' ON THE SIDE LINES With the Sports Editor By DENMAN THOMPSON THE trend toward intersectionalism in foot ball has become in- JACK MAY REGAIN TITLE IN RING ONLY Prehn Is Against Muldoon’s Proposal That Ex-Champ Be Handed Crown. Br the Associated Press. HICAGO, January 5.—The Na- tional Boxing Association will not recognize Jack Dempsey or any one else as heavyweight champion until he wins the title in the ring. Concerning the proposal of William Muldoon, veteran New York boxing commissioner, that Dempsey be recog- nized immediately as the champion, Paul Prehn, president of the N. B. A, said: “The National Boxing Association is not in favor of naming champions in the heavyweight or any other class until they win recognition as such in the ring. ‘What would be the purpose and what would the sportsmanship amount to if commissions named champions without their coming through to win the titles? “While I believe Dempsey is an out- standing heavyweight prospect, I see no reason for naming him the heavyweight title holder now. Let him show the world he earns it and that he is the b‘oegt man in the heavyweight division ay.” NEW YORK, January 5 (A).— ‘Whether Jack Dempsey fights again, he is the heavyweight champion of world now, so far as William Muldoon, veteran New York boxing commissioner, s concerned. ‘The once famous “solid man,” now 83 and snowy-haired, but still a muscular mountain, is one of the sponsors of the Muldoon-Tunney Trophy to be awarded the successor of the retired title holder. He was Gene Tunney's firm friend and adviser during the difficult days when the big Marine strove first to win and then to hold the heavy- ‘weight crown. Several times he stepped into Dempsey's controversies with the athletics commission to aid in dis- ciplining the old Manassa mauler, then king of the boxing realm. But now Muldoon sponsors Dempsey. Yesterday he named Jack one of the greatest athletes in the history of the ru{, deplored the improper training and poor handling that had been his lot, scored the famous “long count” at Chicago, and offered his conviction that Dempsey, at 34, still has one of his greatest fights left in his system. “Dempsey,” he said, “needs no long, vigorous training grind to prepare him for the ring again. He needs only to build “fi a great reserve of nervous energy careful training. His legs went on him in the match with Tunney at Chicago because he had trained too long and too hard. He was prepared then as though for a finish match of the old days, rather than a 10-round bout. “The former champion, at 34, is not too old for the ring.

Add to this the fact that the coaches practically are a unit in asserting that there has been nc diminution in the character- building qualities of foot ball on the active participants thereof and the yodelers of over-emphasis are left practically breathless. It is a widely accepted fact that the only justification needed by foot ball is the means it provides for inculcating, through its im- posed discipline and strict devo- tion to duty, the ideals of good sportsmanship and the philosophy to gracefully accept the hard knocks life holds in store for every undergraduate. This generally is accepted as being true to a greater degree even than that the pri- mary purpose of track racing is to improve the breed of the horse. That makes it just about unani- mous and serves the purpose of this columnist, even though he be not laboring on a space-rate basis, to observe that “all-star” contests are striving heroically to keep pace with the intersectional idea, and to broach the fact that it is proposed to bring the thing close to home in the not distant future —next Christmas day to be exact. E. P. Harrison Writes. In that connection we present herewith a self-explanatory letter from Ernest P.

TWO GOLFERS TIED IN SAN DIEGO OPEN Br the Associated Press. CHULA VISTA, Calif., January 5. ‘Thé invading train of stellar golfers to- day headed for the 36-hole milestone of the $2500 72-hole San Diego open, ‘wiere all but the 64 low scorers and ties will get off. At the throttle, as the second 18-hole round of qualifying play got under way, ‘were two pairs of steady hands, those of Al Espinosa, swarthy Chicagoan, and Mort Dutra, tall and equally dark- haired Tacoma, Wash., pro. These two passed the first test yesterday with fly- ing colors, turning in brilliant cards of 63, to head the large and colorful field of contenders. But they were closely pressed by Charles Guest of the Tam O'Shanter Club, Detroit, who, but for a little trouble on three of the holes, would have been at the fore of the field. Guest rounded the layout in 69, three strokes under par. Walter Hagen displayed his tendency tn play all over the course, but the Brit- ish amateur champion managed to con- fine his strokes to 70. Five others shared that division. They were Craig Wood of New York, Henry Cuici of Bridgeport, Conn.; Jules Blanton of To- Jedo, Dallas Jeffers of Long Beach, Caiif., and Bill Foley, a youngster from Coronado, Calif. Under par also were Johnny Rodgers, Jong-driving Denver, Colo., pro; Horton Smith, dashing young Joplin, Mo, money winner in several recent tourna- Al Watrous, veteran golfer of Jetroit: Leo Diegel of the Agua Caliente Goif Club in Mexico, national profes- sional champion; Tom Stevens, veteran internationalist of Los Angeles, and Wil- 171;rd Hutchinson of Pasadena.

