BOXING BOARD
+. IS GOAT IN
SCANDAL.
BY SAM HALL
BY Universal Service.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Acri-
monious aftermath on the Wills-John-
son fiasco at Newark is very much in
order, with the New Jersey commits
sioners the goats, and deservedly so.
They permitted the sucker" public
to pay thousands Of dollars to see q
foregone conclusion match that lasted
only two minutes and two seconds,
after being told in advance that it
would be the worst heavy weight fight
of any Importance in modern ring his
tory. 1t turned out to be all of that.
Floyd johnson, nerve-wracked
war-worn ex-athlere, a physical shell
while still in his twenties because oil
many ring hammerings, was permitted
to try to fight the powerful Harry
Wills. a man who was at his best for
this soft fight, man who is conceded
the only serious chance to whip Jack
Dempsey. and who was trying his best
with johnson because he, Was told he
had better try.
Not one New York critic conceded
johnson n chance TO go over two
rounds with Wills trying. The way
Wills was hitting there was danger
of fatality and Johnson S manager
Charlie Cook, did the right thing IN
hurting in the towel.
Wills is not particularly to blame
for taking "set-dp." They all do
that. johnson is not to blame for
trying to make money by taking a
beating. The promoters ran the show
for the same reason. The Jersey COM
mission was the buffer to protect the
gullible public and it failed to func-
ton. 1t will lie u long time before 1t
lives down that match.
The big laugh was the examination
of Johnson after the fight to see If he
was intoxicated. The commissioners
had a doctor making johnson walk q
straight line and pick up matches from
the floor. 'rhey found the Iowa Bull
dog sober, but punch-drunk. He should
never fight again, and Manager Cook
says he never will-for him.

Floyd Johnson
Has Had Enough

TRENTON, n. j., Oct. 29.-Defeat
by Harry Wills in Newark Monday
night closed the ring career of Floyd
johnson, the Iowa Bulldog, he sent
word to the New Jersey state boxing
commission headquarters last night. He
apologized for his poor showing, say
ing he was convinced now that "even
il a fighter has the will to win be
cannot win unless his physical self
responds to the will"
Charley Cook, Johnson's manager,
who admits he tossed in the towel to
save johnson after two minutes of
the first round, and not the employed
second whom the commission held for
questioning following rumors of gam
bling and crookedness, said he thought
johnson in condition to fight but found
he was not and that he and the boxer
had severed all relations.
Johnson was barred from fighting
in New Jersey forever by the commits
sion yesterday. He sent word that he
would leave at once for his home in
Auburn, Wash, to go into business
there.

TRINITY. FAVORED
OVER KANGAROOS

WAXAHACHIE, Tex, Oct. 90
For the past several years, the Austin
College Kangaroos have been favored to
win over the Trinity Tigers whenever
these two teams met on the gridiron,
but this season the Tigers hold a
slight advantage on account of the i'm
pressive record made thus far by the
proteges of Coach Holton.
Trinity has won five games this
season, and the only defeat was suffer.
ed at the hands of the Texas Aggies
early in the season. Austin College
also has only lost one game, being Le-
feated by Southwestern, but the Kan
garoos have not met as strong teams
as have been played by Trinity.
However, this seeming advantage
may work against the Tigers. In 1928
Austin College had one of the strong
est teams in the history of the school
and had victories over Southwestern
Conference schools to its credit. but
when the Kangaroo met the Tiger,
Trinity scored q 9-to-0 victory, al
though dope was in favor Of the Sher-
man collegians.
The previous year also Austin Col
lege was favored to win but then also
did Trinity upset dope and completed
long pass to win. to 3.
Again last year Trinity had one of
the most disappointing seasons in the
history of the school while the Kanga-
roos had defeated Rice and Baylor,
yet the Tigers, with no offense at all,
managed to hold the Kangaroos to a

LLLIM BREAK UP
MICHIGARS PET
TOUCHDOWN PLAY

If Coach Fielding Yost Of NIichi-
gan was at all downcast at the re-
suit of the recent game with the
Illini, won by a mere so score, it
wasn't because his Michigan team
had failed 10 run up a score that
compared with the 81 to IA margin
in favor of Illinois last year.
1t was because one of his pet
plays, "Old Eighty-three" he calls
it. missed because one or two of the
Michigan athletes weren't where
they should have been.
"Old Eighty-three" was that play
which started like line plunge, de-
veloped into a double pass, and when
the enemy was hauled over to the
right, the back with the-ball, Greg
DRY, came shooting around his left
end.
Two Illini who should have been
put out of the MAY managed 20
stop Gregory before he reached the
goal line. 3
"That's the play that has scored
fifty-one touchdowns for Michigan,
said Yost. "0ld ,Eighty-three."

