casaba tossers last night, 33-31, oh the Chaffey courts. The game was close thruout, al-tho the winners led most of the time except during the first half when the collegians were in front 16-15, Hank Doll was the chief thorn In the side of Homer Clarks boys, the lanky Chaffey pivot man taking high point honors with 13 digits dounted on six field goals and one free toss. Captain Cliff Flower and Paul Hershey tied for second honors, the two Cleaner veterans collecting 10 points each. Dellinger, altho making but five digits during the evening, played a brilliant floor game for the winners and will be hard to stop when the season opens In the Southern California league. Homer Clark, coach of the five, announced last night that ho had a game scheduled with the University of Redlands for next Thursday evening at the Chaffey gym.

ranks next season? That's the question a lot of fans are asking and one that's pretty hard to answer. Coach Joe Bonnet wishes he were sure they would, because that really would be a sweet gridiron aggiegation for the Bed Raiders to tackle their 1939 Orange Empire conference schedule with. But until that's settled, Bonnet can expect tie majority of 17 let-termen to return as a nifty nucleus for his '39 team, not the least asset of which is tiie entire front line, composed of Earl Thomas and Diik Wright, ends; Conrad Mead-ing ami Tony Fleming, tatkles; Jack Nickerson and Junior Yau-men, guards; Bruce Tw erred, center. In addition there will be Warren Groshart, Aelton I Red) Hill, ends; Gordon Sheik, Homer Schaper, guards; Bill Henderson, 'center; Tex Mar Kail (injured in he California game), Fred Abbott and Ernie Richards, tackles. Returning backficld men will be Jack Wallace, Bob Ramsey, Plol llurmsen, Clyde Williams and Ernie Beauchamp (who did not return this season 1 ut wants to be back xt yeat).

Theres some talk that the Pomona high boys, not at all pleased with the way the C.I.F. and others handled the recent ouster case, won't stay around for junior college, but this Is twaddle for the mot part, or Fhould be.

I'm Inclined to believe these boys will see the advantages of staying together as long as possible to see Just how far they can go In football. If they can all get together on such a proposition they may make gridiron history not onlv for Pomona but for Southern California. Theyre worth a bucketful of importations. My!

Boti Walton, of the Ban Bun. commenting on our recent exodus from the C.I.F. playoffs, I says: Cases like that of Ralph Ring aie inclined to give one a profound pain where the amateur sieD of our athletic world is concerned. H-re is a bry who is an amateur. He boxes in an amateur club.

I dont know whether Ring was even given cxiien.se money to appear as a boxer, if he did ge expenses it wasn't more than a dollar or two, you can bet) that. A1 that rate, it couldn't be more than legitimate expenses. I may be mistaken in this, but I rather believe boxers who appear in amateur fights at Ontario and elsewhere io so under the sanction of the A A.U. They all. I believe, must possess A.

it apparently isn't tho. as far as the C.I.F. Is concerned if the case eif Pomona's Ralph Ring is to be taken as on example. But look at it fiom Ring's standpoint. He is, after all, just a high school kid.

He knows ho A. A.U. stands fe.r 100 per cent amateurism, vet If he Leixe.s uneler the banner of that body he became ineligible In the eyes of the C.I.F. It must lie very confusing to a high school bov. "Golly, it's oven confuting to me.

Dec. 9 (URk Amenca's biggest racing owner, whose green and white silks are as familiar in the winner's circle as Halley's comet, was my partner at bridge yesterday and during the dull between our grand slams, told me of the trials and tribulations of a horse ow ner. My partner, 320-pound Oliver Hardy, said it wasn't so much the original cost of a horse that made keeping a stable so expensive, but the hotscs natural love for food and finery. My horses don't run as fast as Seahisouit or War Admiral," Hardy said as lie made a brilliant renege, but I will bet you my third chin against vnur third chin, that they eat as muih. Every day is Thanksgiving at my stable and the only thing they overlook is a liquer and cigars.

As for the finery Hardy paused here to figure out what three down, doubled, vulnerable was, and then continued: As I was saving about finery, if the $100, H00 that's given out at the Santa Anita Handicap went to the hrst-dresed horse, my stable would finish one-two-three. Because there are no better dressed horses in America than mine. My horses are the Mrs. Harrison Williams and the Lucius Beebes of the turf. I am a sucker for a horse equipment salesman.

I have one room that's devoted to bits alone. I have bather bits, bras bits, rubber bits, aluminum bits, obsolete bits, world's fair bits, and the hole collection isnt worth two bits, by trainer tells me." During his eighteen months as a turfman. Hardy said, salesmen had sold him three times as much of everything as he could use, and twice that amount of stuff that he never will be able to use. Hundreds of blankets, dozens of buckets, western saddles, and enough bridles to hold back Boulder dam. Ive onlv got six horses, and that's counting the one lost last week at Caliente.

Hardy said as he finessed the wrong way, and they're worth about $2,000. Y'essir, $2,000 worth of thorobred horseflesh, and $10,000 worth of equipment. I oughta enter my horses in parades instead of races. Hardy, who Is now working on a picture with Harry Langdon, started his stable with the celebrated Manny, a horse of such vast proportions that Hardy used to ride him in morning workouts. He would have been a Derby winner, that Manny.

Hardy sighed. "if it hadnt been for two little things. He didn't have any early foot and he couldn't stay very well. But his very bigness of heart and willing spirit brought him home in front in four races. As a man who doesn't think it is ethical for an owner to bet on his own horse when he thinks he is going to lose I didn't have a penny on Manny in his winning tacos.

Hardy finally sold Manny at auction, and he stll dislikes to recall what happened when the auctioneer put ins pride on the block. The auctioneer asked how much was he Hardy explained, ami somebody yelled a hundred dollars. Before there was time for another bid the auctioneer banged his hammer and said he was sold. Damnation, I would have bid two hundred myself, what with all the trappings I had bought for him." There was a phone call for Hardy. He came hack excited.

Sorry to break up the game, boys, he said, "but there is a man waiting at my house with a new invention. Canned horse food. And he's going to let me buy the first three carloads. (Copyright 193S by United Press) Heat Is Worry for Beavers, Playing U.C.L.A. Saturday LOS ANGEI.ES, Dec.
