N. B. A. MOVES TO OUST SCHMELING AS HEAVY CHAMPION

Mitt Heads Seek Vote Failure to Defend Title Is Reason; Walker Forfeit Is Returned. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY Cnitrd Pr<** Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Jan. 19.—Recognition of Max Schmeling of Germany as world's heavyweight boxing champion virtually was withdrawn today by the National Boxing Association because of his failure to defend the title within six months, leaving him in the position of a king without a country. Schmeling won recognition as champion by winning on a foul from Jack Sharkey in New York June 12, 1930 The German defended his title against W. L. ♦ Young) Stribling at Cleveland July 3, 1931, winning on a technical knockout in the fifteenth round. Thus in eighteen months he has defended his title only once. Ouster Is Severe Schmeling never has been recognized as champion by the New York state athletic commission. Inasmuch as the N. B. A. is the governing body in twenty-nine states and affiliated with the boxing commissions of Quebec, Montreal, Porto Rico, Cuba and Mexico, and the British board of boxing control and the International Boxing Union, governing body in continental Europe. Schmeling is now no more champion than Jack Dempsey, retired title holder preparing for a comeback. General John V. Clinnin, president of the N. B. A., today mailed back to Joe Jacobs, "manager of Schmeling, a check for $2,500 posted with the N. B. A. as a forfeit binding a match with Mickey Walker at Miami, Fla., Feb. 25., The Sehmeling-Walker match has been abandoned, and Schmeling gets his $2,500 back because Walker never had up a forfeit. In the regular weekly bulletin of the N. B. A. issued every Friday, the formel question of vacating Schmeling's title will be submitted for vote. This is merely a matter of form and under the N. B A.’s six-months rule Schmeling has deprived himself of recognition as title holder by refusal to fight. Loses Champ’s Share The fact Schmeling is now negotiating for a match with Jack Sharkey in June will have no effect on his present status, according to N. B. A. rules. If Schmeling goes through with a match with Sharkey, which is uncertain in view of the fact that he has dodged him for eighteen months, the public probably would recognize the winner as champion. The main penalty placed on Schmeling by the N. B. A.’s action is that he can not claim the champion’s end of 37 Va per cent in N. B. A. territory. For instance, in a match with Sharkey, the -German probably wolud have to take 25 per cent with the same division going to the Bostonian.

Off The Backboard — BY VERN BOXELL

GLENN CURTIS has pulled another. smarty. Several weeks ago ole Backboard stumbled into jovial Glenn in some town or other. Like your correspondent, Mr. Curtis was there to see a basketball game, and you can bet he had a good reason. '“Aw, I haven't got much this year," said Mr. Curtis. If Mr. Curtis doesn’t “have much this year, I'm wondering what he calls victories over Vincennes, Tech and Shortridge in three consecutive games. For the first time in a long, long time Mr. Curtis attended the state tournament as a spectator in 1931. His Artesians lost to Wiley of Terre Haute in the regionals. But he'll be back this year. He’s getting stronger now, which is cheerful news to Martinsville. tt tt tt Rack a few weeks ago. Mr. Everett Case . tmoke his niece about Bedford having: no right to beat Newcastle It was all an accident, according to Mr. Case, and to prove whereof he spoke, Everett sent liis Indians out Saturday night to wallon Bedford. 44 to 25. Now Mr. Case has another Job for his bovs. All they have to do is beat Newcastle. Mr. Robert Stranahan. the bard of Rosor City, informs your correspondent that Huffman, the back guard of back guards, may not be in their doing his rhores for the Troians Friday night.. It terms that Huffman twisted an ankle in the Muncie game. It I remember rightly. it happened in the first auarter. But Huffman played the rest of the evening, limning slightly.

Jadick Jabs Junior Welter Crown Off Canzoneri’s Head

By United Press PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 19. “Gentleman” Johnny Jadick of Philadelphia was the new junior welterweight boxing champion of the world today, thanks to a left jab. He won the title from Tony Canzoneri of New York Monday night in a furious ten-round battle at the arena here. Canozneri’s lightweight title was not at stake, because Jadick was over the lightweight limit of 135 pounds. Tony lost the junior welterweight championship which he won from Jackie (Kid) Berg of England at Chicago, April 24, 1931. The slender, clean-cut Philadelphian pitted his boxing skill against the champion’s terrific slugging ability and literally leftjabbed the junior welterweight crown off Canzoneri’s head.

Despite his phantom-like footwork and splendid blocking, Jadick suffered severe punishment. In the first round a crashing left hook caught him on the jaw and knocked him half way across the ring. He was dazed for several seconds. In the second round a hard left jolt to the jaw floored him for the count of four. In the sixth round a barrage of right and left hooks to body and head had him staggering about the ring. But Philadelphia’s gentleman pugilist avoided most of Tony’s blows, and kept the New York Italian’s head bobbing with a tattoo of left jabs to the face. Now and then he would follow with a fast right to the head, but his blows lacked Tony’s steam. Tony’s face was puffed and swollen when he left the ring. Jadick’s jabbing won him most of the late rounds.

Badgers in Big Change Wisconsin May Quit Big Ten If New Policy Is Not Adopted. By United. Press MADISON. Wis., Jan. 19.—New and drastic revision of inter-colleg-iate athletic regulations, requiring withdrawal from the Big Ten if necessary, has been submitted to the University of Wisconsin faculty by its committee of four which has studied the athletic situation for a year. Among the major recommendations were the following: t. Reorganization of athletic council, giving the university president more and the alumni less control over athletics. 2. Abolishment of directive coaching during football games and of secret practice. 3. Elimination of out of season practice in football and basketball except for freshmen. 4. Prohibiting scouting as far as possible without return to spying. 5. Requirement of affidavit from everv athlete showing source of personal income. 6. Anew definition bv the Big Ten of amateurism, not so technical or artificial as to be practically impossible of enforcement and should not prevent participation in other inter-collegiate sports by a student who earns money during summer playing baseball. 7. Reduction of coaching staff and reduction of coaches' salary to faculty level wtih coach given permanent job after three years' trial. The Wisconsin faculty will vote on the recommendations Feb. 8 and the result wil be submitted to the Big Ten. If only a few of the conference members agree to the reforms proposed, the committee recommends that Wisconsin withdraw from the Big Ten and refuse to compete with schools which do not enforce similar rules. Retention of George Little, athletic director who resigned at the request of the athletic council, was scheduled to come before the board of regents today. It was considered likely Little will get the post of director of intramural sports under the new policy of divided intramural and intercollegiate athletics. The members of the faculty committee which made the recommendations are H. C. Bradley, chemistry professor; Roy Brown, professor in law; Frank C. Sharp, philosophy professor, and Warren Weaver, mathematics professor.
