Only one hitch marked the Pacific Coast conference's annual meeting which opened today for a three-day stand, where considerable fireworks was anticipated. University of Southern and Its young neighbor. University of California at Los Angeles reached an Impasse on selection ot a date for their annual game and will not meet in 1931. The Trojans held out for the opening game of the season, with the Bruin officials countering with an offer of four tentative dates in mldseason. The upshot was that S.

ROBERTS, Georgia AP0L0NI0 FAILS TO IMPRESS IN BATTLE WITH YOUNG LALO Tampico Terror Awarded Nod But Lalo Manages to Shut His Right Optic By CHUCK KINTER The human windmill known as Kid Apolonio whirls with the gentleness of a dainty summer breeze. The terror from Tampico, supposed to throw more leather than a machine gun tosses bullets, must depend on quantity rather than quality for his punching.

Young Lalo, of El Paso, should have been a setup for Apolonio in the eight-round main event at the Cabinet Arena Monday night. The Tampico kid hit Lalo with everything but the water bottle. Lalo should have lasted not more than two rounds. The one bid for fame Lalo made In eight rounds was a stiff left Jab which almost completely closed Apolonlo's right optic. Of course, Apolonio got the decision, but It was a hollow victory.

Apolonio weighed 129 pountls; Lalo 131. Lucero Wins Joe Lucero, Tucson, 129 pounds, outpointed Diego Acuna, El 1'aso, 129 pounds, In the six round semifinal. Acuna had been favored to take Lucero with not a lot of effort. Lucero piled up a heavy margin In the first two rounds, coasted through the next three for an even break and sewed up the victory with a decisive edge in the last. Acuna was lethargic, while Lucero kept moving and firing away with a stabbing left Jab which constantly raked the El Paso boy's face.

Lucero was thing visibly In the fourth and fifth rounds, and his brilliant revival In the sixth was as surprising as his victory. ChuchI Vasquez, of the University of Arizona, fought a pleasing draw with Manny Candla, Tucson, In the six round special event. The most decisive margin in any one round was recorded by Vasquez in the third when he spun Candla with a straight right punch, but the sturdy little Mexican would not go down. Candla had taken the previous round. The fight was more cautiously fought than the seething battle the men staged In a previous card, but it was one of the most interesting bouts of the evening.

Vasquez was probably the better boxer, but Candla was the harder puncher. Vasquez weighed 118 pounds; Candla 120. Jimma Carreon, Tucson, 135 pounds, chased Rene Bachelier, No-gales, 135 pounds, for four rounds to win a decision. Neither man hit the other hard enough to swat a fly. Young Thomas.

Tucson, 117 pounds, fought a four-round draw with Eskimo Graclo, El Paso Italian, 122 pounds, In a preliminary. Thomas tried twice to punch when Graclo was down, and many fans thought the El Paso boy should have been awarded the battle on a foul even though Thomas had a shade In the actual fighting. The refereeing was flawless. Kayo Lewis did the Job. RALPH DEPALMA SUED Wife Charges Desertion After Noted Race Driver Had Asked for Freedom LOS ANGELES, Dec.

8. (ff) Ralph De Palma, noted automobile racing driver, was sued for separate maintenance today by his wife, Mrs. Clara De Palma. Attorney Eugene H. Marchus, representing Mrs.

De Palma said his client Intends to file a divorce complaint later In the week. Mrs. De Palma grew hysterical and fainted In her lawyer's office as she was being Interviewed by newspapermen. "Ralph forced me to do this," she sobbed. "I don't know what is the matter with him.

We were so happy for nearly 23 years. I still love him and want him back. But he called me by telephone a week ago and asked for his freedom and that's why I am starting this action." The specific charge In the action Is desertion, the wife alleging De Palma left her abruptly last March 9. They were married In Newark. N.

June 30, 1909. In filing the bill, Mrs. De Palma also secured a restraining order Navy Starts to Prepare For Clash With Cadets Saturday Coach Ingram Believes Kegulars Have Reached Peak Of Strength and Should be Able to Take Good Care of Army in Charity Tilt Rest for the weary. That was the Idea of Coach Knute Rockne when the Golden State rolled Into town Monday morning with the battle- Bcarred Irish aboard. When the Irish arrived here last Wednesday en-route to the coast to meet Southern California, one of the first remarks made was: "You'd think we ffprft nomine home victorious Instead of being on our way perhaps to take a beating." Had tlie Bald Eagle of Notre Dame emerged from his cast Iron menage long enough to smile upon the populace here Monday, he would probably have made some comment on the fleeting nature of glory.

