Thelan didn't Ilka It Ha was reluctant to accept tba reduction "voluntarily," so tha university officials hid to help him alone by way of sugges tion. Three thousand dollars la a deep handful out ot any one's pocket, and particularly to Phelan who now drops out ot tha Class "A" money dlvl slon. Haa Phelan come np to I1S.O00 worth ot ralue to the Hnsklea or rather 130,000. for ha has been at Seattle tor two years? Tha u-Purdue coach forsook tha middle wast for tha Pacific coast following tha lore of heary finance, the western paradise ot athletics, and a three-year contract. Wonder how binding that three-year contract la to the university? Perhaps Jimmy will carry his protests a little further than verbal action. It would be difficult with out looking Into the financial atatement of the Washington associated student offices to determine whether or not full Talue had been entered on the Husky books. In two year Phelan loat plenty ot gamea Oregon, tha moat difficult to take of all ot them won twlc In succession. The beat tha dapper Irishman did last year waa to hold Stanford to a eeorelesa tie. Phelan haa produced ena really great football team in all hi year ot coaching. It took him exactly eight sea sons at Purdue to gather in the championship of the Big Tea conference. Seren long, lean yearn with th Boiler maker, and two with Wash ington doesn't smack of suffi cient success to warrant the normons aalary Phelan ha received at Washington. Of coarse Phelan haa some thing to complain about. He came to the University of Washington Washington was mighty tickled to get him with th understanding ot a three-year contract at $15,- 00. But at the same time the university hss ran Into nntorseen difficulties, so ap parently Pbelan'a ahowman shlp as a coach failed to bol ster a more or less depleted income. e Phelan' (alary waa not all the Huskies paid ont for tha man from Purdue. Jimmy brought a complete staff ot high-priced assistant with him, and then organised the expensive "football" farm at St. Martin' College in Lacey, Washington. Lou ot money Washington hss spent, and had very little return la the way of football victories. Doc Speara at Oregon with his $ 11,500 ranks pretty high among the coaches of the northwest. H n g h Rosson, graduate manager, has been struggling along with a deficit since he took over the athletic post, and just now Is begin ning to shove his head through a pile ot bills.

The middle west grappler has fought his way through the preliminary rounda to a position entitling him to chance at th title won by Reed at Cleveland several montha ago. The Romalne-Reed match will be the first major athletic event In Klamath Kills. The ex-Olympic winner haa been nationally recognised as the chsmplon. and carries the belt crtiflng th title. Reed first won prominence with the Oregon State wrestling team, and then entered tha Paris Olympic gamea ot 1S4 to win the championship. He met the! representatives of every nstlon through the elimination rounda to the finals, and never lost a fall. Romaine. according to Pete Becker, who fought Chief Thomas on the last fight csrd and who will meet Jimmle King ot Green Bay, Wisconsin, on the wrestling program, will otter the most aerloua opposition Reed has met recently. Becker and King, meeting In four ten-mlnate rounds, hsve been matched as th semi-wind-up to th title bout. Although Becker make no claim to a championship, ha haa met and defeated many of th beat men In the country at his own weight, both fighting and wrestling. Becker won the popularity of the Klamath tight fana In, his clever victory over the Coqullle Indian. Becker trained with Art O'Rielly at Eugene befor eon lng to Klamath Falls, and prom ised the curtain raiser ben th University ot Oregon "bad man" and Charley Dulton. Se attle, would be sensational. E FOR BITTER FIGHT Medford, possessing one of th strongest basketball teams In southern Oregon, will expect Its most difficult game ot the season when It meet Klamath here Friday night at 7:10 In the high school gymnasium. Both five will be large and evenly matched. Dadwin Burgher, Tiger coach, will bring both his first and sec ond squads to meet th Pelican. Th Medford men bav galloped through their early sea son sched ule without a loss, and probably win give the Klamath team stlffer fight than Bend. At present the Tigers hsve earned. Oregon went Into th hole plenty on the Drake game at Chicago In 1930, but pulled np again with the magnificent victory over New York at Nw York. And too, th athletic de partment doesn't atand th en tire cost ot Spears' thou sand. They are cleverly di vided among dntles as coach, professor, and tlm devoted if any to work In tha uni versity health service. Poor old P. J. 8chlssler at Oregon State fit In this big money circle in the confer ence, and 8chlsler has been worth every cent he has been nald. Na othev ensrh In tha northwest hss had inch sen- ! satlonal success at Intersec tions! games, and If publicity is valuable to a school, Scblss ler has apread the name of Oregon State from the Pacific to the Atlantic. - Death, Injury, criticism and now retrenchment have laid a more firm band on football than at any other time In the past. Perhsps the hsnd Is writing on th wail, and per haps football Is due tor a re turn to normalcy. oSff on of the strongest teams In the state, hut th loss of Odd Hughes, who grsduales In Fen- ruaiy, will weaken them for the championship drive In their own district. The Pelicans, more powsrful than at the time ot the two vic tories over Bend, will have every man available for Friday s game. tlv GFOflGR H. RFUE AtiL'A CALIKNTK. liala Call- fornia. Jan. 14.
