Captures Game. BY PAUL ZIMMERMAN, Associatgd Press Sports Writer. ASADENA, Calif., December 27.—Coach Orin “Babe” Hollingbery today burned every bridge of alibi behind himself and the Washington State team which meets Alabama in the New Year day classic here. Not that the Cougars ever expected th:y would need to resort to explana- tions, for nothing except victory is contemplated. Their mentor has gone out of his way to destroy all possible avenues of retreat, should defeat come. “I am not losing any sleep,” he sald this morning, “over the physical or mental condition of my players. Their confidence has not been shaken by pre- vailing. odds Treported in favor of Alabama.” Weather conditions, he said, will make no difference. “My team is becoming thoroughly acclimated. This weather is the same we had to_cope with when practice opened last Fall.” Constant warming up of pass recelv- ers and senders in previous sessions creates the belief Washinfton State may shower a barrage over the Crimson Tide January 1. Coach Wallace Wade also contem- plates &' morning workout, in order to allow his team to take a peek gt Notge Dame’s stars of 1929 and 1930 in action at a charity game. ‘The Tide also worked on passes yes: terday. Then the Southern gentlemen snapped through a dummy scrimmage which caused their coach to feel that at last they had shaken off the effects of their cross country jaunt. He has been giving his kickers overtime duty both on punting and place kicking, with John “Hurry” Cain holding the top |5 honors. Alabama probably will not work out Sunday, but will put on the finishing 4 Monday l?-nud ‘Tuesday between t-seeing excursions. ‘While the ticket sale picked up sharp- 1y after Christmas, it is doubtful if the 85,000 seats for the game will be com- pletely sold out.

DEMPSEY GRABBING MONEY AS REFEREE Airplanes in Order to Keep Engagements. By the Assoclated Press. EW YORK, December 27.—Jack Dempsey has stepped back into the limelight of heavyweight boxing—but not as a fighter. The Yormer champlon, although criti- cizing the current crop of heavyweights because “the one that ought to fight " again refused to say yes or no in reply to questions concern- ing & return to the ring when he came back to New York after a long absence. Dempsey is concerned principally with two businesses now, promoting fights and acting as “guest referee,” and his Ppresent visit has to do with the former task. Soon after his arrival he was closeted with Willilam F. Carey for & conference that was understood to con- cern a possible hook-up for a heavy- weight battle at Miami, but no an- nouncement was forthcoming. Looking heavier than ever and with & lot of excess flesh around his jowls, Dempsey dodged to the customary ques- tion as to whether he would fight again with “you never can tell.” He spoke volubly on his experiences and profits as a “flying referee.” His engagements are so numerous that he has to use airplanes to get from one to another, And they are so remunerative that he would have to give up 30 en- ments and about $100,000 in fees 4 should agree to help t::e M;g::on uare Garden emen! a Sl oo Rsmagement romele & also has other advantages in addition to the customary stipend of $2,500 or more. +‘You never have to get sewed up afterward,” Jack explained. “It's nice to stay in a ring without being punched around. Of course, there is a lot of bother connected with it, too. You have to be taken around and be intro- duced everywhere and you stay up half the night being entertained. -It's tough on me because you know I always liked to hit the hay early.” Dempsey had a few additions to make to the suggested program of a February bout between Jack Sharkey and Young Stribling to clear up the muddled heavyweight. championship situation. He proposed adding Primo Carnera in a three-way elimination series, the winner to meet max Schmel- ing for the title, and added that he would like to make a bid of his own to hold the series in Chicago.

FLYWEIGHT TITLE - STILL INDRPUTE Unique Situation Arises _as Genaro and Wolgast Put on Listless Draw. By the Assoclated Press. EW YORK, December 27.—A situation unique in the annals of boxing has arisen from the flasco which was an attempt to settle the flyweight title dispute be- tween Midget Wolgast and Frankie Genaro. Genaro still is recognized as cham- plon by the National Boxing Associa- tion, arbiter of champlons for 26 States, while Wolgast still is privileged to wear the crown in New York and Pennsylvania. For the meeting of these, two title claimants produced only & dull 15-round draw. A half-hearted exhibition, which produced only rare spurts of interest- ing fighting, failed to strengthen the claim of either of the little fellows, while & record of the cheers and booes emitted by the crowd of 6,000 which paid $20,000 into the Madison Square Garden box office last night was strong- ly on the side of the expressions of disapproval. About one-fourth of the audience left before the finish, Not until the last three rounds did Wolgast and Genaro show any signs of their best form, as they fought a defensive battle. After a warning by Referee Patsy Haley, the veteran Genaro made a gallant attempt to start a fight in the closing rounds and Wol- gast met him on about even terms despite a closed left eye. Wolgast was exceedingly cautious at the start, espe- cially after he ran into the right-hand | P wallop in the second round that closed his eye, and Genaro seemed to have lost & lot of stamina in his 10 years of milling and could not set the pace. ‘The exhibition was, K so uninspiring that even the officials could not agree on how to award the points for a de- cision. One judge, Harold Barnes, the er, Tommy bad job Referee Haley gave it up as a jol and called it a draw. According to the Associated Press score sheet, Genaro'’s closing spurt gave him a slight margin. He was awarded six rounds to Wol- gast's five. Four were called even. Genaro weighed 111 pounds, Wol- gast 111%. GRIDDER WEDS CO-ED Iowa Wesleyan Student Is Bride of Reedquist of Hawkeyes. DES MOIN] Iowa, December 27 (). —Lawrence A.

