Bulldogs Go on Rampage to Swamp Gunners, SPORT POST SCRIPTS By PAUL ZIMMLBMA LA Locals Toy With Rivals Hutchison Makes Two Touchdowns to Star in Gilmore Game "What' said the man who only hopes to get his applica' tion through for Rose Bowl seats, "has happened to the Atherton report?" This fellow had to be an op timist expect to see either a pair of Rose Bowl tickets or RY CAL WHORTOX The Los Angeles Bulldogs celebrated their second big the report on the ways and means of assembling athletes to play before $350,000 worth of play day of the season yester customers in the annual Tournament of Roses classic. IS COMMITTER For the edification of this dividual, who wants to see day afternoon at Gilmore Stadium and after 60 minutes of wild frolicking the American League champions walked off the turf with a 56-14 victory over the hapless both the Atherton report and a pair of Rose Bowl tickets, I can only say that the Tacific Coast St. Louis Gunners. Conference's study of proselyt A few weeks ago the Bulldog3 ing, paying, of college ath reached an all-time high by trouncing Dayton, 65-0. Yester day's game might have been just as decisive had the Canines elect ed to pay strict attention to their game instead of trying to tos3 the hide all over the lot for the benefit of the 7500 spectators who whooped and shouted as point piled up on top of point.

SMART FANS -To the observers, who, for the most part were smart fans, it was a case of the cat playing with the mouse. Los Angeles wa3 never in danger and although Tommy Thompson, Gunner back, who used to pitch strikes for Tulsa, connected for some sparkling aerials to Teammates Ray fill 1 -i: 5 I Johnson and Charlie Gainor, the Bulldog hurlers, Hal Pangle, Harold Brill and Ray Peterson. more than matched them with their passes. letic stars is "in committee. To the uninitiated, in the parliamentary circles of our State Legislature and national Congress, when they say a bill is in committee, It means the odds are 3 to 1 it will never see the light of day.

That goes for both the Atherton report and the pair of ducats my friend hopes to get for the Rose Bowl game. THEY CAN'T HURT US As one of the athletic managers of a leading college in the conference said not so long ago: "They can't hurt us." He took this phrase from a fight manager who sent his battler out from the corner for further punishment, although at the time he accepted the words as coined by himself. What he meant was that the Atherton report had nothing on his university and its group of athletes and that probably is true. After all a $30,000 investigation of 10 schools is going to scratch only the surface no matter how expert the detective and how naive the method of getting together a good enough team to attract a half million dollars in net gate receipts for a given season. DISTRUSTFUL FOLKS You never realize what distrustful folks these college athletic authorities and faculty representatives are until you stop and consider the Atherton report and the reason for it being voted into existence.

Any time a college president wants to know how. his. school gets and keeps Its athletes all he needs to do is to call in the athletic authorities. Either they tell him or they resign.

He had to pry and dig and ferret out with the aid of the schools as the agreement said but he had no power to fire. Which shows you that If these colleges had trusted one another they could have received a lot more information firsthand, supposing the motive was to correct a situation. PROTECTIVE But the Pacific Coast Confer-ence institutions did not trust each other.

P'ach suspected that the other fellow was taking an unfair advantage, and when enough became suspicious they voted for an investigation by Atherton and hired him to do it. From what I've picked up about the Atherton report, I believe his findings were of sufficient interest around and about to make several pages of good reading, but wouldn't add to the great cause of forwarding the physical educational program of the universities and enhance the gate receipts; with such trifling matters as gate receipts being only an afterthoughtI assure you. Atherton was to receive the wholehearted aid of every representative of each conference member. Which serves only to emphasize the fact that there was a lack of sincerity in this project, else there would have been no need to hire this former F.B.I, investigator in the first place. WHAT NEXT? What next? Well, as I say, the thing is in committee.

Any evils found by the committee which will not detract from the financial advantages of intercollegiate athletics will be referred to th conference as a whole for correction. Do you remember the J. A. Butler report of 1033? No. Do you remember what came of it? Harry Cooper and Mrs.

Because the same negative results are going to come from this one, too. Even colleges with amateur standing at stake are not going to disturb a healthy financial condition like gold-bearing football teams. Three to one are the odds that the Atherton report, for all the good it does, will die in committee.
