New York, Dec. 12.---Jose Lom. oardo Of Panama and Louis (Kid, kaplan of Meriden, Conn, will meet tonight at Madison Square Garden In the semi-fral round of the state athletic commissions tournament to determine a successor to the feath- erweight boxing title surrendered by Johnny Dundee. The winner of this match will face Danny Kramer of Philadelphia for the title in 15- round test in the same ring three weeks hence.
 Lombardo and Kaplan came into the semi-finals by eliminating Lou Paluso of Salt Lake City and Bobby Garcia of Camp Holabird, Md, re- spectively, less than a month ago. kaplan won by vicious attack in the final round, Garcia having held the Connecticut flash on even terms up 10 that time. Lombardo was never In danger in his clash with Paluso, who was punished severely about the body.
 Kramer was awarded the decision over Mike Dundee of Rock Island. H., in the preliminaries, and drew bye for the second round. giving him six weeks 10 train for the final tAt. His victory over Dundee was generally approved by sporting writ CTS, but led Dick Curley, Dundee's manager. to kick himself out of box ing so far as New York is concerned. CurlHy's right toe connected with Referee Patsy Haley's face during the furore which followed the yer dict, the crowd meanwhile standing and combining "boos" with applause.
 As tonight's semi-final two of the men defeated in the first bouts of the tournament have been matched. Dundee meeting Garcia. The edict which barred Curley, does not affect the status of his boxers, the com- mission announced.

Although all four teams are ap- parently evenly matched in the Y. NJ. C, A. Saturday Basketball league. the Apaches and the All tSars were considered lucky in winning last week. their rivals suffering the loss Of some of their strongest players via personal foul route.
 The Apaches and the All Stars arc scheduled 10 start the ball rolling in the first game tomorrow afternoon, and as both teams have tasted victory 1t is reasonable to as- sume that when they clash both teams will endeavor to increase their lead in the fight for the champion ship.
 Red Wings and Aces with a one game loss chalked up against their records will fight desperately to stay out of the cellar position.

IPR0F. FOOTBALL
 VERSUS COLLEGE
Evans Discusses Merits Of Two
 Brands of Game
(By Billy Evans)

'Is professional football superior to the amateur brand as played by the leading colleges?
 What do you think would be the outcome of a game between the best professional team and say either Notre Dame, Yale or Dartmouth? ?"
 Recently I received letter from football fan in which he asked my opinion on professional football versus the college game.
 It is rather difficult to make a definite reply to the two queries, unless certain stated conditions, such as conditioning of players and the coaching, Is taken into consideration
 Unquestionably the brand of pro- fessional football as played the past season was of much improved quality The players were better conditioned and well coached.

It must be remembered that the professional football teams are made up almost entirely of former college stars. Thus professional material in football almost Of necessity must be recruited from the college ranks.
New Britain herald., 1924-12-12

Thus on the whole the profession al and college material is very much the same.
 While the spirit of the pro teams is excellent, 1t falls below the col lege standards.
 It Is impossible to put the same i fight into game that is being played for mere money instead of the traditions of a college.
 Undoubtedly the condition of a college team as whole is better than that of a professional elevep, due to more regular practice, a training table diet and the care re- cciVed from trainers and handlers.
 Recently in a game at Philadel- phia, former stars in game played to keep the Penn team in condition for its coast trip, defeated the var sity team by two touchdowns.
 The result of that game, however, 1 doesn't settle the question for me. If Dartmouth, Yale or Notre Dame | played one of the leading pro elevens, I feel that would string along with the collegians, despite , the fact there is really no advantage either way, unless 1t be superior condition plus the old college spirit.
New Britain herald., 1924-12-12

The professional teams as result are merely college players with 8 greater football experience.
 If these players are properly con- dttioned and we'll coached, there is no reason why the standard Of play in the pro" circles should not be on much the same plane as the colleges.
 A college star out of condition is sad sight, A few weeks ago saw a former All-American tackle who had put on about 30 pounds after leaving college make a sorry showing in a professional game.
 The professional promoters now see the folly of trying to dig up college stars of great reputation without giving a thought as to con- dition.
New Britain herald., 1924-12-12

Getting players only one year out of college has done much to better
 he physical condition of the profes-
 sionaI elevens Incidentally an at-
 tempt is made to sign players who
 have a pride in retaining their con dition.
