HUDKINS BEATS MCGRAW
Detroit Battlcr Fails in Another At tempt to Beat Nebraska Wildcat in Garden,

New York, Oct. 30 P-Phil Me Graw, of Detroit, has failed in an other attempt to tame the Nebraska wildcat, Ace Hudkins.
 Although Hudkins was in need of som repairs today after his second .12-round fight with McGraw in Madison Square Garden he held the unanimous verdict of two judges and the referee after furiously fought contest before a throng of 1S,000 spectators last night,
 A majority of the ringside critics conceded Hudllins six of the rounds, gave McGraw five and called one even, but the former scored a knock down in the fourth round and had the Detroit boxer groggy with heavy punches in the fifth, when he frac- tured a small bone in his right hand.
 Hudkins had seven pound weight advantage, tipping the scales at 1391h to McGraw's 1321a.
 In the two ten-round matches, Billy Petrolle of Fargo, N. D., knocked out Hilaro Martinez, Span ish lightweight in the second round, while Sid Barbarian. of Detroit, drew with Tommy Farley, Philadel- phia lightweight.

FRENCH TENNIS PLAYERS

Supply of Home Brand Responsible For Improved Showing Of
 Court Stars

Plain red wine discovered late during their stay in the United States is responsible for the im- proved showing of the French Davis Cup players in the American cham pionships, as compared with their work in the finals against Japan and the Challenge Round against Ameri- ca.
 T simply could not get used to ice water" one of the returning players said. Tt stuck like a lump on my stomach. I could not get up sweat against Japan, and I was rotten against America. Then We had the visit of a friend from Mon treaL He carried two large suit cases"
 All the French Davis Cup players drink wine with their meals. Lacoste merely cuts his water about 25 per cent with wine, but Borotra, Cochet and Brugnon take their neat. Boro- tra admits that he even indulges moderately between meals.
 Tt will probably be great argu- ment for prohibition" Borotra vol unteered, that Lacoste. who drinks the greatest percentage of water of us four. won the championship of the world, defeating both Cochet and myself, but l am sure I play better tennis on Bordeaux than on aqua Durd'."

"No Hat" Custom Gains
 In Favor of Frenchmen

Paris, Oct. 30 P)-The "no-hat" custom launched some years ago by Robert Eudeline, then manager O Eugene Criqui. former feather- weight boxing champion, has grown very fast recently with the price of hats ranging from 100 to 200 francs. The number of hatless men on the Boulevards even in these cold Autumn days is extremely large.
 But opposition to the custom, hitherto confined to hat dealers, has now sprung up among governmentn functionaries. Chief clerks In the various ministries strolling through the offices were wont to overlook the momentary absence of their as- sistants, providing their hats were in the rack outside the office door. But when functionaries came to work without hat in the morning and then disappeared, the absence of both man and hat was regarded as sufficient proof to warrant the docking" of days pay.
 Now the Functionaries Union has ruled that all their members must wear their headpiece to work.

 HOrdeS Of GridiTOn Fans

Chicago. Oct. 30 GP}-The middle vests own football differences were overshadowed today by conflicts of national significance.
 Invasions by Pennsylvania and Georgia Tech, led the list of inter- sectionals a thome, while Michigan and Missouri were in the van of campaigning on Eastern fields.
 Six games only one or two were of any great importance In solving the 1926 Big Ten and Missouri Val ley riddles.
 National interest chiefly. centered In the fortunes of Michigan at Navy and Notre Dame against the Georgians. The Middies are the lone intersectional foe of the fall for the solverines, apparently headed for their second straight Big Ten title, whereas Tech, was one mile stone in Rockne's national gridiron campaign. Already he has downad two Big Ten teams, and Army and Southern California are the two big opponents remaining on the sched- ule.
 Notre Dame was favored to re- pulse the invasion at South Bend but Illinois was regarded as having probably it's stiffest test of the year against Pennsylvania. coming West to repeat the triumph. Registered over Chicago at Philadelphia. The Illinois. however, were entirely re- overed from their defeat at the hands of Michigan and where the customers were given the edge week ago, the game was called toss-up by the time some 60.O00 odd fans storming the Illinois stadium.
 In the western conference proper, the major gamo was the Minnesota Wisconsin clash at Madison, with Minnesota rated slight favorite to emerge as likely conference chal- lenger. The prospect of wonderful football from the Buckeye drew around 50,000 to staff field in spite Of the fact that Chicago was given virtually no chance against Ohio. Northwestern was conceded the sec ond easy triumph off 'the year over Indiana. Carroll college and In. diana normal were the respective opponents of Iowa and Purdue.
 In Missouri valley conference bat ties, Kansas was at Drake, with Drake given an edge. Nebraska was favored down Iowa state at Lincoln, and Oklahoma was rated a slight favorite over Washington at St. Louis
 None of the four leading teams in the valley race were engaged in con- ference games. Missouri being al West Virginia and the Kansas Az gies entertaining Arkansas at Man haitian. The Oklahoma Aggies and Grinnel enjoyed weekend respite
 Two other inter -sectionals on mid western gridirons were the Carnegie Tech-Detroit game at Detroit. and Bucknel's game against the Haskell Indians.
