Frank Riggi used a short left
to the jaw last night to prove to
Earl Beebe that if anybody Is go
ing to claim the heavyweight
championship of Oregon it won't
be Beebe.
Riggi, the 186 pound Italian
fighter from Brooks, climaxed a
main event that was his all the
way by letting Beebe, 190 pound
er from Woodland, Wash., have a
final taste of powerful left that
was good for a decisive knockout
in the sixth round. Beebe had
had the left on his chin and bad
ly cauliflowered ear plenty be
fore that hut Riggi put all his
body in the punch that finally
fold the stocky Washington boy
among the daisies. He stayed
among the daisies about fire min
utes before he groggily came to.
Riggi, showing greatly improv
ed ring generalship and punching
heavily, rarely sw'nging, with
hard rights and lefts, carried the
fight right to Beebe's door right
from the start.
Knockdowns' Frequent
The first round -was only a
shade in Riggi's favor as ihe two
heavies felt each other out but
in the second the Italian opened
up a fast and furious attack that
had Beebe on bis knees once in
every round but one after that.
Raining right and left hooks to
Beebe's head and throwing in an
occasional- uppercut in tue clinch
es Riggi had the Washington
fighter breathless and groggy in
the fourth. He had difficulty in
putting him in cold storage im
mediately, however, as Beebe
showed a tremendous ability to
stand up under Riggi's power
house blows.
In the fifth Beebe started a
short lived comeback and got in
a lew good blows Defore Riggi
backed away and let him have it
some more. The sixth was short
and snappy, Riggi going to work
with a purpose and pounding
Beebe about the ring with a
shower of blows before pulling
out the left jab ticketed for the
knockout.
Hayes Stops Cooper
wes Hayes, 180 pound negro
boxer from xOrtland, showed
speed and cleverness in winning
the first section of the double
main event with a knockout blow
in -the second round of. his fight
with Tiny Cooper, 181 pound
Hubbard fighter. The punch that
put Cooper out for the count was
so fast many fans didn't see any
thing but Cooper falling to the
canvas with a thud. The blow
that the Hubbard boy walked into
was a right cross, following uP
a hard left to the head.
Kid Thornier, 134. Silverton,
took a decision from Melvin Sor
relL 138, Salem, in the sixth
round semi-final. Thornley- was
the aggressor most of the time in
a fight that aw lots of leather
thrown. Fans booed when the
referee, confusing the names of
the two fighters, first announced
the decision of the judges as for
Sorrell.
Prelims Are Fast
Bobby Ribbons, 131. Albany,
knoeked out Charley White, 138.
Portland, ia the second round of
a four round preliminary. Gib
bons, showing speed and heavy
punching power, did the work
with a right to the heart.
Leonard Wolfer, 133, Hubbard,

took a ..draw after a fast fight
that saw much leather traded.
Alva Anderson, 144, Scio, gain

Gridiron Scoring
.Changes Opposed
NEW YORK; Jan. 17.-GP)-A
rousing chorus of "noes" today
greeted the proposal for a new
football scoring system involving
the abolishment of the try for ex
tra point, the award of a point for
each first down and a live minute
overtime period to break ties.
Football coaches in all parts of
the country, polled by the Asso
ciated Press, vetoed' the idea with
emphasis and by a 9 to 1 margin.
Their opposition to other propos
ed rules changes, including re
turn ot the goal post to the goal
line was less pronounced.
Judging from current reaction,
there is no chance whatever that
the rales-makers win tinker with
the scoring system when they go
Into annual session at Palm
Springs. California, February 14.
Coaches for the most part rid
lculed the scoring proposal and
Insisted it would rob the game of
Us present-day thrills by putting
emphasis again on the old "rock
'em and sock 'em" style of play.

