CARNERA TO SHOW RING WARES SOON 280-Pound Boxer Will Get Trial in New York—Is Not Well Known. BY WALTER TRUMBULL. HERE is an apparently well founded belief that a man can be too big to be a fighting heavyweight. After he grows to a certain weight and height, there usually appears to be sometihng lackirsy in him as a fighter. Willard had everything except fight- ing spirit. He stocd 6 feet, 7 inches. He weighed 240 pounds. -He could hit and he could box. But he didn't like to fight. Had he been possessed of the spirit of little Terry McGovern, he might have been champion still. Dempsey, in talking of Willard, once said to me: “T looked at him when we got in the ring and he_seemed enormous. I told myself that I could beat him if I could hurt him, but he was so big that I wondered if anybody could hurt him. 1 put all I had into that first punch and when I saw he felt it, I knew I had the fight won.” Fred Fulton was a glent, but a feeble fighter. Palzer was a pig man with plenty of courage, but slow mentally and Physically. Campolo has size, but knows little about fighting. Wills never was & great fighter. Dempsey Ideal Fighter. Dempsey stands a bit over six feet. In his early days; when he weighed in the neighborhood of 190 pounds, he was as fast as a lightweight and could hit like a 6-inch shell. Combine these ualities with the heart of a lion, the hting frenzy of a wounded tiger and an ability to take punishment, then you have the ideal fighting man. ‘Tunney, a great champion, was still lighter. Tunney's cold, efficient style was based on science, although he could hit and was one of the hardest men in the ring to hurt. His method resembled that of the bull fighter, or the fencer—and the point of the sword, properly used, will kill just as surely, and more neatly, than the chopping blade. ‘But now some followers of the game have discovered an Italian giant they say is a real fighter. His name is Primo Carnera and he is soon to come to this country, where he will appear as a con-=sfant at Madison Square Ganden ip New York. Carnerg is as tall as Jess Willard, but is sald to have & better build. He weighs something about 280. He is re- g:ned to be fast, a fair boxer and to able to hit harder than a mule kicks., Too Soon to Judge. This Italian giant has a good record abroad and he may be as good as he 15 said to be, but it’s too soon to judge. I am content to wait until he has fought some of the better and more ex- perienced heavyweights. I do not doubt the power of his fists. What I wish to know is the strength of his heart and his chin. Carnera’s first appearance in this country will be in a preliminary to the Von Porat-Scott bout in New York. As the result of this Von Porat-Scott con- test may have some bearing on picking an opponent for Sharkey at Miami, this particular meeting will be doubly in- teresting. Von ' Porat has & hard enough punch to knock anybody out, but the question always is whether he can land it. If Von Porat were a bit more aggres- sive he would be the best looking young heavy in the country. Some say that if he were more aggressive he probably would get knocked out. This doesn’t seem altogether reasonable. Otto certainly has one of those long chins which are seldom guaranteed to stand much rapping, but Christner hit him on the chin and Christner packs a unch. orat will It doesn't appear that Von be in any great danger of being rocked to sleep by Scott. What Scott supposedly will do is to keep out of Otto’s way and try to left-hand him dizzy. Griffiths in Line. Another candidate for the Miami match is Tuffy Griffiths. Tuffy is quite a fighter and, if he shows well against Paulino, will deserve consideration. Ernle Shaaf doesn’t look quite as prom- ising as he did. Some say that he is a bit muscle bound, while others declare that he is a bit slow above the ears. The truth of the matter is that the boy 1s so young that he probably hasn't at- tained his full eficiency. He has I)lenty of time for improvement and, if they don’t burn him out, may still be contender. (Copyright, 1929. by North American News- paper Alliance.) Ingram Deception May Fool Little When Lou Little's Georgetown eleven journeys to Annapolis this afternoon for its annual contest with the Navy there won't be any soft jobs on defense for the George- town backs, Take this running pass play as an example. Navy back No. 4 swings back and wide to the right and gets the ball while in motion. As it is snapped to him, end No. 5 breaks down field and turns in while wing back No. 2 streaks straight down fleld. These two men have to be covered. Looks like they’ll take all the available Georgetown backs with them and away from the defensive area to the right. Note how end No. 6 comes around and rushes into this vacated area. As passer No. 4 is protected by his two backs it's no trouble at all for him to shoot the ball to No. 6. If the latter is not covered by some other player than is usually assigned to him he's off for a long run and possibly a score, GOLF FiNAL IS CLOSE. i OTHER GAMES.

