battles of the century, half-cen-

tonight will provide the setting for
! something new-a battle of the
! room -mates.s
In one corner will be Make
Rosenbloon, light heavyweight
champion of the world. and in
the other, Bob Olin. challenger.
Make and Bob are room-mates.
Throughout the summer they tour
ed the far west together. sharing
everything, including the direction
of the same manager. When the
dice went against Make it was
Bob who lent him money, and
when Olin returned from a fight.
tender and bruised. il was Rosen-
bloom who dabbed him with iodine
and comforted him.
So. when tonight's match was
arranged, with the IT'S pound title
on the block, we who write box
ing thought it our duty to raise
alarm, point accusing finger, and
wag heads knowingly.
Its a love match we said. and
debates as to whom would give the
groom away and which of the two
men would make the first grace
ful dive into the tank, started at
once.
But We were wrong. Investiga-
ton revealed that. during their
trip Make and Bob developed a
lovely and enduring hatred for
one another. So bitter were they
at the close of the tour, that both
were wearing their own shirts
and ties and passing the ketchup
only when asked.
The first rift came over tube
OF tooth-paste. Olin is a devoted
follower of the -from-the
bottom of -the-tube school.
Rosenbloom, q follower of no
school. insisted on using a catch
as-catch-can grip of the tooth
paste, squeezing It now in the
middle. now at the bottom, and
now at the top. Furthermore. he
is an arch top-leaver-offer. They
clashed.
They clashed again, this time
over the covers of the bed. From
childhood, Olin has placed prem
ium on keeping his feet covered.
Rosenbloom's chief thought was to
shelter his shoulders. Consequent
", their nights resembled moth
ing SO much as tug-of-war be-
tween the freshman and sopho-
more classes on dads day. The
fact that they are prize fighters
explains why they never thought
of twin-beds.
Things went from bad to worst
until, as I said before. they be-
came very embittered. Tonight,
under the glare of the footlights,
they will settle their grudge. My
guess is that before it's over, Olin
will regret he ever fused at
Make, or pouted when Make
handled the tooth paste tube as
though it was garden hose.

AVALON. CATALINA ISLAND,
Nov. 16. U.Pi-The task of sche-
alternating was taken up as the
final major issue by Pacific Coast
league club owners at the final
session of their two-day meeting
here today.
Alternate schedules were pro-
posed, one retaining the past full
week series and another calling
for a three or four-day series. The
latter was submitted by Alfy Put
nam of the San Francisco club.
The clubowners also were to dis
cuss the advisibility of shortening
the season two weeks in order to
clear the boards for the major
league world series and intercol-
legiate football A split season with
a weeks playoff for the winners
was virtually assured. The season
will start April 6.
A threatened fight over the presi-
dency failed to materialize at the
opening session when Hyland F.
Baggerly was reelected for the
third time. David P. Fleming, presi-
dent of the Los Angeles club. had
expressed a preference for chance
but when the election was called
Fleming placed Baggerly's name
in nomination and moved for his
unanimous election. Other mag
mates concurred.
Baggerly's salary will be as
usual $4,000 year. minus an an
announced cut he volunteered last
year, it was understood.

OUTSTANDING HERO OF FOOTBALL
ROYALTY GREETED AT WISCONSIN

Mitchell, an obscure lumberman.
Hid His Identity
After leaving school he estab-
lished a law practice in San Fran
cisco. The hero worship of his
football days followed him. He got
tired of just being a football hero
and decided to shed his identity.
O'Dea played football at Wisconsin
four years, from 1896 to 1899. A
toss of a coin in 1898 gave him
the captaincy, all honor he did
not wish. Two of us tied in the
voting and each wanted the other
to have it," he said. we flipped
coins and I was it"
He came from Australia to enter
the University Of Wisconsin and to
become probably the greatest kick
er of all time. Many OF his punts
travelled 100 yards in the air and
one, against Yale in 1899, Travelled
ITO yards.
Against Minnesota in 1897 he
punted los yards against the wind.
His dropkicks carried SO yards and
more to give Wisconsin winning
points in many games.
The incident he remembers best
occurred in 1888, when he sent the
ball SIS yards over the goal posts
and into the lap Of a girl sitting
in the stands.
Il told one of the boys on the
team just before I kicked. see
that girl in the red dress? I'm
going to put the ball in her lap

DESCRIBES
LIFE BENEATH SEA
Only Morons Among Fish
Are Caught by Trawling,
He Tells Audience.

Only the "morons" among deep
sea fish ever are caught by present
trawling methoos, DR.. William Beebe
said last night in describing some Of
the startling discoveries made during
his ocean descent in the Bathysphere.
The noted naturalist and explorer
was speaking before guests of the Ma
tional Geographic Society at Consti-
tuition Hall, giving detailed descrip-
ton of some of the deep-sea creatures
unseen before he made his 3,028-foot
dive into ocean waters near Bermuda.
Some of these we're captured in nets,
but most of them were studied only
by watching them through the thick
quartz eyes Of the Bathysphere.
Motion pictures and colored slides
depicted the various aspects of the
work at New Nonsuch, the headquar-
ters of Dr. Beebes staff in Bermuda.
In addition to the various dives
sealed N the BGthysphere, there is
much work with nets, the diving
helmet and along shore. Some of the
deep-sea fish brough up in the nets
could be kept alive for day or two
by placing them in ice water.
One of DR.. Beebe's most amusing
stories concerned efforts of his staff
artist to paint under water. The
wooden brushes constantly f1oated TO
tho ton unless they were tied IN the
easel, and small fishes clustered
around the pigments like gnats and
had to be constantly shooed away.
Several good underwater paintings
we're obtained, he said.
