(AP) Southern California's foot ball players 3 6 of them tented tonight Just above the Rose Bowl "battlefield, while their opponents from Pittsburgh were approach ing by train from their training camp at Tucson, Ariz. ia man In the street probably will regard the winner of Monday's game as the national champion. Southern California with a brief workout in the famous bowl tested the turf and atmospheric condi tions and found them about the same prevailing a year ago when the Trojans stopped the Green backs from Tulace, 21 to 1Z. Both Elevens are In Perfect Condition The western team was in per feet condition as it sought its fourth Rose Bowl victory, a rec ord no other team has had a chance to make. Pitt, too, with cine days' hard work in Tucson's Invigorating air, was reported fit as a fiddle and ready to score its first victory in three starts in the rose scented environment. The Trojans will pack a distinct weight advantage over the invading ran thers but supporters of the east ern outfit suggest clever manipu latlon of the forward pas3 attack may whittle Southern California down to Pittsburgh s size. Close followers of the Southern California team expect the visitors to complete some passes but th?y will be surprised if Coach Jok Sutherland's athletes are able to gain consistently through the pow erful line, personally coached oy HowarfftJones. No touchdown has been stored through the line against, the Pacific Coast confer ence champions all season. Passing Attack is Pittsburgh's Chance Pitt enthusiasts think that the eastern offensive will carry suf ficient threat to pave the way for come left hand passes from Mike Sebastian. The Trojans have been warned to watch Warren Heller, passing and running back, but they plan, too, to keep an eye on Sebastian. Both teams know how to use the kicking game as an of fensive weapon and the fans are primed for a punting duel between the well rated Bob Hogan for Pitt and Homer Griffith, Irvine War burton and Ford Palmer of South ern California. Comparatively little betting has been reported but Southern Cali fornia remained a favorite in the wagers noted, some odds being 2 to 1. The attendance may reach 7 5, 000 or more. It will not, however, equal the record-breaking crowd of last New Year's day when 83, 000 turned out.

PAY FOR ATHLETES FAILS OF APPROVAL NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 31. (AP) John A. Lang, University of North Carolina student, was elected president of the National Student federation at its final ses sion here today. A resolution favoring remuner ation fer coHoi-e football players for their services, adopted last night by a coir.mittce on athletics, was defeated tod; y by the general congres?. The resolution wa3 the project of William (tubus, All-America player and dtksute of Stanford j university, who proposed that ath letes be awa.J' d scholarships not to exceed iu value the cost of board, room and tuition at col lege. "If the remuneration of athletes Is standardized iu this way," Cor- bus said, "the bargaining power of all universities would be equal. We all know this thing Is being done, so why not come out In the open and make It a fair game? Orville Mohler, AH - American football player from Southern Cal ifornia, also sponsored the resolu tion. The congress adopted a resolu tion introduced by Mohler placing the federation on record as favor ing the help ofalumnl in provid ing work for athletes so they may go to college. It stipulates that no "alumni pressure should be brought to bear" as a Tesult, Attractive Wrestling Bill Starts Off New Year With More to Come, is Promise WOULD ALTER RULE Oil OUT-OF-BOUNDS VARIETY OF CRIES OCCUR In DECEMBER Promising some lively mat competition for Salem fans in the new year, with a number of noted grapplers reported to be heading in this direction, Match maker Harry Plant has announc ed that the year's bill will be led off by a card In which Chet Wiles and Sailor Franz, who fig ured In a lively tussle here a number of weeks ago, will be the headliners. They will grapple to a decisive conclusion, the matchmaker an nounces, with no time limit on their bout. Wiles has been grad ually gaining favor with ans here, after starting an avowed campaign in that direction. At one time he engaged In a bout here while not In the best of condition, and the fans turned thumbs down. When he first re turned last fall, not many fans bothered to turn out for the show, but they heard good re ports man, more of them "took a chance" the next time, and now he appears to b firmly estab lished In the good graces of the customers. Fans who saw the last bout between these two, know that Franz Is capable of giving Wiles plenty of competition. The opening bout of the ev ening promises to be something of a novelty. "House of David," otherwise known as the "whisk ered marvel," will make his first appearance here, meeting Ray Lyness who has wnstled In Sa lem a number of times. The bearded grappler is said to own no actual allegiance to the Pur nell sect, and is not a vegetarian. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 31 (AP) A change in football rules, designed, its advocates Bay, to eliminate numerous needless plays, was approved at the an nual meeting today of te Paci fic Coast and Rocky Mountain Football Coaches association.

The remain der of arrests were spread over a dozen different types of charge. December proved a busy month; on only five of the half-day shifts were no arrests -made.

