ILL LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL NET TEAMS TO SEE ACTION OVER WEEK-END

FARRELL ‘FEARED’ BY HAGEN Young Golfer Expected to Go Over Big This Year. By Jimmy Powers iVI,'.4 Service Writer NEW YORK. Feb. 2.—Keep the old lamps peeled for Johnny Farrell this year. He is the one man Walter Hagen fears. This tall, slender, black-haired, blue-eyed Irishman with a neat personality and every shot in the kit is iust about ripe for a sweet clean-up in the big golf spasms carded for 1927. Where do I get this noise? From "the Haig, himself, personal.” Natural (loiter I asked the Big Boy who he believed would give him his toughest run this year. Thought the answer fcivould include MacDonald Smith, Joe •rurnesa, Gene Sarazen, Leo Diegel, A1 Watrous or Bill Mehlhorn. “Can't see it that way at all,” says Hagen. "I fear Johnny more than any other golfer because 1 believe he finally has reached the stage where he can and will use the great game God gave him. “Most everybody hoped he’d come galloping through long before this. When he lagged a bit they hist their . interest and even if lie did come close failed to get the credit due him. He's' farther advanced right now than Gene Sarazen was at the some age. “He certainly lias the shots. He has a fine free swing with the wood, a crisp iron style, and there are not many better putters. “And here’s another thing—each year he’s slowly and quietly forged AHEAD. All his changes have been for the better.” In 24 championship rounds in 192 G Walter Hagen busted the ball for an average of 71 11-24 strokes. In 30 championship rounds in 19215 Johnny Farrell slugged the pill for an average of 72 11-30 strokes. These figures take in only the leaders Who have played 1(5 or more rounds in events of a major caliber. Os the eight first places in the eight leading tournaments, Hagen and Farrell together won two apiepe KNUTE ROCKNE SPEAKS Deplores Tampering With Shift— Wants Honolulu Grid Trip.

Boyer and Hahn in Hot Main Go Don Boyer, Toledo welterweight, and Ray Hahn, Indianapolis welter, mixed in a stiff-punching main go of ten rounds at Tomlinson Hall Tuesday nig'.it and the Ohio scrapper captured honors bn points. It was a give-and-take encounter and each youth scored a knockdown. It was the third time the welters clashed and Boyer won two of three skirmishes. There was not a thing wrong with this battle and both boys worked hard to please. The semi-windup was stopped in the fifth round when boxing comjmissioners and referee decided enough action was not being supplied. 1 Terry McMullen, Sydney, Ohio, was defeating Eddie Staton, Louisville, when the affair was halted. Results of other scraps on the Tuesday card were: Roy Cox derisively outpointed Eddie Roberts in six rounds; Casey Jones and Jackie Dugan battled to a draw in six rounds, and Ehrniun Clark knocked out Phil Walters In the second | round. Walters, advertised as a “mystery” I boxer, proved a lemon as a knuckle duster. He dusted the canvas in the 1 tlrst session and was quickly 31s- | posed of in the next stanza. Clark I had a cinch assignment. Tlioiulinson Hall Gossip The Casey Jonp.H-Ja<k‘ie Dusan scrap was a thriller. The junior lightweights didn't hold an'.thing back and the crowd stopped appeared to be responsible for the got a good kick out of the clash.i Staton's style in the bout that was action of the officials. McMullen seemed to be trying to make a fight out of it. Attendance at the Tuesday show was below expectations. The promoters made a had guess when they charged $3.30 for ringside seats. Boyer and Hahn were used up after their ten rounds ot fistteuffing. Both stopped plenty of punches. It was the best bout Hahn has fought in his home town. Con had a \veiihl advantage on Roberts and used it handily. He was the aggressor dll the way. Th- only mystery about Phil Walters was that he managed to last until the second round. Only two of the (i\e bouts staged were •'crowd pieasers." These were the Joneslhigan and Boyer-Hahn conflicts. Roy cox showed plenty, but he was much too good tor Roberts and this fact lessened interest in the fray. Cox. no doubt, will show better against a stronger opponent.