Thirty people must have been on hand to welcome the heroes. From some quarters came expressions that Rockne should have at least said howdee to some of the folks waiting at the station. The Notre Dame coach, however, is not a well man, and it must be remembered he has just passed through a trying football season, fraught with nervousness over big games and many, many other worries. John Tiellly and Max Rlddell were among the few persons who got In to see Rockne while the train was here. A great, big strong porter was on guard to keep others out Riddle's account of how he saw Rockne is almost a story in itself.

"Are you all riding on dis train?" the porter asked Riddle. "Oh "Riddle replied, "on car 53 right up the train aways." "Yes, sir, boss," the porter said, stepping aside, "walk right in." And that is how the Arizona Daily Star got a personal interview wrth Rockne, who aaw no other newspaper men here. With several middle western coaches being considered to fill the Job vacated by Nibs Price at California, the possibility develops that soon the Pacific coast Institutions will have the cream of the coaching profession to teach ther boys football. Jimmy Phelan, former Notre Dame quarterback and later Purdue coach, made a successful debut as head coach at University of Washington last fall. His team had a fair season and he has built a foundation which should bear fruit soon.

Washington used a passing attack as deceptive as almost anything uncorked by his master, Knute Rockne. Lack of power seemed to be the big difficulty. "We haven't much power," Phcl-nn told the Los Angeles press after the Washington Southern California game Thanksgiving Day. AVe haven't anything like they have in California, which seems to be a power belt of football." Phelan'i remark does not seem quite so appropriate after Notre Dame stopped dead the celebrated power play of Southern California, yet the Trojans had previously halted everything in sight except Washington State. The fact that Jimmy's Huskies had not the necessary power was Indicated in their game with Southern California when three times they came within scoring distance without the necessary punch to keep going.

Each time they were hurled back by the Trojans. PUGS SEEK WARMTH Argentina Fighters Leave for Home As Northern Weather Turns Cold BUENOS AIRES. Dec. 8. Argentine summer coming on winter north of the equator Is driving local boxers home from the fistic wars.

Prominent members of the American Lection said here tonight that a bill providing for a state boxing commission would be introduced In the tenth Arizona legislature when that body meets In January.

The measure, they said, Would be sponsored by the Legion.

Not even the grand-slamming Bobby Jones could have wedged his bulk into the 1930 All-Southern football team. For every Ben Tlcknor, Frank Carldeo and Wea Fesler operating above the Mason-Dixon line, there was, a Preacher Roberts, a Bobby Dodd and a Jerry Dalrymple flashing the same brilliance on southern gridirons.

You may doubt It, but Just remember that In 10 major intersectional games with eastern and mid-western elevens, the south was winner of seven. Perhaps the most interesting of these Dixie footballers this past season was Major Bob Neyland's tall, skinny signal barker at Tennessee. Players, coaches and spectators are unanimous In their claims that Bobby Dodd played the role of a super-quarterback. Dodd Cool "Dodd's cool, calculating play most certainly was the reason for Tennessee's long string of successes," a conference official wrote. "He's the best quarterback the south has ever had and the only man I remember who could run to his left and fire a pass accurately to the right from running plays." Yes, Dodd was a field general, whose repertoire Included passing, kicking and running with the ball.

He never went In for ball-carrying until this fall when Tennessee's attack was ruined with Injuries. Then Dodd shouldered the burden and Major Neyland was satisfied. Superlatives used by my observers In posting the tackle qualifications of Fred Sington, Alabama, and Elmer McCance of Tulane have convinced me that these two young men must really play that position. Sington led Interference for the Crimson Tide's fast-running backs. On the defensive he played where-ever he thought he might make a tackle.