There seems to be no good reason why such a game could not as easily e staged in this section as anywhere else in the United States, and it, of creasingly strong in recent years. the big games played between elevens of sectors considerably in presenting a convincing argument against the practice. financial reports of so many institutions of higher learning reveal that it is on the gridiron that funds are col- Not so many seasons back on the fingers of a thumbless hand. Now the total could not be similarly enumerated if a man were twins measure. The Army-Navy clash that the up-and-doing Mr. Fred Britten was so instrumental in sending to Chicago two years ago last Fall after the proposal had been branded as silly by the can't-be-doners, seemingly removed the last barrier of pedagogical conservatism. And with Rockne's Ramblers from South Bend setting the pace it has gotten so now that the varsity coach who doesn't schedule three or fit each year lays himself open to the charge of seeking a reputation by beating set-ups. All this has served to furnish additional fuel for those wont to decry the “over-emphasis” of foot ball. The sport continues to grow the freight at the turnstiles, how- an “old grad” would have difficulty This is ia utilized for other sports as well, and that but for foot ball these other sports could not be carried on of the United States has, up to this time, been denied the privilege of witnessing a contest such as the above would no doubt prove to be, and it need not, and if properly managed and planned would not, interfere with the games to be played at Atlanta and San Francisco next Christmas. Kindly think this matter over, and in case this movement takes more definite shape, we will of course, depend upon the support of your paper in putting this thing across. The matter has been taken up with the three Shrines above named, and with four or five well known foot ball coaches in this sec- tion of the country. A notice to the effect that such a movement has been started if placed in The Star, would materially assist us in the undertaking. Thanking you in advancg for anything you may be able to do along the lines above suggested. We Second the Motion. Our vote is an enthusiastic “gye.” %L is true, of course, that start- ing next December 25, a clash of all-star elevens representing the Northern and Southern sections of Southern Conference is to be held annually at Atlanta and for which a number of players otherwise available for the proposed North- South contest would be drafted. But a plentiful supply of gridiron luminaries would remain avail- able for a South combination Lo pit against one from the North. A person has but to read the in- variable comment of any picker of an “All” team to have this fact impressed on him. It usually is something to the general effect that the players named for the first and second teams are so WASHINGTON., SONNENBERG NS HEAVY AT TITLE Gains Fall Over Lewis, Who Later Is Disqualified for Leaving Ring. By the Associated Press. BOSTON, January 5.—Wrestling had a new champion today—"Dynamite” Guz Sonnenberg, former Dartmouth foot ball player, almost a novice at the game. Sonnenberg won the heavyweight mat title when Ed “Strangler” Lewis was disqualified in their match here last night. Sonnenberg had taken the first fall with his flying tackle” in 29 minutes 45 seconds, and when they returned to the ring, he tried to drop the champion again with the same tactics. The rugged foot ball player, who after college continued his gridiron career with the Providence Steamrol- lers, a professional team, butted Lewis seven times in rapid succession, forcing the champion to fall or crawl outside of the ropes to escape punishment. Each time Lewis sought safety out- side, he was_ ordered to return by Referee Leon Burbank. The official gave Lewis ample warning and, after the seventh butt, counted him out of his title, which he turned over to Sonnenberg to the great delight of the 20,000 spectators, who filled the spacious Boston Garden. The decision, which stripped Lewis of be jeweled championship belt as well as his_title, drew the vociferous protests of Billy Sandow, the “Strang- ler’s” manager and confidant. Sandow claimed that his man was never entirely out of the ring. During the bout, which lasted 38 minutes and 6 seconds, Sonnenberg was on the offense at all times and had to force matters to stir the cautious Lewis into action. Lewis received $50,000 for his night’s work. Sonnenberg’s share ran about $8,000. Total receipts exceeded $72.000. By winning the title, Sonnenberg probably assured Boston of professional foot ball next Fall. The former Dart- mouth player, who became “sold” on that game while playing with the Steamrollers, this year’s professional champions, promised that if he de- feated Lewis for the title, he would use the resulting profits in the promo- tion of the professional game in this . 0L CHANP FADES ASNEW STARRES Dundee Is a Game Loser to nearly of like caliber that any onc could be substituted for another, etc. Other more or less pertinent ob- jections to such a North-South game might be advanced, such as the possible disinclination of ath- letes to continue in training be- yond the close of the regular sea- son, the possibility of bad weather in Baltimore on any December 25, and the early hour at which a contest would have to be started on a day when the hours of day- light are close to the shortest of the year, to mention a few. But, as John Arnold Heydler of the National League remarked course, would be played for the bene- fit of the Shrine hospital fund, the entire recel to be turned over to properly authorized ‘members of the above Shirines for distribution.