Before that he coached at West Virginia, and back in 1915 he was all-Amer- ica guard at Dartmouth. And what a guard he was!” *“ greatest linesman who ever wore the green,” is the concensus of opinion on Fat Spears. His strength was prodigious, his speed astounding and his in- stinct for diagnosing plays uncanny. In contrast to Spears was little Spud Pishon (1908-09), who weighed 16 pounds less than Albie Booth, the present-day Yale sensation. Spud HE sensational playing of Al Marsters of Dartmouth this season recalls other gridiron greats who have worn the green of the Hanover, N. H., institution. The little college in the White Mountains produced many foot ball stars before Alton K. Mar- sters blazed his way across the sports horizon, and a team composed of the greatest players of all time from Dartmouth would hold its own with any all-star team from any other college or university. The White Indians of the former mis- sionary school founded by Eleazar ‘Wheelock are guileful, rugged and fast and fight as their red-skinned namesakes used to do when their THE SPORTLIGHT BY GRANTLAND RICE The Day’s Round-Up. ARMY-ILLINOIS—At Urbana. I know that Dr. Zuppke's dream Is set to trim an Eastern team, And when the East comes to the test To grapple with the corn-fed West, The good old Doctor, keen and gruff, Always prepares to shoot his stuff; But he may catch some merryell From Mister Cagle or Murrel. The Illini defense is keen Along Urbana’s stretch of green, But I believe the Army has A chance to play the Cagle jazz. HARVARD-MICHIGAN—At Ann Arbor. The Crimson has a husky bunch To show the Maize and Blue That old John Harvard has the punch That ought to carry through; And if the Cambridge team can save A slump from coming down, 1 think that Crimson flags will wave Above Ann Arbor town. Though Michigan has had a chance To rest from warfare’s brunt, 1 still think Harvard should advance Along the Western front. IOWA-MINNESOTA—At Towa City. This battle ought to be immense In sizing up the Conference; Though Minnesota has a team 0f which so many coaches dream, Jowa is no cream-puf] crew For any team to wander through. If Minnesota’s dream comes true, She ought to tie with old Purdue; But with Towa grim and set, It ought to be an even bet. N. Y. U.-GEORGIA—At New York. I think that Georgia’s early pace Has hurt for the November race; The Red and Black spun out too fast For any foot ball-team to last; Yet N. Y. U. has had its share, Of dandruff end of falling hair; You can't lose Lassman, Hill and Strong And still punch that old pill along; 1 don’t know who'll win this pell-mell, And if I did I might not tell. | PITTSBURGH-W. & J.—At Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh should canter on its way And take this game upon the bound, But if Jap Douds is fit to play A lot of backs will hit the ground; They won’t get up and start to flit, For when Douds hits 'em—they stay hit! COLUMBIA-COLGATE—At New York. Columbia’s hopes are none too sour Amid the cheering din, But Colgate’s teem _has too much power, And Colgate ought to win. | VANDERBILT-GEORGIA TECH—At Nashville, At least half way up to the hilt The big thrust goes to Vanderbiit. Yes, this time Maryland will fail To slip one over on old Yale; And Nassauw's Tiger ought to range Above old Lehigh, for a change. I don’t think Baylor can defeat The Tezas Longhorns when they meet; The Fordham-Boston College mill 1Is anybody’s battle still. So is the Navy-Georgetown drill, And if there's any choice to spare, 1 like the Navy by a hair; Dartmouth should slip one over Brown, PINEHURST, N. C., November 9 (). —Edmond A.

Like Hobey Baker of Princeton, Pishon lost his life while in the Air Service in France. Big Andy Oberlander, “the ter- rible Swede,” and Dartmouth’s most famous player of recent years ex- cept Marsters, was not only one of the most accurate long-range for- ‘ward passers of all time, but he was a rip-slashing fullback as well. Be- sides that, he was a bear on defense and a magnificent punter. His team ran up 141 points against Harvard, Brown, Cornell and Chicago.

