MAL0NEY TO HAVE A BUSY CAMPAIGN
Rickard Picks Berlenbach and Hansen as Possible Opponents

New York, Dec. 24.|Ps- Tex Rickard has given his heavyweight fistic deck another shuffle, bring ing to the top Knute Hansen of Ra- cine, Wis, and Paul Berlenbach, former light heavyweight champion, as prospective opponents for Jimmy Maloney of Boston.
 After signing the conqucror of Harry Person to contract for three fights, Rickard announced that either Hansen or Berlenbach would be the next to sample the padded thumps of the the Hub contender Berlenbach's chances hinge on the outcome of his fight against Mike McTigue next month.
 In the offing there looms subse- quent fight for Maloney with the winner of q battle between Jack Sharkey and Paolina Uzcudun, the Basque woodchopper The Span ish contender, only remaining Euro pean entry in the tournament, will meet his Boston foe earl next year.
 Maloney's decisive triumph over Person has impressed the Madison Square Garden promoter. I'd like to sec Maloney and Dempsey have it out" Rickard said. "Maloney is the type that is very apt to make things interesting for Gene Tunney."
 While Rickard has been moving his heavyweight pawns with one hand, he has been lining up welter- weight and featherweight entries with the other. His next show on New Years night will mark the semi-final stage of an eliminatio.I featherweight series, bringing to- gether Red Chapman of Boston and Benny Bess of Philadelphia in the main ten-ronnd battle.
 The winner is to meet Honey Boy Finnegan of Boston, with rccogni- ton as champion by the New York state athletic commission awaiting the ultimate survivor.
 Babe Herman, California product, will fight Al Winller of Philadelphia in the semi final ten, while a third match over the same distance will bring together Carl Duane and Frankie Fink.

| Los Angeles. Dec. 24.-Jacl Dempsey will not know bcfor, March l, 1927. whether he will re. turn to the squared circle. That's then ex-champion's ow ultimatun.
 T will never fight again unless know in my own mind that I an, right" he declares. Tt will takt at least two months. maybe more of intensive training before I will begin 10 know whether I am my old self. I won't get a chance to dc any training except possibly q few light workouts before Christmas So it will be early spring before can make a decision. I don't want my friends to lose their money or me again.
 T have a lot of business to attend to at my hotel now. There were many things which needed my at tention when I returned from New York, and l am just getting them strengthened out. And now l have Christmas shopping. which will keep me busy for a while"
 Right after Christmas, Jack will turn his entire attention to getting in fighting trim. His training grounds will be Griffith Park, only a. few miles from his Hollywood home. That will enable him to re- main at home with his actress wife, Estelle Taylor Dempsey.
 If I do fight again it will be for Tex Rickard." Dempsey asserts He has promoted all my biggest fights. and I am going to stick by Ricllard will name my opponent, too. It may be Tunney. Rickard favors a re-match for early next summer. No, don't think the fight will be in New York-probably in Jersey City or Philadelphia. And I won't fight Wills after the things he said around New ! ork. He is out of the picture now, anyway"
 Dcmpsey's statement eliminates the possibility of q bout for him in Tijuana, Mexico, or Los Angeles, where promoters have been trying to sign him. He also spikes the re- port that he again will go into the movies.
 At present, his chief interest Is In his hotel. As a boniface he is q distinct success. In this respect his fighting has been q great help. He has travelcd over the entire country, stopping at the best hotels and thus learning how things should be done.
 When Dempsey and Kearns split. Dempsey took the Hotel Barbara as his share. At that time it sheltered two guests and was mortgaged for s250, ,00o. Today S5 per cent of the rooms always are occupied, tho mortgage has been paid off. and the hotel is showing a profit of s5o,000 a year.

