molder of championship football teams.

the South Bend institution and de-
clared that he would never look for
position elsewhere unless he had
perfect understanding with Notre

This statement, it is understood,
will close the recent Columbia in.

coach are concerned. Both Rockne
and the faculty stated that there had
never been any misunderstanding be-

fact that Rockne is coaching under

cenary reasons for substituting a

HAWTHORNE C.
TEAM WINS
TITLE
Young Stars in Defeat Of
Harris Youngsters
in Final. 4

For the second time since the Junior
High School Football League was Or
ganized in 1922, the Glass &c" cham
pionship rests with Nathaniel Haw-
thorne. Coach Wright Riley's classy
little eleven won the smallest title
by defeating "Red" Irvine's Joel
Chandler Harris team, IS to 0, at
Block Stadium, Friday afternoon.
IT. was the ability of Young to
plunge through the Harris line for
substantial gains practically every
time he carried the ball, which gave
victory to the Hawthorne team. Al
though Porter made the second touch
down of the game, it was the sturdy
Young who broke down Harris de-
Tense by plunging across for a touch
down in the first quarter. Young's
45-yard dash in the fourth quarter
accounted for the third touchdown.
WHISTLE HALTS RALLY.
At no time did Harris threaten to
score until belated squirt in the last
few minutes of play gave it four first
downs. The final whistle cut the rally
short. Harris battled gamely on the
defense throughout, succeeding in
stopping the speedy Mahavier almost
in his tracks, but could do little
with Young.
Dominguez and Blunt featured the
Harris offense, while Hardin played q
demon defensive game. Censugois and
Bennett we're mainstays Of the Haw-
thorne defense.
LAST GAME TUESDAY.
The Nathaniel Hawthorne "B"
team will battle Thomas Nelson Page
Tuesday afternoon for the champion
ship of that division. Hawthorne was
defeated by Washington Irving for
the Class "a" title. making three

JUST KID KAPLAN'S TURN
TO BEAT HERMAN BY SHADE
! who follow the trend Of the sport parade?

NEW MADISON SQUARE GAR
DEN, n. Y, Dec. 19.-Louis Knp-
Ian, Of Meriden, Conn, called kid, 3"
got the decision over Babe Herman,
OF California, at the end of fifteen
tough, tugging rounds at the New
Madison Square Garden last night.
The fight was generally accepted
as being for the featherweight cham
pionship, the title turned over to the
New York State Athletic Commission
by Johnny Dundee. who won it from
Eugene Criqui, of France. Louis
Kid Kaplan won a tournament held
by the commission 10 determine
Dundee's successor, and has since
successfully defended the title.
About 5000 ring worms accepted
the decision TRANQUILITY. Only a bit
Of spectacular tumbling by Herman
in the tenth saved the affair from
being dull entertainment. Herman
went down from what you might call
the recoil of one Of his punches 10
Kaplan's hard dome, and the little
"Portugee" did a regular head spin
that set the crowd 10 buzzing.
IN-AND-OUTER.
Herman is a peculiar fighter. Like
the little girl with the curl, when he
is good he is very, very good, and
when he is bad he is not so good.
He is what the ring calls an in-and-
outer. Last night he fought steadily
but not with all his usual flash and
brilliancy. Kaplan won by sheer
perseverance, especially in the closing
rounds.
Herman is the better boxer az long
range, but Kaplan made up for that
by crowding in close and failing
Herman about the head and body.
There is one word that fits Kaplan
like a cap-rugged. He is all of that.
He never stops pressing and be has
plenty Of endurance.
Herman, who is a good solid hitter,
clipped him on the chin with rights
that would have bowled over a heavy
weight but Louie would only shake his
head and keep coming.
1t was close fight oil the way and
Kaplan's margin OF victory was not
wide.
Some Of the folks thought It could
have been called a draw.
In any event, according 10 those
who saw both battles, Kaplan didn't
beat Herman as far as Herman beat
Kaplan at Waterbury, Conn, last
summer when the fight was called a
draw.
1t always will be close between

PUTS
HERMAN ON
THE RUN
Has Edge in Eleven Of
Fifteen Rounds of
Dogged Scrap.

: NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-CpD-Louis
kid Kaplan's hold on the worlds
featherweight ring title was slightly
. more secure today as the result of
: convincing, but by no means over
: whelming decision over his persistent
! challenger, the erstwhile Californian,
Babe Herman, before 5000 specta-
tors in Madison Square Garden last
night.
In spite Of the fact that Kaplan's
second win within four months
against his most dangerous foe was
marked by frequent clinching and
wrestling, the contest at least cleared
the atmosphere of doubt which pre-
vailed after their first title clash last
August. at Waterbury, Conn.
s HERMAN WAS WINNER.
The draw verdict given the Meri-
den, Conn, tifle-holder after fifteen
hard-fought rounds in that bout was
received with almost unanimous dis
ayowal of visiting newspapermen who
considered that Herman was clearly
entitled to the verdict and the cham
pionship.
Kaplan's aggressive offensive last
night, however. won him the edge in
eleven of the fifteen rounds while but
two were carried by Herman, with
the remaining two rounds adjudged
even.
Herman was in steady retreat be-
fore the attack of the champion ex-
cept in the tenth and fourteenth,
when be rallied with singing right
hand drives TO the face. Twice he
took acrobatic plunges TO the canvas,
once in the tenth when he stumbled
and again in the fifteenth when he
Owed to the floor TO avoid a swing.
DEVOID OF THRILLS.
The bout was devoid of the spec
tacular features which colored their
SIX previous encounters, four of which
took place prior to Kaplan's winning
the 126-pound title. The mauling and
clinching accounted for considerable
punishment, however. and both men
bIed at the close, Kaplan from one
ear and Herman from cuts over his
right eye.
The weights were announced as :
kaplan, 125: Herman, 125 IA.

They have met so often they know

night was probably the least exciting
OF any they have had. They proba-
bly, will be matched again before long
because they usually give a great
show.
HERMAN DISAPPOINTED.
Herman was greatly disappointed
over the decision. He is as sure he
can lick Kaplan as Kaplan is sure he
can lick Herman and he thought last
night was TO be his big night.
He acquitted himself well. at that.
This kaplan is a far better fighter
than he is generally rated and losing
to him by a close margin merely makes
Herman a good fighter. l think the
time will come when the stubby, scar
red little man from Meridian will be
classed as really great fighter.
There is nothing fancy about him, but
he can fight.

Comptroller General Refuses
to Stop Deducting From
Navy Mems Pay

Comptroller General McCarl win
stand pat on his policies despite
the rulings Of the District Court
Of Appeals.
Officials said today the Comp
troller General would not modify
his Interpretation of the law be-
cause OF court decision In the
case of naval officers whose pay
is being reduced because Of back
money they owe the Federal Gov
eminent.
The case will be carried to the
Supreme Court, as will other cases
involving jurisdiction of the Comp
troller Generals office.
Opponents of the Comptroller
General, however, are convinced he
not only will suffer set back in
the Supreme Court, but that Con-
gress will enact legislation at the
coming session which will reorgan-
lie his office and reduce his power.
The Administration is not inVolv-
ed in the controversy over McCarl's
decision. the latter being responsible
to Congress alone. For that rea-
son his oppoents have not carried
the fight to the President, but IN
tend to wait until Congress meets.
They are greatly encouraged by
the decision of the District Court
of Appeals and believe it means the
end of the alleged autocratic pol.
icies of the Comptroller General.
