Idaho holds a technical claim to the title. The Vandals, however. have been tud twice by teams low in conference rating and have not met any of the leading conference squads. The Vandals' claims are based on victories over Oregon Agri cultural College and Montana. O. A. C. has been deicatcd by three conference teams and Montana has fallen before four. Stanford jumped the last. hurdle Saturday when Coach "Pop" Warn er's red horde defeated the Golden Bears of California In the "big game" of the Pacific coau.

Charley Paddock Plans Return To Track With Olympic Games In Mind By Alan Gould Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 21 (P) Charley Paddock has no idea of taking a serious turn at indoor sprinting this winter but the blond California veteran is lully dcternv ined to try out for the Olympic team next psring, ambitious to do something that no American sprinter has ever achieved repre sent this country in three succes sive Olympiads. nere to attend the convention of the Amutcur Union as a southern California delegate, a role contrast ing with the somewhat sharp con met he had with the A. A. V. sev eral years ago paddock declared his spiked shoes are still in the ring." "I'm getting a bit old." he said, "but maybe there is still a kick left." What I'd like to do is to have one good race say against a man like Chet Bowman, the national 100 yard champion early next spring, either in the east or west, to deter mine what sort of shape I am in. Bowman may consider trila a chal lenge, in fact, he wants to. That would give each of us something to get in shape for and make it easier later on to work up to the Olympic climax. My idea would be to make the race a feature of a meet in some big eastern city for the benefit of the Olympic fund." Paddock lias helped the United States score 24 'a points in the Olympics in the prints and relays. This ia more than any oilier P WW American star has collected but the stocky Californian wants to set a higher mark for newcomers to shoot at. One of Paddock's most sensation el Olympic races was a losing one, by a margin of inches. It was the 200 meter finals of 1324, when Jack son Scholz, former University of Missouri star, nipped the Califor nian at the tape. The notion has always been prevalent that Pad dock beat himself by a gesture of turning his head in the last few strides and slacken his pace a bit. This is his story ot that epic fin ish, however: "It was light all the way down, although I gained and held an edge over Scholz going into the last 50 yards. Ten yards frcm the inush, however, I Wiiit dead. 1 liad nothing left but - momentum and turned my head and body only with the idea ot reaching fur the tape, gaining an extra inch or two that might mean the difference between defeat and victory. But Jack had the most stuff and won." Charley Borah, southern Cali fornia flash and intercollegiate cliampion, is considered the "per fect sprinter" by Paddock. "He's almost too good to be true, declared the veteran who hung up his famous mark of 9 5-10 seconds for the 100 yards in a sensational finish with Borah over a year ago "He does everything right, There's nothing In his action to criticize. And Lie has a great competitive temperament. HARR1SBURG NO MATCH FOR RED AND BLACK MEN SUSPEND DUNDEE FOR STAGING FAKE New York, Nov. 21 OP) Joe Dun dee of Baltimore, world's welter weight champion, was suspended today by the New York state ath letic commission as a result of the recent Los Angeles fiasco in which his title fight with Ace Hudkins fell through at the last minute. At the same time two of the New York commission's official physi cians pronounced Jack Sharkey, Uoslon heavyweight unfit to fight as a result ot an Injury to one of Ids fingers, thereby supporting the boxer's excuse for calluig off a fight scheduled tonight at Madison Square Garden with Tom Hceney. JEFFERSON BREAKS EVEN Jefferson, Nov. 21 Jefferson high school broke even in basket ball last week, the girls' team de feating Tangent, 17 to 8, and the boys losing to the boys' team ot tho same school, 36 to 16. The games were scheduled as practice games but other contests will be staged at regularly scheduled dates later In the season. PLAN INDEPENDENT SILVERTON TEAM Silverton. Nov. 21.

JEFFERSON HOOP TEAMS PLAY SCIO Jefferson, Nov. 21 The grade girls and hoys basketball teams went to Scio Thursday evening to play a practice game. The Jefferson girls wore defeated by a score of 16 to 10 and the Jeff erson boys won by a score of 17 to 16. Alice Harris is captain of the girls team and Merlin Whedbec cap tain of the boys. Releasing an attack which was un fa thomed by Harrisburg, a good small town team, Salem high school scored a 53 to 0 victory here Saturday afternoon, scoring more in one game than in all other starts of the sea son. The bombardment of long runs and passes started on the first play after the kickoff when Temple raced around left end for 48 yards. Three line smashes made a first down on the Harrisburg 20 yard line. Temple added 13 more and Kelly went over for the first touchdown. A pass. Temple to Kelly, tallied the addi tional point. Three more touchdowns were trained in the first period for 26 points, two by Kelly and one line smash by Nelson. During the second penod Harris burg braced and held Salem score less. Jackson, Harrisburg quarter. brought tho fans to their feet by some clever punt returns and a 12 yard line buck through the line but the Salem line charged through breaking up any threats to then- goal. Towards the end of the quar ter. Glen Wilbur, substitute halfback for Salem, playing in his first game of the year, was carried from the field, after an out of bounds play, with a broken leg. Harrisburg opened the third period with a strong offense which wilted after reaching the Salem 35 yard line. Taking the ball at point Temple and Kelly went on a rampage for another touchdown. The balance of the game was played in the rain with -the mud stained Red and Black men scoring at will despite three 15 yard penal ties for holding. Jackson and Scott, the latter shifting from tackle to fullback, were individual stars for Harrisburg, Despite the weakness of its oppon ents Salem high looked like a real eleven.

