N around the possibility of Max Schmeling, heavy- weight champion, defending his title in Los Angeles in February against Mickey Walker, the toy bulldog, who has been biting the ankles of the big fellows. | William F. Carey, president of Madison | Square Garden and promoter of its box- ing business from the time Tex Rickard died until Jimmy Johnston stepped into the breach, cleared his throat and an- | nounced as follows: “If I have anything to say about that—and it'’s just possible I will— Madison Square Garden will promote no fight between Schmeling and Walker or any ome else in California this Winter.” Carey, able to sit and ruminate and think of his other businesses now that Johnston is gathering the forehead wrinkles and than}x:emnlches m“te‘r": the least aggravating of a promo Jot, warmed to his subject and started trampling up and down on the thick carpet of his luxurious office (8 say California is virgin ter- ritory, hasn't had a heavyweight cham) p fight in many years, think and they that'’s an advantage, don't they? Well, I'm going to tell you territory is the worst ter- e world for the promotion of s heavyweight title fight.

EW YORK, November 25.— The discussion centered | can be 3 ere are numbers, New York munity, ¢“QY comparison I would say Cali- B fornia is an inactive community as far as we are concerned. There are too many farmers there from Idaho and Illinois and other States who have saved $20,000 or $30,000, put their farms or business in the hands of sons or as- sociates and then have gone to live the rest of their days in the sunshine. They own small bungalows. They must live carefully. They don’t pay $25 to see a prize fight. “In all of Los Angeles, despite its population, I don't believe there arc 4,000 prospective customers for $25 ringside seats. Even if there-were, that’ wouldn’t be enough. “They ‘argue that there are neigh- boring States to draw frop. Nevada, New Mexico and so forth, but that’s another thing we learned at Cleveland. Never stage an attraction where the people you expect to patrgnize it must ride to the scene in passenger trains. ‘They won't do it. “WHY, T heard the story just the other day of the Yale alumni who always charter two special trains to go to Cambridge when the annual Harvard-Yale foot ball game is there. This year they thought they'd be able to do with one because of the depression. They canceled that one a few days before the game when they had only three reservations for space on it. Think of that!” As Mr. Carey paused to think asked where would fight, th l.n!'hm. ‘Mismi,” said Mr. Carey. “There is wealth there. The wealthy men who patronize Madison Square Garden all season go there for their holidays. | They'll come to the fight and buy ring- | side seats. “And another thing, if Jack Dempsey hts this Winter or any other time, remember this. He will fight for Madi- son Square QGarden just as he did in the days of Tex Ricl ard.” STRIBLING HURTS HAND Forced to Postpone December 3 Bont Listed With Schaaf.

Stanford is coming with the usual Far Western power, but Dartmouth is & team of surprises. The Green lost io Columbia, beat Cornell, scored 33 points on Yale and had Harvard hooked until & last 100-to-1-shot forward arrived. Penn has two of the best backs in the East to face at Pranklin Field to- morrow. Their names happen to be Ferraro and Viviano, one of the best backfield combinations in foot ball, East or West, North or South. Any one is entitled to name the best foot ball team in the country this sea- son, and any one else is equally en- titled to enter a rebuttal. And both will probably be wrong. Notre Dame and Yale, with strong had a total of 37 against them in the clos- minutes. That's foot ball. “Just a minute,” writes Texan. “Sup- Southern Methodist beats Texas Christian and then whips St. Mary's on December 5. St. Mary's beat South- ern California.

MAY be out of line to quote a few remarks from a personal letter, but anything for the good of the game should more than offset a slight im- propriety. Instead of any form of complaint, this is what Barry Wood, Harvard's gnptuln, has to say about Harvard’s de- eat: “Yale's Notre Dame defense had us pretty well bottled up. They played it perfectly and Adam Walsh did a great job with that line, especially the tackles. They outplayed us, even though our line was good. It was a good foot ball game in spite of the fact that both offenses looked bad. I'd like to say also that Alble did a great job.” Foot Ball Tips BY SOL METZGER. If you want to see line plunging executed flawlessly, journey to Phila- delphia tomorrow and watch Gil ie’s Cornell eleven smash Penn- sylvania’s forward wall. The Itha- cans rank as a top-heavy favorite because of such powerful plays as this off-tackle plunge by Bart Viviano. ‘The snap is to Viviano, the No. 3 back. He starts to his right, faking an end run in order to draw over the defensive backs. That accomplished, Bart changes his course of plunging between the opposing left guard and tackle. He isled by guard (5), who is fast in getting out of the line and whose objective is to cut down any defensive backs who are not already out of the way. The opposing line- men at the point of attack are double-teamed. Back (2) takes the defensive left end, back (4) cuts tnrough to take the defensive right half and the Cornejl center, after blocking the opposing right guara, slips through to_cut down the defensive fullback. b'romorraw-—-cornell'a famous fiip uck.

