Won't Take a Chance.

""AKE this Yarosz dhe middle
weight king. What's he done
since he won the title? I'll tell
you. He's been sitting on it. He's
had q few over-the-weight bouts, but
you're not catching him sticking his
chin out at anybody he thinks might
take him.
This Babe Risko slipped over a
fast one. but it was non-title bout
and didn't count. Even at that, you
don't hear Yarosz hollering for re-
turn match.
About all Barney Ross is doing is
going around the country telling folks
he won't fight in Madison Square
Garden. That's all right. But don't
see him doing any fighting anywhere.
A fine come-off.
And the welterweight champion,
Jimmy McLarnin. He is so keen to
defend his championship that he
won't even reply to offers. Titles are
ok. If you've got champions who de-
fend them. If not. pitch them out
Of the window. That's my story and

United Press Staff Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. WP) -
Never, in all his 43 years of coach
ing, has Amos Alonzo Stagg, foot
balls grand old man, been SO pessi-
mistic as he is today as his College
of Pacific eleven prepares to do
battle with the University of South
crn California at Los Angeles Sat-
urday.
Despairing the lack of weight Of
his squad, the paucity of reserves,
the absence of husky linemen and
fast backs the dean of college
coaches fears" the Trojans will
slaughter the little college team to
which he came three years ago
when University of Chicago dis
missed him as too old"
When Stagg is pesSimistic, it's
time for the other fellow to watch
his p'S and qS, make certain his
team is geared in high, and shoot
all he has to gain victory.
The USC-CCP game occupies a
minor place in the schedule which
Pacific coast teams have arranged
for what is for most of them the
second week of the season.
The game most of the experts
will be watching, whether they're
present or not, takes place in Seat
tie, where Clipper Smiths Santa
Clara University team meets Jimmy
Phelan's University of Washington
squad.
University of California, not quite
over the scare Whittier gave them,
meets st. Mary's in their tradition
al battle. On paper st. Mary's
should beat the squad Spud Allison
is developing slowly at Berkeley.
Oregon VS.. U. c. L. A.
U. G. L. A. and Oregon State meet
at Portland in the only conference
engagement The Bruins from Los
Angeles have possibilities of de-
veloping into the strongest team in
the conference.
Stanford, crippled by first game
injuries. Meets University of San
Francisco in battle between two
Warner system teams that is always
close.
Washington State, whose schedule
offers it a splendid try for the con-
ference title, plays its final breath
or" in taking on Willamette at
Pullman.
Idaho will be out for revenge over
Gonzaga for last years beating and
Ted Banks boys are likely to get
what they go after.
Montana, fresh from good game
against use, plays a home state
rival, the Montana State array.
Oregon will be entertaining an
intersectional rival, the University
Of Utah team which for the last
decade has more or less dominated
the Rocky Mountain area.

WINNER
OVER STE|NKE
IN GOOD BOUT

Wrestling fans who craved action
got their fill at the city limits arena
last night and a full house cheered
Justify throughout the three matches
dished up for their pleasure by
Pete Buzukus, local matchmaker.
Each bout was a thriller from
start to finish but probably the
most exciting moments were re-
corded in the final event in which
Vincent Lopez, CALIFORNIA; worlds
heavyweight champion, took Hans
Steinke to the cleaners by two falls
out of the regulation three, well
within the hour limit set for the
match.
Steinke was the stronger OF the
two grapplers but Lopez was like
IN eel and wriggled out of every
hold the German used to pin him
to the mat. In addition to this
Lopez reSorted to his rough tactics
and had his opponent groggy dur
ing most of the match.
Lopez won the first fall in 20
minutes by a body spread after he
had knocked Steinke groggy by
several well-placed elbow Wallops.
He also won the second fall in
about five minutes by a repetition
of the same tactics.
It was during this fall, however,
that the real excitement of the eve
hing occurred. Herb Stegman, Los
Angeles, undertook to referee the
match in place of Bill Tackett.
Herb, appearing like pigmy along
side his two mountainous charges,
did his stuff in his usually efficient
way and was in the thick of the
struggle continuously.
Referee Cold
Suddenly and without a word OF
warming, a wild swing caught Herb
q cuff on the side of the head and
sent him slithering across the ring
and out through the ropes into the
ringside seats. He was knocked
colder than a picked herring and
stayed on the ground for several
moments.
In the meantime Lopez and
Steinke staged a battle royal in the
ring and Steinke pinned Lopez to
the mat but with the referee oGc
of the picture completely there
WAS no one to award him the fall.
Lopez wiggled out of the difficulty
again and then worked Steinke
until he had the German stagger-
ing about the ring and then put the
finishing touches by pinning him to
the canvas.
Following the matches Buzukus
was host to the WreStlerS and a
group of friends at a banquet in
the Silver Slipper, Imperial. Lopez
was unable to remain with the
group long after being introduced
as he had to catch plane for
Mexico City where he is to wrestle
Man Mountain Dean soon.
Antonio F'elez took two falls from
AL Bisignano in the special while
Jack Washburn did the same to
Milo Steinborn in the opener but
the latter was awarded the decid-
ing fall when Referee Bill Tackett
found that Jack had been using
Absorbine Junior to apply to Stein
borns eyes during the match. The
stuff smarted to such an extent
that Steinborn was almost unable
to continue. Both these matches
were plenty rough and exciting.
