Lou Nova, who was a guest of

here last week is scheduled to fight
a 10 round main event with Paul
Hartnek, rugged 200 pound heavy­
weight from Omaha, Neb., at the
National Boxing Club show in Port­
land June 11. This fight looms as a
“make or break” deal for Lou on
his comeback trail. A victory will
put him in league to fight Lee
Savold at Chicago on June 28.
FOOTBALL IS “NO GO”
Washington State College is at
the ehd of the trail as far as foot­
ball goes. Coach Orin E. “Babe”
Hollinbery may be lost to the WSC
team because of a salary feud, the
Chronicle stated. The “Babe” who
was getting $10,000 a year has
been cut to $5,000 and no com­
promise has been offered by the
athletic department. In meeting a
few days ago the athletic depart­
ment passed a resolution that WSC
