Conference Heads Study
Subsidization Pro be Report
Consider Ather+on
As Commissioner
Of League

LOS ANGEL ES. Jan. 3. up
A bit eingerly today, the faculty
heads of the Pacific coast confer
enoe took up the famous report on
the subsidi2ation of athletes made
by the former G-man. Edwin N
Atherton.
The report will not be made pub
lie There will be an indirect indi-
cation of what it contains, however
for the report is expected to result
IN many changes in the conferences
organization and practices. One OF
the forecast results is the hiring
of Atherton himself, at s25.000 a
year. to referee the conferences
athlete hiring.
Atherton spent two years on the
report. at reputed salary of $4,000
a year. His yoluminous results were
finally made complete yesterday,
with a filing on the chapter on
Montana, the last OF the ten con-
ference schools.
Making the rounds of the confer
ence campi. questioning and prob
ing. the sleuth is reputed TO have
dug up numerous histories of how
and why certain star athletes hap
pened to attend the colleges they
did. He made a thorough study of
the extent and the abuses in the
practice of Turing high school and
junior college stars and keeping the
husky young men with salaried
campus jobs.
Atherton, because of the intimate
knowledge of the problem he has
Gained in making the investigation,
was reported under consideration
for a new job to be known as ath-
letic commissioner Of the cnfer-
ence. He presumably would be Civ
en- the power TO regulate the matter
of athletic substituting. This would
not conflict with the post of Herb
Dana. who names all officials for
conference athletic contests.
Bob Blenkinsop. University OF
Oregon end, was granted another
year of eligibility. He broke an arm
during the first two minutes of the
Cregon-USC game on Sept. 80. This
was before Oregons school term
started. and he stayed out all Sc
mester.
But Chuck Bechtol, University OF
washington quarterback, who also
broke an arm, was turned down
Bechtol fractured his arm during
the first game of the season
against Pittsburgh. He played no
more until the Washington-USC
game. when he rebroke the same
arm.
Freshmen were made eligible for
varsity ski teams.

Today's Sports Parade

Rose Bowl with a bigger build-up
and no team ever had less chance
to win. Despite this, Tennessee,
with a few breaks of the game,
could have "stolen" a tie, and I use
the word stolen" purposely. Take
away the slugging penalty that put
the ball on their 2-yard line with
only a minute and 40 seconds to
play in the first half. and elimi-
nate the tumble by fullback New
man late in the game, and the Vols
might have come out with a 90
or TT tie.
Any sportsman with a liking for
victory by the better team must be
glad that such a tie didn't result.
Because Southern California was
at least two, and perhaps three
touchdownS the better club on New
Years. The Trojans had the bet
ter line, the better backfield, the
better quarterbacking and the better
spirit When a team with that many
advantages doesn't win it's a shame,
Not only a shame but robbery.
Tennessee was not lacking in one
department, however During all the
time they were riding high and
winning game after game, they ne
yer forgot how to lose From Coach
Neyland down to the last despair
ing substitute, they took their lick
ing with warming graciousness.
They made no excuses, but simply
said a great team had beaten them
badly.
They lost the game. but not the
respect of any who met them or saw
them

Christmas vacation and Brawley has
d squad which has playeG together
for four years.
Calexico's rangy basketeers will
pin their hopes on Jack Bowker.
Garlic and Valencia. Brawley will
depend upon Skiles, Nakamura and
Rodriguez.
Holtville's high scorers are Cen
ter Walter Bucket and Forward
Kozo Sanbonmatsu. If the Spartans
can stop those lads FL Centre can
win.
Jack OsWalt, Jack Kirkpatrick
and Warren Riedy appear to be the
big guns in the Spartan attack.
Both varsity games will be pre-
ceded by Glass B and Glass c games.
Brawley's Gees are defending league
champions. El Centro's Bees have
