NIVERSITY OF MARY- LAND may hold an ama- teur boxing tournament for the championship of the United States, east of the Mississippi River, late this Win- ter. The project has gone farther than the preliminary stages, hav- ing been taken up informally with representatives of the Boxing Committee of the Amateur Ath- letic Union. These oificials have been quietly working on the mat- ter since last Fall, and recent- ly advised the Maryland authori- ties that the situation seemed very favorable hether or not the tournament is to be held depends entirely on whether or ot the best fighters are tied up by en- tries in various local championship tournaments. It seems that nearly the whole of the American team that rep- resented this country in Europe last Summer are available, and it is said that four or five of the stars of the Cleveland-Chicago area are ready to take part.

FIVE-WAY tie at two wins and two losses apiece at the end of the first series, January 22, again lcomed today as a very real possibility in the public high school championship basket ball series.

There is no hall in the East, except ad %mmn Palaestra, as suitable for a boxing tournament as the building to be dedicated at the University of Mary- land a week from tonight with a basket ball game with Navy. It is in this build- | ing that the tournament, if plans for it mature, will be held. | ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY and Amer- | jcan University are playing on their home floors tomorrow night, being | scheduled to meet the St. Joseph's bas- | keters of Philadelphia and St. John's | of Annapolis. Both games probably will | be well contested, with the chances that | a good deal of fire may fly in the Amer- ican U.-St. John's affair. St. John’s is | coming here with an exceptionally good team, on which McCartee, praised by Coach Artie Boyd of Tech High as the greatest high school basket ball player | he had ever seen, is playing a stellar | role. And, inasmuch as American U. | has a strong five, the contest ought to | be at least a little more than interest- | ing. McCartee while at Tech High-was | picked as the best scholastic player in | the District. HE University of Wisconsin next Winter will return Marvland's visit to Madison last month, hav- ing informed the Old Liners that it | can come here either on December 21 or 22. This will cause the game to be | scheduled at a time when the uni- versity 1s closed for tre Christmas holi- | days, but it still may be seen by a good | many students, as perhaps 60 per cent of the entire student body lives within | a radius of 35 miles. Wisconsin has | for years stood at or near the top of the Western Conference in basket ball, and the system of play developed there | has been carried through coaches al- most as far and wide as the Notre Dame methods in foot ball. Dr. Wal- ter Meanwell, coach of Wisconsin, spends practically all his Summer vaca- | tion teaching basket ball in _several Summer schools of physical education in various sections of the country, mostly in the Middle and Far West Whatever it may do during the re- mainder of the season, Maryland took an awful jolt on the jaw from Loyola | at College Park night before last. The Old Liners underestimated the strength of the Baltimoreans and started to play 8 type of basket ball with which th were not any too familiar. Maryland apparently had a better team than Loyola, but just did not seem able to pull together sufficiently to get a winning number of points. With a championship team back inta some excellent material from I freshman five, Maryland has lost first two games by a total margin of three points. Tre team, despite its two defeats, should give a good account of itself later. T the meeting of the Southern Con- ference in December the maxi- mum fee for foot ball officials was get at $50 instead of the $75 at which it has stood for several years. Nat urally this has not come as very wel- come news to officials and to many members of the conference it was not thought to be & wise action. It is un- derstood that the matter will b brought up at the meeting of the Exec- utive Committee of onference in Atlanta the last of what will happen other question, as ginia Polytechnic the new regulation of the conference and position in the dispositi proposed is president a_powerful of a ques- tion that must be handled as this must | be if it is to be changed HILE there is some feeling that foot ball coaches always are of the opinion that officials are wrong a give them raw deals more than once actually the statistics of Southern Con- ference games last Fall shows the con- trary. The Southern Conference sup- ports its own board of officials and of these officials the coaches are expected to make a report to the central boc ing office after each game. Statistic: kept at that office show that of the 138 games on which reports were made, in only 10 was the officiating classed as poor. In 20 games it was marked as excellent, in 60 games as very good, in 21 as good, in 15 as satisfactory. of the 23 coaches in the Southern Confer- ence, 13 coaches sent in reports that their officiating for the year was very good, three that it was good, two that it was satisfactory, and three that it was falr. Two coaches did not report Incidentally, the distributing of pen- mmies is rather interesting. Naturally, sfiside penalties led with it called 542 times. There were 248 holding viol tions, 30 for clipping, 112 for roughnoss, 45 for piling on, 21 for unsportsman- like conduct, 176 for men in mo when the ball was snapped, 42 for il- legal shift, 87 for delaying the game and 107 for miscellancous fouls The rather remarkable part of t report is the number of penaliies called for rough play. With 112 for roughness, 30 for clipping and 45 for piling on, all of which come under the | general head of rough work, it means that there must have been a good deal more rough work going on than there should have been.

As a result Eastern now is heading the race, with Central, Tech and Busi- ness all tied for second and Western trailing. BY terday was the Business-Eastern clash. The Central-Tech tilt lacked a punch, as the Gray's superiority was marked all the way. Using a somewhat changed line-up, Tech appeared to better advantage than against Business. Business gave the bigger Eastern com- bination a rousing fight from the start. Led by Carroll Shore, a rugged youngster who'knows how to take care of himself on the céurt, the Stenogs gave Eastern as good.as it sent in the first half, which ended 15-all. Shore put his team slightly ahead again at the start of the second half with some accurate shooting, but then Barmey Kane, lightning-fast Eastern forward, pulled three of the one-hand shots for which he is well known, to give the Lincoln Parkers the lead at 21-18. Eastern stayed ahead thereafter, though it was a real struggle tight down far the most interesting game yes- ‘to the closing second. SING a somewhat different line-up, Tech appeared to much better advantage against Central than against Business last Friday. Central, {unmable to penetrate the Tech zone de- fense, was forced to do most of its shooting from a distance and was rot fo accurate. Bill Burke and Gene Swift. usually dependable in a scoring way, were inconsistent. It was not until nearly the second quarter was more than half over that Bits Keyser got Central's first floor goal. Meanwhile all hands were taking part in Tech's offense with Knocky Thomas, Bernie Reichhardt and Wav- erly Wheeler showing particularly keen eyes. Everett Russell shifted to guard from forward, exhibited a rattling good floor game and also caged & couple of goals from scrimmage. Central (15) Burke, .. 8m | Olverson, Thi omas, C. Nau, &.

