Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Dec. 10. THE tournament of fouls—a private affair between Primo Carlera. who owns the biggest feet in he history of boxing, and Young Strtbling. whom the Italian outweighs by eighty-five pounds—now s even up. Camera got the first fight on a foul, and last Saturday right Stribling took the second meeting on another foul. New 'V ork :row is threatened with a rubber contest, so called. I hope this turns out nothing more than a rumor. We can raise all the home-grown fouls we need around here without importing any foreign producers. nun The Impression left by this second foul meeting •* that Camera’s chief claims to fame rest in his tremendous sire and his hit feet. In spite of his handicap in Height, StriMlnr was able to bring the olf Carpenter from Venice to the canvas in both engagements, and we all know that Stribltng no longer is any great shocks in the American ring. a a a THE suggestion has been advanced to match Camera with Vic Campolo for the percheron championship. This should be reserved for the outdoor season, and held in a ring sufficiently large and built on a steel and concrete foundation. Boxing history holds out no great hope for Camera. When they come too big, they are too easy to hit and too unwieldly and awkW’ard against a real fighter of, say, the Dempsey proportions. ana It was back in 1812 that Freeman, the American Gfanl. who stood seven feet in his socks, invaded England and was knocked out by Bill Ferry, the Tipton slasher, who scaled onlv ISO pounds. We all know about Jess Willard. Dunkhorst, Plaacke, and the rest of the school of behemoths. They never have amounted to much. a a a WHEN Otto Von Porat, Swedish heavy, met Phil Scott, Britisher, in the Garden Monday night, it must have been a shock for the fistic old-timers to see two foreign contenders fighting in a heavyweight elimination tournament right here in little old New York. It must have been particularly bruising to the pride of the old guard to find an Englishman scrapping with a Swedish-Norwegian in the Garden and a German Schmeling waiting for the outcome, with an Italian Camera chiseling into the argument ever so slightly, too.

H. F. writes: You present records to show Dempsey wsr a harder hitter than Fitzsimmons. But you don't go behind the records. Consider the circumstances. Dempsey stopped Willard. Who was Willard? Just a great bit unconditioned hulk of a man whom any fairly good puncher In tip top shape could have stopped. Dempsey stopped Carpentler. Who couldn't have stopped him? He was just a middleweight. And BUI Brennan. The wet washeries had Just finished with him. And Billy Miske, a gallant old war horse who was critically ill even at the time he fought. And Firpo. a green, unskilled giant but a hitter nevertheless and one who would have been given the championship in any other country. And Gibbons, another smallish fellow and the medium by which the public first got a real line on the the slipping Dempsey. Finally came Tunney. a Gibbons type. Only larger and stronger, and what was the answer—Dempsey lost ten out of ten. at Philadelphia and the only round he won out of ten at Chicago was through his opponent's carelessness.” tt tt tt Comment: Maybe the gentleman Is right. Besides this is no time for bitter arguments. It is getting too close to Christmas, and I’m not going to be sucker and get good old Kris Kringle off’n me now after a tough year in which I ate my spinach faithfully and was in my little old beddo each night before nine, some mornings. Still, I will argue mildly against belittling Dempsey's seventh round performance on the ground of Tunney carelessness. If my corespondent will name me any fighter, in his right senses, who deliberately allowed himself to be knocked down or out I will be most interested in receiving the information. To the extent that the recipient fails to function 100 per cent defensively, all knockdowns, as well as knockouts, are due to carelessness, but that doesn't or shouldn’t take anything away from the man who is quick enough to capitalize the lapse. lOWA FILLS SCHEDULE Hawkeyes Already Have Nine Games on Basketball Card.

lowa Was Only ‘Scapegoat,’Alumni Claim, Asking Showdown

Cedar Rapids Group Seeks ‘Square Deal’ Full Probe of Situation at Hawkeye and Other Schools Asked. Hu rpitr/l Press CEDAR RAPIDS, la., Dec. 10.— The lowa Alumni Association of Cedar Rapids through its president, Judge Thomas B. Powell, decided Monday night to take “definite” action on the ouster of the at ate university from the Western Conference. A meeting will be held here Friday or Saturday, to discuss plans. Taking a sharp issue with Judge M. L. McKinley of Chicago, Judge Powell emphatically denied that the alumni of Iow j a have had any influence on athletic policies in the last few years. Alumni Only Liason “It is true that three alumni were placed on the athletic council last spring, but they have no vote and act only as liason between the university and alumni,” he said. “Whether or not President Jessup had any knowledge of irregularities complained of, I do not know, but for the good of the university and the state, it would seem advisable to have a full investigation of the whole matter, that 811 may know’ what the real situation was that caused lowa to be kicked out. That Carnegie Report “Further, it would seem incumbent on the Western Conference to conduct an investigation of the affairs of the other schools in view of the charges made by the Carnegie Foundation, and the many reports that have been, and are still in circulation. Unless this is done, it certainly will look suspicious, and leaves the impression that lowa was only a ‘scapegoat’.” Another angle was Injected into the lowa alumni fight for “a square deal” Monday night, when members of the alumni here declared their intention of having a “show down” of the entire matter and will call on Commissioner John Griffith to make public information which will be placed in his hands, and which is said to bear out lowa’s contention that “those of you, who are without sin, cast the first stone.”

