Now look: Last month Pasquel Perez of the Argentine won the world bantamweight boxing title ... and this month Reynaldo Gorno won the Japanese inter national marathon race. While football coaches over the country, in most instances are relaxing a bit, contemplat ing a soft winter and rosy sprmg and summer, at College of Pac ific Coach Jack (Moose) Meyer and his gang are doing nothing but worry, worry! The reason is a schedule for COP, student population 1,903, that reads like this: Stanford, "Washington State, Oregon State, Idaho, Purdue, Cincinnati, San Jose State, Texas Tech and UCLA. The first Shrine game for crippled children in 1925, re turned a net $25,000. In 29 years since that opener, the game has netted the hospital for crippled children $2,115,000. Who says football isn't worth while? Fights in California are scor ed on the Australian system of 11 points to the round, with a narrow winner, for instance, getting six points, the loser five. If a fighter is knocked down and it is a lop - sided round, the scoring may be 7-4. At the end of the bout, the mam with the most points wins, regardless of who won the most rounds. This has led up to an odd bet ting situation in San Francisco on the Pierre Langlois-C a r 1 (Bobo) Olson middleweight title fight on Wednesday. Olson is a heavy favorite, but some of the Langlois men are asking "points" instead of odds. For instance, if the total point spread on the card of the ref eree favors Olson by six points, a man with a bet on Langlois and seven points, would be the winner! . Who says there is nothing new under the sun, especially in the betting marts! And speaking of fights, Jean Bretonnel, manager of Langlois, is having quite a squabble with the California State Athletic commission. Bretonnel still is demanding that one judge be from the state rtf California Vint irnt frnrn San Francisco; 2. One judge be Canadian-French from Montreal Athletic commission; and 3. A Hinds JC Tops El Camino, 13-7 In Junior Bowl Pasadena, Calif. U.R) Speed burning halfback Olin Renfroe raced to scores, on jaunts of 51 and 64 yards Sat urday to give Hinds Junior col lege of Raymond, Miss., a 13 to 7 victory over El Camino of California in the ninth junior Rose Bowl football game. Before a record crowd of 61, 559 fans in the famed stadium,' Renfroe gave his brother, Joe, coach of the Hinds team, his greatest victory with his second and third period runs. The Mississippi team, playing like the pride of the confederacy was on its shoulders, gave a mighty demonstration of speed, skill and the will to win as its 27-man squad humbled the fa vored El Camino team which threw fresh teams at it in' each period. .

Langlois has a much better MedfordTribune SIPdDMTS Gastronomes By ROBERT ZIMMERMAN , New York (U.R) Those British are never satisfied. Wasn't it enough to conquer Mount Everest? Apparently not. A 154-pound British sportswriier named Harold Mayes wants to take on our Herman Hickman in an eating contest. When Hickman heard about it he broke into a loud guf faw, his 300-pound frame shaking like an enormous to mato aspic. "Did you say 154 pounds? Why. ah ate almost that much for breakfast." - But you don't bet on weight in the eating game. The way they're talking up Mayes over in London the forthcoming in ternational match may be a statistical upset. Mayes is fa mous throughout the Empire. The sun never sets on his ap petite for steak and French fries, so they say. SEEK "NEUTRAL TABLE" News that Hickman was Washington Tops Brigham Young Provo, Utah (U.R) Washing ton's bustling band of Huskies ruined Brigham Young's home basketball debut Friday night as they laced the Cougars, 64-44, before 4,463 fans. Washington combined a fast breaking offense with a tight de fense to put the Cougars in a hole and rolled to a 40-18 half- time lead. The Huskies, who hit 36 per cent of their field goals, had five players score 10 or more points as they completely crushed the slow-starting BYU team. It was the worst defeat handed the Cougars on their own court in the last three years. Buckeye Back Sp rains Knee Columbus, O. (U.R) Fullback Hubie Bobo suffered a sprained knee Saturday at the next to last football practice here in preparation for the Rose Bowl game with Southern California. Trainer Ernie Biggs said the painful . sprain would sideline the Chauncey-Dover, O., back for at least a week, indicating he would not workout Thursday when the Buckeyes wind up home drills. The Ohio State gridders fly to California Dec. 18. The hard-running fullback was hit by two defenders who closed in from opposite sides after he had picked up 10 yards over right guard. Layne to Face Neuhaus Tonight Dortmund, Germany (U.R) Heinz Neuhaus, German ' and European heavyweight cham pion enters the ring at 9 p.m. (noon PST) 'tonight the 4 to 1 favorite to defeat Rex Layne of Ogdeh, Utah, in their 10-round bout at the West Falenhalle In door stadium.' v A ;rowd of 15,000 is expected to be on hand to see the bout for which both fighters have trained nara. L,ayne impressed observers with his fine showing in training camp but his mana ger, M a r v Jensen, ref used to predict the outcome. Saddler Cops Decision Over Spokane Battler Spokane, Wash. U.R) Feath erweight champion Sandy Sad dler looked ahead to a bright renewal of his fistic career after a unanimous decision over Spo kane's Bobby Woods in a bruis ing 10 round non-title brawl. Saddler, returning to the ring for the first time since stopping Ray Famechon six weeks ago in Paris, found Woods a busy customer in their bout Friday night at the Coliseum. However, Saddler went to work with a close in attack in the closing rounds . to take the decision over the local light weight. Sports Bulletins Portland (U.R) An ap plication by Greyhound park of Eugene to conduct dog rac ing in Lane county was disap proved to a 2 to vote of the Oregon Racing commission here Saturday. Eugene (U.R) Grant high school scored 56 points to win its fourth straight James O. Reed Memorial swimming meet, . emblematic of the state championship, here Saturday.

Plan Contest claiming the world's cham pidnship outraged Mayes, who can hardly wait for the pro moters to settle on -time, place and menu. . "The bloke obviously shot his amateur mouth off without ascertaining the fact ." he told a London correspondent of the United Press. "I'll eat him under any neutral table provided of course we can find a table high enough off the ground for that flabby paunch of his." When these words were re layed to Hickman it was ob vious they were' the fighiin' kind where he comes from, which is Chattanooga, down in the cornpone county. SUGGESTS A BARBECUE "Evidently that boy doesn't know the difference between a big chest and broad shoul ders and a paunch," said the former Yale and Army foot ball coach. Hickman is noted for the wide range of his appetite. "Ah'll eat anything that cain't eat me' and he was disap pointed that Mayes is a steak and potatoes man. Such fare would be a little drab on the international level. "The only way to separate the men from the boys in this game is to haul into a 60 pound barbecued Southern pig with lots of barbecue sauce, chicken Brunswick stew, cornpone, sliced raw onions and cole slaw," he said with a faraway look. The match is most likely to take place next time Mayes touches shores " on a sports assignment. At any rate, Hick man is determined not to per form in England. "They just went off meat rationing over there' he said. "Ah'd hate to be the one to" blame' if they had to go back on Olson-Langlois Fight Wednesday San Francisco (U.R) Carl (Bobo) Olson, the fightingest champion of them all, puts his title on the block for the third time in eight months on Wednes day when he tangles with the world's No. 1 challenger, Pierre Langlois of France. v - ' The bout will be staged in the huge San Francisco cow palace and a gate of aiound $100,000 is anticipated for the nationally-televised 15-round go. For Olson, it.will be the 65th fight of his brilliant career and he will be gunning for his 18th consecutive victory. Not since he lost a 15-round decision to Sugar Ray Robinson in 1952 has he been licked. This will be his seventh fight this year. In previous title de fenses he licked Kid Gavilan and Rocky Castellani, both on 15 round decisions.
