Wwith one-half of one or more sure-fire lightweight | battles any time Ahearn says the word. More of Norment Quarles, pitted | #gainst more formidable opposition, was the demand of the Riding and Hunt Club clientele which witnessed | the debut of the highly touted ex- North Carolina University's boy last right and found advance reports of the youngster not exaggerated. Quarles, now a full-fledged pro with half a dozen moneyed scraps beneath his belt, proved the class of the card by trouncing rugged Calvin Calp of Bal- timore. o That Quarles did not score a kayo over Calp was due to nothing more than the Baltimorean's fighting heart and durability, for Norment proved one of the sweetest hitters of his weight to invade the Capital since legaliza- tion of boxmg. He gave Calvin a thorough going over in seven of the €ight rounds, winning all except the first round, which was even. Hudson Contributes Lone Kayo. | WNER of a wicked left hook and a natural boxing style, Quarles appears to lack nothing more than a little polish and experience in the ways of professional fisticuffing.

Hudson, dropped to the canvas in the first round for a five-count in- terrupted by the bell, came back in the third round of a scheduled four- | rounder to flatten George Mackron of Scranton three times and win a technical knockout the only ab- breviated scrap of the night. Lefts to the jJaw dropped the six-pound heavier Mackron twice for nine counts before Hudson belted him through the ropes as Referee Denny Hughes | stepped in to stop in Julian Whips Charles. | AMMY JULIAN. rapidly improving local junior welterweight, won his second straight start in a hot prelim. winning a decision over Baby Charles of Washington after four hectic rounds. Charles, pounds | heavier and a sharper puncher than in his last previous appearance, Was away winging. but Julian grabbed the second and fourth heats and drew in the third to win a unanimous decision. Sid Silas, seeking his third straight victory, was temporarily checked in a six-rounder by Tommy Bashara of Norfolk, who finished strong to gain an even break. Referee Hughes voted for Bashara, while Judge How- ard Livingston called it a draw, and Frank Schuyler, the other judge, bal- loted for the local welter. In the so-called main event Morrie Sherman. Detroit welter, was out- waltzed by Frankie Hughes of Wis- consin and consequently was awarded a unanimous decision over Hughes in 10 outrageous rounds that may re- quire weeks for the Hunt Club to live down. Sherman won, or, rather, | Hughes lost, every round except the seventh. The original crowd of 1,500 melted away to a mere couple of hundred before the last few awful rounds were committed. A.

By the Associated Press. OS ANGELES, December 4— | Reaching the last lap of a dis- } mal foot ball season, with| | Notre Dame en route West to | | administer the coup de grace, Coach | Howard Harding Jones frankly ad- mits he is “completely baffled” by the | collapse of his gridiron wizardry. ‘The head man of the Trojans has worked harder with the 1934 Trojans than with any of his other teams. The results have been the worst ever. The material of U. 8. C. this year, Jones feels, is better than he had at Towa in 1917, when he lost five games, | and better than that he had at Duke in 1924, when he lost five.