BY TOM DOERER: that when the final gong twanged the Midge ran to his rival's corner and told him that he had never met a fighter who could clip so hard with his right hand. Yet the Mid- get never felt the full sting of Billy's right-hand pokes because, well, for the simple reason that there was no sense in so doing. But he knew by the whish that came behind those sailor_cracks that had he walked into them his prestige would have been slightly plugged today. There wasn't a complaint from the nearly 2,500 more or less cash custom- ers as Regeree-Judge-and-Jury Charlie Short ra#>d the arm of the half-pint skirmisher as a gesfure of victory. The Midge got his blasting in the early part of the fight from the customers who have never seen him in action. They felt that he was prancing around the homebred because he feared the lat- | ter’s right hand. But when the feeling was picked up by the champion he cut loose for_several rounds, and to this moment Billy will never be able to tell you where all of the gloves were coming from. But the champ was in a benev- olent mood. The flurries of jabbing and right-crossing he dispiayed in flashes are constant with him in titular fights. He never lets up, so annoying a scrapper that his op- ponent feels that it is hopeless to try to reach him. Frankie Mann’s entire card was one of action from the first bout on. His talent gave more action than I have ever seen any night in New York other than that hectic evening when Dead Pan Louie Firpo pushed the Man Maul- er from Manassa out of the ring in the Polo Grounds. And, singularly, the decisions given by the referee, a new departure here, were cheered. Which, if not one for Boby Ripley, ought to be. Smack out of the box Short won the crowd when he called Lynn King a winner over Kid Benfer of Allentown in the opening four-rounder. But he had a_tough assignment on his hands when he had to pick a win- ner in the Bobby Burns, Tommy Bashara conflict. naming Burns after eight rounds of the roughest sort of going. Sharp box- ing on the part of Bobby pulled him through, * although_his Norfolk _rival was smothering a lot of the Baltimore boy's punches. It was an Interesting scrap, with both boys using everything but the water buckets and Jack Tul- loch's hat. Billy Read and Soldler Shasburger, a pair of oversized featherweights, gave four rounds of punch and sock, with the former getting Short's nod because of his boxing ability. Marino Marini and Loule Guglimini, junior lightweights, were paired in another swift-moving four-rounder, with Ma- rino outpunching Loule. The latter tried to clown his way to victory, but it failed, although h~ should have been awarded something or other for being in there, because when I tell you that I watched Louie clouting '&n over 10 years ago it is the truth.

BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, January 13.— Harvard's decision to go right ahead with all inter- collegiate and intramural athletics in spite of a $200,000 re- duction in receipts this year was not surprising. Harvard’s stadium and all items of her athletic plant are paid for and she can well af- ford this practical gesture of car- rying on with head unbowed by the financial depression. But what about such an institution as Kansas, which owes money on its stadium and where attendance at foot ball games last Fall dropped almost to nothing? Aside from finances, the situation at Kansas is not good and there is a feeling that conditions were not all expased in the findings in the Bausch case last year. Handbills issued by stu- dents and addressed to Gov. Woodring asking for a radical change in the per- sonnel of the athletic directorate, as well as the dismissal of Chancellor Lindley, have not as yet brought re- sults. At least the Governor has not met the request for a hearing at which the student authors of the handbill prom- ised to appear in support of their de- mands for a change. Missouri Coach Mistreated. Those who know Gwinn Henry of Missouri, who respect him as a man and appreciate his ability as a coach, will sympathize with him in his pres- ent troubles, among which was the re- fusal of the players to give him a vote of confidence after he had been at- tacked in the student daily. The fact is Henry schould have been in bed instead of on the foot ball grid- iron last season. He suffered from an infection complicated by neuritis when practice opened. It pained him sharply even to walk. Yet he stayed with his team until early November, when he was forced into a hospital. All of which gives a picture of the other side of foot ball coaching. Additional turmoil in the Missouri Valley is caused by the fulminations of the undergraduate daily at Lincoln, the Nebraskan. The inspiration seems to have been the Columbia Spectator. At all events foot ball is being exposed as a huge advertising scheme for the uni- versity. Students, it is asserted, are being dragooned into attending “puerile and idiotic” foot ball rallies and to making assininely noisy automatons of | themselves in the stands. Aftermath of the meeting of coaches and athletic directors in New York re- lates chiefly to a rumor that Harvard had offered Princeton a November 7 foot ball date in an effort to lead the way to a patching up of the break in the “big three” and that the Tigers had declined. The fact is that no such date was offered, and the fact also is that until Harvard_agrees to a rotating schedule among Yale, Harvard and Princeton there will be no foot ball games between old Nassau and the Crimson. And Har- vard will never agree to such an arrangement so long as President Lowell occupies the throne at Cam- bridge, and may never agree, no mate ter who is president. ° In the meantime both Harvard and Princeten athletic authorities depre- cate—in fact, resent—public belief that the break involves a feud between the two old universities. No feud exists. Not even bad feeling is indicated be- tween either the undergraduates or the athletic authorities. The foot ball break was characterized by dignity— officially, at least. There is not, and never has been, rancor between the athletic authorities of the two universi- ties.