GOULD NEW YORK, Dec. 31 (AP) The rewards and deficits, laurel wreaths and razzberrles have been well distributed for 1932 in the world of sport. Athletic leaders, amateur and professional alike, face the new year with their fingers crossed. They are hopeful. In many cases even optimistic, of a turn for the better, but their box-office prep arations, calculated to withstand the worst, do not carry the weight of much conviction. No matter what the competitive side develops, there will be dras tic retrenchment In every branch of sport. Ticket prices will be slashed further so that even an increase in cash customers in 1933 may not mean greater rev enues. Professional promoters and college graduate managers alike will be satisfied if they are able to hold the lines against further losses. Business conditions fast are wiping out real or Imaginary ob stacles to the reconciliation of the old rivals in college football. The 1931 season In the east will be marked by the resumption of Cor nell-Syracu3e, Dartmouth-Prince ton and Columbia-Pennsylvania relations. Harvard and Princeton are convinced the earlier they can heal their gridiron breach the bet ter. Notre Dame, even during depression a big money-maker and the greatest attraction on the college gridirons, tentatively has agreed to play California the mid- dle of next December to develop more revenue for both. The south ern conference has divided ranks, with business advantages, among other things, In view. Non-profitable sports such as college rowing will be csreclally hard hit. If not temjporariiy elim inated. Some leaders, including those at Pennsylvania and Syra cuse, have expressed doubt about the expediency of conducting the costly Poughkeepsie regatta In 1933. A year's "moratorium" on the Hudson, it is felt, might solve a big part of the athletic budget problem, and the stewards of the Intercollegiate Rowing association will soon be asked to consider this emergency.

The United States Lawn Tennis association expects to finance an other expensive Davis cup cam paign, however, and the Profes sional Golfers' association has the money to send its team over to England late in June for the Ry der cup matches. It is doubtful whether Great Britain's polo authorities will ex ercise their right to challenge in 1933 for the international cup. This competition was last held In 1930 and is already limited to mass meeting of rural phone users to be held at the cham ber of commerce at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning to decide what course shall be taken In the group's efforts to obtain a reduction In the S9 annual switchboard rate being charged to each subscriber.

Dec. 31 (AP) The trnlversitr of Georsrla football Schedule for next year was released tonight. The Bulldogs will play 10 games, including three with in tersection! foes, meeting New York university at Athens Octo ber 28, Tale In the Eli bowl on Armistice! day and Southern Call fornla at Los Angeles December Z. Salem high also came out sec ond best in basketball, the only sport in which there is a defin ite state championship, with As toria high grabbing the golden apple. In other sports, the red and black was, informally, quite farther down the list. Continuing the "second best" recital, the Salem American Legion Junior baseball team was second in the county, and the county team, sponsored by Woodburn, was second best in the state; a record for which no apologies are In order. Communities which have been accusing Salem of claiming too many championships, therefore, were forced to be quiet this past year. Salem was not, however, entirely bereft of titles. The Sa lem high golf team won first place in the state tournament; the Salem Y. M. C. A. volley ball team won the northwest ti tle and so did the Y. wrestling team. Everything considered, that portion of the public which takes to heart the community's athletic fortunes, lias no cause to be downhearted. Sports here weathered the depression in good fctyle; activities were ne cessarily curtailed but practi cally none were wiped out en tirely; the state basketball tournament was required to carry a heavier load than be fore, due to the change to 16 districts, but carried it suc cessfully, and that activity, the one in which Salem takes per- naps more pride than any oth er reached a new "high" even in this unfavorable year. O Prospects for the coming year are also bright; Salem high is going to be in a more favorable position in 193 3 than It was In 1932 in a number of sports; Wil lamette should maintain Its sat isfactory record In spite of grow ing competition in its conference; the sports industry here is In a generally healthy condition, with more persons each year engag ing in those forms of athletics which permit of general patronage.

Dec. 31 (AP) While the hand picked itars of a score of the country's gridirons romped through final brisk workouts today for the east-west game here Monday, the western forces were definitely in stalled as favorites to win the New Year's encounter, played annually for charity. Backers of the western cause bobbed up on all sides, the com mission marts reported, to make the west the favorite by varying odds, despite the wealth of all Amerlcan talent In the eastern lineup. Observers have been Impressed with the zip and dash shown by the westerners during the ten day practice program. The west also will have a decided pull In weight on the line, averaging some 197 pounds against 183 for the east. East Had Easier Time With System Most of the western player were unfamiliar with the coaching methods of Dana Bible of Nebras ka and Orln Holllngbery of Wash ington State when practice openf J but two workouts a day for a week apparently solved the prob lem. The eastern squad had no such handicap as about 12 of the grldders were already trained In the system followed by Coache Andy Kerr of Colgate and Dick Hanley of Northwestern. Coach Kerr said today the wesi team undoubtedly shaped up as a more powerful aggregation. "We also have a good team but If there is any advantage It belongs to the other side," he said. Coach Holllngbery said the out come of the game was a tossup. "Breaks probably will decide it," he said. "We haven't any al! Americans Just a bunch of strong boys trying to get by. But thty will be In there fighting and a this time it fooks like a whale of a game." HOOP SCORES Willamette 48, DeNeffe's 42. Notre Dame 29, Northwestern 33. Ohio Wesley an 51, Toledo S Johns 23.
