A—14 Boxing Comes Back in New Setting : Public Links Products Go SILAS.FURR SHOW DEDICATES ARENA Topliners, Meeting Third Time, Battling for D. C. Welter Title. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. HAT perennial stepchild of local I sports, professional boxing, re- turns to Washington in a Cinderella-ish setting tonight @s a man's unquenchable dream comes true. Offering as the box office magnet a pair of rather interesting if not truly expert welterweights, Promoter Joe Turner will dedicate a modest but thoroughly adequate indoor arena near Fourteenth and W streets, mark- ing the end of a two months’ exile for fisticuffing in the Capital. If for no other reason, the dedica- tion of Turner's new arena will be auspicious in that it marks the first time Washington ever had a sports plant built solely for boxing and westling. It marks the end of an era in which prize fighting has existed and even thrived in such settings as riding academies, Army barracks, an auditorjum for opera and an aban- doned brewery. Whether tonight will be marked by anything else of note chiefly will be up to Phil Furr and Sid Silas, main bout principals, who are to box 15 round or less for the so-called Dis- trict welterweight championship. Meet for Third Time. Tms will be the third time that Furr and Silas have faced in a Yocal ring, and, judging by what has gone before, Turner could have done worse in christening his arena. Furr, seemingly headed for reasonable heights in boxing once, used Silas as a stepping stone in their first bout, scoring a technical knockout in a one-sided affair. Silas, a transplanted Jewish boy from New York, who now works as a boxing coach here, demanded and eventually received a return meeting. ‘They got together last Summer when the funny Mr. Furr was losing figats as fast as he was matched. The sec- ond bout ended in a draw. ‘What has happened to Furr within the last year is something Phil, a na- tive of Foggy Bottom, probably knows best. He was cock-o'-the-walk in this town once. A leading ring publication ranked him among the world's 10 best welterweights. Perhaps his success made Philbert a little giddy, but at any rate he struck the skids and to- night he may not even be better than & 50-50 bet to whip Silas. Furr Is Harder Puncher. ’ALTHOUGH neither of the boys is much of a puncher it is possible that the full 15 rounds will not be necessary to decide the winner. Furr never has fought 15 rounds in his life and in shorter bouts he has given no special indicetion that he possesses the stamina for this distance at top speed. Silas has one or two 15-rounders to his credit, but Furr is slightly the harder puncher and Sid's jaw has been slightly the glassier. If Phil finds the range the Jewish lad may be in trouble. A preliminary card with a couple of matches to recommend it will lead up to the main event. One of the chief features will be a scheduled six-round bout between young Joe Green, local featherweight, and Eddie Burl, cagey Jacksonville swinger, who has been fighting since the moon came over the mountain. . In another six-rounder Billy Lan- ders, one-time local favcrite, will meet one Jim Lancaster from Wilmington, Del. A third bout at this distance will bring together Kirk Burk, who fin- ished his last fight in a horizontal po= sition, and Jim Ferrar, a heavyweight, who has a chance to stop the local lad | ‘again. The show will open with a four- | rounder between Joe Doty and Stan- ford Carrier, local welters. Action will start at 8:30 o'clock.

Tarzan True accounted for the third on another pass from Meyer, and the fourth was credited to Bill Grohs on a line smash. Elsewhere, Saturday’s program was marked by form reversals. Louisiana State, as- expected, crushed Tulane 41-0 to gain clear claim to the South- eastern championship, but Georgia fell before Georgia Tech, 19-7, and Mississippi_ State, conqueror of Ala- bama and Army, dropped a 14-6 decislon to Mississippl.

Heavily favored St. Mary’s gained only a 7.7 draw with Washington State, while U. C. L.

By the Associated Press. battle of statements on the question of whether American athletes should take part in the 1936 Olympic games in Germany because of alleged ractal and religious discrimination, comes down to a deci- sion this week at the annual conven- tion of the Amateur Athletic Union. While it is not on the official agenda and possibly may be sidetracked on parliamentary grounds, the Olympic question is expected to produce some lively arguments at the meeting, start- ing Friday and concluding next Sunday. Since the American Olympic Com- | mittee, headed by Avery Brundage of | Chicago, accepted the German invita- | tion 15 months ago, the issue has been | growing steadily. The “opposition,” led by Jeremiah to bring about a refusal by the asso- ciation to. certify American athletes for the competition, as required by Olympic rules. Even such a move would not be ef- fective, for Count Henri Baillet La- tour, president of the International Olympic Committee, that the Olympic Committee would be | permitted to certify athletes in case | the A.

