Miller was checked on two fronts yesterday in his efforts to keep the club in San Fran cisco and in sound financial con dition. First, the finance committee of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors turned down a pro posal to buy the stadium from Paul I. Fagan and rent it to the local club on a sliding scale based on attendance. Repair and Repaint Second, Fagan demanded that the Pacific Coast League repair and repaint the stadium or else. The PCL holds a lease on the stadium and sublets it in turn to the Seals. In a letter to the PCL, Fagan demanded that all the seats be repaired and repainted, that the light towers be repainted,, that the gates on the Bryant Street side be repainted and that the in side offices be redone. If his demands are not met by Jan. 1, Fagan said he will con sider the lease canceled. . H. Morris of Linfield One of Top Linebackers In Northwest Circuit . Linfield College, McMinnville, Oregon (special) A winless band of Linfield Wildcats will be out to pull an upset out of the bag this Saturday afternoon when they take on the rough Lewis and Clark Pioneers in their sec ond Northwest Conference game of the season. Although the Wildcats have dropped successive games to Southern Oregon, Portland State and College of Idaho, the frosh sprinkled lineup has v been im proving with each game and could give the Pioneers a real run for their money. No injuries were sustained against College of Idaho Saturday night that will keep men out of action this week, and the "Cats" hope to be at full strength for the Lewis and Clark outfit. Several of the Wildcat ver erans have been playing very good ball this season and if some of the frosh come through Satur day they could pull an upset out of the hat. Included among these veterans are guard Howard Mor ris and end Howard Glenn, both practically 60 minute ball play ers this season. Morris, a soph letterman from Crater high (Central Point), is at 5-9 and 180 jpounds one of the best linebackers in the league, and a real hustler on offense. With the much injured Vic Fox at the other guard and backing up the line, the Wildcats have a strong duo there 'to face the rugged Lewis and Clark line. Pitt over Navy The Panthers are coming and the Middies have lacked desire. It should be a bruising contest with the out: come depending on the way the ball bounces.
