Van Wyk, coach, will give the boys a light workout tonight in preparation for the fray. Van Wyk, Hank Brown, and Doc Burdick are almost certain starters for the local outfit. SANGOR KAYOED BY ARMANDO IN GREAT UPSET LAST NIGHT -oughran Easily Defeats Peter- son; Shuffle Callahan Also Knocked Out trip and and Chicago, Dec. 18—i.7)}—A 20-year- ald Cuban youth named Jose Arman- do, fighting under the war-like nom | de plume of Armando Santiago, to- day became the foremost contender of the world’s junior lightweight championship as a result of his sure prising two-round knockout victory aver Joey Sangor, of Milwaukee, last aight. Sangor, hitherto regarded as_ the Dutstanding contender for the 130- pound title, was smashed to defeat in @ spectacular battle that stunned the 10,000 spectators who filled the col- tseum. The freckled face Milwaukee boy had accepted the match merely as a warm up for his championship encounter with Tod Morgan, of Seat- } ile, the titleholder, in Milwaukee on New Year's day. Was Two-Fisted Fighter Instead of finding Santiago a push- over, Sangor met a two-fisted fighter who traded punch for punch. Santiago finished Sangor like he Was an ordinary ham and cgger, in- stead of a contender for a champion- ship. After a bristling first round in which they traded punches like two | longshoremen, Sangor came out con- ‘idently for the second.

BY HENRY L. FARRELU The suggestion of John A. Heydler time for the pitcher hardly will be written into an amendment to the The National League ac- ing from its dignified and respected president but the American League laughed it right out of the meeting. Baseball men, taking 9 lesson from the wanderings and meanderings of the football rule makers, think the | game is pretty good as it st if the sport needs impr could be best improved by improving the breed of the player and not writ- ing down the rules to fit inferior me- chanics. See Another Whizzer The old-timers never will stop talk- ing about the terrific blunder that was pulled when the rabbit ball was jintroduced and in the Heydler sug- gestion they see another attempt to satisfy a demand for hitting that the ering with the rules or the imple- ments in use. “Every man in baseball and every customer who takes the trouble to think about it knows what is the mat- ter with baseball—if there really is anything wrong,” Jack McAllister, former manager of the Cleveland In- dians and a smart baseball man, said recently. His opinion is that of any one of a dozen or more authorities who have discussed the same subject | for a number of years. “Baseball's only serious deficiency | is not one that can be corrected by | change in the playing rules. The de- | | ficiency is the shortage of first-class | players and it might be corrected by | a@ chance in the regulations of the | game. I think it could be,” McAllister said. Production Behind Demand “There is no doubt that the pro- duction of good young ball players was entirely stopped during the per- jiod in which we were at war. 10 years have passed and the produc- tion hasn't caught up with the de- | jmand. There is no reason why we | |find so many veterans in the maj {leagues other than that no young! players have come along to take their | | places. And the young players who | {do come up don’t get the chance to develop. “I would think it would be worth the experiment to change the regu- lations so that a major league club could carry only 20.men during the Playing season. There certainly is | SOXY PHANN, The honeymoon is over when hubby starts chew- ing tobacco again . that a pinch hitter be sent up every | players can't meet without more tink- | But | BASEBALL PLAYERS AND NOT RULES SHOULD BE IMPROVED nothing crazy in the suggestion. 1 believe that a team should be able to go through an ordinary season with 20 players just as well as th 25. “There are any number of good ball players sitting on the bench who ought to be out playing regularly. You have to be in there every day to de- velop. Look what happened to Lefty ODoul and Mike Gazella with the Yankees. They sat through a whole career. When those young fellows sit on the bench day after day they get lazy and lose ambition. And when they are used in a couple of games in ‘a row they get so stiff they have to | on the bench again. 3 Haven't Chance “The point that I am trying to make is that those extra bench warmers are holding jobs that some kids in the minors are working up to ;and as long as available positions | with major league teams are filled up | with sitters they haven't the chance. “With conditions as they are now young players come up before they are ready and they are directed to a seat on the bench. They get better money. They live in good hotels, travel on first-class railroads, see good shows and work in perfect ball parks When the time comes that they have to go back to the minors they ere discontented and they tell other young ball players that it is a bum racket. “If there were only 20 jobs on a ball club every man would have to hustle for his job and when a young fellow came up and landed a job as a regular he would feel that he was set for a regular job and that the minors uldn't get him until the old dogs were SS .

