AW E SHE'S STILL SNORIN' - By GEORGE By ALAN J. GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) Times have changed in the boxing racket, like everything else. It seems to be quite an argument whether it has been for better or for worse, so far as the ancient game of cuffing chins is concerned. Certainly the competitive features of 1928 were far removed class from the epic campaign of 192 in 3, when Dempsey and Firpo fought to a smashing climax a campaign that saw virtually every title staked &t one time or another. What has the last season or two, with a scattering few exceptions, had to offer Criqui-Dundee, to compare with Leonard-Tendler, T the Wilde-Villa, Criqui-Kilbane, Willard-Johnson, and unney-Greb, Wil- lard-Firpo and Firpo-Dempsey scraps, all staged in 1923 around New York? Perhaps as conspicuous a chang that period affected the man who Tex Rickard from the rich and har; e as any in the fistic business over pulled the strings.

Dempsey had been out of the ring two years when he fought Tom Gibbons at Shelby. “Well,” said Tex out of a clear sky, “you boys can go ahead and say I've clinched the match.” No frills, no sounding of the tocsin to bring the crowd scurrying.

The Juneau Girls w out with a determination to or lose, but after a hard fight. i M. Carlson and R.

Compared to the last |girls' game the match was play {by the ‘local girls in far better style, but their hard checking and |fast rushes with the ball wer not enough to keep the € |against them from mounting and jat the half the pointers wera 10 to 17 for Douglas. Of the seven free throws resuit- {ing from fouls three were made, two by Juneau and one by Doug- las.

The scores of the two games were: . Hilltoppers 16, Islanders 15; "Ju- neau Girls 24, Douglas Girls 34. THE BOYS' GAME ‘The boys’ match was marked by the fine teamwork of the Douglas' players and the dogged determina tion of the Hilltoppers. For the first and second quarters the local, players did not seem to find them—l selves. Time and again they failed to connect with attempted shots| and all the while the Islanders; kept adding to their score. The| first quarter ended 2 to 6 for Doug- las. i Better team work was shown during the second by the lccals. The added greatly to their check.| ing and offensive playing and add- ed 4 points to the score while' Douglas made 6 counters. ‘i.c: Gair brothers made some finz short and long shots that were the only counters for Douglas during the first half. During the last half J. Orme, Brandt and Sturrock came into the playing with some long range shots that raised the house. J. Orme was the idol of the fans, when in quick succession he scored three baskets, two of them from well out in the ‘field and his fourth bas- ket for the last half, and last scoring pointer of the game sent the crowd into a frenzy. Juneau failed to convert on five fouls and Douglas converted one out of four fouls. To many it was only a lucky break that enabled the Hilltoppers to even the scores, but the more experienced fans were forced to ad- mit that Juneau came back with some plays tlrat were uncanny in their execution. .
