Billy Conn Long
Way From Battle
for Heavy Crown
Billy Conn seems to be able
to do alright for himself against
the heavyweights, as witness his
easy 12-round decision over
Henry Cooper last night, but
this penner thinks he has a long
way to go, maybe too long, be
fore he can expect to bring a
furrow of worry to the brow of
Joseph Louis . . . Conn is strictly
a boxer; even his best friends
won't tell him he can bust a
pane of glass, and the guy who
beats Louis will have to carry
something more than a tickle in
each mitt.
Billy proclaims that his en
trance Into the heavyweight di
vision will end with him in there
against the champion, and win
ning, but other fine boxers have
thought the same thing and
wound up on the seat of their
pants . . , John Henry Lewis was
one, Bob Pastor was another,
and neither, despite their superb
defensive ability, could stay the
sudden death in Mister Louis'
gloved fists.
Conn has outgrown the
llghihesvyweight class, of
which he is the current king,
and if he wants to keep on
lighting ha will have to meet
the heavyweights ... he may
develop into a first class
heavyweight, probably will,
but about all this writer
can see for him Is a role of
- challenger to the throne . . .
we repeat, it will take a
heavy-hitting boy, or at least
a sharp-hitting and bruising
fighter, to whip Louis . . .
and Conn Is neither.
Joe DiMaggio is preparing to
put the lug on the Yankees for
$40,000 for a summer's pasttm
ing . . . Stan Hack of the Cubs
is rumored as the 1940 St. Louis
Cardinal thlrd-sacker, and Pitts
burg and Brooklyn are reported
to be cooking up a big player
deal . . . Bill SlUmntV u,hn n,,it
Portland to manage the Holly
wood club, will draw 10 grand
this year ... he has a one-year
contract.
It cost the University of Ore
gon Webfoots about $5000 to
swing through the east and mid
dle west on their recent basket
ball tour, with guarantees and
gate percentoges on the trip
amounting to $0000, which
leaves a nice $4000 profit ... be
fore Howard Hobson went to the
Eugene school and made casaba
things hum, the annual Decem
ber deficit was around $400 . . .
Oregon has another invitation
to appear in Madison Square
Garden next season, but Hobby
is waiting until he knows what
sort of a club he will have before
accepting the offer . . . Incident
ally, when the Ducks pulled Into
New York this yenr, 30 pho
tographers met them at Grand
Central station.
Dick Collum of the Min
neapolis Times-Tribune has
the following to say about
Coast conference hiring of
G-Man Aiherton as Its
"Judge Lendis": "Signifi
cance of the Coast league's
move to purify itself It that
It is designed to put It In
step with the Big Ten. Soon
, a virtual partnership will
exist, leading o inter-conference
games and possibly
to an ultimate larumMt in
meeting of the football
cnampioni in the
Bowl."

In attendance and thrills over

enthusiastic turnout was an in
dication of the new-year trend

MEET IN CRUCIAL
By the Associated Press
The yogis and seers who are
trying to predict the northern
division Pacific Coast confer
ence basketball chnmplon will
focus their attention on Eugene,
Ore., tomorrow n'.ght.
Two teams which have split
the yogis Into factions will be
clashing for the first time, and
one of them will stay unde
feated I,, the rtill young sched
ule as Oregon, defending cham
pion, and the neighbors from
Oregon Slato collide.
Both rlubs took two straight
from the hapless Vandals of
Idaho. Oregon had a 22 point
superiority in its two games,
while O.S.C. wound up 18
points ahead for the pair. Off
hand, It would appear Oregon
should defeat the Beavers by
anywhere up to six points, but
you cant take these feudln
scries between Ducks and Bea
vers offhand.
Washington State, ranked
with tno Ducks and Beavers as
a titular threat, plays Idaho
Saturday night.
Hec Edmundson's unpredict
able Washingtons, who split
with W.S.C. last week, play
Montana in a pair of non-con-feronce
games Friday and Sat
urday nights at Seattle.
Oltn TTnwflH led th field
by a nice margin last night on
the rifle club's indoor range,
when he turned in a score of
384, eight points up on Mrs.
Ivan Waddell, who placed sec
ond.
Last Sunday's Indoor ,mnlch
was well attended, with sever
al Yreka shooters here to of
fer a little competition. The
first event, a forty shot prone-
stanomg match, was won by
Shelby Tultle, 388x400. Ivan
Wadriell's 383 took second and
Orin Deter of Yreka was third
with 380. The second match
was forty shots sitting and
standing, and Orin Dctor's 383
was high, followed bv Shelby
Tuttle's 379. Waddell placed
third with 37B. The aggregate
of scores fired gave Tuttlo first
with 767x800, Deter second
with 763 and Waddell third
with 758. A noon luncheon was
enjoyed by all the shooters and
plans were discussed for an
other mutch sometime In Feb

were:

HENRY COOPER IN
New York, Jan. 11. (P)
Billy Conn, the Pittsburgh
phantomweight, has started on
the road he hopes will lead to
the heavyweight championship.
But like the road to Tipperary,
It's going to be a long and
winding trail.
He has had two bouts with
the big boys. Last night he
took an easy 12-round decision
from Henry Cooper of Brook
lyn in Madison Square Garden
and last August he scored a
technical knockout over Gus
Dorazio in Philadelphia.
This success has made the
light heavyweight champion
and his handlers lubilant and
they talk now in terms of John
ny raycnecK, Lee Savold, Bob
Pastor and leave the list
hanging on mid-air so a listen
er can add on other steps right
up tne throne-room.
"He'll fight anybody, that
kid," murmured Manager John
ny Ray in the dressing room
after last night's fight. I'm not
the matchmaker, so I don't
know who'll be next. Maybe
we'll take the winner of that
Apostoli-Bettina business, but
he (Conn) wants those heavy
weights. They can't touch him."
This was true against Coop
er, who was called in on ten
days notice to substitute for
Steve Dudas and ,n nn m4nh
for Conn. Everybody sensed it
in advance and a crowd of only
5,658 was on hand, paying a
gross gate of $14,400, the smal
lest take Conn ever has mus
tered at the Garden.