Jack Carroll, Minneapolis, vs. Tom Haley, Olivia, Minn., four rounds at 175 pounds. Art Philipson, Clear Lake, Wis., vs. Bill Nokomis, Benson, Minn., four rounds at 190 pounds. Jack McCann, North Dakota's heavyweight champion, opens his winter campaign at the new Minne- apolis Auditorium tonight when he trades punches with Tommy Havel, Pine City, Minn., in the six-rouna semi-windup to the Harry Dillon- Mike Mandell 10-round headliner. Though the fight is set for six rounds, McCann assured Bismarck fans before leaving the city that the bout would not last nearly that long. He says he is going to flatten the boy early. Has Trained Hard Jack has been in the Twin Cities the past week in training at Potts’ gymnasium and writes that he is in fine shape. He plans to card a few fights for himself in the northwest the next few weeks and ‘then pack his grip and shamble to New York City, where he will be under the pro- tecting wing of Leo P. Flynn, his manager. This will be Jack's first fight since he fought Pierre Charles. Belgium. heavyweight champion of Europe, in the semi- wind-up to the Heeney- Sharkey fight at Madison Square Garden in New York City last win- ter. Otto Von Porst, Norwegian heavy- weight, challenges the winner of the Mike Mandell-Harry Dillion fight, which will be the headline bout on tonight's program. Porst seems cager to establish himself in Minneapolis again this winter. Both Mandell and Dillon have agreed on terms to box the big Nor- wegian.

He thinks he will be ready for service again in 1929. TECH AND TROJANS BOTH HAVE CHANCE FOR NATIONAL HONORS Tournament of Roses Presents Unusual Feature This Year; Winner Will Have Clear Claim to Title With No Strings Attached; Teams Are Even. By BOB MATHERNE The opportunity for one of two) teams being acclaimed as national football champions without the nuis- ance of several pretenders to the throne standing about presents itseli this year in the annual Tournament of Roses game on New Year's Day. The game, unlike some of the others in recent years, does carry a championship tinge with Georgia Tech and University of California as contenders and the outcome should make either Georgia Tech or South- ern California the national cham- pions. And that is said with due knowledge that any loyal Californian Von Porst, in regard to fights dur- ing the next five weeks in the Min- neapolis Auditorium. As things look right now, some one of the three will fight the winner of the headline bout tonight. Philipson, who meets Bill Nokomis in the opener, enters the ring tonight with a gdéod recommendation from Billy Hart, Wisconsia boxing commis- sioner, Eau Claire. Billy says that Philipson weighs 190 pounds and is a real heavyweight championship pros- pect. Nokomis made a big hit in Minneapolis when he slugged the daylights out of Bill Wolfson’s big heavyweight, Joe Malloy. Only one bout on the program to- night is set between two men who do not weigh between 175 and 250 pounds, that being a mix between Roy Michaelson and Jimmie Gill at 152 pounds. COACH LIVES THIRTY MILES FROM QUTRIT Baldwin, Kas., Dec. 18.—(”)—Baker | university has a commuting coach for its basketball team. He is Balfour Jeffrey, who guard- ed the baskets for the University of Kansas when it won the Missouri valley championship in 1926 and 1927. Although his playing days are over, he still attends the Kansas law school ?/at Lawrence. It is 30 miles between the Baker and Kansas campuses, and Jeffrey travels that distance twice a day to train his Wildcats to throw the ball into the cage. He usually makes the trip by motor car. NORTHWESTERN 10 MEET NOTRE DAME Chicago, Dec. 18.—(#)—Invasion of Notre Dame by Fae Hebe sa crip- pled team tops the Ten's three- game basketball card ht. Northwestern has never Erne ree the Ramblers on their loor. and pros inigni’s attempl, as three Northwest- {forward, “Rut” Walter. center, and iMerrill Munday, guard, were stricken with influenza. it was also doubtful whether J Haas, star forward, would be able to a into the game. Minnesota, h has will argue the matter out for the Golden Bears. Georgia Tech, unbeaten and untied, is regarded as the best team of the east at this time. It might be said that it is a southern team but in this Pasadena game it is ragarded as an easterner and will go down in defeat or up in victory as an eastern team. California, however, doesn’t rank as Pacific Coast champion. Southern California was awarded the title on the face of things, with a victory over Stanford that tied California, and a} tie with California, deserves it. Cal- ifornia, at the best, can rank but a half-share of the title