MIAMI, Fla, January 5.—Gene Sarazen led the pack in the annual Miami open golf tournament today, even as he led the van to the Miami and Miami Beach open championship last ear. % Close on the heels of the brilliant New York shotmaker as the field entered the finals this morning, were Jock Hutchison, the international pro- fessional, and Charley Mayo, Jackson- ville, Fla., professional. They were two strokes behind Sarazen’s brilliant 146 yesterday. The defending champion turned in_ two 73s during the hectic showers which hampered the big field. George Christ, with 149, and Joe Turnesa, New York State pros. finished the first two rounds ahead of Johnny Farrell, national open champion. Turnesa had 150 and Farrell 151. Considerably further down the list were such widely known stars as Mike Turncea, Harry Hampton, Mike Brady and others. Sarazen today was looked upon as the favorite to retain his title. He also holds the Miami Beach open title, which he annexed last year.

EW YORK, January 5—The end of the road, a long and hon- orable way that has wound through fistiana for over 18 years, appeared today in_ the sight of Johnny Dundee, brave little warrior who has fought them all. Hheartbroken that he was not con- sidered a fit opponent despite his 35 years and over 400 ring battles, for young Al Sangor, latest of the light- weight sensations, the bounding scotch- wop asked a chance to prove his worth against a lesser opponent. He got it last night and went down to defeat, beaten to the decision by Charley Phil Rosenberg, former bantamweight king, in a 10-round semi-final at Madison Square Garden. There is little left of the ring tech- nique of one of the greatest little war- riors of all times, a champion once in both the featherweight and junior light- weight divisions. The heart of the little Italian, big enough and game enough for a heavyweight, still carried on, driving on into a losing battle, but the flesh has given away to age. 0l1d Dundee at Times. At times Johnny baffled the rugged Rosenberg, 10 years his junior and five unds heavier, with the lightning left 0oks, the bounding footwork, and cagey swapping at close quarters that made him famous. A few times Dundee tried his old trick of bounding back- ward into the ropes, leaping forth again to spear his opponent off-balance. But last night this maneuver, a trick John- ny himself invented, was just a slow- énouon exhibition of how it used to be one. At the close of the bout, Dundee, Vho fought Benny Leonard six times in no decision bouts, Johnny Kilbane, Freddy Welsh and Prankie Burns, was just a tired old man. his black thatch, now thinning, tangled over weary eyes, his face lined with marks of fatigue. There was a blotch of blond above his right eye, souvenir of a sharp right to the temple in the third round. Schmeling Vietor. Although Johnny was beaten solidly about the body at times at long range, where he once was invincible, the Scotch wop had the satisfaction of floor- ing Rosenberg for no count in the sixth round with a right to the chin, thus adding, in perhaps his final engagement, to the reputation he has always borne for light hitting. ‘The main bout, overshadowed in sentimental interest at least by the bat- tle of the former champions, added more impetus to the surge of the young German heavyweight, Max Schm-ling, who easily trounced Joe Sekyra, blonde Bohemian from Dayton.

CHICAGO, January 5.—What prom- ises to be one of the fastest and dizziest Big Ten basket ball championship races in years starts tonight with eight teams in_action on four fronts. Northwestern's Wildcats, who showed more class than any other Big Ten team during the preliminary season, tangles with Michigan's up-and-coming team at Ann Arbor; Illinois invades Purdue; Ohio State invades Towa, and Wisconsin clashes with Minnesota at Minneapolis. Only Indiana, co-champion with Pur- die last year, and Chicago do not start their champlonship campaigns tonight. Indiana will rest, while Chicago will close its preliminary program by meet- ing the Butler Bulldogs. ‘To those who have been attempting to pick a winner, the championsiilp race uppears to be a toss-up. Every team, with the possible exception of Chicago, Ohio State and Minnesota, are regarded as contenders. Minnesota, which hasn't won the cage title since 1919, got off to a poor start, but came back to win three straight. Ohio State has been far from impressive, while Chicago lost much valuable time and experience be- cause of the influenza wave, which closed the Midway School for three weeks, While Indiana has had a poor pre- liminary season, the Hoosiers were be- lieved to be very much in the race. Losing two and winning two games, they scored less points than their oppo- nents, but they have a habit of coming back to win titles, ; Northwestern, Illinois and Wisconsin were the only three members of the mwl Ten team to come through undefeated ! in ;he practice schedule and appear good. On the basis of past performances, however, Purdue, Indiana, Wisconsin, Northwestern and Towa appear to have | tie best chances of landing on or near | the pinnacle. Michigan also has been ! improving rapidly and is feared as much | or more than any other team. i Survey of statistics of the preliminary season reveals Northwestern hung up the best record, piling up 124 points to 75 for its opponents, Wabash, Pitts- burgh, Notre Dame and Penn State.; Ohio State had the poorest record, 10s. ing two out of four games and scoring 112 points to its opponents’ 123. i HIGH SCHOOL FIVES ARE PLAYING TODAY | Central and Western and Eastern and Tech were to meet early today, in Catho- | 1liz University gymnasium in the open- : ing matches of the public high cham- ¢ pionship basket ball series. | The games originally were scheduled | for the Tech High gym for yesterday, but shifted to C.