Sometimes that took him out on the end or into the center position. Bodenger of Tulane, Steele of the Florida 'Gators and Lloyd (Breach-er) Roberts of Tulane form a center combination that one might hunt for months and never find. Bodenger and Roberts, winding up three-year careers, did it in a manner most pleasing to Be'rnle Bierman, their coach. Though Steele played with a hit-or-mlss Florida eleven, nevertheless his votes were heavier than those for Leathers of Georgia or Harry Thayer, captain of the Tennessee eleven. Had Best One team should not be permitted to have better ends than Dalrymple and Holland of Tulane.

In the case of an all-star group, however, it's permissible, and that's the reason for Dalrymple and Catfish Smith, the Georgia wingman. Smith batted Just a few points higher than Holland, who would never have to play second fiddle to many In the pass-catching business. Young Mr. Dodd ought to be satisfied with the assistants chosen for him. Shipwreck Kelly, the Ken-tuckian; Flash Suther of Alabama and Jack (The Ripper) Roberts of Georgia were the aces of attack on their respective teams.

The East became acquainted with The Ripper, for he ripped up and down Yale bowl one afternoon not long ago, and then went north to tear up New York sod. Suther was not nicknamed Flash "in the pan," and Shipwreck Kelly was far from being a football derelict.

M. C.

A. Monday night. Basil Case, America's boy checker champion and holder of the Illinois state and Chicago city championship titles, demonstrated his checker playing ability as well as his chess accomplishments there when he played 20 checker games, four of them blind-folded, and two chess games, simultaneously. Of the checker games he lost one and played to a draw In another. He lost only one of his chess matches.

Enke will again use the continuous type of set offense developed at Pennsylvania and used by Wildcat cage teams successfully for the pnst two years. "Thiings look a iot better to me me than they did at first," the Cat mentor said after practice Monday. "Hut positions are still wide open." Co-Captain Bill Hargis, Raymond Tewksbury and Hank Leiher reported Monday to complete the list of men called and from now on Enke expects his team to develop much faster than it has during the past two weeks. In lining up men for various positions Enke said that he would probably pick his forwards from Tewkshury, Lelber, Ridgeway, Graham.

Thomason, and Webb, but made no predictions as to which two would get first call. Bill Hargis, Paulus Stone and Warnock are the center prospects, with Hargis holding the edge. To get first call at the pivot Job, the lanky Frosh center of last year will have to show enough ability to take Hargis' place, which is a man size Job. Warnock Is another center prospect, but can also be called upon to play forward. Knnpp and Federson will he Co-Captain Nelson's understudies at the backguard, but are hardly likely to play first string.

For floorguards, Enke plans to work Crimson, Gray and Bate with one man having as much chance as the other of landing a regular Job. None of these men were with the varsity last year and will have to learn Enke basketball from the ground up. The Arizona offense Is practically built around the floorguard position, particularly when a fast break is used and finding a reliable man for that position will add considerable strength to the Cats. The varlsty and Frosh may tangle this week In their annual games. Enke said: although nothing definite has been arranged as yet.

FROSH SQUAD TO BE CUT THIS WEEK Coach Tom Glbbings, University of Arizona Freshman basketbafl mentor, announced Monday afternoon that he would cut his Yearling squad to 15 or 18 players either Thursday or Friday. The Kitten coach has far more men than he can well handle. His original call listed only IS men, but permission to report without being called brought another 10 aspirants. Monday afternoon Glbbings had about five complete teams working at both offense and defense and from all appearances has the nucleus of a good Freshman quintet. Probably the most outstanding of the group are: Filhurn and White, backguards; G.

Johnson, S. Johnson and Clark, floorguards; Byrne, Harrell, Carlson and Woods. Centers; Ponsford, Abbott, Woods. Olsen, Jack Coultln and Walker, forwards. These men appear to be the cream of the lot and will probably be held on the squad along with two or three others.

LAMP BLACK WINS Leads Satin Star to Finish In Lomita Park Handicap; Was Top-heavy Favorite SAN FRANCISCO, Deo. 8.

(iPh-Out in front all the way. Lamp Black raced home to victory today In the Lomita Park Handicap, feature event of the day's meet at Tanforan. The time of 1:07 4-5 set a new track record for the B. Spreckels course, 170 feet less than six furlongs. The former mark was 1:08 1-5.

Lamp Black, owned by Bruce Johnson and ridden by Willie Johns, was a topheavy favorite. Satin Spar, ridden by C. Mc Hugh, was second and Warlight, with A Marshall up, was third. Five dollar preferred options on Lamp Black were redeemed for $7.00, while $4.00 secondviry options brought $5.00. Four dollar place options on Atin Spar were redeemed for $11.50.

