Coach Bunny Oakes expects to send his Buffaloes through two more stiff drills, today end tomorrow, with punting and dd goal rehearsals stressed.

At Palo Alto, the westerns, under Coaches Jones and Orin Hollingbery. engaged in a scrimmage during a two and one-half hour afternoon session.

Coach Hollingbery had high praise for the Arkansas passing combination of Dwight Sloan and Jim Benton, quarterback and left end, respectively. Backfield combinations were juggled again with one unit featuring Sloan at quarter. Douglass of Kansas at left half, Wolfe at right half, and Karamatic of at fullback. The other quartet of ball luggers had Gray of Oregon State expected to gain certain knowledge that will undoubtedly help strengthen the five in remaining contests. Strong Quints The three quintets in that section of the state are rated strong and have performed on the court in good style so far.

Boise and Pocatello tangled last week with the contest forced to go into an overtime period. The Braves came out on top 29 to 28. The victory by the Braves stopped Pocatello's winning streak. The Indians added Gooding to their win column at Gooding by a score of 25 to 18 and Twin Falls scalped Nampa recently. The scores, Coach Stowell said are a good indication of the brand of ball the schools play.

Since losing to Iona last week the Tigers have been drilling hard at the junior high school court in anticipation of adding Gooding, Nampa and Boise to the win coD umn. The Tigers motored to Pocatello Monday night to entrain early Tuesday morning. The hoopsters will leave for home after the Boise game and arrive in Idaho Falls early Friday morning, should present plans go through.

Going the way of many football coaches after disastrous season, Harvey Harman, head coach of the University of Pennsylvania, has sent in his resignation.

His action officially was made known Monday by President Thomas S. Harman is driving to the football coaches meeting at New Orleans, Until he arrives there his future plans, if he has any, will not be known. While it is understood that behind the scenes there had been some dissatisfaction there has been little public criticism of Harman's administration and his quitting came as a surprise. Harman, who played football under Glenn S. Warner at the University of Pittsburgh, came to Pennsylvania in 1931.

In his seven seasons Harman's team won 31 games, lost 23 and tied two. In the past season, the Rod and Blue won Berkeley Lads Cheer as Mighty Warriors Detrain Monday By ROBERT MYERS PASADENA.

Flag Flag bearers of far western football, but with triumphant memories of the regular 1937 season pushed aside for the moment, the Bears presented a combination of high glee and deep seriousness as they laoked forward to the grand climax of their encounter with Alabama New day. Head Coach Leonard (Stub) Allison ordered a snappy workout and got it.

On another practice field Coach Frank Thomas, aquatty littlehead man, sent the Tide through a stiff drill. Gates were barred as Thomas continued to mould a fast charging defense to stop the rush of the Golden Bears. Reports from both camps said the squads were in good condition. The great All-American back, Sam Chapman, who cut his hand up at Berkeley, has virtually overcome the handicap, and Capt. Leroy Monsky, All-America guard and captain, has similarly refused to let a taped eyebrow, also cut in practice last week, hinder his efforts.

baseball players of yesteryear reminisced today and recalled how a apprentice was fired and game's greatest shortstop. They went over the story as William (Bill) Wagner dropped in on his brother Hon us, one of the immortals, now coach of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Honus likes to tell the story of those days when his fingers, grasping the razor and brush, itched for the ball and glove. Once he found the urge too strong and neglected to show up for work. And so i was fired from the smiles Honus, with nothing else for me to do, I was forced to look to baseball for by bread and laughs Bill, was the barber who fired In those days, shop was in nearby Carnegie.

But Bill, too, was a clever ball player, and 40 years ago held down third base at Louisville, then a National league member. Later he starred with the Toronto club. When his playing days were over.
