 One thing is certain, Biff will have no trouble keeping friends, fans, parents and fraternity brothers of his Oklahoma players out of the dressing room. Naturally, everybody remembers his classic expulsion of Huey Long. The Sooners will have the dressing room all to themselves this year.

 The idea of providing Juneau youth with healthful. wholesome recreation apparently proved popular with the adult generation also. Several Ju- neau citizens appeared at the meet ing last night and pledged assistance and support.
 The boys will meet again at the Elks Hall at 2 o'clock next Friday night. Hereafter, there will be two regular meetings each week-Tues- day and Friday nights from ' to 9 o'clock. The boys are requested to take ropes suitable for rope skipping to the next meeting. Two sets of boxing gloves were brought to the last meeting, but activities were con- fined to organization.
 A Monitors committee, in charge of the club room and equipment dur ing the absence of officers Gilbert so hand Junge, was appointed last night, consisting of Earl Monagle, Robbie Ferbie, and Verne Hussey.
 Tn addition to the committee mem hers, the following lads attended the meeting: Tommy Hall, Kenneth AL len, Eddie Saloum.

CHICAGO, H., Oct. 23.-Baseball Commissioner K. M. L ndis has sliced up the biggest world series player melon in the history of the game. He has given each player of the Detroit Tigers $6,544 but has with held the share of the players of the Cubs, amounting to $4,198.
 Although many believe the player share of the Cubs is withheld for fine levying purposes on account of the Cubs battles with Umpire George Moriarty, Commissioner Landis ex- plained the delay by saying: We have not had time yet to mail their checks

Riff Jones is frank to say the Oklahoma coaching job is the hard est he ever faced But he also de- clares in the very next breath that 1t is the most pleasant. He doesn't have nearly the material he had at Army md Louisiana State Against Nebras- ka, Texas and Kansas State he bucks three teams with plenty of strength. He is bound to lose some games this fall. But after he gets his system in- stalled, the average should rise.
 Even be fore Oklahomans had seen his Sooners play, the whole state "cottoned" to him. Last sum- mer he travelled all over the state speaking to and getting acquainted with friends and alumni. Mobs greeted him everywhere, even had bands in some cities, turning out in shirt sleeves and mopping their necks in the broiling July heat just to see and hear Jones.
 InstaIls Business Measures
 The first thing Jones did was to busy himself with the task of com- plctely overhauling Oklahoma's fast crumbling athletic plant and equip ment. Thanks to Riff thes Sooners now have big league training equip ment-scrimmage machines, charg- ing sleds, a water wagon, whirlpool baths, etc. Also he put the schools athletic finances into business-like order, cutting expenses and facilitat- ing the whole plan. He has shown everyone that he has soInd, progress i've ideas about business as well as football He is athletic director at Oklahoma and has really put his house in order.

VERBAL CRACK AT JOE LOUIS
 BY L0UCHRAN
Philadelphia Phantom Does Not Rate New
 Fistic Man, Tops
By ROGER D. GREENE

LONDON, Oct. 23.-Jce Louis may be hailed generally as the greatest 1 fighter since Jack Johnson, but Tommy Loughran, the veteran Phil adelphia Phantom doesn't rate Americas newest fistic sensation as | tops.
 F"Louis is good, all right Lough- ran said, arriving here for series of bouts against England's leading lheavyweights, but he has to do lot more before he can be thought of in the same category with Dempsey, or even Tunney."
 Conqueror of both Jim Braddock and Max Baer, Loughran declared:
 T think American sports writers have let this black boy go to their heads little.
 "Baer went into that fight with little hope of winning. His hands have been almost useless for the past year I'm sure if he'd owned two good hands, he could have held his own against Louis and maybe beaten him"
 Tommy Rcvives Ring Game
 Old-timer of the pugilistic wars 1 though ne is, Loughran is hailed here as the impetus needed to pull British boxing out of the doldrums. Bleak years of yawning at such drab leather-p -pushers as Painting Phil" Scott, George Peterson and Len Harvey have soured the clients to apoint where they stay away from their own exhibitions and read wist- fully of such American s'giganticsp as the Baer-Louis Battle of the Century
 London newspapers flared huge front page headlines about the De troit Bomber" and the ...Livermore 1 Larruper,' cramping even Musso- lini's space-grabbing style with big pictures of Baer and Louis, and showing the Italian dictator and his Ethiopian quarrel almost off the front pages.
 English sports scribes delight in rolling the colorful descriptive tag lines of American boxers off their typewriters, but oddly enough they shy at labelling their own home products with such adjectival titles.
 And that, as viewed by visiting fifsmen from America is the chief cause of the current slump. l Undignified, You Know
 Loughran, for example is billed to fight either Ambrose Palmer, the Australian; Len Harvey, the Cor nishman, or Maurice Strickland, the New zealander.
 Ambrose" or Maurice" as fighting monicker would bring howls and not a few "yoo hoos!" from an American clientele. It might help some if the fight scribes decorated them with the British equivalent of tho Brown Bomber. Over here, how ever, it would be considered undigni- fled-with the result that the cus- toners, after reading American bal lyhoo, lose interest in their own tin- ear fraternity and the promoters chalk up fancy sums in red ink.
 Right now, they are banking on Loughran to revive interest in the manly art, and the veteran Tommy's arrival was met by an almost un- paralleled burst of fistic chatter from the Fleet-street columnists. Cricket, rugger and even horse-racing which usually crowd British sports pages to the exclusion of boxing dropped off to a record low-water marx ss result of the Loughran fight boom

But the Alumni came with a

BY GEORGE T. DAVIS

PASADENA, Cal, Dec. 27.-Stan-
ford's big Red machine today
resumed work in an attempt to
bolster it's defense against South

during a practice session sched-
uled at Brookside Park.
The Indians arrived here yes

too many passes against the var
Sity to satisfy the coaching staff.
They showed plenty of class in
all other departments yesterday,
with the workout being featured
by Bill Paulman's kicking.
Kicks 'em Far
The stocky blond sent the pig
skin Spiralling IS and 10 yards
down the field with such height
that even as fine safety man as
Jimmy Coffis had trouble catch
ing the puntS. Paulmans efforts
were from quick kick formations
and not even Frank Alustiza, who
was standing nearby, could have
produced better results.
Monk" Moscrip, injured end,
was to resume his place in the
lineup today and felt certain he
would be able to last most of the
game against the Mustangs. In
his last practice at Palo Alto, the
all-American flankman sent the
pigskin between the posts on 30
consecutive kicks from the 30-yard
line. With Moscrip absent from
yesterdays practice, his berth was
filled by the diminutive Alex
Trompas who displayed much
speed in going down the field
under Paulman'S puntS.
Keith Topping, right end, also
exhibited speed and spent much
time in grabbing passes out of the
air with the gracefulnesS of Iris
Speaker fielding fly ball.
Starting Lineup
Coach Tiny" Thornhill def
nitely decided upon the starting
lineup of the Reds, with Moscrip
and Topping, ends; Reynolds and
PEBBLE, tackles; Rouble and Adams,
guards; Muller, center; Paulman,
quarter; Hamilton and Coffis,
halfbacks; and Grayson, fullback.
The boys. in perfect physical
shape with exception of Moscrip,
exhibited quiet confidence of
victory, with none of the over
confidence of the Columbia game
nor the careless attitude shown
against Alabama.

Thompson has won a regular

He is little, but he makes up
for this by his ability to elude
the opposition when in a scoring
position. In addition, he han

Eddie is a good performer from
the free toss line. He has de-
