Rift Looms, Bowl Row LOS ANGELES. Dec. 26-(yP)-Pasadena and Los Angeles are reaching a parting of the ways on New Year's football games. City Councilman Lee Warburton of Los Angeles told his fellow eouncilmen today he would introduce next week a resolution calling for a New Year's football game In the Los Angeles Me morial coliseum "between the two best teams In the United States." The council, individually and collectively, reacted with con siderable feeling against a statement by UCLA officials that the council got free passes to the Rose Bowl game between UCLA and Illinois. Councilman John Holland said the council neither asked nor got favors from UCLA. Warburton said Los Angeles should have Its own New Year's game, not limited to the champions of the Big Nine and the Pa cific coast conference, but open to the two outstanding teams of the nation. "And we'll get 'em out here, too," he added. L Foxes Ousted, TLnvite9 Meet HIGH SCHOOL Klamath Falls 92. Albany 23. St. Helens 33. Beaverton 17. Seaside bt. Silverton 43. Pasco (Wnl SI. Redmond 90.

Matchmaker Elton Owen announced last night that the popular ju-jitsu artist, a surprise participant on this week's card, will occupy no less than the main event rung on next Wednesday night show at the armory. Wednesday night, that is, instead of Tuesday so as to escape conflict with New Year's eve. Wily Walter will do his main eventing with Jack (Th Jaw) Lipscomb who. not unlike the Chinese trickster, intends un leashing a Northwest comeback which will take him right to the top of the heap and the fat purses waiting thereon. Achiu made known his comeback in tentions by telephone last night and, consequently, is in line for number of topnotch matches locally. Two other preliminary bouts will be announced later by Owen, and there is a possibility that a fourth mix may be added. Ducats re now on sale . at Maple & Keene's.