COCHE PLANN|NGiTOUR | Funds for Foot Ball Club Object of South American Trip in '32. PARIS, November 25 (#).—Henri Cochet, ace of the French Davis Cup tennis forces, is planning & South American tour following the finals of the 1932 cup matches. He will take a number of French players with him in an effort to raise funds for the Lyons Foot Ball Club, the first sporting organization to which Cochet became afliated. These few lines speak for themselves without need of further comment. Quarterback Play. SHORT while ago Tad Jones of- fered a comment which is 100 per cent true. “A great defense,” Tad remarked, “can make any quarterback look as if he had an off day. He may be calling the smartest plays he has called all year, but if the defense is strong enough to stop them, then the quarterback is unjustly criticized for not doing this or that or something else. If the rival line is getting through before the backs can start, and the rival pass defense is covering all re- celvers and hurrying the passer, you can see what a slim chance any quarter- back has to call ground-gaining plays.” Have you noticed how many good teams had big leads blown away in the last two quarters—or even the last quarter? This happened to Minnesota, Yale and Notre Dame just when the dream was getting rose-colored in three of their big contests. Tennessee’s last stand for 1931 will be against Kentucky tomorrow. So far Kentucky has dropped only one game— to Alabama by 2 points—so Tennessee's job isn’'t over yet. Alabama faces Vanderbilt in another big Southern test, with little to choose either way.

The new ball, authorized for use starting January 1 by the Executive Committee of the United States Golf Association, will be of the same size as the much malgned “balloon” pellet, but heavier.

The Royal and Ancient refused to consider the “ballooner,” saying that a light- weight ball was not suited to Britain's wind-swept courses. SCHOOL GRIDDER DIES.

STAN- OT to be outdone by college foot ball elevens, golfers rasslers and others working a little overtime for charity, the bowl- ers of the Building Contractors’ League came forth last night with a plan that will help swell the fund for the Dis- trict of Columbia Employment Com- mittee a little. In a meeting called last night at the Arcadia and presided over by President Arnold Romero, it was decided by the league captains to hold a sweepstakes on Wednesday, January 6, the proceeds to go to the jobless. While not a great amount can be | derived for the jobless from this sweep- stakes, Romero hopes to raise some- where around $150, which is nothing to_be sneezed at. There are 14 teams in the Building Contractors’ League and about seven players to a team, allowing two for substitutes. The entry fee will be $2 plus the cost of the three games. HARLIE Walson, Silver Spring's biggest and best big-league bowler, smacked over 432 duckpins last night in the Columbia Heights, but even this feat will not put him down as even a season record-holder, for some weeks Paul Harrison rolled 441 in the same loop. ‘Watson’s games were 157, 141 and 134. N the bowling boys begin to talk bout smooth, easy motions among the elite of the duck- gfilnners, the names of Howard Camp- 1l and Hokie Smith are heard often. But little is said of Earl McPhilomy and Charlie Walson. In the opinion of this not-to-expert observer Walson and McPhilomy go Campbell and Smith a shade better as far as motions go. They resemble each other closely while rolling. Each takes only a single step and shoots the ball down the alley with an almost effort- less motion. Walson is a much underrated bowler outside of those who have rolled against him. He doesn’t roll in either the District or National Capital Leagues, which probably is the reason why he so often is overlooked. But he does roll in the Columbia Heights and more than one star team gets skittish/| when it opposes the Ford Electric outfit, with which Walson has an average considerably over 120. His mark in the Bethesda League Iis over 118. If he enters the Times' Dixie Sweep- stakes more may be heard of him. with half ‘ 'OMORROW is a day of rest for most :mue bowlers, who can tackle ey without fear of being out of shape for the evening’s set, but who, in reality, may both eat and roll.

As usual the Columbians won three games, this time from the tail-end Car- dinals. Shamrocks and Beeques, run- ning second and third, however, kept pace with three-game wins over Vet- erans’ Bureau and University Park, while the Keenos managed to take two from the Hilltoppers.