A last-half spurt gave the South

to 21 victory over Willamette unlr
versity of Salem here tonight.
The Northwest conference visit
ors were out in front 13 to 7 at
halftime but close checking and
an avalanche of baskets allowed
the Normal five to chalk up the
win.
Willamette took the lead early,
maintained it at to 6 in the
middle of the first halt when the
Sons mentor sent in a new aggre
gation, and kept It throughout the
first period. Brandon's basket to
bring the score to 1J ended the
first half.
Mullen's free throw placed the
score at 14 to 7 at the start of
thesecond period but a Normal
rally put the hometeam ahead a
few minutes later. The Sons ran
the score to 18 before Willamette
scored again. Hardy, Leavens,
Walton and Schopf contributing
to the spurt. Two last-minute bas
kets by Anton and a free throw
by Manning were not quite
enough to give the visitors the
victory.

Betting Scandal
ete Fizzle
NEW YORK, Jan. 17,-Vrhe
betting "scandal" which' for tour
days has rocked the New York
' state athletic commission, blew up
with a bang today.
Nat. Fleischer, editor of The
Ring, a boxing magazine, admit-
, ted at a hearing he could not pro
duce proof of &is accusations that
Louie Beck, chief inspector for
the commission, had associated
, with gamblers in New York, fight

WITH the winter Olympic
games scheduled for the
middle of next month and
the big league hockey season in full
swing, there is plenty of ice and
snow on the current sport menu.
The winter Olympics will see a
sterling band of American compe
titors, sure to give Finnish, Cana
dian and Scandinavian athletes a
real tussle for supremacy, despite
the fact that snow and ice are the
natural habitat of the last-named
nationalities.
Uncle Sam's figure skating cham
pions, Robin Lee and Maribel Vin
son, may not capture Olympic hon
ors when faced with such supreme
stars as Karl Schaefer and Sonja
Heme, but they are sure to give a
grand account of themselves and
must be conceded a real chance for
championship honors.
Speed skating, in which United
States athletes have always done
well, will feature such flashing
skaters as Eddie Schroeder, Allen
Potts, Del Lamb, Bob Peterson and
Leo Freisinger. Schroeder, espe
cially, will be a real-threat fox
Olympic honors.
The American Olympic hockey
team has quite a few supporters
among qualified critics, who believe
that the United States amateur ice
men have improvedto the point
where they can end Canadian
hockey supremacy in the forthcom
ing games.
Anyway, Old Man Winter will
really occupy the center of the sport
stage lor the next month or so, and
those of us who are lucky enoueh
to bask in the sunny climes of Flor
ida or California during the cold
season can read about the icy sports
without shivering.

Stadium tonight.
Thus, Louis, most murderousO
puncher since the days of Jack
Dempsey, scored his 23d knock
out. Retzlaff had to be helped to
his corner.
Retzlaff walked fearlessly into
Louis as the bell rang and threw
the first punch, a light left to
the head that missed. Louis stuck
a light left to the face and then
the lanky North Dakotan landed
the first hard punch, cracking
Louis with a right to the head
as he came tearing in.
The blow just missed the chin
and caused a sneer to creep over
Louis' otherwise "dead pan."
Keeps Boring In
The crowd was in a tremen
dous uproar at the courage dis
played by Retzlaff. Louis drove a
right to the head that was high,
and then Retzlaff drove three
rightsto the body. The bold Retz
laff continued the attack, driving
two rights to the head, forcing
Louis to the ropes.
As Louis moved to Ahe center
of the ring, he apparently had
decided to take no chances. He
drilled a smashing left hook to
the chin that floored Retzlaff.
The North Dakotan started to get
up at the count of three and then
fell back. He got to his feet at
the count of seven, but his legs
were rubbery and he was badly
hurt. LrXs, seeing his toe In dis
tress, tore after him in a terrific
attack to the head and body.
Retzlaff backed Into the ropes,
but could not escape the terrific
punches of the relentless Louis,

Retzlaff withered cuickly un

was waved to a neutral corner, as
Retzlaff gamely attempted to
struggle to his feet.

the ringside spectators.
