Butts Still
in The Dark
Doesn't Know
Bowl Opponent
By FRANK FRAWLEY

PASADENA,, Calf, Dec. 2
(P-Wallace Butts, who coaches
the University of Georgia foot
bali team, has the choice OF
scouting his potential Rose Bowl
opponents Saturday in Los An
peies or San Antonio, Tex.
Washington State plays Texas
Aggies in oil San Antonio and
there's one of those bargain
basement attractions here, a
marathon double-header bring
ing together UCLA's Bruins and
the University of Idaho and Uni
versity of Southern California;
Trojans against Montana.
Los Angeles might be the bet
ter bet for butts. The weather Is
nice at this time of the year in
both places, but the trip to San
Antonio probably would be a
pleasure junket entirely. Macs
tro Butts could combine bust
ness with pleasure here.
In fact, it's hard to see how
Washington State is going to get
into the New Years game. The
Cougars undoubtedly have a
good football team. They have
lost only one game this season,
but it was to Southern Califor-
mia, 26 to IL, and they have
closed their Pacific Coast con-
ference season with five vic
tories and q scoreless tie with
the University of Washington.
If UCLA beats the Trojans
here Dec. IL it's UCLA against
Georgia, for by that time the
Bruins will have six victories,
one defeat and no ties in confer
ence competition. If the Tro-
jams win this city battle, UCLA
is out of consideration with two
defeats, and Washington State
then is tied with Washington in
the standing but has that 26-l2
decision against it. All this as
sumes, Of course, that Trojans
and Bruins win their games this
week against Montana and
Idaho, respectively.
If UCLA and use battle to
tie the Trojans are out of it
and UCLA and Washington
State share first place, but
UCLA has q more representative
schedule in its favor. Washing
ton State didn't meet California
or UCLA.
The coast conference faculty
representatives decide who they
want in the Rose Bowl Every
one Of the major institutions has
had q fling at II except UCLA,
so il the Bruins win or get q tie

they'll get the New Years

Ray Robinson Still Doing
Business at the Old Stond

Jannazzo probably could have
saved himself a lot of punish
ment by not mixing it with
Robinson but he was long on
courage. Every time Jannazzo
landed one blow he took three
or four in return from Robinson.
Izzy even staggered Sugar with
a hard right in the fifth, but
that only brought on a furry of
hard let's and rights from Su-
gar.
The match was the second be-
tween Robinson and Jannazzo
in recent weeks. Icy droppd a
10-round decision to Robinson in
Philadelphia but was far out
classed last night by the I'M
beaten Sugar, who now has won
1874 fights, amateur and pro.
1t took big Harry Bobo Of
Pittsburgh, 211-pound aspirant
for the world heavyweight
championship, only two minutes
and 40 seconds of the opening
stanza to knock out Larry Lane
of Trenton, N, j., in bout listed
for 10 rounds. Lane weighed
10l.
Ezzard Charles, 21-year-old
Cincinnati light heavyweight, at
166 gave away 10 pounds in his
10-round re-match with heavy
weight Joey Maxim of Cleve-
land, but this was no handicap
as Charles registered his second
win of the year over the Cleve-
lander.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2 It
seems that Sammy Angott's abb
dication is going to lead us into
another one of those long elimi-
nation tournaments which in the
past have resulted in all hands
eliminating themselves.
Angott va Ca e d the light
weight championship because he
could no longer make 1875
pounds and his hands would not
stand further campaigning.
Meanwhile, Beau Jack, the
Augusta Negro, cut up and stop
ped Allie Stolz and is now
matched with Tippy Larkin in
hereunder at Madison Square
Garden, Dec. 10.
Larkin, a resident of Garfield,
N. j., established himself in re-
cent efforts by beating Carmine
Fatta, Leo Kodak and Freddie
Archer.
So why not declare the win
ner of the Larkin-Jack engage
ment champion and have it over
with? After all, Jack disposed
of Stolz, who was the ranking
challenger of Angott.
But commissions have a way
of balling things up, and both
the New York board and Ma
tional Boxing Association insist
upon a tournament dragged out
through the elimination OF,

Against State
oosterboon Has
One Week to
Ready His Squad
BY PAUL CHANDLER

ANN ARBOR, MICH, Dec. 2
-(R-In one week coach Ben
ME Oosterbaan has two big
jobs:
Cd He must prepare his Uni
versity of Michigan basketball
team for an opening game with
Michigan State next Monday;
(2) He must examine the
abilities of half a dozen football
players who are destined to play
major roles on the cage squad.
Because of the late football
closing, and peculiar situation
where many of the most valu-
able basketball men were WORK
ing for coach Fritz Crisler until
last Saturday, Oosterbaan has
many problems not shared by
other college mentors.
AS yet he has no idea about a
starting lineup, except that big
Jim Mandler will probably be
the center, by virtue of two pre-
vious years of experience.
Oosterbaan himself is getting
his first real glimpse of the
candidates this week. The squad
must be cut drastically in the
next few days. The footballers
must be given enough work to
find their shooting eyes and
harden their feet. New Sophie
more talent must be evaluated.
And an offense must be built for
this first game.
FAST STYLE
Mr.. Bonnie has indicated that
he will stick to the same semi
fast break style that the Wolver-
ines have used for the past two
seasons. His cagers have been
instructed to shoot frequently
and drive for re-bounds-the
theory being that enough points
will be scored on the percent
age" basis to win ball games.
Oosterbaan has more height
at his disposal this season than
in many recent seasons. Leo
Doyle and Ralph Gilbert, both
veteran, Sophomore Bob Wiese,
and Mandler all tower well ov-
er the six foot mark. 1t is not a
bad bet that these four boys will
start against the Spartans.
Wiese is a gridder, and per-
haps the best Sophomore candi-
date. Merv Pregulman, Don
Lund, Bob Chappius, and Paul
White are other football players
who starred on the hardcourt IN
high school.
Morrie Bikoff, pint-sizer
with a keen eye for the basket
is q veteran. Bill Mac Con-
nachie, Bob Shemky,' and Mel
Comm also saw action last sea-
son.
Oosterbaan Is surrounded by
Sophomore hopefuls and Michi-
gan's hopes for an improved sea-
son probably hinge on these men
and the gridders.
