Mat Moguls Seek Tiile Bout Referee The Eugene Wrestling commis sion Monday had received the names of four possible referees for Thursday night's Pacific coast middleweight championship match between Champion Jack Lipscomb and Challenger George Wagner. Lipscomb submitted the names of Noel Krnnklin and Bob O'Dowdy as his choices while Wagner names Harry Elliott and "Curly" Donchin. It was believed, how ever, that the commission would pick an outsider due to the pro test made against Elliott by Lips comb following last week's fisti cuffs. The champion claimed that El liott "crossed"' him by awarding a verdict in the favor of Wagner after Lipscomb had allegedly fouled his opponent. The belt went to Wagner, but has since been taken over by the commis sion due to a ruling that prevents the shifting of the championship on a technical verdict. In the meantime the two prin cipals were in training for the re match that attracted a capacity crowd of rabid mat addicts last week. Reserved seat tickets went on sale Monday with the indica tions that the S. R. O. sign will be hung out at the Club cigar store and Obak's Rainbow before Thursday.

Burned Out Athletes Depends On Prep Training By FRANK DOSSE United Press Staff Correspondent MINNEAPOLIS (U.PJ To keep a young athlete from "burning out,' it is essential that he nave the .best of training in high school, it has been discovered by Dr. Anrcl Keys, associate pro fessor of physical education and head of the University of Minne sota study Into the effects of ath letics on the human body. "Keving up of high school teams Is probably dangerous," Keys said. "although we cannot he positive. It Is possible that all high school sports are a liability. It is more important lo have good training in high schools than in roileces and the present situation likely ts tile other way around." The scientist said that his state ments were no indictment against high school sports, but explained that it merely means that more care should be taken in training young athletes. It Is a question of the heart, mostly, he said: and there is as yet not much accurate information about effects of ath letics on that vital organ. "A great many liabilities at tend artificial keying up of high school players by a coach who arouses their emotions to stir their adrenal glands, "thus re leasing abnormal amounts of fuel to the body and stepping up heart action. It is easy for the im mature athlete to outdo capacities of his heart in order to bring at least second-half glory to his school." Dr. Keys pointed out that just as the overworking of the heart of a great race horse might "slow him up" for life, an overworked young athletic heart is the fre quent reason for promising ath letes to fail to develop along promising lines. They have "burned themselves out" fn high school. "Too many college boys bring along a high school heart. A heart that must provide energy for 20 or 30 more pounds," he said. "Then the young collegian fails to live up to the promise he showed when he set a county rec ord in the mile run." The university Purvey is at tempting to throw more light on questions of this kind.

M) The Portland Buckaroos, even up with Vancouver in the Pacific coast hockey league semi-finals, were out of the running today. League President Fred Taylor last night announced the semi final victory had been awarded to the Vancouver Lions, who will open the final play-offs against Seattle in Vancouver. The action followed a contro versy over the use by Portland last week of Louie Holmes of the Seattle Clippers to replace Chubby Scott, who was injured. Guy Pat rick, Vancouver manager, pro tested Portlands victory claiming Holmes had not played Scott's reg ular position. President Taylor said the mat ter was referred to a vote of league directors, who upheld the protest. . He said he had ordered the game replayed, but Rowe had refused. "I'm wondering if they (Seattle and Vancouver) are playing for the league title or for the cham pionship of Vancouver," Rowe said last night. "There has been no decision in the semi-finals. Portland and Vancouver each has won one game and has the same number of points scored for and against. There is no reason why Vancouver should play as the winner of the semi finals." He asserted that Vancouver had offered to allow Portlands vic tory provided the Buckaroos would play without Holmes in Vancouver tonight.
