THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON THREE HUDKINS COCKY ON EVE OF FIGHT WITH WALKER MONDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1929 WILDCAT SURE OF WHIPPING THE CHAMPION Los Angeles (JPh-With the rigor ous training grind left behind. Mickey Walker, the champion, and Ace Hudklns, the contender, Mon day marked time as they waited Impatiently the gong which Tues day night will send them into the 10 round battle for the middle weight title of the world. The fight, to all Intents and purposes, probably will mark the decline of the vanquished and tne rise of the victor. Both scrappers, the type who are willing to take two to put across a punch, seem to have read the signs of the times, If their month long training is evidence. After the climaxing session Sun dav, when the Nebraska Wildcat clawed and pawed three opponents In characteristic fashion for four rounds, he had plenty to say about the Impending battle. "It's going to be a great fight until the sixth," said the Ace, "'Aft er that I'll walk through to the finish. "I won't say I'll knock him out." came the Wildcat's reply to the question, "but I will say I'll beat Mickey as far as from here to Chi cago and that's a long way." This flurry of words out of his system, the Nebraskan tamed down bit. "And If I don't win I'm through -see? I'll never lace on a glove again. Why, if I can't whip Mic key, where'U I go? I could make lots of money, but I've got money. Put me down as saying that If I lose I'm through through." The champion had no comments to make after his final lour round episode at Soper's ranch. In his last drill he demonstrated among other things that his wind and speed have improved over a week ago. BAKER SUSPENDED FOR PROSELYTING Portland (IP) Baker high school has been suspended from the Ore gon High School Athletic associa tion by the board 01 directors charges of "proselyting." The board of directors adopted a resolution in which the directors declared that Baker high school used certain players in Its games deemed to be ineligible. That Baker disregarded good eportemanship and failed to take due precautions in enforcing the eligibility rules as laid down by the Oregon High School Athletic as sociation. "That It, therefore, should be suspended until the annual meet ing of the association," whlcii Is scheduled in December. C lMo.tiooiTT a Mvsas Tosacco Co.

At first glance it would appear that the U. S. C. eleven is in an almost Impregnable ' position after its 7 to 0 victory over the Cardinals. But at second thought, Califor nia Is conceded a fighting chance to come out on top. The fighting Bears took on the powerful Olympic Club with their second string after tiresome trip from Philadelphia and beat the clubmen 21 to 19. Stanford, earlier in the season, de feated the Olympics 7 to 0. Conceding California a chance of victory does not, however, detract from the U. S. C. victory over Stan ford. In that game the Trojans showed themselves to be a marvel ous football machine, sweeping through the Stanford defense with smoothness and power, and break ing up the tricky Stanford maneuv ors with ease. Oregon defeated the demoralized Washington outfit, 14 to 0, and the mental state of the losers was typi fied in the action of a substitute who raced from the sidelines to make a flying tackle and to become the twelfth man on the field. Oregon State beat Idaho 27 to 0. In non-conference affrays. Wash ington State defeated Whitman 58 to 0. Montana State defeated Mon tana 14 to 12; and the University of California at Los Angeles took Po mona for a ride, 20 to 0. MARSTERS TOPS GRID SCORERS (By the Associated Press) "Special Delivery" Al Marsters scored two touchdowns In Dart mouth's rout of Harvard on Satur day to boost his season's scoring record to 103 points, by far the best in the country.

At present there are four teams in the conference Minnesota, Pur due, Illinois and Ohio which have not tasted defeat but Illinois and Ohio have been held to ties. Purdue has the actual leadership with two games on the won side of the column. Minnesota has engaged In only one contest, Its defeat of Northwestern. Noted for the upsets It produces the Big Ten is a hard spot for any predicting but Judging from the schedules of both Purdue and Min nesota from here on out it seems quite possible that either one or both teams will go through the sea son undefeated. SUCH POPULARITY MUST BE DESERVED ford university. At Oxford he Is de termined to fill the role of Rhodes Scholar with merit; he la deter mined not only to learn his law but also to fill In the gaps In his general education and Intellectual develop ment. I have not the i lightest doubt that he will do both with distinc tion. But out of his experience has come the conviction that college athletics used him rather selfishly, He believes that the exploitation of physically endowed young men some of whom have Intellectual ca pacities as if they were game fight ing cocks or maddened bulls ifi something less than one ought to expect at the hands of his Alma Mater. He discovered in bis Junior year that he possessed a mind as well as powerful muscle tnat modern football was not really an amateur sport at all that it was from the outside a great show by means of which universities keyed up the loy alty of alumni associations and im pressed the general taxpayers; from the Inside, a relentless industry which built commodities of various kinds upon the blood and sinew and carefully nourished college spirit of the players .... "Burrus has the notion that fath ers of college athletes and the public in general ought to know Just how young men with husky frames are utilized as the raw material in a vast industry. His picture tends to show conclusively that a football player has no time or thought to give to anything but football unless he is willing to subject himself to abnormal strain. "Burrus has no objection to the frank industrialization of football, for that seems consonant with the American spirit of today; nor does he object to the practical use of football by universities as a means of impressing their public deeply . But, let the boy who wishes to play gladiator for a few years ... be paid a fair price for his services. Salaries should be high because of the unusual talent required and the serious hazards Involved. "Let coaches discontinue their furtive and evasive bids for material, In favor of open competitive bidding on a frankly commercial basis. The fact that the amateur spirit no longer prevails In the major sports of many colleges should be recog nized and dealt with as a reality." WESTERWELLER TACKLE PROVES GAME THRILL Seattle (IP) And Western eller tackled Robinson. For many months the "battle of Bagshaw" gave the hot stove league a topic, and scarcely had it ended with the resignation of the coach than a Husky gave those who dis cuss fotball affairs something else to talk about. That tackle and a fast forward passing attack were the only things outstanding in a rather dull foot ball game that ended as advance dope had said, 14 to 0, In favor of Oregon, Larry Westerweller, a senior at the University of Washington, had made his first start for the Huskies, and, after four years of hoping, had played a good game. Then, when the Huskies were driving toward what looked like a touchdown he was hurt and taken out. Limping down the sidelines toward, the showers, he saw Bob Robinson streaking toward the Washington goal. Robinson had intercepted a pass on his goal line and made 80 yards, with the Ore gon team well organized around him. Throwing aside his blanket, Wes terweller stepped again onto the playing field and made the tackle. It was a glorious tackle, clean and hard. The officials ruled that Oregon should have the touchdown, for It had been inevitable and Westweller had broken a primary rule of foot ball. BELL TO PLAY 3RD FOR CUBS Chicago UP) Lester Bell who played third base for the Boston Braves during the 1928 and 1929 seasons, has been purchased by the Cubs the first move by owner Wil liam Wrigley, Jr., to repair the weak spots in the Bruin machine that conquered the National league, but found the Athletics too good in the recent world series.

Bell, who is 29 years old, will re place Norman McMillan, whose fielding was satisfactory to Manag er Joe McCarthy, but whose hitting was considered too spotty by the Cub pilot. McMillan probably will remain on the Wrigley payroll as a utility lnflelder, but Clyde Beck, who understudied McMillan last season, is expected to go.
