Modification Battle Looms
On Rose Bowl Pact Renewal
By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN
Chicago, Oct. .11 UPu-The
Western Conference generally
favors renewal of Ita Rose Pawl
pact with the Pacific coast but
battle on modifications looms.
One strong factor wants the
three-year clause revised or
eliminated so the Big 10 cham
pion will automatically get the
Pasadena trip.
The present contract, which
expires after the 1951 Rose Bowl
game, prohibits any team going
more than once in a three-year
period.
The school that wins two
successive conference crowns
eould not be a repeat per
former at Pasadena, Michi

went to the Rose Bowl, but

again winning in 1948. Runner-up

That OSC 'Upset'
Based merely on the record of the 1949 season, Oregon
State's 7 to I decision over the University of Washington
might correctly be designated as an "upset." But If one
takes Into consideration the achievements of the two clubs
from 1937 down to date then the Beaver victory could have
been anticipated without too much stretch of the imagin
ation. During that period Oregon State has won eight
encounters with the Huskies and tied another last year's
14-14 deadlock. And it may be expected that the Huskies
will enter their annual clash with the University of Ore
gon November $ In Portland on the short end of the specu
lation. A condition that should give the Webfoots con
siderable thought
Stackhouse Troubles
The adventures of a coach new to the players, with little or no
knowledge of opposition tactics, usually are sufficient to fill the
pages of a fat volume. And Coach "Stack" Stackhouse at
Willamette or Coach "Kip" Taylor at Oregon State are no ex
emptions. Both are installing new systems and encountering
bstacltf which, no doubt, were anticipated to a certain degree.
Her on the Bearcat campus, no real leader has been developed
among the players, no one who has been able to inspire the
squad to play over its head. However, any club that is scored
upon four times in the first quarter and then comes back to
hove over a couple of touchdowns on its own behalf cannot
bo considered helpless by any means. At Caldwell the 'Cats
went up against what Coach Clem Parberry admitted was the
top performance of any club he has directed during his stay
at the College of Idaho.
Still on Fire
No decision has been reached In Eugene as to whether
Civic Stadium of that community will be leased for profes
sional baseball during the 1950 season. Proponents and
opponents of the program continue to tug away with the
latter appearing to be having a bit the better of the argu
ment. A plea has been issued that final action await the

Editorially, the Eugene Register Guard has taken a stand
against the use of Civic Stadium for professional baseball.

He and Payseur, as well as

Louis Lays Plans for
10-Round 'Exhibitions'
Baltimore, Oct. 11 IIP) Joe
Louis is planning to begin
training soon at Pompton
Lakes, N. J., for a series of
what he calls "ten-round ex
hibition bouts with ten-ounce
gloves."
Following a four-round ex
hibition with Curtis (Hatchet-
man) Sheppard here last night,
Louis disclosed he would like
to engage in about six or eight
of the ten-rounders with the
rounds of three minutes dura
tion. Normally, heavyweight ex
hibition bouts are four two
minute rounds and 16-ounce
gloves are used.

Cadets, Irish Claim Best Backs
Early season indications are
that Notre Dame and Army again
have two of the best backs in
the nation. A big reason why
Notre Dame will score almost at
will is Emil (Red) Sitko. A big
gun for Army is Arnold Galiffa.
the Cadet T quarterback. Both
are in their last season.
To say that Sitko is the most
experienced collegian performing
today would be an understate
ment. This is his seventh sea
son in big time football. During
three years in the navy he played
at Great Lakes, St. Mary's pre-
flight and Norman, Okla.
It was Sitko's forward pass
catch that enable Great Lakes
to beat Notre Dame, 19-14, in
the last minute of their 1943
game. It was the only game
Frank Leahy's team lost that
season.
Sitko, though only five-eight,
charges through the line like a
bull. The 180-pounder from Fort
Wayne, Ind., is called "Six-Yard
Sitko," and with good reason. In
the last three seasons at Notre
Dame he has carried the ball 243
times for 1514 yards, an average
gain of 8.2 yards.
In the Irish opener this sea
son he tallied three of seven
touchdowns against Indiana. He
made 64 yards in eight tries
against the Hoosiers, though he
had switched from halfback to
the fullback spot.
Galiffa had a big hand in
Army's unbeaten record last
season, his second as Cadet quar
terback. The six-two, 190-pound
athlete, also a West Point letter
winner in baseball and basket
ball, comes from Donora, Pa.,
the same town that gave Stan
Musial to the National league.
