PIPEFULS forbid that Bob Powers, chief of police, ever fall into deep water with all his medals pinned onto him for he will sink like an anvil. On second thought it is doubtful if Bob could get all his medals on his chest despite the fact that it is broad and deep for he must have a bushel of them all earned fairly and squarely by his brilliant pistol and rifle shooting. This week at the shoot of the pistol league held at the sheriff's range, Kern River Park, Bob won seven more medals. Bud Heckman, son of the assistant chief, returned home with more medals Including some of gold as did F. C.

First ttaca SiIS Admlaafen 4Oc Children lOc Plus 4s 44s For RcMrvad State Oall S484 INSIPI PARKINO aOa IB re SUBS (United Leased Wire) CAN FRANCISCO, Aug. "Atherton ax" cracked down on three California universities today and deprived them of 10 promising football players.

The blow fell heaviest on the University of California, sponsor of the Atherton investigation and the school which put the sharpest edge on the instrument against proselyting. A statement issued from the office of Pacific Coast Conference Athletic Commissioner Edwin N. Atherton declared California, Southern Callfor nla and California at Los Angeles had been guilty of seeking to entice the athletes to enroll In their insti tutlons. No Other Mention No mention was made of Stanforc or the northwest schools that are members of the Pacific Coast Con ference. It was assumed Atherton would issue a separate report, shoulc one be necessary, when he returns from the east next week.

Victor O. Schmidt, Atherton's assistant, said the statement was be ing released at this time because registration is now under way at the three universities and it would prevent the athletes registering at those institutions in Ignorance of their being banned from athletics. The Atherton ruling does not pre vent them from registering at the schools of their choice, it was made plain. Bears, Bruins, Trojans The athletes who were named in the ruling and the schools for which they cannot compete in athletics, were: Armitage, Los Angeles High School; Henry Mink ley, Narbonne High of Los Angeles; Oustave Kroesen, Narbonne; Herbert Olds, Redondo Union; George Phillips, Fremont High of Los Angeles, and Willard Sheller, Compton High. U.

C. L. Hodges, Alhambra High, and John Petrovich, also of Alhambra. Southern California Petrovich, Theodore and Loren LaPadre, the latter two from Phoenix, High. Schmidt's statement named no specific instances of proselyting; it merely declared the athletes were barred from competing from those universities by "reason of activities of representatives of, or persons connected or associated with the institutions, in violation of the conference rules." He reiterated no guilt was attached to the 10 athletes named, that only the colleges involved or their representatives were accused.

BOX SCORES, STANDINGS ON PAGE 14 THREE CITY TOURNEY BATTLES ON TONIGHT By GENE GEAR AD MOORE and Mohawk Softball players got out an old blue print at the fairgrounds last night and followed the plans exactly but a later checkup uncovered a slight error in construction. Last time the Moores and Mohawks got together in a Major League game the Moores eked out a 2-1 victory in the last half of the eleventh inning of a scheduled seven-inning game.

Last night's league tussle followed those plans almost exactly, even to the fine point of Pitcher Harry Engle scoring the initial Moore runs the fifth inning of both games. But something went wrong somewhere because the Oilers decided they wanted a different ending this time to the almost duplicate softball story. The last half of the eleventh produced a 2-1 win for the Mohawks. The game was the last Major League game of the season and knocked Dad Moores out of any chance to enter the city championships. Jim Wattenbarger, clown catcher for the Mohawks, won the game in the eleventh when his well placed bunt brought in Tony Ozan ich.

The victory gave Mohawk a tie Coke Girls Battle Taft's Softball Aces Tonight with Superior for the second half pennant. Manuel Duran fanned 19 batters and Engle whiffed 13. Free root beers, given by Herb Morris to each player reaching first base, produced another "score," Dad Moores beating Mohawk in this department, 15-10.
