IT would he jrard to say just when Mr. Hinkle first saw Yall. His first official took place in Calumet High School in Chicago. Tony played guard and in his ‘senior year his team was runnerup in the city tournament. In Chicago that’s quite an honor. Then Mr. Hinkle went to the University of Chicago. For three years he was an all-Conference guard, and captain for his last two years. - About the first thing Tony does after football season, is to try out a new pair of basketball shoes. He's done this every season as ; long as I can recall and he never seems to try out the same kind twice. This year it’s a pair with leather uppers and rubber soles. They look pretty nifty and the Butler five may wear them.

Huge Throng to See Army Oppose Navy
G-Men Investigating Ticket Speculation; Scalpers Reap Profit,
BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 27.—The largest crowd ever to see an Eastern football game was assembling here today for the annual grid extravaganza between Army and Navy. Tickets for this traditional battle have been sold out for two weeks. Scalpers have reaped such a rich reward that “G-men” are investigating how they were ‘able to get choice seats- assigned to high government officials in Washington. Since last night every arriving train and plane has disgorged a capacity load, and those who didn’t have hotel reservations were out of luck. It is estimated that this huge crowd will spend more than $1,000,000 in the few hours they are here. Erect More Seats More than 28,000 temporary seats have been erected in Municipal Stadium, which will accommodate 101,519 persons—the second largest crowd ever to see an Army-Navy game. The largest was in 1926 when the Middies and Cadets played before 110,000 at Soldiers’ Field in Chicago . The Army ‘team is quartered at Greenhill Farms just outside the city. Aside from limbering up exercises today, no farther practice will be held. Coach Lieut. Gar Davidson was undecided -as to his starting lineup, debating whether to start Monk Meyer or Jim Craig at left half. Coach Tom Hamilton had made up his mind as early as Wednesday.
Betting Is Heavy
Odds favoring Navy range between 6 ‘and 7 to_5, and there seems to be more betting on the outcome than any game this year. Army was thought to have much the better team at the beginning of the year, but successive defeats by Colgate and Notre Dame, while the Navy submarined the Ramblers, 3 to 0, turned sentiment. Investigation of ticket speculation began after two men were arrested by local police. They allegedly sold four seats at $15 cach to a detective and offered 30 other “choice seats” which police c<aid were issued to persons “close to the White House.” The tickets were confiscated and the Suspects. ‘held under. $500 bail. : The Cadet Corps of 1600 and 2400 Midshipmen: will = 8 1 morning: ‘They w le into stadium shortly Ia oarade 1

Favor Ross in
Crown Against lzzy . Jannazzo..
BY HENRY SUPER United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—Barney
‘| Ross of Chicago is a 4-1 favorite to retain his world welterweight championship ‘ against Izzy Jannazzo of 1 Birmingham
tonight in their 15round bout at Madison Square Garden. Despite the long odds, many boxing experts believe Ross will find stiffer oppositior than anticipated in Jannazzo.
: Ross will be risking his 147-pound
title for the first time since he re-
captured it from Jimmy McLarnin 16 months ago. More than 10,000 fans are expected to attend.
Ross Is Lighter
Ross, who came into New York last night from his Ferndale training camp, expected to scale about 144 pounds at today’s weighing-in. Izzy, who did his conditioning in the city, should register about two pounds more. - Handlers of both men pronounced them in excellent condition. The champion has fought and won nine non-title bouts since regaining his title. His last fing appearance was against Phil Furr at Washington, D C., in August. Tonight the 27-year-old welter king is tackling a lad six years younger, who has the ruggedness and stamina of a mule and who is noted for his awkward unorthodox style. Jannazzo fights like a sawed-off ‘Maxie Rosenbloom, but he is far more aggressive than the erstwhile light heavyweight ruler.
Izzy on Edge
