thrilling play, the screwiest occurrence (Roy Riegels and his reverse run,) ad infinitum. The other evening somebody ventured the guess that the smartest team that ever played In the Rose Bowl was Knute Rockne's 1924 eleven. To this opinion I subscribe wholeheartedly. That team had to be smart to beat what was probably the best club Stanford ever put on the field Ernie Nevers and his gang of behemoths. Pop Warner's team had everything- crushing power with Nevers, brilliant punting, fine passing and a sturdy defense.

Yet, Notre Dame, outweighed from here to Kokomo, I' Kti ruined the Stanfords that memorable afternoon In 1925 by the-convincing score of 27 to 10.

They weighed 185 and 184. The other tackle, E.

Attitude weakened The National League's attitude was weakened today when both president Bill Benswanger of the (Pirates and General Manager JVarren Giles of the Beds called League President Ford Frick to get busy and do something about eliminating the confusion over where, when and how the clubs are going to do their training.

Will Harrldge, president of the American League, which weeks ago wanted to shorten the season Just to be better prepared for eventualities, said that he was certain that the majority of the club owners would readily agree to shaving two weeks from the front end of the race. TRAIN AT HOME Condensing the 154 game schedule into less time space might quickly lead to a general move to train at home or within a few miles thereof. The Yankees have already declared themselves ready for that program, if necessary. Connie Mack wouldn't mind doing the same. So far none of the 16 clubs has fnade any definite announcement, silence being indicative of the depth of the muddle.

Pop's first coaching job was at Georgia, 1895 to 1897. He took three Stanford teams to the Rose Bowl. One year, after he was through at'stanford, I found him outside the Rose Bowl without a ticket for that particular game. Pop's getting old and it may be too late one of these days to honor the man who has contributed so much to football. UPS AND DOWNS Alex Omolev, S.C.

Ends Huntsinger and Collins were down on the program at 170 and 169.

The famous "Four Horsemen" were mere midgets. Lightest was Harry Stuhldreher at 156. Sleepy Jim Crowley was the heaviest at 165. Fullback Elmer Layden weighed a pound less and Don Miller tipped the scales at 161. Certainly nothing there to strike terror in the hearts of the opposition.

But the down field blocking of this team was terrific and the agility of all four backs spelled defeat for Stanford. Never has a Rose Bowl crowd seen such ball hawking as Layden and his mates exhibited that afternoon. Remember This Little Fellow? Rockne always was willing to sacrifice weight for speed, agility and brains. When his last team came to Los Angeles In 1930 some of us doubted the published figure for little Bert Metzger. Mark Kelly got "Rock" to put the watch-charm guard on the scales.

The indicator stopped at 148 pounds. Metzger, as you will recall, was an exceptional player for his avoirdupois. This team probably produced more great coaches than any other eleven in football history. Stuhldreher, Crowley, Layden, Kizer, Walsh, Bach and E. Miller all made the grade at major institutions.

Of more famous players only Don Miller turned to other fields of endeavor. He became a famous lawyer, Alabama Rated Most Courageous Team The most courageous team that ever played in the Rose Bowl was the Alabama outfit which roared back to beat Washington, 20 to 19, in 1925. I knew that club pretty well, having spent most of the two weeks prior to the game with them. They wera first Dixie eleven to invade Pasadena and they were really worried about George Wilson.

Rojo took a close decision from Oglesby at the Olympic last month, but Oglesby did a comeback by humbling Yeager at Hollywood two weeks later. Then along came Valenzuela to out-wrestle Oglesby and win a six-round decision.

Until Yeagers applecart was upset by Oglesby at the Legion Stadium, Yeager was drawing top billing at the Olympic. But his defeat by Oglesby, a preliminary lad, lowered Yeagert prestige and boosted the winner's stock. MAY REDEEM SELF Tonight's bout therefore gives Yeager a chance to redeem himself. Rojo's last appearance at the Olympic was to have featured the Mexican slugger against Oglesby, but Kid Lester of San Diego was substituted, and the "General" registered a four-round to Dallas but the cab company refused to furnish it and then tried to catch a plane from Abilene but it had already left, Baugh declared.

Stumpy Thoma aon, I believe it was, who fumbled for Georgia Tech.