BASS BELTS WAY PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 8. Benny Bass, Philadelphia, Junior lightweight champion, belted his way to a hairline decision over Johnny Jadick, also of Philadelphia, in a 10-round battle at the arena tonight. Bass weighed 129: Jadick, 332. Bass' title was not at stake.

year old fly hawk WES SCHULMER1CH ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 8. (IP) Coach Bill Ingram of the Navy, believing the three weeks' comparative rest which his regulars had before the Penn game last Saturday did them more good than a rough and tumble preparation program, today started to prepare for the charity game with the Army in New York on Saturday with a light workout. Ingram believes his regulars have reached the peak of their strength, having recovered from the battering received in five hard games in a row in mid-season with little replacement material to rest his varsity. Just enough work to keep the Tars in shape was the program at the academy for the three weeks prior to the Penn gome, which Navy won, 26 to 0.

All regulars came out of that olash in good shape, and one of the most cheering results was the return of Johnny Gannon, halfack, to the form he displayed in the 1928 season when he was one of the most dependable backs on the Middy list Another spark of cheer gained from the last few games was the development of Tom Hurley, another back who showed great driving power in the conquest of Pennsylvania, The rest of Ingram's backs, including the little 152-pound battering ram, Lou Kirn, are in good shape. Nothing but a signal drill was given the squad today. The team CUB CAGE SQUAD CUT TO 25 MEN McFarland Gets Big Response To First Second Team Basketball Call Although 41 players reported to Coach C. L. McB'arland to try for places on the Tucson high school second team basketball quintet Monday afternoon, the Badger Cub mentor immediately sliced the group to 25 players.

Players retained on the squad were: Kenneth Eby, Joe Clover, Ray Flowers, George Codd, Verne Bingham, Horton Noon, Merle Crum, Bruce Carragan, Joe Temple, James Eager, Wyatt Williams, Loveless Gardner, Eddie Casey, Arthur Richards, Helzl Friedlander, Charles Moss, Roy Magoffin, Jack Pemberton, Allen Drachman, Ted Barthels, Bill Howell, Rony Apod-aca, Judson Allen and Joe Lleva. Work on fundamentals will comprise the practice schedule for the Cubs, McFarland said, and very little, if any, scrimmaging will be done for sometime. VARSITY STARTS SECOND WEEK OF WORK Coach Rollin Gridley started his Tucson Badger cage team on Its second week of practice Monday afternoon in preparation for the opening game of the year with Miami, there, December 19. The Badgers are rapidly taking form and will work principally on offense this week, Gridley said. The shifting of Capt.

Bland to forward has changed the plans of the Badger mentor somewhat and leaves the floorguard position open. However, from all indications, Don Copps will step into the vacancy left by Bland. Bland's runningmate at forward will be chosen from George Jackson, Larry Cornell or A. V. Gro-setta.

Weinzapfel, Clark and McCafferty are still scrapping for first call for backguard, while Truett Burgess is working towards the center position fairly well. Burgess Is not particularly handy on the floor but Coach Gridley plans to play basketball seen in the Big Ten. particularly at Wisconsin and Purdue, and keep the lanky center well under the opposing team's basket where he will be on the receiving end of a passing attack combining the two forwards and floorguard. CHEERS SUM WOMEN Women Golf Pro Sayt Slim Women Have Jutt At Much Chinee At Athletic Onet PALM BEACH, Dec. 8.

(JP) A woman should not be discouraged because she is slim; says Bessie Fenn, woman golf pro, and manager of the Palm Beach golf club. Miss Fenn says that the small, slight woman has Just as much chance to hang up a good score as her larger and more athletic sister. "It all depends upon the strength of the wrists," the pro said. One of the few women golf professionals in the United States, Miss Fenn has played a good game of golf since she was seven years old. Her father was the late Arthur H.

Major league baseball clubs this season paid Pacific Coast league owners more than $350,000 in a scries of record shattering trades.

The largest of the deals, probably, was the trade of Ed Baecht, Los Angeles' right hand hurler, to the Chicago Cubs for $20,000 Jn cash and eight players, valued at $80,000 more.