County League Standing

The South Church defeated the Plainville Y. NJ. C. A. in bitterly contested senior county league game at the Boys club last night, finally gaining a 25-23 decision after two overtime periods had been played. The game was none too we'll played, plainville showing lack of practice and New Britain having a bad night, but it was tlercely fought all the way and the closeness of the score kept players and spectators constant ly on edge. Both teams showed at their best on the defense, nobody being able to get shot from near Inc basket Within two minutes of ,he start, Freddy Miller Tipped one of his longest kind in from past the center of the floor and Plainville went out in front by CA at the quar- ter and 10-G by halftime. The two teams were b ing forced to shoot far out in the court, and Ray Schwab and Bergen were eXcelling at this style of play, Plainville get ting two more points advantage and having a 1G-l0 lead when the third quarter ended.
 The South church came back. Mercy at last got his hook shot working. and Vessels, Bell. and Darta all jumped into the scoring. They tied the scoro at lS-lS, but Bergen sent Plainvile ahead again. Vessels scored free shot and, with i5 seconds left, Mercy gave New Britain the lead for the first time with a pretty flip. Bell fouled Mill CT with five seconds remaining, and Freddy tied the score at 21-2i. In the first overtime period the two teams fought desperately, but so close was the following of the bali that neither team had even a good shot at the basket. After the second extra session was half over. Vessels scored from the side court, but Smith took the next tap and tossed in a long shot for the only score of, the Plalnville forwards and for were left again when Mercy dropped in the score which made 1t "0-.3. Smith was fouled and had two free shots as the whistle blew. but he missed them both and the South church won.
 Bell. Mercy. and Vessels led the winners scoring, but the passing was below par and they had to shoot from awkward angles. Barta and May, although badly battered in the fierceness of the play, did great de- fensive work, holding the visiting forwards to a lone basket. Osborne, although heavily bandaged. played well while in the game. Captain Bergen and Ray Schwab were the ! all-around stars for Plainville, SCOT ing sensational shots and showing nice floor work.

HAS F0RTY-F|VE PLAYS FOR GAME
Coach Warner Plans to BeWilder
 Alabama'S Defense

Stanford University, Calif, Dec 2i-One of the two popular super stitions about Glenn Scobey Pop Warner already has been quashed by the scheduled New Years Day game between Stamford and Ala bama in Pasadena, The other may be proved just a superstition when the Crimson Tide meets the Big Red Horde in the Rose Bowl, New Years Day.
 It has been said Warner never loses to a team he has secuted. Proof of that myth was furnished when Pop" watched the University of Southern California play Wash ington State and then licked the Trojans 13 to 12.
 The companion piece 10 the scout ing story is that Warner neither makes diagrams nor takes notes on the team he is scouting. It is re- corded he took no notebooks with him to Los Angeles when he watch cd the Trojans early this season.
 Reporters for Atlanta sport pages claim the Stanford coach filled two or three composition books with diagrams of plays used by the Grim son Tide in it's game with Georgia on Thanksgiving Day in Birming- ham. Perhaps so. if it is true. is that forerunner to another Ala bama victory in the Rose Bowl?
 Warner returned to Stanford Dec. after having visited Birmingham. Ala. Chicago for the Army-Navy struggle, and Los Angeles for the Notre Dcme-C. S. c. contest. He immediately took over supervision of the work of his gridders for the conflict with Alabama that will de- eide, as nearly as it can be decided the football championship Of the United States.
 The venerable mentor" went to work on defensive tactics to be used against Coach Wallace Wade's team from Tuscaloosa. The entire week was devoted to defensive work. Of- fensive plays were polished up but TO new ones added. It is known Stanford had 45 plays for use against L. S. C. The board of strategy that gave the plays in the hudde in the Trojan contest forgot about half of the plays they had been armed with but Stanford won by the margin of placement kich in the try-at-point after touchdown.
 Several of those 45 plays still are new. They were not used against Washington nor the University of California in the closing games of the season. They may be tried against the Crimson Tide.
 Warner is apparently satisfied with his play equipment. Deception is the keynote of the Stanford at tack this season. It is derived from plays worked with the simple re- verse as basis Passes. line bucks, plays and end runs all evolve from the mystification gen. erated when Eff" Hoffman, full back, receives the ball from cen ter and either hands it to one of the backs swerving past him, dives the line himself, or re- treats to hurl a long pass.
 But, Warner does not fear the power Of the Crimson Tide. He has seen with his own eyes the power full Alabama forwards outcharge Georgia. He has witnessed the not too powerful backs make yardage on a fake end run that cuts through tackle and on an end run formation that is bulwarked by a fake at a pass. He knows what Stanford will need 10 offset the power of a team that he has said Has not a single