The road was narrow and bush

in the road were so numerous that
it became serious and something had
to be done if the schedule was to be

duties of clearing the road of cattle

RACE SINNER
DOWN To TWO
ARMY TEAMS

The Fort Sam Houston football
championship race has simmered
down to dispute between two teams
the 1924 title-holding First Infantry
men and the steam-roller that has
been developed this year by the Twen-
ty-third Infantry.
The finalists, definitely determined
by victories in games at the post
Wednesday, will meet to settle the
championship on the Twenty-third's
gridiron in the old c. NJ. 4. c. area
at Fort Sam Houston next Wednesday
afternoon. The game will be called ut
3 o'clock and will be free to the pub
lie.
The First Infantry, with Bower
sock. Mlynczak, Plumber and the rest
of the old guard hitting on all six
and taking advantage of all breass,
which were many, dumped the TWEEN
tieth Infantry, whose futile efforts
were conferred around the brilliant
Smith, by n $50 score.
The Twenty-third's Juggernaut roll
cd over the scrappy Second Engineers
for 53 points, but the Engineers, with
Tully the star, managed to score a
touchdown and so became the only
team that has registered against both
the First and Twenty-third defenscs
this season. Tally, who was a boxing
champion at West Point and never
went in for football, has discovered he
can play the game and is cutting great
capers with the Engineer eleven.
The Ninth Infantry took the meas
urc of the Twelfth Artillery, 20 to Z
Ives galloping around in form for thu
winners who had only to bother about
the Artillery passes. one of which
brought the losers lone score.

perfect rhythm and timing deliver the
longest possible ball, but since these
three things are hard to get all at
once, and since average good results
are best obtained through compromise,
it usually is best to shorten UP the
back swing and lengthen out on the
rhythm. These factors alone control
the flight of the ball, in yards.

WILL
PLAY PART
IN EAST

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-[P)-In-
juries, snow-covered gridirons and
train travel forecast difficulties for
several elcyens in the weekend foot
ball engagement. In the two leading
clashes of the East, the Pennsylvania
Illinois meeting at Philadelphia and
the Yale-Army battle at New Haven,
injury may play an exceptionally i'm
portant part.
The indicated Quakers. facing the
second invasion from the West in two
weeks, and one which brings the pow
orful Red Grange to the East for
the first time, must play without
Kruez and Fields. two backs who had
large share in downing Brown, Yale
and Chicago. Long, weighing 1GS
pounds, will substitute for Kruez.
Yale faces the Army with Cutler
and Kline, two of it's luminaries OF
the backfield, forced to the sidelines,
while Butterwortb, tackle, also went
out of the running yesterday.
BROWN LOSES COUPE.
Brown, too, coming up to its an
nual game with the Big Green of Dart
mouth, is shattered in the forward
wall, although Smith, burly tackle,
is expected to resume activity. Hodge.
W no played center against Yale, and
Magce, tackle, probably are out for
the remainder of the season. .,i.
The Navy sails into a snow-blank-
eted West with the strongest eleven
it can produce to meet Michigan at
Ann Arbor on what promises to be q
field of snow. The Middies will work
on the Michigan field tomorrow and,
at the same time, Army will be ma
ncuvering in the bowl at New Haven
and Illinois will be busy at Franklin
Field, Philadelphia, in preparation for
the next days tussles.
Columbia and Cornell are primed for
struggle in New York with the 1th-
acans warned to watch the fast-mov-
ing Columbia captain, Pease. Cornell
has q powerful line and, if Wester
returns to the backfield, as expected
the team will be in superb condition
after a two weeks rest.
\ Columbia may resort to the open
play which Dartmouth used with great
success against Cornell at the Polo
Grounds a year ago.
CAPTAIN DENOTED.
Harvard is likely to enter the con-
test with William and Mary at Cam
bridge with a somewhat revamped line
up. In practice yesterday, Captain
Cheek worked with Team G, indicating
that he will not start the contest.
Caulkins has returned to call signals
for Princeton after injuries suffered
earlier in the season and undoubtedly
will see service against Swarthmore.
Syracuse, with its goal-line unfair
nished, is expected 10 have little trou
lie with Pennsylvania State as the
Nittany Lions have been beaten by
Georgia Tech and in their other games
have faced small colleges. Syracuse has
piled up 153 points against its oppo
nents.
