CP—Coach Howie Odell, who tutored two all-America backs during his five years at Washington is on the way out as head man of Husky football.

Before leaving here he said Athletic Director Harvey Cassill had told him "he was going to recommend that I be not retained for next year," Odell's contract has one more year to run. He blamed personal differences between himself and Cassill and said he didn't have "any hope there will be a change in his, Cassill's, attitude." Cassill's recommendation will go to the school administration and then—if approved—to the board of regents. The athletic director would say only that he did have a full yesterday with Odell and could not comment further until a recommendation is made and acted upon. Under O'Dell's coaching Don Henrich was named quarterback on the Associated Press all-America team in 1950 and again this year. In 1951 fullback Hugh McElhenny made the team.

It's a condition that frequently affects coaches before tough games. You could almost defect the tears in his voice as he viewed—and the view was mighty dismal—the Rams playoff next Sunday at Detroit with the Lions for the western division title. Despite the discouraging outlook, however, the Rams will make the trip. They fly out Thursday, Pool confirmed. The man who has Pool moaning is Dick Night Train Lane. Lane is out with a severely sprained ankle and wrenched knee. "The loss of Lane is probably the most severe loss we could have sustained," Pool said. "He was our one chance to stop Cloye Box." Box is Detroit's ace pass catcher. He has scored four of Detroit's five touchdowns in their two victories over the Rams this season. "Herb Rich might be able to do it," Pool went on, "but he won't be in top shape. He'll play. He'll have to. But we don't know how fast he'll be able to run, or whether he can last." Rich, who alternates with Lane at one of the deep defensive posts, Anaheim high school basketball team sailed over the first obstacle yesterday in the 24th annual Huntington Beach invitational tournament by defeating Laguna Beach, 52-33.

Bill Ames, Anaheim ace forward and Laguna's Center Clyde Cook tied for scoring honors, each hitting the nets for 15 points. Second in scoring for Anaheim was Forward Gayle Herbel who chalked up 13 tallies. Center Dave Moody did his bit by contributing 11 points for the victors.

In the eleventh round, Smith's eyelid was turned in and Dr. Robert Rock, the club physician, had to fix it up before Referee Gilmore allowed the fight to continue.

The St. Louis area will be blacked out of the telecast. With over $60,000 in the till, a new gate receipts record for a St. Louis fight already has been set.

"The big question is whether we can crack the Southern Cal defense enough to do any good," said Williamson as he ran he Badgers through their last indoor drill before the squad leaves by plane tomorrow morning. "We always have a chance, of course," he added, "but we'll have to play better than we did at any time this fall to come away with a victory." ST. LOUIS, Dec. 16 (P)—Facels and figures on the light-heavyweight title fight tomorrow night between champion Joe Maxim and challenger Archie Moore: Date—Wednesday, Dec. 17, Time—10 p.m., EST, 7 p.m., PST. PCC Pulls Out Of Row Over Officials LOS ANGELES, Dec. 16. (P)—The Pacific coast conference pulled out of a row over basketball officials today, announcing it will make no assignments to work games in San Francisco's Cow palace where PCC clubs are not the home team. St. Mary's Coach Red Foley had threatened to cancel Friday night's game with Southern California unless an official named by Frank McCormick, PCC supervisor of officials, was withdrawn. Foley said his own league, the California Basketball association, did not have the official in question on its approved list. In addition, he said, St. Mary's, as the home team, was paying the officials and asked: "Why should McCormick tell us whom we should use? This is autocratic rule by one man and I'm not going to be dictated to." PCC Commissione: Victor O. Schmidt released the following statement today: "Due to a misunderstanding of the situation in which conference teams play in the San Francisco Cow palace as the visiting team, this office has withdrawn from the assignment of officials for these games and is asking the conference schools involved to make their agreement directly with the teams they are playing concerning the appointment or game officials." Officials fo: Cow palace games in which PCC teams compete have up to this time always ooen assigned by the PCC office with agreement by everyone, even when another school was designated the home team. It was the understanding that this was to be continued this year upon our notification to the president of the northwestern California officials group of the officials selected. We follow this procedure. However, there now appears to some misunderstanding about this arrangement. Therefore in all cow palace games in which conference schools are not home teams and in which game contracts do not require confirmation. "We always have a chance, of course," he added, "but we'll have to play better than we did at any time this fall to come away with a victory." Williamson said he saw the New Year's Day game as "a contest between our offense and the Trojans' defense, which is very good." "I believe their offense is better than it showed at Notre Dame, too," added Williamson who, with his entire staff, scouted the 9-0 Irish victory at South Bend, Ind., Nov. 29, which snapped USC's nine-game winning streak. The fact that Wisconsin rates a one-touchdown underdog is no surprise to Williamson. "Our boys' mental attitude is good," he said, "but we're still some time away from the kickoff." The Badgers will rely offensive on their basic T-formation attack which was powerful enough to win them top honors for ground gaining and a share of the Big 10 title this year, the school's first slice of the championship in 40 years. However Williamson has indicated he will make some adjustments in blocking to counteract Southern Cal's defensive patterns. All drills on the Coast will be conducted in private, according to prior announcement. Williamson said earlier he had consulted coaches of other Big 10 teams which have made the Rose Bowl trip and that the concensus was that practice behind locked gates was the best method of preparation.

(P)—Pay Perry, former San Francisco Seals infielder, today was named manager of the Bakersfield Indians of the California league. The 31-year-old Perry broke into professional baseball in 1940 with Salt Lake City. He played for minimum of $50,000 to the purse for the air rights. Maxim has been guaranteed about $75,000 for his third defense of the crown he won nearly three years ago from England's Freddie Mills. Moore is getting his chance at the title and nothing else. His end may just about cover his training expenses. "That's not important," said the Toledo Negro contender who has been hammering at the doors of champions for over five years. "The main thing is that I'm finally getting my shot. I know I can beat Maxim. I'm going to knock him out." If he does, he will be the second man ever to turn the trick against the steel-chinned Cleveland cutter. Curtis Hatchettman Sheppard bombed out Maxim in the first round in March, 1942. Maxim whipped the Hatchettman a month later. Former heavyweight champions Ezzard Charles and Jersey Joe Walcott never floored Maxim. The 30-year-old champion, nettled by Moore's prediction of a knockout victory, said "there's an old saying; 'string along with the champion.' Well, I'm the champ and I'll still be the champion when the fight is over."

Rose Bowl Sold Out for Big Game PASADENA, Dec. 16 (P)—The Rose bowl is "sold out" for its football titanic New Year's day between Southern California and Wisconsin. A long queue quickly bought up the 3500 seats offered at public sale this morning. The fee was $5.50 for a and zone view of the struggle.
