LASSEN With tennis coming into its own again this year, there are high hopes among the local univer- sity tennis stars that the Coast collegiate confer- ence board of control can see its way clear to permit Coast tennis teams to compete next year. Young Stevens, a member of the California team, who played in the Oregon state meet, told Bob Wabraushek, local “U” star, that the Southern schools were anxious to have the plan go thru. Dual meets could be staged in the North with one big tourney coming at the end of the trip, in which all of the teams could be entered from the Coast conference. a Stanford’s entry into Coast conference foot- ball will be watched with interest this year. Foot- ball has proved to be a big success at the Univer- sity of California, and Stanford, where Rugby has held the boards for many years, had to follow the “Bears’” lead. We'll have a regular conference on the Coast yet. Time-saving is the big thing at ring shows. Just why so much time is wasted at local bouts in having the men put on their gloves and listen to the same old instructions in the ring are real puz- ales. Let’s have the men put their gloves on. be- fore they come into the ring. The seconds can expect the operation and the referee can give the men their instructions in their corners so the fighters can go to it when the bell rings. It is still undecided where the high school ball field in the Rainier valley will not be usable football games will be played this year as the base- until after October 4. The school board must settle this problem of an athletic field for the high schools soon because the the prep men cannot use t! university field because of a new conference ruling. tember. gets under way here the last week in Sep- All boys who have been in the service will be eligible for football in the games of Octobe, 24 and after that date.
