By SCOTT BAILLE
United Press Sports Writer
San Francisco (U.P.) Stan

set last Saturday but Indian
Coach Chuck Taylor rates the
forthcoming game with Oregon
as "our greatest test so far."
The red-headed mentor fig

whether the Indians might be

Chico will take the match."
Lanky Giovanelli substituted
for Vejar Monday night at St.

Perez of New York. This time
it was by a unanimous 10-round
decision over Danny Jo, whom
he had stopped in the sixth
round on March 2, 1953.
Vejar Slated
Vejar, of Stamford. Conn., had
been slated to fight Perez Mon
day night but he suffered a split
lip in training. Promoter Tex

match Chico and Giovanelli for
the 21st.
Giovanelli had but a week's
rest since he outpointed Paolo
Melis of Montreal at St. Nick's
on Oct. 31.
Giovanelli threatened to du

over Perez Monday night. In the
early rounds he inflicted four
cuts about Danny Jo s left eye

Alexander S c h i f f examined
them twice and permitted the
bout to continue.
Giovanelli, scaling loOVz
pounds to Perez 151. was favor

with long left jabs and straight
rights against his speedier op

Kaiph Hoffman also did a
good job at quaterback, using
a great choice of plays and com
pleting passes at critical mo
ments," Pappy continued. "Don-
nie Smith and Nat Brazill, our
140-pounders, also were spark
plugs at the halfback spots. They
earned jobs there and are real,
all-around -players."
Waldorf said that Oregon
State, whom the Bears face at
Berkeley Saturday, are a "good
well-knit team."
Bob Bronzan of San Jose

State will be pointing for its
second win of the year when it
hosts the Spartans at Pullman
"I don't know what we should

roughness against UCLA with
the assertion, "Maybe some peo

leader of the Atlantic Coast Con
ference, looms as the Sooners
probable rival in a meeting of
teams now ranked No. 1 and 2
nationally.
Oklahoma became the first
team in the nation to land a
major bowl berth when it wal
loped Missouri Saturday, 20-0.
Here's why the Sooners have
clinched: The only team that can
beat them out for the Big Seven
crown is Nebraska, and the
Huskers are barred from the
Orange Bowl because they
played in it last year. The only
other team that can at least tie
Oklahoma is Colorado, and the
Sooners beat them earlier this
year which eliminates them.
Hopes To Meet Maryland
George L. Cross, president of
Oklahoma, said he hopes Mary
land will be the Sooners' bowl
rival because "naturally we
would want to play the highest
ranked team possible."
But the situation was far from
sunny for the Texas Aggies,
who are leading the Southwest
Conference race that normally
leads to the role of host team in
the Cotton Bowl at Dallas, Tex.
The Aggies currently are under
a two-year conference probation
period that banned post-season
competition.
In Bryan, Tex., Paschal Price,
sports editor of the Bryan Daily
Eagle, questioned whether this
ban was "legal" under confer
ence by-laws. Price quoted a section-
of the by-laws which reads
"the conference football cham
pion shall play in the Cotton
Bowl game, and permission of
the conference is not necessary."
Section Never Amended
Price claimed that, since this
section never was amended on
May 14 when the conference put
the Aggies under probation, that
the conference has no "legal"
power to keep the Aggies out of
the bowl.
But Edwin D. Mouzon of
Southern Methodist, president of
the Southwest Conference, took
sharp issue . with Price and in
sisted that "the action barring
the Aggies superseded anything
previously in the by-laws.
He said that it was his idea
which has not yet been approved
by the conference that, should
the Aggies win the title, the
runner-up team would get the
bowl bid. If there is a tie for
second, the team which defeated
the other would get it. If the
Aggies should tie for the title,
the other co-champion would get
it.
Officials of the Cotton Bowl
game, other than league offic
ials, had nothing to say about
the dispute.