” BACKBOARD I lit by VERN BOXELL

THE old argument is on, and basketball fans and writers up and down the state are discussing the relative merits of the fast breaking offense and the delayed offense. A few years ago, everything was “speed.” We still have a mental picture of a certain coach who stood on the sidelines at every afternoon’s workout with a big wooden paddle with which he “encouraged” players inclined to take things too easy. That year, this team went “big guns” in the first two games of the state tournament, defeating Anderson, heavy title favorites. But they lost the next game to a weaker team, for the sole reason that they were worn to a frazzle, unable to follow the ball. TWO YEARS AFTER THIS, A NEW COACH WON THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP WITH ONE OF THE BEST TEAMS THAT HAS BEEN SEEN IN THE STATE FINALS.. WE ARE REFERRING TO MARION. THE ORIGINAL MARION GIANTS. WHICH INCLUDED CAPTAIN 808 CHAPMAN OF MICHIGAN, COCATTAIN. AND ALL-AMERICAN CENTER CHARLES MURPHY OF PURDUE, AND EVERETT CHAPMAN AND KARL KILGORE OF MANCHESTER COLLEGE, WERE ONE OF THE FIRST TEAMS TO USE THE DELAYED OFFENSE, WITH 808 CHAPMAN. THE RANGY FLOOR GUARD. AS THE KEY MAN. tt tt tt Anther team, as great if not greater than the Gikhts, to demonstrate the power of the delayed offense, was Frankfort, last year’s champions. tt o o The main argument of the opposition to the delayed offense is low scores, and possibly less action. But there is nothing in court circles more impressive than a clever quintet working slowly down the floor, waiting for an opening and then breaking fast under the basket. tt tt tt Opponents oE the fast offense, granting that the speedier type of play provides more thrills, point out that it is detrimental to the health of the players. And alter all, the building up of young athletes is the fundamental purpose of prep athletics. tt it tt INDIANA took one on the chin from De Pauw last Saturday night in opening their hardwood season. Or, should we say, De Pauw put one on Indiana's chin? Those who know their basketball will toll you that the Tigers will be way up among them this season. Tubby Moffett, the Old Gold coach, has Mountz, center; Ragsdale, former Washington star, forward; Crawley, floor guard; Struck, guard, and Captain Stunkel, Owensville, guard. Paired with Ragsdale at forward is Rex Moffett of Indianapolis, brother of the coach.

Indiana U. Quintet Seeks Revenge From Pitt Friday Easterners Hold 52 to 31 Verdict Over Crimson Last Season; Veterans Compose Both Teams.

Bv Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Dec. 10.— Pittsburgh, national hardwood championship claimants, in 1927-28, and one of the outstanding eastern teams last season, will oppose Indiana in the second basketball game of. the season here Friday night. Fans from all over the state are expected to witness the clash. Last year Pitt played host to Indiana and chalked up a 52 to 31 victory. This year both teams have practically the same stars on the court and a fast game is expected. Four regulars of the Pitt 1928-29 team are back, including Captain Charles Hyatt, leading scorer in the east last season with 302 points. Hyatt, generally conceded by critics to be one of the leading college basketball players in the country, will be paired with diminutive Paul Zehfuss at forward, while Les Cohen, varsity center of last season, and

Next Friday night will be a big night at Frankfort, with the Anderson Indians invading Hot Dog town. There’s no denying that Eddie Butler and the rest of the Staggmen are good, but whether they’re good enough for the well-balanced champions is questionable.

Dear Backboard —I’ll grant you the fact that Technical stands head and shoulders above every other basketball team In the city, but don’t overlook Manual. We’re not gunning for Tech’s scalp, but we are after a victory over Shortrldge and believe me, we are going to take those north siders into camp proper this year. A Fighting Manualite. If that’s the way you feel about It, all right. Tim Campbell probably feels relieved now. tt tt Hello Backboard—Don’t forget the boys at Butler.

