The flrat bout etarta at 8:80. The main event will be tbe flrat appearance here for Chick alnce he loat a match to Ken Kollla aome weeka ego. After that match, which Holll won on a fluke after Chick had al ready defeated htm eaelly, the big rodeo a tar announced that he would never wreatle here again, but be haa reconsidered that atatement. In an earlier match between the two combatenta, Chick won In the third frame when he revolved Peck In bis famed lariat apln, after re covering from Peck's hefty beedlooka, with which the middle fall waa won. Peak le leary of choee aplna and In- tende giving Oblck no opening tor them tonight, he haa aald. Wilson haa the edge In the betting In his bout with Long, simply be oause bla aonnenberga are more tell ing than are the "Hurricane" ones. Both depend lergely on the man killing body thrusts for moat of their falls, with Wilson ualng hli as a coupe de grace, and Long employing hit as an offensive tootle designed to make hie other grips more effec tive, Wilson's long experience On tbe gridiron at tbe University of Wash ington taught blm the balance and driving power which he puts Into his taokles. Ted Christy, finger devouring and heir pulling olovra from Los Angeles, will attempt to take his seoond straight victory when he meets Petty grove, The Oellfornlan waa consid ered too rough for the California ath letic commission and they barred him for to days for unnecessary rough ness. Pettygrove, who has had tough luok with bis matches here to date, will turn "tough guy" himself, he has Intimated, and attempt to clean Chrlaty at his own game.

Ons sees It posted on announcements of coming winter sport events, and occasionally . sees where some skier washed out a tree while attempting ' to run a slalom course, but It was all areek to us We thought It was some sort of arose oountry race on skis, including up and down hill work. We admit we're pretty backwarda on thla sort of stuff, but have discovered several who knew as little about It aa ws did. glalomers get up on top of some peak or ridge, on their skit. The object Is to get to the bottom of the course alive, and If possible vis an extremely har.nnlnua route marked out by poles with flags on them. The poles are set up In twos and tours, side by side, with three or four-foot lane be tween them. If that were all there wss In It, It would ge fairly almple stuff, but that's only lite beginning. After starting down hill and nego tiating the first wlckst, the skier has to leap up In the air, plunk hla skit down st right angles, and room off In another direction to go tearing through the next barriers. If he'e atlll alive after this maneuver, and baan't hit any rocks or treea or by standers, he then has only to ac complish about six more such death traps, Including a tig-sag ootirae around a lot more atakea planted In 1 etrslghl row, and he's through. He's gone down the slalom course, and ex hibited ths fact that hs haa little regard for life or Umb. Walking down such course In the middle of summer time, firmly moor ed to trees soove by a length of rope, would bs sxcli- !ng enough for ui, but lots it people do It on snow, when ths mercury la freeslng solid. A few Intrepid dare-devlla d o It with trees aa the obntaolea Inatesd of light stakes, but thla la too hslr-ralslng an experience, to watch, for ua to talk alnut It calmly. We once sinaoked Into a eturdy looking oek tree at 1 o'clock In the morning, while ootnlng down the Alice Hanley hill on a aled at breakneck epeed. We don't know yet how the tree got there. It sort of leaped over In front of ua. We don't know why we're telllnf, you all this, unleea It'e because Mile morning's UgHt loam of snow slsttsa us on enhonl boy reminiscences. And than, tire ribs ws broke thst nlsht oet to burning us every time It get! cold. Hank PrlngU yesterday stepped alongside I.

Back In the days when Klrtley was prowling the grid iron for Old Oregon, he played in a game agirinst Wilson. On one oc casion when Wilson came howling orer tackle, Klrtley stepped In to stop him, and the two met with a terrific Impact. Klrtley stopped the goal ward rush, but did so at the expense of a broken shoulder, which still bothers him. It Is this shocking, tearing drive that is expected to give Wilson the edge over Wayne Long "Kansas Hurricane," when the two tacklers tangle tonight.

Only Passes Around The general said he celled WPA funds 'stage money" because "you can pase It around but you can not uct anything out of It In the end."

DESPITE LOSS OF VETERAN TALENT (By the Associated Press.) A formidable trio of basketball teams blossomed this season at Ore gon's three normal schools. Eastern Oregon Normal won 10 of lie first 16 games; Southern Oregon Normal won 11 of 31, and Monmouth Normal won 16 out of 28, and set a mark of 13 consecutive wins In the bargain. Much better than expected was the showing of Ooaoh Oene Eberhart's SONS, despite the wholesale exodus of transfers to University of Oregon. The SONS took on the toughest teams they could find, playing Oregon four times, yet better bhan held their own over the season. They dropped all the Oregon games, but split with Mount Angel and Wil lamette, took one of four from Mon mouth Normal, defeated Fresno State twice and coursed victoriously over a number of Independent. Coach Bob Qulnn's Eastern Oregon Normal team split games with the re doubtable Whitman Missionaries, won four from Godding college, lost to Willamette, won two from Albany col lege, took one of the four from Lewla- , ton Normal, and won two from North west Nazarene. The caliber of the opponents play ed made Monmouth Normal's record IS consecutive wins even more Im pressive than similar records set In 1D29 and 1934. Coach Al Cox's men defeated Fresno State, Willamette Mount Angel college. Southern Ore gon Normal and a number of strong independents) before the winning streak halted on the tall end of an arduous road trip. The season haa been a success for each of the teams regardless of the outcome of the few remaining games.

Top Row interfered, to be sure, but A. A. Baront's marvelous little horse is the 1B36 champion of the urf, with a little more than 10 months to go. In one of the wildest races In hla- tory, he won by a half length from Time Supply, with Roeemont another half length behind In third place. Azucar, winner of the 9100,000 handi cap In 1935, was still another half length back In fourth position. Jockey Tommy Luther on Time Supply claimed a foul, but the stew ards threw it out, poslbly because there was so much bumping around from the very start. Stanford Golfer Wins Coast Title DEL MONTE.
