By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, December 29—Putting a slashing finish on a dull boxing year, Ace Hudkins, the Nebraska ‘wildcat, has clawed his way to the position of lead- ing contender ro;‘ the world middle- welght championship. He gained the prospect of a return match with Mickey Walker by slugging his way to a close decision over Rene De Cos of Belgium in Madison Square Garden ls.stl.k ntglhc.t sHudklns fim: uax;e bout to Walker last Summer o - cision that met with the disfavor of many fans. The puncher from the corn country and the Belgian Fox provided a spec- tacular show, battling on even terms up to the final round. Hudkins won only by his last round attack when he tore into De Vos and forced him back in spite of a gallant attempt to stand off the rush. Up to that time each had won four rounds and onme was even. Many of the customers agreed with Referee Lou Magnolia, who called the scrap a draw, but the two judges agreed that Hudkins had a slight margin. Keeping right on top of his rival every minute, the shaggy-haired Hud- kins gained the victory by aggressive- ness that could not be denied. He kept boring steadily in, carrying the fight to De Vos regardless of the punish- ment he received. The same tactics brought him close to defeat in the eighth and ninth rounds when the Bel- glan made a slashing attack of his own, shooting in sharper, cleaner blows that had Hukins groggy for a while. Both fighters took plenty of punches during the battle and came out with a good supply of cuts and bruises. De Vos received a big welt over one eye, while his ninth-round stand gave Hudkins several cuts around the mouth. ‘Whether or not Hudkins will get an- other shot at the title or will remain in the leading contender’s role is open to question. Walker has taken few chances with the crown and before last night’s battle was decided it was announced in Boston that the champion had agreed to fight there February 8 in a non-title bout. His opponent is to be the winner of another middle-weight contenders’ battle between Dave Shade and George Courtney.

RENEGAR, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW ORLEANS, December 29.— The great and near great among the Nation’s foot ball coaches gathered here today to discuss the advisability of rec- ommending changes in the gridiron rules. While a few &m approximately 200 coaches and athletic directors here to attend the annual meeting of the Na- tional Association of Foot Ball Coaches hhad indicated the budding of ideas for the rules committee to ponder, most of the coaches informally expressed them- selves favoring the rules much as they are. One proj recommendation, how- ever, which would revise the rule to make a fumble dead af the point of recovery met with favorable lobby com- ment. Coach Fielding H. Yost of the University of Michigan told newspaper men he favored such a change, believ- ing the loss of the ball was enough pen- alty for such a mechanical error. Coach Alonzo Stagg of the University of Chicago, a member of the rules com- mittee, says he opposed a change in the rules. Robert Neyland of the University of ‘Tennessee, whose team has lost but one game in three years, summed up the situation for many of the coaches when he declared to new: spaper men that “I can’t keep 3:5 rTules now, so if they BEAR D TORNADD PRIMED FOR GANE Grid Forces Appear at To| Form for Contest on New Year Day. BY VICTOR G. SIDLER, Associated Press Sports Writer. PASADENA, Calif, December 29.— The height of physical perfection apparently had been reached today by the foot ball forces of Georgla Tech and California, which, on New Year day, will clash in thé Rose Bowl here. Not desiring to lose players through injury, Coach Clarence “Nibs” Price of California, and Coach Bill Alexander of Tech, said that the intervening time will be devoted to shorter workouts than have been in order. “From now on there will be no more hard workouts for my team,” was Alexander’s announcement. “I cannot afford to lose any players through in- jury or iliness and will devote most of the time remaining to light practice drills that will keep the condition of the players at the peak.” Price stated that the Bears would have a rather sturdy drill today— shorter than the three-hour session of yesterday—after which they may see a high school game at the Los Angeles Coliseum. There will be no practice Sunday other than a skull drill at the blackboard on Georgia Tech plays. It was a long and flerce session that Price sent his Bears through yesterday, as the last tough workout before the intersectional game. The practice was climaxed by defensive work against Georgia Tech plays, perhaps the first real drill the Bears have undergone in this department since the opening of practice eight days ago. The varsity successfully stopped Golden Tornado plays as run off by a practice team.

Encouraged by their victory last Sat- urday night over Maryland State Normal School, Gallaudet’s squad has been working hard this week and is e:’xpfiswd to show improved form to- night. Cosgrove.and Drapiewski are expected to start as forwards tonight for Gal- laudet, with Cain at center and Wurde- man and Hokanson at the guards. Monaghan, Bradley, Grinnell, Katz, Stebbins and Ringle are capable re- serves, who will be ready for action. Among the Georgefown University entries in the third annual indoor track meet of the Knights of Columbus in Brooklyn January 5 will be Karl Wild- ermuth, who will strive to repeat his triumph of a year ago in the special sprint series at 60, 80 and 100 meters, and Eddie Hoctor, Vic Burke and Eddie O’Shea, who will perform in the spe- cial 500-yard race for a leg on the Gov. Alfred E. Smith trophy. 1 Because he will not have oompleudi a year at Duke University until Janu- ary 26 Joe Croson, Washington boy and former Tech star, will not play with the Blue Devils when they engage Georgetown here January 8. Bill Wer- ber and Harry Councilor, also former layers, will, however, be in the Duke -up that will face the Hoyas. Candidates for George Washington's freshmen basket ball team are being hustled along by Coach “Rusty” Thomp- son, who hopes that the speed of his, team will offset its lack of weight.

