Davis, who arrived at the session wearing dark glasses, presented a certificate from a physician which said, "Davis is still my care, has extensive lacerations under the right eyelid and has blurred vision of the right eye." To counter this, the Commission had its physician, Dr. William Walker, and three other physicians on its staff examine Davis during the meeting.

19 UP). Stan ford unofficially appeared today to- be a house divided on the subject ot a Rose Bowl opponent, provided, of course, the Indians are nominated for the New Year's Day football classic as they confidently expect. Sentiment of a few of the players willing to discuss the matter on a basis of anonymity Indicated they would favor Texas A M. for a Rose Bowl battle. The Stanford boys think their fullback Norman Standlee would show up-the Texas Aggies steam roller, John Kim-brough.

The Stanford coaching staff, at least at the top, would welcome a match with Minnesota, which is prohibited by. Big Ten rules, from participating in post-season contests. Clark Shaughnessy, whose formation hoisted Stanford from the cellar to the peak in one season, was first string fullback at Minnesota In 1913. His substitute was Bernle Bierman, highly successful present Minnesota mentor. At the football writers' meeting today, Shaughnessy was asked if he thought there was a chance of the Big Ten heads changing their attitude on post-season games.

He said he thought not but hastened to explain it was merely a personal opinion based on past experiences in the conference. "I think it would be a fine thing for football if the Big Ten would Change that rule," he said. "An annual game between the winners of the Middle West and Pacific Coast Conference teams would ere ate one of the greatest games of the year." Officially not a peep was heard from Stanford pending selection of tha western representative by the conference members, which may not be forthcoming for two weeks.

As a result Jeffra won the round. That flurry seemed to have ao- nrhftd most of Jeffra's strength for he elected to slug it out toe-to- toe In 'the ninth nut ne too tne most punishment. Speary's bombardment brought cheers from the throng. He hammered three hard lefts to the body and followed up with another attack to the head before Jeffra yielded ground.

In the meantime Billy bont hnmmerinar awav, at Harry's stomach in his usual and reliable manner. In the third round Jeffra backed, Speary into the ropes and hit him with two rights and a left to the head but Billy came out swinging and soon had Jeffra retreating.

In the fourth Jeffra leveled half dozen hard rights at Speary's head and they found their mark to bring him the round.

On the scorecards of the writers at the ringside, Roach was credited with a win. He cut Gall's eye in the second and had his nose bleeding in the late rounds. Gall was tunable to do anything against Roach's crouching style. It was a split decision among the officials.
