Title Yearning
Bomber Says He Was
Misquoted on Plans
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 7 -(V-
Soe Louis, '.retired heavyweight
oxlng . king, emphasized tonight
that for now, anyway, he has no
yearning for a crack at Ezzard
Charles' title.
A minor rhubarb blossomed in
the Louis camp today when Press
Agent Fred Sommers quoted the
frown Bomber as saying he might
consider boxing Charles for the
title next summer.
Louis is scheduled for an exhi
bition swing through South Am
erica between now and then. Som
mers is helping book some of
Louis' current exhibitions, v j
And, incidentally, Sommers also
bandies publicity for Charles.
"Fred had no reason to say I'm
going to make a comeback," Louis
declared tonight. "I'm not even
considering a bout with Charles."
.Sommers was listening in when
he said it.
Earlier today, Louis was quoted
as saying, "I don't have any plans
beyond this tour." .

Rebel Stars Decision Yanks, 22-13
TidweUTflt's
Biggest Star
' Auburn Ace Outshines
Touted Doak, Justice
By F. T. MaeFeely '
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 7
-W)t. Travis Tidwell spun a foot
ball web of passes that carried his
Rebel all- tars to a 23-13 victory
over the " Yankees in the Senior
bowl game today. -
Charlie Justice of . North Caro
Una and Doak Walker of Southern
Methodist lived up to their press
notices, but Tidwell -was even bet
ter. The little Auburn quarterback
who was named most valuable in
the Southeastern conference got
the same honor In this classy field
of all-America and all-conference
players from every section of the
nation. ,
Tidwell tossed 19 times to con
nect on 13 for an amazing gain
of 245 yards. End Art Weiner of
North Carolina teamed with Tid
well to make a great combination.
He fielded eight of those throws
for 139 yards. -
- The losing Yankees also had -a
great passing team in Paul Camp
bell, Texas quarterback, and Jim
Owens, Oklahoma end. Campbell
threw Z7 times hit on 18 for 147
yards.
Only 20,000 fans turned out to
see the all-stars star. But they got
a real show out of the 50 players.
Besides the aerial fireworks was
a demonstration of tough defen
sive line play by both walls.
Tackle Wade Walker of Okla
homa and Center Clayton Tonne
maker of Minnesota both all-
America, led a Yankee line that
held the Rebels to 46 yards by
rushing. The Yanks could run for
only 63 against a Rebel line that
was, tough from end to end.
The pass defense looked mighty
weak in comparison. But it wasn't
that nearly so much as the accura
cy with which Tidwell. Campbell
and Eddie Lebaron of College of
trio Pacific, could drop that ball in
the right spot.
Key kick returns by Justice, and
Doak Walker added to the thrills.
Walker started the Yanks off to
their first score with a runback
for 57 yards.
Justice opened the war to two
Rebel touchdowns. He went 28 to
begin the first drive and 29 to
start the last
Tidwel threw to Herb Rich.
Vanderhilt back, for sr 55 -yard
play that scored tho first rebel six
pointer. On fourth down he set
one in the arms of John O'Quinn,
Wake Forest end, for 13 yards and
the second. Another Tidwell to
Rich toss covered most of 33 yards
in the final touchdown march. Ed
die Price. Tulane fullback, scored
it with a one foot smackover.
Before the Rebels cot started,
the Yankees had their scoring fl
ing. Taking It from Walker's 57
yard runback, they moved 32 yards
In hurry. Lynn Chandnois. Michi
gan State, rammed over from the
four. Darrell Royal of Oklahoma
started the Yankees off to a 78
yard scoring march with a pass
interception. LeBaron threw to
Owens on a '46-yard scoring pass.

