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

a pile ot bills. All next fall's

high hopes of carrying tha

Romaine Gets Chance at
M I IN
MEETS CHIP
Sammy Romaine. welterweight
wrestling king ot Detroit, will
attempt to make good hia chal
lenge for the world's champion.
ship against Robin Heed on Herb
Owen's mat program at the l e
llnn hall Monday night. 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.
