Unsuccessful all the way, he vows the streams have seen the last of .him. (Tried dynamite. Chuck?) . . . And over at Mt. Angel they're calling the good Father Edward Spear "Mr. Telechron." A true basketball en thusiast, Fr. Edward was running the electric clock the night the Preps played Molalla in their double overtimcr. In the excite ment of the riproarious game the padre forgot to turn the clock on and was, of course, recipient of a rasping. Mt. Angel won the game in the second overtime, but rather than have anyone believe the vic tory might have been achieved be cause of the short vacation the clock had, Fr.

Just how they'll crack this well-organized and smooth-functioning league remains to be seen. -But Gervais Principal Paul Reiling. a go-geiter, is determin ed to get his Cougars into it. . . . One of the reasons why Bo Mc Millan vas canned as coach of the Detroit Lions, writes H, G. Sai singer in his Detroit fPvs, concerned his refusal to use Leon Hart any more than he did. The former Notre Dame great was a -vast fav orite with the Detroit fans, but McMillan used him only sparingly , as a reserve fullback. The team directors as well as the fans didn't care much for McMillan's strategy in this instance, and felt that had Hart been played at end regularly he would have more than liyed up to his intercollegiate press notices. ... Coast Conference Hint a Real Shocheroo A shocking thing, the Coast conference hint that it may with draw from future post-season football play. But a solid reminder that it fully intends finding some method of de-empha.siln(c the port that actually has gone financially hop-wild with many inter collegiate institutions. It is a Tell-known fact that the football of today in the great majority of eases is costing much more: than it actually pays back to the colleges and universities fielding: teams. Even more of those teams that are lucky enough to win most of the time are doing their profit and loss statements in red ink. The PCC evidently feels that throwing, off the pressure that is the race to the Rose Bowl will modify the terrific cost of football. If the PCC does dump the Pasadena parade it has proudly held annually since 1916, it picked a poor time to do it. On the heels of five straight Big Ten bowl victories over Coast elevens have come uch remarks from the football filberts as, "Sure, they can't beat any body at Pasadena; so they're gonna quit." This is unquestionably not the reason for the threat to quit the Rose Bowl. But coming; less than a week after the PCC dropped its fifth in a row to the Big Ten, the real reason and its' announcement was very poorly timed. Heaven knows Coast football has suffered long enough in the public opinion department. And now this. Deluge of Rebuke Will Be Its Racard -Coast conference football, de-emphasized or not, never' will out live the slur and slander it will get if the masters of the Conference finally decide they are through with post-season games.

In a letter answering a query by Sportswriter Willie Klein of the Star-Ledger, Saigh said the baseball owners want a man "who is not a puppet for his fri ends, and a tyrant to his enem ies." "L for one, want a stronger man than Chandler has proved to be," he added. Klein, who has never met Saigh, wrote him to ask why be voted against Chandler when the major league owners decided last month not to renew Chandler's contract when it expires next year.