Hip Slide Pose By Cooper, Jones BY .SOL METZGER. ‘While golfers differ in the way they take back their clubs, the dominant idea in hitting is to sweep the clubhead through the ball and on out toward the hole. In short, they force the clubhead to pass through the ball on a straight line while its face is at right angles to that line. ‘To make this possible the hips must slide laterally to the left with the swing and on a line paralleling the direction line. Unless the hips 80 act it is almost impossible to hit COOPER JONES 3 THESE. w0 POINTS OF OOWNSWING THE. WPS SLIDE, LATERALLY AND PARALLEL. O LINE. OF FLIGHT straight through the ball. Why? Swing through without the hips so sliding you will either hit in the wrong direction or either slice or pull the ball. But slide the hips, as do Cooper and Jones, and you do guide the club straight through the ball and on the direction line. ur right shoulder comes under and orces the clubhead to follow after the ball, bécause of a straight right arm doing the hitting here you are bound to hit the ball straight. = AND.

The latter is now heavyweight wrestling champion and has prought foot ball tactics into the ring with much success. But what a trio! Youngstrom was all- America in 1919, and blocking F‘un(s was his specialty. Cunning- am ranked just below Hooper as Dartmouth’s greatest center. These three big bruisers always roomed to- gether on foot ball trips, and many are the tales told about them on and off the field! A. A. U. TITLE GAMES PASSED UP BY COAST NEW YORK, November 9 (#)—The Southern Pacific Assoclation of the Amateur Athletic Union has withdrawn its application for the national A. A. U. track and field championships for 1930. The coast assoclation’s formal appli- cation was to have been acted upon at the A. A. U. convention at St. Louis November 17, 18 and 19. The Coliseum at Los Angeles, in which the championships were to be held, is to undergo alterations for the Olympic games in 1932 and the work, which has just started, will not be completed for at least nine months. ‘The withdrawal of Los Angeles leaves the field open for the 1930 champion- ships. Lincoln, Nebr, and Cleveland, Ohio, already are in the field for the 1931 event. PLAY BEING CONTINUED IN TITLE CUE TOURNEY Play was to be resumed this after- noon and will continue tonight in the annual District pocket billiards cham- pionship tournament at the Arcadia. In matches yesterday Harry Dunn de- feated Willlam Heath, 75 to 71, and Peter Larabee showed the way to M. Levy, 75 to 68. FINE PLAYING DONE BY AMERICAN TRID, Outhit, Outfield Pick of Old Circuit—Ruth, Klein Chosen as Subs. U same story—show that the all- star outfield in the American League would bs composed of Al Sim- mons of Philadelphia, Heinie Manush of St. Louis and Bob Fothergill of De- troit. Babe Ruth would serve as a sub- stitute, unless one is so particular as to insist that he be a regular on the all-star outfield because he has played 20 more games than Fothergill As a matter of fact, there is no reason to think that Fothergill's batting aver- age would have suffered any had he layed in more games. He is not that ind of a batter. The farther he goes the better he is. He has grit and de- termination. More Than Homers Needed. Of course, to set against that, Babe Ruth hits many home runs; but after all they will not win games unless there are other factors to help out. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. NOFFICIAL batting averages— and it is a safe bet that the official averages will tells the In the National Lecague, by the same | 3¢ process, the all-star outfield would be mad> up of Babe Herman of Brooklyn, Riggs Stephenson of Chicago and Kiki Cuyler, also of the Cubs. The average of the American League trio runs about .371 combined and that of the Na- tional League boys, about .367. On the National League all-star out- fleld, Chuck XKlein of Philadelphia might be retained as substitute, to serve as the home-run hitter for the National League, as Babe Ruth is for the American League. The utility men balance fairly well. A. L. Fielders Better. When it come to fielding, the Ameri- can League all-star trio are better than the National League outfit. Manush has a weakness for long drives, and Pothergill, bulky as he is, can cover the ground ably. The combined value of Simmons, Manush eand Fothergill is around $200.- 000. They might even bring more. This is a better price, however, than would be paid for the National League out- field. Cuyler is the best fielder of the Na- tional League trio. Herman is erratic. He is & fine batter, but his flelding and base running are grotesque. Stephen- son is a made-over inficlder who has improved wonderfully and does well. His weakness is his inability to back up for a long hit, as a natural out- flelder does, It hurt him in the world serfes. A fast, sure man would have held Jimmy Dykes' fly in that famous seventh jnning when the Athletics scored their 10 runs.

