Coach Sheldon Loug:lborough, the

Calexico will invade Brawley Fri

potent by expert blocking, perfect

and shirts torn off him by ram
paging lInesmen and backs. But
when you consider what a tremen-
dously important part they play in
football you realize how sorely un-
derpaid officials are. Football is
big business these days, what with
tremendous crowds of upwards OF
100000 and box office receipts OF
as much as quarter of a million
dollars for single game.
Looking at football honestly it is
vast entertainment enterprise run
by schools and universities 1t de
pands just as much on public sup
port as does a professional ball
team, musical comedy, or SYM
phony orchestra. So what do the
colleges do? They entrust the en-
tire thing to men whose services are
worth only $75 per production. To
pay a man $75 for handling a game
is the same in many respects as
putting a million dollars into cast
ing and preparing a motion picture
for shooting, and then hiring a
tWo-bit director to shoot it. Or
building a tremendous industrial
plant and picking up fellow on
the street and hiring him as fore
man for little or nothing.
Officials can make or break a
game Too little whistle blowing
here, too much whistle blowing
there, too strict Interpretation OF
the rules, too lax Interpretation, all
of these things can spoil an after
noon for coaches, teams, and spec
tators alike No official should be
paid less than $3.50 for big game
When the gate gets into five and SIX
figures that does not seem too bic
a sum to pay the men entrusted
with its handling.
What do coaches and colleges eX-
pect to get for $50 and $75? Supreme
court justices?
To get back to the squaWks of the
coaches, ] think that a good deal
of their yapping over decisions by
officials would be stopped if, inn
medlately alter every game, CileS
had to turn in a list of the plays
on which they thought the men II
charge erred. This list could not be
added to later, but would have to DC
final. This would eliminate the bus
mess of watching slow motion ic-
lures of the game and detecting
flaws from it. After all the officials
don't have the benefit of SLOW
motion shot in making up theil
minds. They have to trust to theil
eyesight and call the plays as they
see them. I think the coaches
should be made to do the samt
thing. This business of watching {
picture on Monday and then setting
up a howl is second guessing in it
purest form-and 1 have heard i
rumored that second guessing il
one thing a football coach abhors

was somewhat worried because his
charges are pointing for the Holt

Imperial. on the other hand, would
like nothing better than a victory
over the Ell Centre Spartans.
While Imperial footballers rested
Monday after a week of intensive
practice, Ell Centre high ran thru
stiff prep session Monday after
noon. Blocking, running and indi-
vidual line assignments were stress
ed and pass and running defense
came in for a share of attention.
Big Fred Robertson, who has been
laboring as a substitute tackle all

ton Monday afternoon in practice.
He ran the ball well, showed prom
ise of becoming a good punter, a
better than average passer. He lacks
needed speed but that will be over
come by practice.

NEW YORK, Oct. 81. (UP)-Don-
aid Duck with a sore throat couldn't
do any better job of squaWking than
many of the country's football
coaches are doing this season over
the officiating at their games.
In the south, in the midwest,
on the coast and here in the east
the coaches have been belaboring
the men with the whistles and guns
and the yardsticks with every cri-
tical word in their vocabularies.
They have accused the officials of
robbery, spelling games for the pub
lie, losing their heads under pres
sure, and darn near everything but
hoss stealing and jay-Walking.
None of my best friends are Of
ficialS. but it seems to me that it
is time someone with a typewriter
rose to make defense, even though
it be a mild one, of the haraSSed
souls. I'm not saying that football
officiating is generally inadequate,
but 1 do say that if it is, the COL
leges are to blame. What do you
think an official gets for handling
a big football game? A lot of mo-
ney? No. He gets scarcely more
than haircut, shave and shine mo-
ney. Here in the east an official is
paid S75 for a big game. In the mid
west the fee is slightly lower, and
in the southeastern conference the
pay is S62.50 and expenses.
That's a trifling sum when you
consider the work a man does in
handling a game. Take a referee,
for example He'll wear out six
pair of shoes just running up and
down the field in a season, and get
almost that many pair of pants

Portland Asos Over o.S.c.
Chances for Bowl Date
Beavers to Play
Trojans in Coast
Feature Saturday

PORTLAND. Ore. Oct. 81. (UPl
= On street corners and in the
smoky dens where the sporting
fraternity gathers. the boys were
talking up today a football game,
Oregon State college VS.. Southern
California, and the fact that it will
be the main event on the Pacific
coast-indeed one of Saturdays ma
tional standoutS-had this sedate
city of roses as jittery as a June
bride.
If Oregon States Beavers can
trip the Trojans in Portland's
Multonomah stadium they will just
about hit the jackpot in Pacific
coast conference football. Because,
barring the grayest upset. the team
that wins this game should hustle
through the remaining schedule to
the 1899 championship and a date
in the Rose Bowl
Loyal Oregonians viewed this
prospect almost as if it were a
mirage, and we'll they might for
Oregon State has never in history
won a title or a Bowl date. Never
theless these supporters thought
partly on history, mostly on hope,
Southern California could be taken.
The history is this: The Trojans
can produce more power than
Boulder dam, they can throw more
reserves into the field than the
Tt G Army or, M. day they can
ride along as the best football team
west of the Continental Divide, but
come the oregon State game and
they're just another club. This
has been going on for six years,
ever since Lon Stiner started coach
