come forward, and if it is held the prize money is almost certain to be sliced to $5,000. &
 Irony note: Tn 1925 Gus Tender son was kicked out as head coach of football at Southern California and replaced by Howard Jones. . Now Henderson, coach of the pro. fessional Los Angeles Bulldogs who have won 12 straight without even 6 tie, is being mentioned aS the T'ro- jan's next head coach. Tn San Francisco, where the citizenry be- lieves the California football team
 is the most superb ever assembled five will get you ten if you like Alabama in the Rose Bowl. The fact that Alabama has always been the underdog in the Rose Bowl, but has won three and tied one in four trips, doesn't disturb the confidence of the boys at all. It costs the California race track bettor about l8 cents on the dollar to make @ wager. The track takes eight per cent and breakage, and the state four per cent. Santa Anita could take eight per cent but in magnificent gesture toward the suckers announced 1t would be con. tent with two per cent less. ..
 Tom Lieb, Loyola coach, says the longest forward pass of the season was not the one thrown by U. O. L. As Kenny Washington in the Southern California game, but Q 66- yard toss by his Jack Lyons in the tiff with Villanoya.
 It must have cheered Joe Louis to hear that Gene Tunney had picked Max schmeling to knockout the Detroit negro in an early round. T.. If there is any worse picker of fights than e sportswriter then 1t iS former boxing champion. The late Jim Corbett was the worst. Jim missed them all with e beauti- full regularity. And Jim prob- ably knew more about the business of box fighting than any man who ever lived. .. Purely perso nal note to Andy Anderson of Houston and the Rice football team; who was 1t that told you, and over 0 loud- speaker. too, that Rice would win the southwest conference title? Santa Anita clockers are saying that Bing Or osby's Chilean steed, Ligaroti, if early morning workouts mean anything, is Q ciiich for the $l00,000 Santa Anita handicap. ,. . The trouble Is, the handicap IS run in the afternoon and the sunrise shadow boxing doesn't count. A former Q-man, E. N. Therton, Is being mentioned as the man who will get tho job of athletic commH- Sioner of the Pacific coast confer. ence, Q position created last year.
 Those race fans who would give their all to see SeabiScuit and War Admiral hook up in the Santa Anita handicap arc anXiously awaiting the assignments of weight for the rich race. The weights will be released on Wednesday and there is Q general feeling out here that If War Admiral Is assigned the same weight as Seabiscuit, or even c pound or two less, his owners will be sure to pass up the race and ship tho Man O War pride to Florida. -. Top weight is i30, and seabis- cult and Rosemont, last years win. iler, are sure to get just that. . Given an irnpost of l28 or there- abouts, War Admiral probably would be brought here for Q shot ct the tenth of e million purse. Jess Willard, Jr, son of the former champion, is 0 member of the Uni. versity of Washington boxing team. And his best punch is--you guessed it--a right uppercut.
