In the preliminary game'it took about all the alumni had to down the reserve team by a score of 17 to 11. Without doubt the freshman squad which rrpresented the Rock high school in the preliminary game is the promising bunch of freshmen ever to play under the colors of the green and black.

They will play plenty of basketball before they arc through school. The alumni had their hands full In defeating them. The Rock Falls varsity team put up a good game in forcing the alumni to take the count in the lending 4 to 3 at-thej-' quarter. At the half the varsity was leading 10 to 7. At the three- quarter mark the score was 18 to 13.

During the final period the alumni boys started a rally that looked as though the varsity might be upset, but the boys able to hold their Tlie Rock Falls defense worked ft rrry well and Captain' Yeager, Shnrts, Calllgan and Corzett worked and played basketball all the time on the offense. The boys showed a complete reversal of form from the game played last week. Pignatelli, Johnson and Forehand looked well on the offense for the alumni. Wilklns played lots of basketball for the alumni. The games were both Interesting and deserved a much larger attendance.

Confidence Of His Team Not Shaken By Odds In Of Alabama By Paul 7-lmmerman (Associated Prc.ss Writer) PASADENA, Orln "Babe" Hollmgbcry today- burned every bridee of alibi behind himself' and the Washington State team which meets Alabama in the New Year's day classic here. that the Cougars ever expected they would need to resort to explanations, for nothing except victory Is contemplated. Their mentor has gone out of his way to destroy all possible avenue of retreat, should defeat come. Loses No Slwp "I am not losing any sleep." he said this morning, "over the physical or mental condition of my players.

Their confidence has not been shaken by prevailing odds reported in favor of Alabama." Weather conditions, he said, will make no difference. "My team is becoming thoroughly acclimated. This weather is the same we had to cope with when practice opened last fall." Constant warming up of pass receivers and senders in previous sessions 'creates the belief Washington State may shower a barrage over the Crimson Tide January 1. To See Game Today Coach Wallace Wade also contemplates a morning workout, in order to allow his team to take a peek at Notre Dame's stars of 1929 and 1930 in action at a charity game. The Tide also worked on passes yesterday.

Then the southern gentlemen snapped through a dummy scrimmage which caused their coach to feel that at last they had shaken off the effects of their cross country jaunt. He has been giving his kickers overtime duty both on punting and place kicking, with John "Hurry" Cain holding the top honors. Alabama probably will not work out Sunday, but will put on the finishing touches Monday and Tuesday between sight seeing excursions. While the ticket sale picked up sharply after Christmas. It Is doubtful if the 85,000 seats for the game will be completely sold out.

New Year's day, are finding little play time. Bob Zuppke, football coach at the University of Illinois and head coach of the midwest stars, believes in employing the same methods of training for charity contests he "uses at Urbana.

He sent his proteges through a gruelling workout at Fair Park Stadium yesterday, drilling them on offensive plays, featuring a smashing, running attack, and removing any impressions from their minds that they faced a picnic. 'While all the midwest squad of 23 was on hand, the crew of southwest representatives remained incomplete, only 16 -members going through their first workout at the Southern Methodist University stadium.

Fullerton, Jr. (Associated Press Sports Writer) NEW situation unique in the annals of boxing has arisen from the fiasco which was an attempt to settle the flyweight title dispute between Midget Walgast and Frankie Oenaro.

Oenaro still is recognized as champion by the National Boxing Association, arbiter of champions for 26 states while Wolgast still is privileged to wear the crown in New Ydtk and Pennsylvania. POT the meeting of these two title claimants produced only a dull 15 round drawn. Half Hearted Boot A half hearted exhibition which produced only rare spurts of Interesting fighting failed to strengthen the claim of either of the little fellows while a record of the cheers and booes emitted by the crowd of 6,000 which paid $20.000 Into the Madison Square Oarden box office last night was strongly on the side of the expressions of disapproval. About one fourth of the audience left before the finish. Not until the last three rounds did Wolgast and Genaro show any signs of their best form as they fought a defensive battle.

After a warning by Referee'Patsy Haley, the veteran Qenaro made a gallant attempt to start a fight In the closing rounds and Walgast met him on about even terms despite a closed left eye. Wolgast was exceedingly cautions at the start, especially after he ran into the right hand wallop In the second round that closed his eye and Genaro seemed to have lost a lot of stamina in his ten years of milling and could not set the pace. Couldn't Agree The exhibition was so uninspiring that even the officials could not agree on how to award the for a decision. One judge, Harold Barnes, picked Genaro, the other, Tommy Sheridan voted for Wolgast while Referee Haley gave it up as a bad job and called it a draw. According to the Associated Press score sheet, Genaro's closing spurt gave him a slight margin.

He was awarded 6 rounds to Wolgast's five. Four were called even. Genaro weighed 111 pounds, Wolgast 111 3-4. BASKETBALL RESULTS (By The Associated Press) College Rice Institute (Texas) 36. Illinois Wesleyan 27.
