiver of the one-half milk tax levy for the support of the world war veterans state aid commission. The total requirements for 1932, exclusive of the elementary school tax, but including the de ficit of $2,663,028.26 amount to $9,978,712.26. Receipts from rev enue laws, including the intangi bles, personal income and corpor ation excise tax acts for 1932, were estimated at $3,504,100.99. The surplus from these laws for 1931 was estimated at $869,060. Receipts from sources other than the revenue laws In 1932 were es timated at $2,554,000. The total value of taxable prop erty in the state, including that equalized by the county board of equalization and that equalized and apportioned by the state tax commission, decreased from $1,- 125.160,592.37 In 1930 to $1,192,- 807.Z15.08 In 1931. The valua tions for 1931 were used In cal culating the 1932 tax levy. Mar ion county's total Is $49,114,441. The county property valuations for 1931 showed a decrease of ap proximately $35,000,000, when compared with those for 1930. The utility valuations increased slightly more than $2,000,000. Ironic fate played its part In the Injury through which John Szy manski, Fordham University grid star, is lying in a critical condition In Fordham, N. Hospital.