McCarter of the Indian Spring Golf Club Golf Committee is a fore- handed gent. ‘Time does not lag for him, for he literally takes time by the forelock and has his decision made for him by his fellow members months before a decision is to be an- nounced. Just now McCarter is asking 'the members of the big club out on the Colesville Pike to ballot on the question of 'whether the club shall hold an invi- tation tournament in 1931, and the answers are rolling in. On the result of the vote will hinge the question of whether Indian Spring will ask for a tournament date at the annual meeting of the District Golf Assoclation in March next year. In putting the ques- tion squarely up to the members, McCarter is following the lead of Guy Mason, chairman of the Congressional Golf Committee, who adopted the same method of ascertaining the sentiments of his fellow golfers regarding the Con- gressional invitation tourney last year, The word is getting around that both the Indian Spring and Congressional event will be passed up next year as they were this year, leaving blank dates on the tournament calendar where two of the most popular events of the sea- son have been in past years. Reasons given for the cancellation of the two tournaments are similar. Both clubs have announced they believe in spend- ing their own money for their own members, in other words, spreading the morey which would be available for an invitation tournament around to buy prizes for purely club affairs. But what of the members of Congressional and Indian Spring who play in the invitation tournaments of other clubs and have no chance to return the hospitality? Manor is to hold an inyitation tourney next Fall. That has been de- cided upon by the club Golf Commit~ tee, which has announced a program of holding the annual invitation event every two years in order that interest in the event may be maintained at the ak. And Bannockburn probably will hold its Fall invitation event next year, Stribling Rated As Leading Heavy EW YORK, December 27 (#).— W. L.

Stribling, who was given first rank by 35 of the critics, made the most progress during the year, gaining 335 points. Sharkey was given 18 first- place ballots, and Schmeling 10. ‘Three of last year’s first 10—=Scott, Von_ Porat and Paulino—failed to finish “in the money” this year, their places being taken by Carnera, the man-mountain from Italy, who was ranked fourth; Baer and Risko. ‘The ratings were Stribling, 647 (of a possible 700); Sharkey, Schmeling, 548; Carnera, 351; Gi fiths, 273; Godfrey, 206; Campolo, 167; Loughran, 160; Baer, 145, and Risko, 94.

Al Fischer, former national singles champion, got in the one big punch of the night when he finished his set with with a game of 178, a record for the 3-year-old tournament. His five-game total of 614 isn't likely to place him high among the prize winners, but there was more than ordinary satisfaction for Al in the creditable performance, for it was in the nature of a comeback. ex-singles champion of the National Duckpin Bowling Congress virtually abandoned the sport last year and has bowled little this season. 3 Fischer’s big gam: strikingly demons strated the uncertainty of duckpins. Although hitting the sticks quite as wel in the two strings immediately preced ing, his scores were only 97 and 99. spare in the first frame of the final got him started on a sensational streak. To complile the big score he made nine marks, including a double-header and slm strike. The lone flat box was the o1 'ONIGHT will find several more stars banging away, notably amon them one of the most colorful of all—Joe Toomey. The pinboys on drives Nos. 9 and 10, where Toomey is sched- uled, are in for an exciting time. When Joe cuts loose with his famous smoke ball the man in the pit is a bad risk for life insurance. Not so formidable as a few years ago, but still dangerous, and particularly on the Coliseum drives, is Perce Ellett, scheduled tonight on Nos. 1 and 2. El- lett has rolled some mighty scores at um, None of them sport exceptional aver~ ages, but no group of bowlers has more ginger and genuine sport spirit than the Western Union folk, who will pre« dominate. among tonight's shooters: About 40 will be in the delegation. : T was remindful of old times at th the Palace and Grand Central llk’!: when Harry Krauss, Ray Chapin, Eddie Howser and Arthur Urban lined up on the same drives. A large volume could be written about the acl - ments of that quartet, but it wouldn'® include much about last night's per- formances. Krauss got away to a promising start with a game of 125 but it was only a flash of the prowess of old of the man who once was king of the world and a prince in the realm of tenpins, Harry's set was 504. 3 It was a s le for Chapin all the way, the big fellow’s slant curve lacking much of the “stuff” t ene abled him to shoot two consecutivé league sets of 434 in the days when any score better than 400 was a Sensatiom: Ray’s 458 for five strings last night was the t score he ever turned in. ! and shot 139 and again in the f¢ when he gathered 128, but his mu% 567 was worthless. 5 Howser, , for & bowler who has been on the mapleways as little as he in recens years, was a distinct surprise. His set 14 | of 583, with a top gams of 132, would have been creditable to any bowler, Another veteran who showed to advantage was Pop Michaud, one of tl onuxgfl duckpin shooters, whose sef ‘was . t Nobody was close to Fischer, the next best score being Howser's 583. Next came C. M. Mears and C. F. Haverty, each with 579; Chet Lindstrom, 575; Michaud, 571, and G. H. Warthen, 570, 'LOYD MONTGOMERY, a Book of Washington bowler, was far above the avirage with a set of 566 but he stood out in the pack for another reason. Monty wore rubbers! If any other bowler in this city ever performed thus shod none of the olds timers present could recall him, * Helena Kohler went to the front' iy the women’s division with a set of 309, She alone beat 300. Her score isn't ¢ | likely to gain a prize. .
