SCHOLARSHIP
AGREEMENT is
ACCEPT ABLE E

OAKLAND, Feb. 7. U.P)-Pacific
Coast conference colleges reached
an agreement at their mid-winter
session tending to equalize scholar
ship advantage between state-oWned
and privately-operated colleges,
regarding athletic scholarships
which members may offer prospec-
tive students, according to The Oak
land Tribune.
The reported agreement, on which
conference officials were silent to-
day, provided that each of the pri-
vately-cwned conference schools re-
quire a payment of S25 from every
student receiving an athletic schol-
arship. The payment is equal to the
registration fee at the state-oper-
ated University of California.
The "gentlemen's" pact also pro-
vided that out of state scholarship
holders at the private schools be re-
auired to pay $3.50, an amount
equal to the nonresident fee at the
state schools in California.
1t was recalled that at the mid
winter meeting the conference draft
ed a rule providing that not more
than so per cent of the scholarships
be awarded athletes. At the time
use admitted having 242 athletic
scholarships in force. The ruling
would require the Los Angeles
school to issue as many scholarships
to other students.

BUYS VANCE

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.U.P)-Arthur
c. (Dazzy) Vance, one of the out
standing pitchers of the past de-
cade, was measured today for a
Cincinnati Reds uniform while club
owners of the National League re-
turned home after the annual
scheduled meeting.
The sale of Vance to the Reds by
the st. Louis Cardinals featured
the meeting at the Waldorf -Astor-
la.
This big. red-faced right-hander
of smoke ball fame, whom the Dod-
gers paid $25,000 in 1929, the high
est salary ever given a pitcher, was
sold to Powell Crosley, Jr., and his
Cincinnati associates probably fol-
the waiver price of $7,500.
Approaching Al, Vance appeared
in only % games last season. He
won that many in 1924. OF his 1888
games he won six and lost two. II
was his first and last season with
the Cards who obtained him in a
trade from the Dodgers. He had
spent IL years with Brooklyn. He
is entering his 23rd year of pro-
fessional baseball.
Despite his age and service the
Reds believe that Dazzy may have
one or two good seasons left in the
old arm. Most of the baseball
writer's and players do not.

Ruth Observes
His Birthday

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.U.P)-Babe
Ruth, all-time home run king, to-
day achieved one of his lifetime
ambitions. This is his 40th birth
day and he is still in the major
leagues.
The ripe old baseball age of 40
finds the New York Yankees fa-
nous right fielder somewhat fat,
just recovering from an attack of
influenza and facing probably his
last season in the majors.
He planned quiet birthday at
home with his family. A few close
friends were expected to drop in
and help him cut the cake. He will
entrain for ST. Petersburg, Fla, to-
morrow morning, where he will loai
and golf until the rest of the Yam
kee squad arrive for training.

FAVOR Ross To
Defeat Nebo

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. 7. U.P)
Barney Ross of Chicago, world
lightweight champion, will enter the
ring three-to-one favorite over
Pete Nebo, Miami, Fla, in their II
round bout here tonight.
Ross, whose Junior welterweight
title will be at stake, was confident
he would turn back the challenger
with the same ease with which he
trimmed Billy Petrolle in New York
a few weeks ago.
Backers of the Seminole Indian
fighter, however, claimed their boy
stood an excellent chance of giving
the Chicagoan trouble.
Both boxers have trained asidu-
ously for the bout, which Ross re-
CARDS as an important step in his
campaign to win third title, the
world welterweight crown held by
Jimmy McLarnin.
Imperial Valley press., 1934-02-07

/ NEW YORK, FEB. .. - The Ma
tional League pitcher with the most
stuff on the ball is not Carl Hub
bell nor Dizzy Dean nor Lon War
neke. but one Roy Parmalee, strap
ping right hand chunker of the
New York Giants. Furthermore
Parmalee is the greatest pitching
prospect either league has seen in
years.
At least that's what Larry Mac
Phail of the Cincinnati Reds had TO
say in a bull session of baseball
men and baseball writer's at the
Waldorf Astoria.
u first laid eyes on Roy or
'Tarzan' as the boys call him, when
Il was running the Columbus team
in the American association, - Nc
Phail said. John McGraw sent
him out. He was undoubtedly the
widest pitcher that ever threw
ball. The first game he pitched for
us he walked Is or II men. The
only redeeming feature of his work
in that game was that nobody
could hit him. Those of the oppoS-
ition who didn't walk or get nicked
by wild throws. struck out.
After l had watched him pitch
a couple of times. I decided that
Parmalee never would be any good
using the overland delivery that
McGraw had told him to use. So
wired McGraw for permission to
change his style. John wired back
to go ahead and try anything
that any change was bound to be
for the best inasmuch as he
couldn t be any worse.
We'll. the end of the season
found him with more control, but
not more than enough to be just
an ordinary double A finger.
but how he came along. In
1882 Roy was beaten just once in
the American association. His par
ticular hate was st. Paul. which
club he beat eight times. He start
ed working on st. Paul when he
heard that some OF that team S
players regarded him as yellow.
lone day before a game in st.
Paul Roy came up to me and said:
= Mister MacPhail the umpires
are down on me. They think m
so wild that when I cut a corner
closely they just yell ball out of
habit
Il told him this was probably
true. and that the only way to get
around it was to use his reputation
Imperial Valley press., 1934-02-07

for frightful wildness in soaring the
opposition players. 1 told him that
when he went out on the mound
that day he was to throw the first
ball as wild as he could. Hit the
grandstand with it. Throw it any
where.
well, he did. The first st.
Paul batter came up and Roy un-
corked the widest pitch 1 ever laid
eyes on. 1t hit the screen about
nine feet over the catcher's head.
It had a fine effect. The rest of
the afternoon the st. Paul players
were afraid to come closer than
five feet of the plate, and just stood
off reaching for the balls. Every time
they grew a bit confident, Roy
would cut loose with one toward
the press box and make 'em re-
treat. Another year with the Giants
and he IL burn up the league.

COCHET HERE
To MAKE TOUR

NEW YORK, Feb. T. U.P)-Dap-
per little Henri Cochet, one of the
famous French tennis 'Musketeers, "
gives the United States an even
chance to win the Davis cup from
England this year.
The former world ranking anna
teur who arrived yesterday from
South America for a professional
tour, surprised most American cri-
tics with his optimism regarding the
United States chances.
Cochet pointed out that playing
on grass courts would work to the
advantage of the Americans. 1t will
be the first time since 1927 that the
closing rounds will not be played on
hard courts.
Moreover Cochet figures that
England has no player to team with
Fred Perry in the doubles to present
as strong a combination as that Sc
lected from among Frank Shields,
Wilmer Allison and Sidney Wood.
He believes the United State would
face England with one-match ad-
vantage virtually assured. He had
little hopes of France making the
challenge round.

LOS ANGELES. Feb. :. U.P)-Art
Lasky. Minneapolis heavyweight,
completed another step in his
march toward fistic recognition last
night by stopping Johnny Freeman,
Australian champion, with a tech

of a scheduled 10 round feature

The bout was halted after Free

Australian was granted a few min