For the benefit of the Brentwood Hawks base ball team a dance will be held tonight in Blue Bird Hall, Mount Rainier, starting at 9 o'clock. STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE F all turns out as expected and all the boys are able to break away from the routine of tutoring flabby golf swings and explainihg the how and why of ‘pronating, that Mid- South open championship tournament next Tuesday and Wednesday at Pine- hurst will take on somewhat the ap- pearance of a local golf event. No fewer than nine professionals from If courses about Washington have en- red in the pro-pro best ball event which will usher in the major tourna- ment on Tuesday and the 36-hole affair for the Mid-South title on Wednesday. They all have been attracted to Pine- hurst by the fairly good purses hung up by Leonard Tufts and his merry men to go to the gents who shoot good golf over that tough No. 2 course down in the sandhill region of North Carolina. And some of the local pairs have bet- ter than a good chance of bringing home a man's s slice of the bacon. To begin with, there are Gene Lark, holder of the Maryland State open and the assistant’s championship, who will pair with his big boss and mentor—Bob Barnett—holder of the Middle Atlantic Professional Golfers' Association cham- plonship. Then there are Alex Ar- mour of Congressional and Sidney C. Moore, the brilliant assistant to Ar- mour in the Congressional golf shop, a pair that will take a lot of beating from any of the lads who try to master the intricacies of those sand greens at Pinehurst. And far from least and robably far from last will be Fred cLeod of Columbia, who has taken unto himself a real honest to goodness partner in the person of Bobby Cruick- shank of Purchase, N. Y. Cruickshank, who partnered Tommy Armour in 1927, has been playing great golf this year, and with a man of the caliber of Mc- Leod as a partner this pair should be far up in the running when the line forms at the pay-off window. Then there will be A, L. Houghton of the Hnrger Country Club, who shot a 68 in the second round of the North and pen last year for the best score of the day. Houghton will pair with ‘Walter Cunningham of Burning Tree in the best-ball event. Mel Shorey of East Potomac Park and Arthur B. Thorn of Town and Country will also be among those to make the trip. ‘Thorn, Shorey, Cunningham, Barnett, Larkin and Houghton are to drive to South o Pinehurst, and all will leave the Capital tomorrow, traveling by motor and by mi stages over the 346-mile route that to fl_ll Fall capital of golf in the Carolinas. McLeod, Armour and Moore will take the more conservative route by train, and all of them expect to be | ) back in the Capital by Friday. The pro-pro best ball event is a 36- | (s hole affair for pairs to be played on Tuesday. For this event a purse of $400 has been hung up for the winning combination, with smaller purses for those lower down on the winning list. ‘The Mid-South open at 36 holes medal play will be played on the following day in individual competition, and for this a purse of the same size has been hung up. Even though many of the accepted leaders in the pro ranks are in the far West, barely started on a 15,000-mile tour of the West and South Winter golf resorts, those who are left in the East will furnish plenty of com- petition, for among those who will com- pete at Pinehurst in addition to Cruickshank are Johnny Farrell and Gene Sarazen. Col. Charles B. Drake is the winner | of the Halloween Cup, the last event of the season for the members of the Senior Golf Association of the Chevy Chase Club. Winning his way into the final round by a 5 and 4 victory over Admiral R. H. Jackson, Col. Drake de- feated Dr. Willlam B. Mason in the ultimate round by 2 and 1. Members of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps Country Club have been asked to vote on a proposal to merge the service country club, located over in Arjington County, with the Army and Navy Club, which long bas been the rallying point for service officers in Washington.” At the same time the proposal for a merger, which has been indorsed by the officials of the country club, has been laid before the govern- ing board of the Army and Navy Club. From a strictly outside viewpoint, and | 8 knowing little "of the intricacles of financing and that necessarily must enter into any amalgamation, it would seem that such a merger would be a highly desirable thing for both clubs. Probably there are many arguments against it on both sides of the picture. But to the out- sider it would seem anomalous if the two clubs did not get together at least on a greens fee basis for golf purposes. ‘The Army, Navy and Marine Corps Country Club today is very much a going proposition, on a firm and one of the g_clubs about Capital within a decade, roperty transfers, mem- | Trin bership equivalents and other matters | De Soto ‘WAR DEPARTMENT LEAGUE.
