By ED W1LKS If
The Associated Press
J Quarterback Bob Hardy, the

( Hardy, a senior, carried the ball
six times In the final push, in
cluding an 18-yard pass completion
. on a fourth-down-and-10 situation
'. that mended the drive just- as it
seemed to crack. The pass put the
ball on the Rice 24 and when two
plays carried to the 12. Hardy car
ried himself, circling left end on a
keeper and shaking off two ankle
high defensive stabs to score stand
ing up.
It was his second TD of the

Robinson Said
? Candidate For
Vancouver Job
NEW YORK W Add another
.' rumor to the winter baseball guess
ing game: Jackie Robinson will
icall it quits with the Brooklyn
Dodgers and take a job at man
ager of Vancouver, B.C., in the Pa
cific Coast League.
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. My wife ajid I have spoken
often about this and always have
hoped someday to return to Canada."

ing at a 635-yard clip for the
first six games of the National
Football League seasou. apace
169 yards ah?ad of the field in the
rus.'iing statistics and one which
would have him surpass Van Bur
en's record 1,146 if maintained.
Weavm' Steven set his mark for
the Philadelphia Eagles back In
1949, and a couple of other good
runners look a crack at it. The
same season, Tony CanaHeo had
1.052 for Creen Bay, and Joe
Perry of San Francisco had 1.049
last year. Perry Is the only NFL
player to top l,00Cr yards t w o

first prolessional game and v h o
rolled for 117 against Green Bay
last Saturday, is well ahead of Van
Buren's record pace.
Big Steve had only 451 in the
first six games.

Chuck Taylor1
Has Hopes Of
Stanford Win
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Coach Chuck Taylor has hopes
his unpredictable Stanford Indians
can upset the Southern California
Trojans Saturday at Los Angeles.
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
