U (AP) The jinx of heavy colds still hovered oyer the University of Southern California Trojan grld sters today as they were sent through another secret practice for the Rose touranment clash at Pasadena New Year's day. Larry Stevens, regular right guard, did not appear in suit. while Orrille Mohler, Tom Mal lory and Ernie Smith, others of the first team, were not in the best of shape as Coach Howard Jones sent the team through fur ther defensive work against the Taunted Tulane aerial attack. The team will disband for Christmas, hut returns for active training Saturday, probably mov ing to Pasadena early next week. PASADENA, Calif.. Dec. 24. (AP) Tnlane's touchdown tore adors, who must show cause for their claim to national football honors in the Rose tournament game here New Year's day with the University of Southern Cali fornia, settled down to the serious business of preparation today. Coach Bernie Bierman Bent the Green Wave rolling through a se cret practice at Tournament park. It was generally assumed most of the afternoon was given over to defense against the famous Tro jan power thrusts. Captain Jerry Dalrymple, all American end who suffered a kid ney bruise in the Washington State game appears to be getting along well and should be fit for the fight, January 1. John Read, substitute center, sporting a pair of crutches, is not expected to get into action at all. Coach Bierman consented to a Journey to Hollywood today. The team had its glimpse of movies in the making and screen stars in their makeup. The team was brought back to the quiet of its hotel for lunch eon, and given an hour of rest be fore the burdensome business of football was thrust upon it again. Tulane officials announced probably fifteen hundred Tulane followers would be here for the contest at the Rose Bowl.

(AP) When mine shafts in the old eouthside Iract near here were reopened, owners had trouble finding 250 "hard rock" miners to take out the lead and tine ore. FOUR RE6ULHRS 1H POOR SHRPE Impeding Rematch is Demanded by Alumni; Broken Hoop Not Alibi but Game is Likely "We want another chance at the'bigh school." states the al umni team, and "We'd just as soon play," answer th Salem high men. The annual alumni high school, game Wednesday night ended prematurely due to a misfortune and a full game was not played. Both teams are agreeable to an other game and it will probably be arranged for next week. In the first contest, the alumni team did not get organized at the start, but waj gaining ground when the contest ended. Anyway It is not really a game unless the full time is played. This game Is an annual affair and to let mat ters rest as they are, would put somewhat of a kink in the record. Coach Hollis Huntington did not have time to try out all the players he wanted to. He is not a bit satisfied with the team he has and states that, it might be changed radically. Lately he has bjen scrutinizing the B squad in an effort to pick up some men who might bolster his A squad. Two of the most promising at present are Bowden and Engle. Bowden is big and is a good shot. He has' played fair TO OJIRT COMMENTS CURTIS Merry Christmas! We hope all you young fellows found footballs, basketballs, base balls, baseball mitts, tennis rack ets and golf clubs in your stock ings. Merry Christmas again! "Robin Reed, welterweight c h a m p 1 on of the world." Sounds pretty good, doesn't it. And he's going to wrestle Er nie Arthur here Tuesday night the first time a real, sure enough officially recognized world champion will ever have grappled in the armory, as far as oar recollection goes. Robin was in town Thursday on his way home to Reedsport from Portland and told us all about it. The same old Robin, only Just a little leaner and grimmer looking from staying at 145 pounds, the welter limit, for several months in succession. But Robin isn't kick ing about the weight; he declares it's in his favor because most of the boys squeezing down into this division from 164 or 158, can't stay down there and do their best over a period of months. Robin managed it and that's why he's on top. The tournament to iron out the welterweight division was sponsored by the Midwest Wres tling association in conjunction with some 24 local commis sions. Jack Reynolds, the for mer champion, was invited in and refused; was invited to meet the man selected through this elimination and refused again. So the association de clared the title vacant and be stowed it upon the tournament winner, Robin Reed. Robin wrestled something like 68 bouts, winning all but three which were short ones and ended in draws. He Wrestled all over Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia and New Jersey. If a match was close the same men were rematched again somewhere else, to guard against flukes, and the boys did a lot of traveling. ill I B Ml ti Merry Christmas WELLER HARDWARE & PAINT CO. 428 Court Street !tim FIRESTONE ONE -3 f$ nn 1 ball for a long time, but baa been slow about taking advantage of the fast breaks and speedy work required In good offense. However Huntington bellevea that maybe be has now hit his stride, and he may e used some. Engle is still yjung, but Is com ing along in fine style and ap pears to have a lot of natural ability. Huntington wants men who are outstanding for speed, size or shooting ability. Engle has the speed and might also become a good shot. Bowden is big. Some of the men on the team at the present time are neither ex tra sneedv nor extra large. He intended .to try Bone at center the other night and use Kelly at for ward to see h.w he would work. Kelly is speedy and elusive and Is also a good shot. The Florsheim players might be available for the next game and Huntington will not kick if they play. However he believes it would be a better game and more fun for the graduates to stick rather closely to the bunch they used before. Th alumni men in dicated that they could do that and perhaps take Foreman, who played Just last year at the high school. Sometimes, Robin says, It cost him money to wrestle, counting the traveling expenses. The belt Robin has in his possession, emblematic of the title, is quite a valuable belt as it Is, and later on it will have a $3000 diamond placed in it. The association, however, holds certain strings on the belt and it can't be put up here and there regardless. Five percent of the receipts of any match for the belt go to the associa tion to defray costs of the tour nament and purchase of the belt. Robin has the belt but has given bond for Its safe keeping. It Is regarded as a sort of public trust. "Do you know more wrestling than you did before going after this championship?" we asked Robin. "I know less," was his prompt reply. "I've found it wise to for get a lot some flashy stuff that used to get me in trouble. I've be come more conservative. Ernie Arthur was in that tournament too and was consid ered one of the five leaders, , Robin says. Dee Anderson, an other grappler weU known in Salem, was in the tourney too, and appeared brilliant at times but wasn't consistent. 4-H CLUB WORK PAYS GASTONIA, N.

PUPILS GET REVENGE e Tables Turned With TEACHERS Shortly before the holidays, a number of men and women who seek to teach In Marlon county gathered In a far corner in the county courthouse. And if little and big boys and girls could have seen the "head scratching" and frowning that went on at various moments, it would have done their hearts a heap of good. In fact, over the boys' and girls' faces broad grins would have ap peared: for the teachers were writing exams exams similar only adopted for instruction to those which boys and girls worry about when they are about to fin ish the eighth grade. 'Course some of the questions Billy could answer. For instance, in arithmetic. The boys at a school form circu lar race track 79.6 feet across, Find the length of the race track, the circumference being 3.1416 times the distance across. Try that one on your Dad, kiddies.

Who but a teacher would know what a "diagnostic test" is? Any way, that is another of those ques tions in arithmetic. Whew! Isn't this a big ques tion? What Is a person?
