Naticnal Championship Loses Amonz a plurality of experts, how- ever, these games can do nothing more than throw additional light on just which team deserves to be rankad behind Minnesota. Not the least of the season’s strange devel- cpments was the spectacle of Min-| nesota, despite its defeat by North- western after 21 successive victories, again selected in the final Associat- ed Press ranking poll, as the coun- try’s No. 1 outfit. The final rank- |ings otherwise placed Louisiana !State second and Pittsburgh third.

WILL ROGERS SONS FAVORED TOWINTROPHY Polo Cup Donated by Will ogers to be Present- ed by His Widow SANTA MONICA, Cal., Dec. 26.— Favorite in tomorrow’s polo match scaled. | Dempsey pretty well demonstrat- ed that a boxer in the neighborhood of 200 pounds is big enough to whip any man. When a fighter goes be- yond the 200-pound mark he sacri- fices speed. And speed is para- mount in the fight game—speed afoot as well as speed in punching. Big, bulging muscles very often make a fighter formidable, but as in the case with Carnera, they are not conducive to effective punch- ing. The giant Primo simply could not deliver his blows with the snap that made them damaging. Primo pushed, rather than snapped, his punches. Unless dll signs are misleading, Torrance is likely to be just the type of puncher that Carnera was. Most of his athletic training, and his training in the art of shot- putting in partcular, would tend to fers to seek boxing honors. The' the season.

Parks, head of he company. The new cannery replaces Parks’ yak River cannery which was de- troyed by fire a year ago. The Elia- mar location was formerly a mining amp, end many buildings, includ- ng a bunkhouse and several resi- lences, which were part of the min- ng tablishment will be used in cnnection with the cannery opera- tion. These buildings have all been put in first class condition as part of the fall building program. During the past fall, the company built a dock and a new water main. This work required two months. It is expected the spring building pro- gram, including the new cannery and warehouse, each 44 by 250 feet, will require about three months. A crew of twenty men, largely local residents, is being used on the job. These men will have a total of five months’ employment during the off season on this construction. The cannery will be either one or two lines, with a possibility that one line will be installed for the first season, and a second added later.

SRS 2 N, CHRISTMAS AT HOME SPEEDS RECOVERY OF LITTLE TOM MORGAN Santa Claus, besides many other gifts, brought returning health to Thomas Morgan, Jr., the child’s fa- ther said today. The lad was taken to the Morgan home on the Fritz Cove road, Thurs- Hos- pital, and being back in familiar surroundings for Christmas was a tonic that did much to speed the youngster's recovery. While Dizzy Dean was reported up for sale by the St. Louis Cardinals for something tike $200,000 or so, the loquacious “wrler professed more interest in his golf game than in reported deals.
