Bass Rules Favorite Over Popular Tod Morgan in Junior Title Scrap

Philly Boxer Rated Better With Gloves Challenger Is Stiff Puncher and May Stop Lad From Coast. BILLED FOR 15 ROUNDS BY FRANK GETTY, United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Dec, 20.—Tod Morgan, dark-haired little fellow from the west coast, who for the past lour years has defended the junior lightweight title as a true champion should, may reach the end of his reign over the 130-pounders tonight, by the fists of walloping Bennie Bass of Philadelphia. The challenger figures to whip Morgan on points or stop the champion before the end of the scheduled fifteen rounds. If Tod goes down to defeat and returns to his Avocado ranch, he will leave behind a worthy record of a titleholder who was willing to fight in defense of his crown. Since he won the 130-pound championship by stopping Mike Ballerino back in 1925, Morgan has engaged in sixteen title fights, most of them tough ones. He has had his ears battened down once or twice in that time, fighting lightweights like Phil McGraw and Stanislaus Loayza, but he has always been willing and ready and able to fight, which is more than can be said for most of our champions of recent years. Bennie Bass, who is a 7 to 5 favorite to take Tod’s title, is a busy two-fisted little slugger who can box as well when he needs to. Bass prefers rough going, and is quite a body puncher, a style which should be effective against the none-too-rugged champion. Morgan has not been impressive in recent appearances in the east, and so is one of the few champions to enter the ring on the short end of the betting. It will be the first championship fight Madison Square Garden for fiftr . months.

Campus Sport Comment 'BY KNUTE ROCKNE

ON New Year’s day Southern California will meet Pittsburg In the annual tournament of roses grid game at Pasadena. I am inclined to favor the University of Pittsburgh, slightly. Southern California’s attack goes great guns if the opposing defensive line shows any weakness anywhere. I doubt if Howard Jones’ running attack will make any impressions on the great Pitt line. However, they say that the Pitt forward pass defense is not everything that it should be. If this is the case, Southern California may Blip one over. Pitt has a great running attack, possibly the finest In the country, but Pitt’s forward passing attack has not been very much In evidence at any time this year. When Notre Dame played Southern California, Notre Dame’s running attack was held pretty well in check. Notre Dame was able to win the game through her overhead attack. Pitt will have to swing to the air, I believe, to beat the Trojans. There is one thing that Southern California will have to guard against and that is staleness from an overlong season. Whereas Pittsburgh’s schedule was broken off on Thanksgiving day. giving the men a chance for a little break before resuming drill for the coast game. Southern California's season continued until way into Dec. 14, against Carnegie Tech. (Copvright. 1929. for The TUnes)
