While the faculty representa tives and graduate managers discussed the post-war problems that will see the conference with full membership for the first time since 1942, rumors were rampant and they all boiled down to this: Round Robin Opposed 1. California schools In the loop (Stanford, UCLA, Califor nia and USC) have rebelled against the round-robin sched ules which call for every school in the conference to take turns playing the smaller units Ida ho and Montana. 2. Frank Wlckhoerst was prominently mentioned for the Job of head coach at University of California, succeeding Buck Shaw, resigned. 3. Considerable controversy arose over the possibility of ap pointing a new commissioner to succeed the late Edwin N. Ath erton. His place is being filled temporarily by Victor Schmidt. Wickhoerst was mentioned as a possible choice for this post. Would Change Code 4. A proposal that each school appoint a "field representative," who would be allowed to contact possible gridiron talent from high schools. This would be in exact opposition to the old Ath erton code, which made athletes contneted by schools ineligible to play at that school. From the conference leaders there were no official announce ments and won't be any until late today. The one report that wasn't a rumor was the election of Lon Stiner, Oregon State coach, as head of the Conference Coaches Association, succeeding Jeff Cra vath of USC.

Alfred "Bad News" Brown, a 240-pounder from Chicago who knocked out Red Burman in five founds and put Lee Onu away in eight, was expected to give Louis more than just a workout. The champion also will fight Dave Johnston, 210, of Portland, in the second of the two sched uled exhibition bouts. BOWLING In Classic league last night Signal Oil took three straight games over Hi-Way Tavern (Barr 233 Klntt 224), Domes tic Laundry won two out of three from Hawklnson Tires (Schantol 202 Pruitt 214), Maid Rite won two out of three from Valentine's Cafe (Bell 221 Holweg 211), and Beck's Bak ery made It two out of three over American Pbl. Co. (DeVore 173 K. Powell 203). Bob Watson, Tornado Fullback, Is Honored For Outstanding Grid Job Bob Watson, Medford high school fullback, won the Med ford Athletic Association's ath lete of the month award for No vember, according to an an nouncement by the selection committee today. Watson's selection was made on the strength of his perform ance in the semi-final state championship game with Grant of Portland high school, which Medford lost 7 to 6. Although his pick from placement was partially blocked resulting Medford's one point defeat, Watson's playing performance was a definite standout above any other athletic performance here for the month, selection of ficials said. Mentioned In a recent article In the Portland Oregonian as one of the greatest running full backs In the state, Watson ham mered at the strong Grant line nd rolled up yard after yard around the ends all afternoon but his team bogged down when scoring territory. It was largely due to Watson's efforts that Medford rolled up a total of 300 yards to Grant's 07. The selection committee con sidered Len Williams, Ashland fullback, because of his brilliant work against Medford in their game here November 9, but ruled that Watson's playing out shone that of Williams. Watson, a senior, is now de voting his time to basketball and plans to enroll In Stanford Uni versity after graduation next spring.
