Sprained Back Causes Georgia
BattIer to Cancel
Two Bouts.

MACON, Ga, Oct. 27.-"Young'
Stribling, outstanding claimant for
the light heavyweight crown now
worn by Mike McTigue, is hors de
combat for the next three weeks,
as the result of a sprained back
sustained during training. Strib-
ling's condition has resulted in his
father canceling two bouts sched-
uled for his son at Knoxville, Tenn,
and Raleigh, N. G..
However, when the sensational
young boxer, who recently fought
ten-round draw with McTigue at
Columbus, regains his normal form,
he will have a choice number of
fights to consider. Bouts have been
offered him at Toledo, Ohio, with
Joe Packo, and at Boston, Mass,
with Joe Egan.
Atlanta promoters are trying TO
land a bout for that city between
Stribling and Johnny Wilson, former
middleweight champion of the world.
The offer for the Toledo scrap came
from Add Thatcher, who promoted
the Jack Dempsey Jess Willard
match.
Stribling has fought and won two
fights since his affair at Columbus
with the champion of his division.
At Detroit he decisively outpointed
Tommy Burns, and a week or so
ago he knocked out Steve Choynoslki
in their bout at Macon.

Loses, 13 to Z.

When Drawn fails, the noodle is
a woodworking asset on the
grid. It Is under any circum-
stances, for that matter, but it
was especially helpful to Eastern
high schools gridders in defeating
Western, Ia, to Z, in the opening
contest OF the scholastic champion
ship series.
Western gained three times az
much ground on line and on plays
as did Eastern and scored nine first
downs to Eastern's four, yet one
would hardly guess this truth.
Eastern played brainy football
when it counted most, employing
the forward pass, The individual
efforts Of Jack Smith, whose punt
ing averaged nearly forty yards, and
Tom Hook and Gladstone Rouda-
bush, backs, told heavily in the
victory.
Smith punted once for seventy
yards, counting the roll, and this
led to a touchdown. It put East
ern out of a dangerous position.
Eastern's winning play was 4
criss-cross ending in a forward pass.
Roudabush heaved to Doerr for
Eastern's first touchdown, in the
second period. The ball bounced
off the hand OF a Western player,
was grabbed by Doerr, who lunged
over the line.
Tommy Hook was responsible
largely for Eastern's second marker.
He ripped and twisted twelve yards
to put. the ball on Westerns 1-yard
line, In the third quarter. then
bucked again for the touchdown.
Left Halfback David, who PLAYED
a hard game for Western, got away
on a fake punt and ran from mid
field for Westerns touchdown.

NEW YORK. Oct. 27.-The old
adage that tells US that it's an
i'll wind that fails to watt bene-
tit to some one holds particularly
true in the recent decision Of the
Cornell University Athletic Coun
ell, which declared Fred Lovejoy.
the Ithacans' star Splinter, who
holds the intercollegiate A. A. A.
A. 220-yard championship. to be In
eligible to represent Cornell In
further athletic activities.
Barred from racing as college
student, Lovejoy is planning to
represent the New York Athletic
Club during the coming indoor sea-
son as well as in the Olympic
campaign in the early summer Of
1924. That the Winged Foot Club
will benefit materially through the
action of the Cornell athletic cOun-
Gil is, apparent on the face of
things, as Lovejoy is one Of the
smartest furlong sprinters in the
United States, and as well can
step the quarter mile in so seconds
His presence on the winged n.
Y. A. C. relay teams will greatly
improve the chances of the local
organization In its indoor team en-
gagements on the boards during
the coming winter.
Lovejoy's ineligibility Is q mat
ter OF open question. The intercol
legiate champion. it seems, took
part in one meet. as memnos
of the team of a small college be-
fore going to Ithaca. He believes
that his eligibility should not be
affected, as the games in QuOs-
ton were not open. The Cornell
athletic authorities hold a differ
ent view, however and have de-
cided that Lovejoy shall not take
part in further competition as q
member of the Big Red team.

That explanation is, Of COURSE
logic itself. Yet it is a surprising
one in view of the Latin's almost
loutish awkYardness and the fact
that Bill Brennan and others did
not experience the same difficulty.
According to Dempsey, the human

peculiarly that he, Dempsey, found
himself without defense against it,;
Willard is alleged to have expressed
Similar views. Firpo, therefore,
must have something besides chest
full of hair and mean disposition.
"Flrpo feints with the right and
then shoots it in in such peculiar
manner that l couldn't keep away
from the punch" Dempsey Is al
legged to have declared. Il had some
idea of boxing him for five or six
rounds, but when he hit me twice
with the right in the first ten seconds
of the fight / realized that / would
have to get him quick, or he might
get me.
II felt that / could take it better
than he could early in the fight.
But II it went beyond five or six
rounds / might not have been able
to come back so readily from one
OF those right-handers. FirnO is
the heaviest puncher / ever faced.
1t would have been bad business
to waste time with him."
It Is of interest to note that
Dempsey faced two men of diametri-
caIly opposed types in his last two
starts-namely, Firpo and Tom Glib

Rule To Equalize
Trainer Satisfies
CUNTS

The latest suggestion for a
change in the basketball rules
is aimed at ending the practice
of a star basket shooter ac-
cumulating points on free losses
after fouls. A team with an
accurate basket tosser can off
set all the fine teamwork of
q well-drilled five. The COM
mittee is now considering
rule which provides that the
player against whom the foul
Is made shall make the free
try for goal.
Basketball players will object
to it more or less, but in the
end it will tend to equalize The
scoring strength Of the various
teams.
