A Vancouver newspaper, The s Province, published the report as .1 . nossibllitv" Tuesday. S Robinson thought the Idea, of j "any right proposition" along that I line, would be fine. But as yet s he's heard nothing Irom the Van I couver club Itself, i Brick Laws, the club owner who I moved his PCL franchise from i Oakland to Vancouver last Septem i ber. wasn't available for immed it late comment, but his wife thought "he ,c e r t a i n 1 y w ill be Rlad to i know" Robinson's getting the job. Jackie, who hasn't yet signed a contract for 1956 wilh Brooklyn's world champions, told The Asso 1 ciated Press from his home In j Stamford, Conn., that "as far as j I know right now, I'll be playing .1 with the Dodgers again next year " The 36-year-old veteran, first j Negro to break into organized ball, insisted he had heard nothing from 7 Laws himself, but explained that would be "tampering." anyway. i "They'd have to contact the Dod- j gers first." j n . Buzzy Bavasl. Dodger vice-pres-1 ldcnt and the man who would have comment on the matter, was en toute to Brooklyn from a league ' meeting in Chicago.' The Province quoted Robinson as raying In a telephone interview he lp "certainly interested in listen ing to such an olfer." The news paper said Robbie added: i "I spent the happiest year of my life in Montreal In 1946 and i always have treasured the Wonder ful treatment I got from Canadian fans.

But, Taylor says, Stanford can't do It with a special defense de sigped to stop Jon Arnett, USC's ace runner and total offense lsader in the Pacific Coast Conference. "If fee did, they'd kill us with their other' backs, ' said Taylor, He cited the USC fullbacks, Gor don Duvall and C. R. Roberts, and said he was happy USC Coach Jess Hill doesn't use both In the same backfield. A Taylor-designed specialty de fense did stop Ohio Stale's Howard (Hopalong) Cassady in Stanford's 6-0 upset of the Buckeyes. Hill showed respect for Stan ford's aerial operations with em phasis on his pass defenders and ends. These were his team's weak spots. Hill said, and he hopes to have them sharp against Stanford. Duvall and Roberts ran off long gains In scrimmage. Two of the PCC's hanged-in-ef-figy coaches Johnny Chcrberg of Washington and Lynn Waldorf of California prepared for a Berk eley meeting Saturday. Chcfbcrg " tried sophomore Al Ferguson at quarterback In his search for a spark for an offense that has been held to seven points a game since a 30-0 jvin over Min nesota. Ferguson ran the first team in a rough scrimmage as Cherberg experimented with several line combinations. Cherberg Joined the effigy club Monday' after Washington's 13-7 loss to Oregon State. Waldorf be came the season's charter mem ber three weeks ago, before Cali fornia's losses to USC and UCLA. Al Kircher of Washington State, whose effigy figure hung In a tree at Pullman Tuesday after a fifth defeat by College of the Pacific, laughed It off: "I don't care as Ion j as they hang the dummies and not me." Happier news for Kircher was the return of ends Lew Turner and Russ Quackenbush and center John Clark off the Injury list as he drilled his Cougars for their homecoming game wilh Oregon. Coach Skip Stanley of Idaho, which meets Oregon State at Cor vallis, said sophomore Nick Ugle slch may start at quarter against the Beavers. Howard Willis, first string quarter, hurt an ankle against Oregon last week. Powerful UCLA goes outside the conference this week against Col lege of the Pacific at Stockton, coached by UCLA alumnus Jack :Moosc) Myers.

SF Garden Made For TV Fights By IIAL WOOD j Vnlted Press Sports Writer SAN FRANCISCO tUP) Tele vision, which has changed the en tertainment habits of the world, will get credit for the new home of boxing In this area when fight promoter Bennie Ford 'opens his San Francisco Garden next month. The $175,009 edifice, possibly the first building constructed in the U.S. specifically for fights since the end of World War II, will be the home of regular Monday night cards plus possible national TV shows on Wednesdays and Fridays. ' "This Is going to be a cozy little place," says Ford with pardon able pride. "We have built it to seat about 2200 fans wilh every seat a ringside seat. We have kept in mind that in this age of television and that big crowds at ringside are a thing of the past In tlie fight game except for big r.ame battlers usually ones in volving only a champion." UP-TO-DATE It is Ford's belief that this will be one of the finest little fight clubs in America and definitely tlie most up-to-date. "In most fight clubs the televi sion cameras are placed on scaf folds on a temporary basis: and the smoke Is so thick that the cameras have trouble picking up the action," Ford points out. "But here we have taken care of that. We have built a special television booth. And we have in stalled an $11,000 ventilating sys tem' that keeps the arena com pletely empty of foul air and smoke." ' 1 Ford also has not overlooked tlie one item that keeps many fans from going to a baseball game parking facilities. "We have enough room to park cars for every person the house will hold," he says. NEW AGE . This Is a new age in the fight promotion business the age when many fans like to watch the battle at home with their feet propped up and sitting in an easy chair. "But they will find things just about as comfortable at our arena," says Ford. "Everything is new, including all the seats. And from everyone of the seats you are practically sitting right up against the ring. The prices for the regular shows will be only $1, 52 and $3. "This is a cozy place and . I think the fans will enjoy coming out to watch us develop young battlers on Monday nights. Of course, we'll have some name battlers too. "But we've constructed this with the idea that this is the age of television tyid we recognize the fact." i (torn MCiML.T mat--"-w I'i DELUXE ittrBF RJj IU-rtftCU1IOT Wu fl I Si for fcaju rnri tixnD BMii $435 "Tr FIFTH I $080 Am PINT el fioof.iLtHCtDWHisrn', 4?iGiiK HtuTntsrnrrs Tut iM!tiu omuiiKt co., Kim ro, nun, ill TV ANTENNA 10 Element Yogi 14.95 Special far Fringe Area Steel Telescoping Mast - 8 ft. to 50 ft.