Northwest conference basketball

Coyotes tonight by winning 54 to

way In reversing last night's re
sults. Big Bob Pollard, Rod Downey

wasn't near enough to rival the 19

This n that, etc.:
Haven't heard of .any further
Kramer, Pancho Gonzales, Frank
local show, but Eugene gets em
for sure in a February 8 appear
ance in U of Oregon's McArthur
court Come to really think of it,
there isn't a place in Salem with
nearly enough seating space to
accommodate a pitch of that na
ture. Someone would drop a wad
of cabbage promoting the pros
here, and such "angels" are as
numerous as uranium mines in
our village ... After watching
WSC's six - foot - eight sopho
more Gene Conley operate against
the Oregon Staters fof33 points
in two nights, one finfs himself
wondering just how good the ba
by-faced giant will be 'when he's
a senior. Cougar Boss Jack Friel
opines the graceful Conley, is one
of the finest he's ever coached,
and Friel has had a potful of
goodies in his long career. The
WSC chief had best have a collection of assorted firearms also, for
Conley is a baseball pitcher who has every major league scout and
his uncle waving wads of that awful green stuff in his face . . . No.
1 comeback for 1950 in sports will be a cinch if Ben Hogan can re
gain anything at all resembling the form that made hi mthe country's
top golfer before his accident. Only thing that .would top if would be
Portland winning the PCL pennant. Which would also be 1950's ma
jor miracle . . . Oregon State made Its eastern basketball jaupt by
plane, Oregon via streamliner and Columbia came west in a strato
cruiser. But It was the Idaho Vandals who proved to be tho most
rugged lads of all when It came to the cross-country excursions. The
Vandals apparently trying to prove something even though you
might wonder what in: the world it could be, made their, swing
through, Laramie. WyoJ Ames, DesMoines and Sioux City, lav Lin
coln, Neb., Detroit, Mich, and Pittsburgh, Pa, via bus. The Harlem
Globetrotters have nothing, whatever on the Vandals, now truly the
nomads of the northern division ... Speaking of the Globetrotters,
they're supposed to make their first local appearance in years Janu
ary 20 in a mix with the Page Woolens .. .
Two-Ton Gets Andther 'E for Effort
Rotund Tex Salkeld has perhaps been one of the most ac
cursed gents la town ever si nee ho took p tho diffienlt chore of
matchmaker for the flsticBffers here. Whether guitly or not
and most of the time he's not Tex has been blamed for every
poor fight making Its way into the armory. Thank! oily there ;
hasnt been many of such animals lately. -
But no onec an ever blame or Two-Ton for not trying to install
the very best possible shows every; now and then in Portland. He's
had some pretty big ones in the past and Is shooting for even bigger
ones in the near future. Dating Woodburn Joe Kahut with Pat Valen
tino for what will amount to the Coast heavyweight title is a snappy
move by Salkeld, and if he can get the Kahut-Ez Charles 15-rounder
signed up for next summer, which looks good right now, he'll have hit
the jackpot Obtaining' a world heavyweight boxing match for Portland
isn't small potatoes.
- There have been those who have often chirped the likes of
"What the fight game needs la Salem is a new ma wtch maker ret
rid of Salkeld.'' To which we disagree. Salkeld knows the game
inside out. has control of most of those who manage the fighters
In this area and has, for tho past few years tried, often Quite ex
pensively, to install crowd-pleasing cards both tn Salem and Port- ,
land. We feel that the local VFW chapter would be making a sad .
mistake if it didn't stick with Tex as Its prodaction manager.
Promoter Pilcher Now Back in Action t
Which brings us to Wednesday night's amateur card at the armory,
being sponsored by Capital Post No. 9, American Legion. Big wheel
in the promotional end of that show is none other than Ira Pilcher,
the wartime wizard whose efforts helped make many a money-making
venture a success and who for the past couple of years has been more
or less dormant while riding herd on the Post's huge new home on So.
Commercial street Pilch always was one who aspired to be a match
maker or promoter for fights and wrestling matches, and has for
months been threatening to install some amateur cards at the armory.
He wasted little time setting sail after sitting In on the last Simon
Pure show here and the one later at Woodburn Boys' school, both of
em great from the standpoint of pleasing the onlookers. ,
Pilcher has secured the services of enough ef the talented
amateurs to Insure another amash-banger Wednesday, and has
launched a ticket-selling cam pais through his own post that
should pack the Joint Ifs good to see the promotional fireball
back In action again, and tis toe bad the city hasnt another 39
or 49 with his ambitions wbesi he gets 'em oiled for action . .
