EUROPEAN BOXERS
GET EVERY CHANCE

NEW YORK. Dec. 2S.-P)-
European boxers have been shown
during the past few weeks that there
is no discrimination against them on
silis side of the Atlantic.
In all divisions, except the heavy
weight, there is opportunity for the
invader and this fact will be given an-
other demonstration on New Years
night when Roland Todd. former mid
dleweight king of Grcat Britain. now
on his second visit 10 this country,
encounters one of the best battlers at
his weight in America, Dave Shade
of California.
EdOuard MascaTt came from France
10 dispute feathcrweight claims, but
failed before he reached the cham
pion. Kaplan. Little Ernie Jarvis or
England was given every opportunity.
Frank Moody OF England faced some
first-class performers. Late this month
Tommy Milligan OF Scotland will meet
Mickey Walker. world welterweight
champion, in n title contest.
Todd's bout with Shade Friday
night in Madison Square Garden will
not be a title affair. but success for
the Englishman will place him high
among the challengcrs for the crown
now worn by Hary Greb Of Pitts
burgh.
Shade. who for a long tine, disput-
ed the claims OF Mickey Walker, still
insists that he is weller, but will go
against Todd rs a middleweight.
As to the heavyweight division,
America would welcome any man from
anywhere between the poles il bit

reed not be concerned about that. \
fine way to get the idea of the pivot
is this: Start the club. for deinonstra-
ton purposes only, back from the
ball. then stop it when it is about
two feet back. Now push the left
shoulder around. disregarding the club
entirely, until the left shoulder points
down toward the ball. That is the
pivot. and that's all there is to it.
Practice it some and you will soon
have it.

PENALTY FOR "NECKINC"

NEW YORK. Dec. 2S.---CP)--Col-
legc football has two faults. in the
opinion of the Eastern Association of
intercollegiate Football Officials,
which has made four recommended
lions for changes to the rules com
mittee.
Three Of the proposals have to do
with unnecessary rOughness. IL is rec
commended that tackles above the
shoulders be placed in that category
in the future. If this measure is ac-
cepted. such a tackle will result in
penalty of fifteen yards.
Years ago, high tackling contributed
so many injuries TO the game that
many officials and coaches contended
that the rules should prevent tacklinG
above the waist. There was much ar
gument and finally the majority OF
leaders in the gridiron sport was con-

charge or prying in himself. could