and to give them that necessitates loss of memory on two tie games. One tie seems bet- ter than pa a ans Title All of that'n means ns Georgia Tech, by winning, will get the title. California, should it win, will make the title se: cure for Southern California. Because of this championship ele- ment, the game this year is causing more whoopee out on the Pacific slopes than any. Tournament of Roses game has in years. Rose Bowl offi- cials look for a sellout and. why shouldn't they sell 70,000 tickets when a championship battle is the menu offered? Other than this championship angle, the fact that California is back in the money out there and going along with the best in a football way is causing great interest in the game. The Bears haven't been in on the Pasadena. game since 1922 when they held Washington and Jefferson to a scoreless tie. They have one other game to their credit at Pasadena, played the year before against Ohio State. They won, 28-0. The fact that California is in the money this year is a big boost for Nibs Price, their young coach, who was about to be hooted out of his pob before the season opened. His teams weren't much in 1927 and 1928, but his team this year was rated just about the best defensive outfit ae ip experts for an All-America berth, is on one wing and a sophomore named Russ Avery, who happens to be an old Olympic club performer, plays the other. They are good, as a pair and as individuals, and plenty hard to get around or through. The California eleven doesn't boast the best offense in the world, but they are pretty tough on defense and they may have a surprise offense, like they showed against Pennsylvania in a post-season game last year, to startle the southern team. They have some nice running backs in Lom, Eisan and Schmidt, and a great punter in Lom. Incidentally, a favorite attack of Price is the kicking game. That is, See. at every opportunity, hoping for a break. This is what the late Andy Smith used to do, and the Pricemen have followed the system very effectively this year. Lom, as said before, can punt with the. best. TED LEWIS STAGES WALKOUT IN FIGHT Toronto, Ont., Dec. 18—(7)—Ted (Kid) Lewis, ‘former . welterweight champion, walked out of the ring in the first round of his 10-round bout with Charley Belanger, Canadian lightweight champion, here last night. The men had hardly squared off when Referee Lou Marsh ordered Lewis to remove a rubber mouth- Piece. After some dispute the Briton obeyed. Then Marsh warned Lewis for holding. The veteran of 250 or more ring encounters paid little or no attention and when Marsh broke up several clinches by main strength, Lewis held up his hands, through the ropes and stalked away to his dressing room. Belanger was awarded the decision and the boxing commission announced Lewis’ end of the purse would be turned over to charity. So unexpected was Lewis’ action that the fans failed to recover from the shock in time to give vent to their protests while the Briton still was within hearing range. KID CHOCOLATE IS PALUSO CONQUEROR New York, Dec. 18.—(4)—Kid Choc- >| late, flashy little Cuban negro who has been cutting a wide swath through the ranks of the lesser ban- tamweights, has overcome the biggest obstacle encountered so far along his route to the top, Emil Paluso of Salt Lake City. ‘The kid gave Paluso a terrific lac- ing through eight rounds of their bout last night, winning on a techni- section and this fact stopped a lot cal knockout when the referee de- the talk around Berkeley that he | ded rpeeg no longer could defend Bears @ coach.

Loyola grabbed the lead at the outset and never relinquished it. Only once did North Dakota threaten and that was near the end of the final half when it was one field goal from a tie. Charley Murphy, a six foot three inch center, starred defensively and offensively for Loyola. He was a bulwark in the zone defense, which both teams used, and he sank two field goals and two free throws. Loyola sank two field goals before the Flickertafls could get started. Then they responded witha free throw only to have their opponents come back with another field goal. At the half, Loyola led, 10 to 6. At the start of the second half, Loyola promptly sank two more field goals, one by Murphy and another by Lawless to lead 14 to 6. At this point, North Dakota, with Boyd and Brown looping long shots, pulled up to within two points only to have Loyola's defense stiffen. For the last eight minutes of play, North Dakota caged but one free throw. The lineups: Loyola (18) Lawless, rf Bremner, If Murphy, c ..... Deegan, rg .... Durberg. rg Smith, rg Waesco, If .