Then 11.000 spectators saw him take the count for the first time, after being down for the count of nine in the second. Walker tried to stem Pirrone’s on- slaught for 10 rounds. His left eve was cut in an early round and his | right eye in the sixth, but he fought | gamely on, winning the eighth, ninth and tenth rounds. He smacked Pir- rone solidly on the ribs in the elev- enth just before the winner made the heavy charge. Pirrone, who was credited with get- ting most of the rounds, weighed in at 159, while Walker tipped the scales at 162, COUNTY BASKETERS AGAIN PLAN LEAGUE | Prince Georges Tossers to Meet Friday—Hyattsville Guard Quints Practicing. MEETING to reorganize the Prince Georges County (Md.) Basket Ball League has been NIVERSITY, Va, December 4 —Recommendations that the present athletic organization of the University of Virginia be abolished and replaced by a regular | administrative division or school of the university consisting of three divi- sions of intercollegiate athletics, of physical education and of intramural | sports under one faculty head, have been set down in a report of a special investigating committee that was made public today by President John Lloyd | Newcomb. ‘This report further recommends that all full-time coaches, instructors and assistants be members of the univer- sity faculty elected by the rector and visitors upon recommendation of the president, just as professors in other | departments are chosen. Under the recommended plan the present Athleiic Council would be superseded by an *“Advisory Council” consisting of nine members, three fac- ulty representatives appointed by the president, three students and three alumni named by the Alumni Associa- tion. This council should act only in an advisory capacity. Deliberates Long Time. RESIDENT NEWCOMB appointed this special committee on Janu- ary 2, 1934, and requested that ft study the athletic practices of leading American colleges and universities and recommend to the University of Vir- ginia a plan for the unified control of all forms of athletics and physical training. William H. White, jr., of Washing- ton, D. C., alumnus chairman of the Athletic Council, was named chair- | man of Dr. Newcomb’s committee. Other members appointed were George | B. Eager, professor of law; James G. Driver, director of athletics: Dr. John H. Nefl, professor of urology and for- mer head foot ball coach; Lawrence | T. Ludwig, associate professor of | physical education, and Christopher | B. Garnett of Cherrydale, Va., repre- sentative from the Board of Visitors. A recommendation is that “all full- time coaches shall be elected and | have their pay fixed by the Board of | Visitors, in the same manner and upon recommendation of the presi- dent, as professors in any other de- ' partments are elected. They shall perform such duties as may be dele- | gated to them by the heads of their | respective divisions and such duties in other divisions as the dean of athletics may require.” As long as the university is a mem- ber of any intercollegiate conference its eligibility rules must conform to | those of that conference. Recom- mendation is made, however, for the | naming of a faculty committee to pass on questions of athletic eligibility and to represent faculty opinion in all| athletic matters. Would Take Over Property. LL property of the athletic asso- ciation which is valued at more than $600,000 would be trans- ferred to the university, which would assume responsibility for all debts, liabilities and contracts. The super- intendent of buildings and grounds would look after the upkeep of all facilities of the athletic plant. Under the suggested plan that State would come into possession of Scott Stadium, Lambeth Field, other prac- tice flelds, the Memorial Gymnasium and the tennis courts, valued at more than $600,000 “not one penny of which has been appropriated by the State of Virginia. Under these circumstances it would seem that the State might well match in part at least these valuable gifts to it, by appropriations sufficient to build and equip a modern field house and to provide other needed facilities.” Every effort should be made, the report recommends, “to encourage if not to require participation in intra- mural sports by all students not phys- ically incapacitated.” Plan to Act Shortly. REATION of courses of instruc- tion in coaching various branches of sport under the direction of the division of physical education also is suggested. The recommendations probably will be considered at the next meeting of called for Friday night at 8 o'clock at the National Guard Armory Hyattsville. Managers of all tend. Candidates for the first and second court quints that will represent Com- pany F, National Guard, of Hyatts- ville have started practice. The Guardsmen won the Prince Georges loop crown I hopes of repeating. Not only will they have all their players of & cam- | | paign ago on the job, but it is poflthe that Rufus Vincent, former Univer- sity of Maryland star, a Hyattsville | boy. will perform with them. Barker, who has had experience with the Hyattsville High squad, is another newcomer listed to hold forth with the Guardsmen. | Company F tossers expect to open their season Sunday and are seeking | an opponent for that date as well as others.

S THEY dropped from a cham- pionship position to seventh place in the American League the past season the Nationals were not strong at striking out, but they were not so strong at driving over runs, either. The Washington ball club checked in with 447 strikeouts for the season. Only one other outfit, the Indians, had fewer strikeouts. There were 433 against Walter Johnson's club. However, the Nationals managed to bat in but 682 runs. This excelled the records only of the White S8ox with 662 and the Browns with 631. As had been the case in several previous seasons, Joe Cronin was the big stick of the Nationals in the past campaign when it came to shoving across the tallies. The former man- ager shot over 101 runs, despite his rather pcor batting mark. That got him tenth position in the league in this respect. Myer Waits 'Em Out. UDDY MYER was the only other B National getting a high ranking miscellaneous averages. He drew 102 bases on balls to be fourth among the league's pass re- cipients Lou Gehrig of the Yankees for the fifth time led the league in driving in runs, sending over 165. He thus tied Babe Ruth, who had been the league leader five times since such figures were first tabulated in 1920 Bv batting in 104 runs Al Simmons of the White Sox set a new league record. It was his eleventh consecutive season in which he had driven across 100 or more scores. Three batters besides Myer got in rh- 100 class at receiving passes. Jimmy Foxx of the Athletics led with 111. Gehrig was second with 109 and Ruth third with 103. Strikeout King. ARLAND CLIFT. the Browns youthful third baseman, was the strikeout king of the circuit. He wung futilely or had the third one called 100 times. Joe Vosmik of the Indians struck out only 10 times in games. 104 | Frank Crosetti of the Yanks and | Frankie Putlak. the diminutive Indian | catcher, were fine targets for the pitch- lers. Each was pinked five times with a hurled ball. Bill Rogell. who played in every one of the champion Tigers engagements, never was hit. Some players have all the luck. . CHALLENGES D. C FIVES.