Scott Loses Prestige by Win on Foul Referee Jack Dempsey and Doctor Say Briton Wasn’t Hurt.

BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—Otto Von Porat of Norway, dec! ired loser on a foul in the second round of his bout with Phil Scott of England Mopday night, was much closer to the heavyweight championship today than was his discredited opponent, who left the ring with the boos and cat-calls of a record throng in Madison Square Garden ringing in his battered ears. Scott, brushed by a long sweeping left while in full flight from Von Porat at the start of the second round, hesitated a moment, and then flopped to his knees and rolled ii: the resin. Blow Not Harmful The blow v.’as palpably low, but its force had been spent, and Jack Dempsey, former heavyweight champion, who was refereeing the widely advertised fight, felt certain it hadn’t harmed the Englishman. But Philip knows his fouls. He's been down before many a time and never failed to yell and writhe and claim victory by this obtuse method. He was successful Monday night, to the disgust of the crowd and every one concerned, but he lost whatever modicum of prestige lie may have enjoyed as a heavyweight contender. No Injuries Found “My legs were paralyzed by the blow. I couldn’t stand,” Scott protested after he had been assisted to his dressing room. But the state athletic commission’s doctors found no evidence that Scott had been injured In any way. “There was nothing I could do except disqualify Von Porat,” Jack Dempsey explained today. “I don’t believe Scott was too badly hurt to continue, and I tried to make him fight, but the fact remains that Von Porat accidentally hit him below the belt.” “I’ve never lost a fight on a foul before, nor have I ever been warned for hitting low,” was all Von Porat had to say. He had beaten Scott decisively in the first round. The Christmas' fund bouts drew gross receipts of $90,270.95; net receipts of $85,561.05. The paid attendance was lS.:t 2.

Packed House Sees Shires in Quick Victory Over ‘Palooka’ Arthur Flattens Dan Daly in First Round; Enters Ring Draped in Screaming Bathrobe.

BY BERT DEMBY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Dec. 10, Arthur Shires, who claims greatness in various lines of athletic endeavor, Monday night essayed to show his “public” that he is a pugilist. If knocking over a palooka entitled one to a claim of greatness it must be admitted that he is the “Great Shires” wnich he himself claims to be. It took Shires, who was making his debut as a professional pugilist, exactly twenty-one seconds to end a fight with one Dan Daly of Cleveland, who had never been heard of before in these parts. Shires, who plays a good game at first base for the Chicago White Sox, achieved considerable reputation as an amateur pugilist last summer when he twice blacked the eyes of Lena Blackburn, his manager. In fact, this pugilistic ability, combined with his egotism, Monday! night was responsible for the sell-]

He used nothing but left and right, hooks and all of the hooks landed on Daly’s jaw. There is no doubt about the fact that Daly was out. Shires stood to win when he went into the ring. The great Arthur doesn’t know a lot about fighting. He does knowsomething about color and showmanship and that perhaps accounts for his filling the building when even good fighters have been unable to draw money-making crowds.

Tracy Cox Is K. O. Victor Over Lencho Local Battler Scores Five Knockdowns in Two Fast Rounds. Kid Lencho's "good luck” cap, which he w’ears into the ring preceding all of his fights, lost its magic charms Monday night, and it took just a little more than one round for Tracy Cox, Indianapolis featherweight, to put the Mexican battler on the canvas for a full count. Lencho was the aggressor at the start of the first round, but soon found himself on the run before a barrage of rights and lefts from the Brightwood boy. He dropped for a no count after less than a minute of fighting, w’as down for seven a little later, and the bell found him on his knees in his corner,, unable to get up. To start the second round. Cox upset Lencho again. A terrific right uppercut shook the Mexican as they came off the ropes, and his knees sagged. Another right put him away. Royal Cox did not fare so well, losing an eight-round decision to Ray Palmer of St. Louis. Royal was wild and ineffective. He was down in the early rounds for an extended nine count, and in the sixth round he was reeling all over the ring. Palmer measured him for a sleep producer when the referee stepped between them long enough to halt the blow. The crowd, until this time prejudiced against Palmer, immediately swung their favor to him, but he had lost all interest, and coasted through the next two rounds without landing a damaging blow and allowing Royal to swing wildly and ineffectively. . Billy Rhodes. Southport heavyweight knocked out Jack Williams oi St. Louis in the first of a scheduled six-rounder. Joe Stanton. St. Louis featherweight, defeated Frank Gierke of Indianapolis In four rounds. Dick Porter or Anderson knocked out Bob O'Neil of Mars Hill in the one minute, and Harry Babrick shaded Skipper Bugsby of Logansport.