Sometimes the laughs are on Davison and sometimes on Cobb, but their encounters al- ways are good for a big grin some- where along the route. Cobb was the victim yesterday of & bit of trickery which cost him the golf match, almost cost him a re- spectable piece of change, and made him swear to himself that the next time he makes a match with Davison he is going to look the proposition over from all angles. It happened this way: On the score cards at Congressional is a misprint in the handicapping strokes, by which No. 18 hole, which would be the fourteenth stroke on the card, becomes No. 1—an additional No. 1 as another hole already is rated as the first handicap hole. “Will you give me four strokes by the card?” asked Davison. “Sure I will,” said Cobb, “and let 1t be a lesson to you. ‘They came to the eighteenth hole all square and they halved the hole in stroke on that last hole and beat you out,” he said. “What?” yelled Cobb. “How come a stroke on the last hole?” Davison produced the score-card. ‘Where there should have been a fig- ure 14 there was a figure 1. “Boy, you've got to be a golf lawyer to lick this fellow,” Cobb said. here is the money.” “Nope,” Davison laughed. “I knew | all the time that handicap stroke on the eighteenth was a trick stroke, but I wanted to get a laugh out of you.

If Stylists Two Alike in Temperament, Skill—Rate Near Front in Any Company. BY W. R. McCALLUM. OWN at East Potomac Park, the municipal layout which has a habit of producing good amateur golfers, Washing= ton’s first big-time public course has turned out two leaders who are almost exact duplicates in temperament and in golf style. There have been others, and good players, produced on the local public courses, but over the years George J. Voigt and Claude Rippy, the latter the current municipal champ, stand at the top. Al Houghton s plenty good, and so were Ted Burrows, John Shorey, Earl McAleer, Harry Pitt and some of the others in their winning years, but Voigt and Rippy stand out among the amateurs as stylists. Compare their styles and you will find that they are almost exactly alike. Perhaps it is the type of shot- making demanded at East Potomac Park that has had the effect of pro- ducing two almost identical golf styles a decade apart. Voigt first came into prominence around 1923 when he began winning tournaments on the public courses as a build-up to the finest tournament record ever compiled by a local golfer. Rippy came along 10 years later, an importaton from Shelby, N. C., and quickly developed into the best ama- teur playing the public courses. Action Is Similar. OTH Voigt and Rippy developed their golf games on sand tees, and both have much the same hip and foot action. Both know all about those low-flying shots which have to be played on that wind-swept East Potomac Park course, and both of them developed the pitch-and-run shot to an astonishingly accurate sci- ence. Indeed, it was not until Voigt learned the high pitch and the long iron with stop that he began winning tournaments on private courses. Rippy hasn't yet developed the high iron shot to the degree needed to score well on the more rugged private lay- outs, but he will do so when he needs it, for the Carolina lad is a very fine shotmaker and one who knows how to make all shots. If you could place Rippy and Voigt together on a sand tee and watch them swing you would immediately notice many points of similarity about them. Both of them are what Tommy Armour would call “hand-hitters,” who use their hands in hitting the ball. But both of them have unusually fine body and hip action, a factor greatly needed to produce those low-flying, ground-hugging iron shots which sre required at East Potomac. Pitch-and-Run Experts. BOTH are adepts at the pitch-and run and the similarity extends even down to the putting, where they have similar styles. But Voigt is, or was, a better putter than Rippy. Voigt had, in his winning years, one of the finest putting philosophies ever de= veloped. He was a fine stroker of the 3 and 4 footers, but above that, he always went for the cup from any distance and any angle. His general theory was this: “It's just as easy to hole one coming back from 3 feet as it is to hole a 2-footer from the short side. And the long one always has & chance of going in.” They figure that 7 or 14 points are not enough. They keep gambling| and shooting for the winning margin, | even when ahead. They take nommgi for granted. They have no interest | in the “safety-first” play of the East, ! the Midwest and the West Coast. They | are out to get every point they can | make. They have found that 7 or even 14 points are not enough to ride with against attacking forces that can eat up ground. No section can offer a running back | to compare with Wilson of 8. M. U., or | show better linemen than Spain and Wetsel, the two giant forwards at tackle and guard. Down here they | not only grow big, but fast and active. | Spain and Wetsel are around 6 feet 4, weighing around 200 pounds, but| they move around like lightweights. | Against this you have Bobby Wilson, | weighing 147 pounds, who not only is blessed with amazing speed, but who, | |- in addition, is as hard to drag down | as some 200-pounder. The main feature of Texas foot ball is the wild, dizzy pace of the ball up and down the field. It swings back and forth like some cock-eyed pendulum. Conservatism is an unknown entity. ing mania—Southern Methodist did not. And that is why Southern Methodist will represent the South- west in the Rose Bowl for the first time in foot ball history.