Idaho Places Strong Bid For Pacific Coast Title With Undefeated Record While California writers throw a flood of unfavorable publicity over the University of Idaho's claims to the title of the Pacific coast con ference which they claim by two victories and two tie games, the 15,000 fans who saw Idaho trim O. A, C, outplaying the Aggies In every department of the game except breaks, believe confidently that the Vandals have improved 100 per cent since their stoic game with the Uni versity or Oregon and would now be able to threaten either Stanford or U. S. C, with a real attack. Idaho gained 253 yards In scrim mage and pass plays to 133 netted by the Orangemen, a feat accomplish- med only by Stanford. By comparing the game in Portland Saturday, comparative strength with the Cali fornia claimants seems to give Ida ho at least an even break notwith- To raise funds for church Im provements, the vicar of St. John's church recently played a hand or gan in London streets. standing their four game schedule which was not the fault of Idaho managers but of difficulty in secur ing southern games tills year. St. Mary's, a non-conference team, which Idaho tied 3 to 3, was the only California school on their schedule. Stanford does not crow over Its defeats by the two small Catholic schools, St Mary's and Santa Clara, in both ot which, first team strength was used in vain. U. S. C. has been held to a tie score by Stanford and a 13 to 12 victory over the Aggies does not look so good. Powerftl victories over Cal ifornia and Washington State show their strength, however. Idaho will carry Its claim to the Tournament of Roses officials for a chance in the lntersectional contest at Pasadena New Year's day against reports that Stanford has already been tendered the Invitation. GER KQNERED BY THOUSANDS Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 21. VP The city auditorium which for years has housed Atlanta s biggest crowds, to day was host to "Tiger" Flowers' mourners.

L Independence, Ore., Nov. 21 There is a general movement on hand among the business men o: Independence to take up a collec tion sufficient to furnish the train ing school fcotball tram with suits. This movement is promoted by the pluckiness, and grit shown by the grade school learn in the foot ball games they have played tills year.

ILLINOIS WINS AT FINISH OF BIG 10 CHASE Chicago, Nov. 21 The University of Illinois football team hailed as the "Starless wonder" has Justified Coach Bob Zuppke's contention that he bad a whole solar system instead of a flaming meteor or two. The Illlnl has come into the glory that Is rightly theirs by establish ing a solid claim to the big ten con ference championship winning five games and losing none. Zuppke's team was tied by one eleven Ames but the Iowa State team Is not a member of the conference. Zuppke explained his lack of play ers who stand above the rest by say ing that the whole team Is good. "It's easy for a good man to stand out against a background of dubs, but not so easy against a bunch of good men," he said. Minnesota, a powerful team, like wise closed its season without a de feat. But one blot a tie with Indi ana spoiled the Gopher claim for the title. Michigan, with one of the hardest schedules of any big eleven came through the season with a satisfact ory record. The only teams which beat the Wolverines were the two conference leaders. The University of Chicago broke even with three victories and three defeats. Purdue also broke even with two defeats and two victories. Northwestern, a star football elev en, played good football when "Tiny" Lewis and Waldo Fisher were able to compete, but they were crippled most of the season. The Ohio State team, also highly regarded last September, had the same record as Northwestern three defeats and three victories. Indiana had perhaps the best Hoosfer team In a decade and came through the season with two defeats, a victory and the tie with Minne sota. Wisconsin In its first season under Coach Glenn Thistlcthwaite. was a big disappointment to Badger boost ers. A victory over Purdue was the lone Badger boast. Iowa won Its only game of the season from Wisconsin. Glasglow Is to soon have Its first ice rink In 10 years. ANNUAL SERVICE GAME FEATURES EASTERN TILTS New York, Nov. 21. (P Two ln tersectional struggles and ten re newals of old rivalries, including the annual Army-Navy classic, appear in tho finale this week of the 1827 eastern gridiron show. One of the greatest Army elevens, defeated only by Yale, will fling Its speedy formation against the mid dies at the Polo grounds on Satur day. While the cadets lost prestige at New Haven this was partially dispelled by their decisive triumph over Notre Dame. New York university's even goes to Lincoln for an encounter with the Nebraskans on Thanksgiving day while Carnegie Tech Journeys to Portland, Ore., to engage with the Oregon Aggies on Saturday. Among the old feuds which will break forth afresh on Thursday are those between Cornell and Pennsyl vania at Philadelphia, Brown and Colgate at Providence, Pittsburgh nnd Penn State at Pittsburgh, Washington and Jefferson and West Virginia at Morgai-.'.own; Maryland and Johns Hopkins at Baltimore; Columbia and Syracuse at New York: Catholic University and George Washington at Washington, and Bucknell and Dickinson at Lew isburg. Pa. On Saturday, Holy Cross and Bos ton college will meet In their yearly tussle at Boston. Pittsburgh and Washington and Jefferson In their respective con tests will be striving to keep a clean slate, neither having tasted defeat. They had one tie game, a scoreless deadlock against each other. . While Yale, through for the sea son, has established herself as the leading contender for eastern cham pionship honors, victories for Pitts burgh or Washington and Jefferson Thursday will leave ths title In dispute.