The National Collegiate Athletic Asso- clation clased yesterday after reappoint- ing the same foot ball rules committee and the some officers, with Gen. Palmer E. Pierce as president. The association left certain recom- mendations of its president concerning the Amateur Athletic Union and the American Olympic Association to a committee to study. Gen. Pierce had charged that the 1028 games violated the spirit of the Olympic Association’s constitution inasmuch as he said the A. A. U. virtually controlled the nam- ing of the Olympic team instead of the track and fleld committee of the Olympic body. He recommended that the Olympic body be asked to meet soon to consider what he declared was a violation of its constitutional spirit.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 29.— Foot ball squads from ite sides of the country were on their toes for their fourth annual East-West intersectional charity game here today. Gridiron stars from many colleges and universities are included in theé starting line-up. Westerners held a big edge in the matter of victories thus far, having won_the last three games played, but the Easterners were favorites to triumph this year. Injuries forced a reorganization of the West team two days ago, when Mort Kaer, former University of Southern California star, was substituted for “Brick” Marcus, California halfback. The latter broke his shoulder in a scrim- mage session. Practice for the Eastern eleven has gone along smoothly in the Stanford University Stadium, and re- ports of their showing there have made them favorites. Upward of 50,000 tickets have been sold for the contest, and game officials expect a capacity crowd of 60,000. ‘The probable starting line-up: EAST. Haveraft, Minnesota. Nowack, Tllinois.

Associated Press Sports Editor. EW YORK, December 20.—Tex Rickard, in his annual signed boxing forecast for the New York Evening World today, doubts whether Jack Dempsey will attempt a come-back and puts his finger on W. L. (Young) Stribling as the most likely successor to the heavy- weight throne vacated by Gene Tunney. While in the predicting mood, the promoter also ventures the opinion that new champions will be crowned in every ring division with the possible exception of the lightweight class, ‘where he regards Mandell as well entrenched. Rickard’s analysis of the heavy- weight situation is particularly inter- esting, coming on top of his definite announcement of the match between two of the foremost contenders, Jack Sharkey and Young Stribling, for Feb- Tuary 24 at Beach. a year ago predicted Gene Tunney would successfully defend his title against any rival, and he remarks in his latest survey that if the champion had not retired “he would be the only one whose honors would seem absolute- 1y safe to_me.” While he carefully side-steps any positive forecast, Rickard takes up the subject of Tunney’s successor thus: “If I must express an opinion as to the man most likely to come through I would suggest that you keep an eye on Young Stribling. “Although Jack Sharkey has disap- pointed me at times, as has every one of the recognized contenders for the heavyweight_honors, I have thought all along that he is the class of the big fellows. But one thing in connection with the pretensions of Stribling has struck me forcibly—none of the chal- lengers for the place left vacant by Tunney is anxious to box the Georglan. Even Sharkey shied at the match with Stribling down in Miami the last week in February. Sharkey intimated he would rather box Stribling in New York for half the money he will get for the same match in Miami Beach. 1 must say, however, there is one chal- lenger who is not averse to meeting Stribling and that is Loughran.” Despite his intimation to the contrary .ln Miami Beach says in the World: ““There probably will be no comeback by Jack Dempsey. I would like to see him climb through the ropes again, but any one who is trying to create the impression that Jack is certain to make another bid for the title is talking without any basis of fact. Only one thing would encourage Jack to make another try for his title and that is if a certain type of fighter should come through as winner of the heavyweight eliminations. I do not care to commit myself further on that point, but I am pretty well sa Dempsey has fought his last fight.” ‘Whether or not Dempsey comes back, the “big shot” by which Rickard hopes to turn out a recognized heavyweight champion in 1929 will be touched off in New York, he declares, despite re- ports that Boston, Montreal or another site would be chosen. Rickard belleves Loughran has too strong & chance to win the heavyweight crown to linger any more among the 175-pounders, in which division the promoter expects Tuffy Griffiths, Jimmy Br;dd&fk. .{:c} Dem!?‘.rn'e"gé Leo ‘lmnskl and others to furn: cipal ac- cmix{: for hmn. ciost lere is a summary of Rickard’s pre- dictions for the Evening World in other d“%’okm: Walk ickey er probably will vacate the middleweight title, because of diffi- culty making the weight, leaving Rene De Vos, Ace Hudkins, George Courtney and Dave Shade as successors.
