The unpopular decision which
obscure Lester Felton gained
over welterweight contender
Kid Gavilan left the referee
and one judge in hot water
with the state boxing commis
sion today.
Commission Secretary Leo
Souriall announced that licen
ses of Referee Morris Sherman
and Judge Sam Pearlstein, who
backed Felton, had been revoked
and an investigation into betting
on the fight bejun.
William Matney, a commis
sion member, said the inquiry
had "turned up nothing to in
dicate that anyone involved
was mixed up in a gambling
scandal." Rut he added that
the investigation would con
tinue. The crowd booed the split de
cision last Friday night which
permitted Felton to vault from
the club fighter ranks ' in bis
first big test.
Souriall said the licenses were
"recalled" because he and Mat
ney discovered "laxity by the
two officials in carrying out their
duties."

Clearing the Atmosphere
It is now evident that the Portland Beavers will operate the
Salem Senators another season or turn elsewhere for a buyer
for its local holdings. Trying to do business through mass
meetings where everybody in attendance is entitled to speak
his piece may be a good example of democracy, but it certainly
isn't conducive to speed or efficiency. And, perhaps a ball
club that is owned by four or five hundred individuals would
provide a managerial problem that no number of aspirin tablets
would assuage. The meetings and conferences in all prob
ability have been beneficial in that they tended to clear the at
mosphere. Perhaps the parent Portland front office has come
to the realization that Salem will not respond to a second
division club. Then, too, the fans may have a better insight
into the problems involved in the operation of a ball club.
Closer cooperation all around should prove beneficial in the
production of a first division outfit.

An Eight Man Line
The Albany coaching staff, after scouting the Eugene
Axemen, came up with an eight man line last week, a
maneuver that brought about the first defeat of the season
for the Lane county club. The Axemen had favored a
pitch-out play In order to gain much of their yardage against
other Big Six opponents, but when confronted with eight
men on the opposite wall, they were a bit reluctant to use
their favorite maneuver. The Albany forwards constant
ly threatened to grab off one of the pitch-outs and run it
back for a touchdown. So now Loren Mort and his Salem
Vikings are on top of the heap with two league games
remaining to be played. Neither will be easy Corvallis
here Friday night and Eugene there Armistice day. Nev
ertheless, if the Viks perform up to their possibilities they
can take both of them.

Plans for YMCA
Representatives of a number
of Salem churches interested in
the formation of a volleyball

next Tuesday night at 7:30. A
similar conference was held
early this week when prelimin
ary plans were discussed. At
that time representatives in at
tendance were from Christ Lu

First Presbyterian churches.
Tentative plans call for com
petition each Saturday night
from 7 to 10 o'clock on the
YMCA courts.
Eugene on Top
The Axemen have dominated fairly consistenly during the past
decade, having won six and settled for one tie during that period.
Which means the Vikings have been winners but three times.
Total points for the 10 years are Salem 84 and Eugene 116.
The biggest margin of victory was Eugene's 25 to 0 triumph
in 1944. Here is the record:

There's one assist baseball statis

It came from Commissioner A.
B. Chandler.
The boost was a financial one
for Manager Billy Southworth
of the Boston Braves.
The commissioner announced
at his home here he had direct

full share of the world series
money earned by the fourth-finishing
Boston club. Southworth,
the commissioner said, was vot

Bowl Shaping Up
Out of Saturday's clash in Los Angeles between the CCLA
Bruins and the California Bears may emerge the club that
will represent the Pacific Coast conference in the Rose
Bowl New Year's day. While the Bruins have a slightly
tarnished record due to their defeat by Santa Clara, the
result of that contest has no bearing on conference play.
California, although a bit lucky to get over USC, will
present a perfect record against their Los Angeles cousins.
And while the Berkeley Bears have yet to meet their
cross-buy foes at Palo Alto, November 19, a win over the
Bruins would give them a fairly substantial edge. In be
tween. Coach Pappy Waldorf's squad must meet Wash
