With two llghtheavlee tn the ring that pack sleeping pill In their right band, the fana naturally expected knockout aa did thl writer or at least eeveral knockdowns. But the bout waa worth the price of admission to aee Snapp plan and carry out a clever attack after six months absence from the ring. The Spokane battier atalked .The Snapper throughout but couldn't corner the Merrill boy. Snapp kept on the move, parked bla left hand In Olm bels face and ahook up the Snokane battler with a neat overhead right on sev- aral occaaiona. Olmbel had aincere praise after the fight for the methodical, work manlike lob turned In by Ural. "I Just couldnt corner him," Olmbel aid. Remember, Snapp was meeting one of the most dangerous light- heavies on the coast and was taking no chances. The layoff apparently added polish to Snapp! boxing style and he turned In a cagey performance although not sensational from the spectator standpoint. Keep In mind. too. Olmbel has sever been knocked out tn his pro career. Snapp had Frankie wobbling en several occasions with a flurry of short, chopping rights. Olmbel admitted as much. Olmbel only once. In the eighth ' round, slowed Snapp down with his treacherous right. New League The picture Is getting brighter for the formation of an Oregon Inter collegiate Athletic association, men tion of which waa made In this column some time ago. In fact, Oregon Tech Director Winston Purrine tells me that a confab Is In the making for mid December. The aim will be to launch the loop Immediately for the basket ball season. Tentative plans are to Include, be sides Oregon Tech, Southern Ore gon, Oregon College, Van port and possibly Eastern Oregon. Tending the latter school tn the Hew league may take soma doing, however. The La Orande Institu tion of learning would no doubt ac cept membership after repeated brush-offs by the Northwest confer ence but school dads feel the travel ing distance would be too great Northwest conference big-wigs have tabled "for further study" ap plications by EOCE for entrance Into the NW wheel and an offer by the new league may well be grabbed by the La Grande officials. The formation of such a league Would make for interesting athletic races- Many have felt that Oregon Tech wont stay long in college athletic circles. This Is, as far aa I can see. wishful thinking from foes of the School on the hill. The academic set-up at OH is one of the best in the state and Is drawing men to the campus. The Owls had an amazingly good foot ball record this year In view of the Injury plague that hit deeply into the grid ranks. Skeet O'Connell has a basketball team that is virtually the same as last year's crew that finished with a near .500 record. At this writing they've toppled BOCK once and should establish an enviable cage record this year. It's a cinch the casaba teacher on the hill Is one of the best in the bus!' nets, likeable Skeet O'Connell.

The La Orande fumble that set up the first score was snagged by Orant Fullback Al Hansen on the La Orande 33. Quarterback George Shaw then passed 30 yards to End Stan Hays for the score. A 55-yard run by Halfback Duane Siebert topped a 91-yard march for the second touchdown. Then In the second quarter, passea brought both touchdowns. One was for 13 yards from Shaw to Hansen. The other started as a statue of liberty play on the Orant 30 with Halfback Dale Duff taking the ball from Shaw. He ran in forward and then heaved a long pass to Hays, who scored. La Orande never penetrated be yond the Orant 30. The champions had I first downs: La Orande S. Orant made 321 yards rushing to Against expected at Convention hall for the 10 p. m. (EST) bell. In previous matches between the two contestants, Williams knocked out Dawson In four and won a dis puted 10 round decision. Dawson earned a draw in an earlier 10 rounder.

Last week he was suspended by the National Boxing association al though permitted to carry out to night's title defense.
