Flowers Manager Protests
The middleweight champion situa-
ton has been brought to the asso-
cations attention through protest Of
Walk Miller, manager Of Tiger
Flowers, the former titleholder. Mil
Ter has contended that Jack Kearns,
manager of Walker, failed to carry
out a contract which provided that
Walker meet Flowers within 80 days,
should the Georgia deacon lose his
championship in their fight here last
April. j.
Miller has insisted that Kearns re-
fused to carry out the terms of the
contract, and for that reason he will
ask the association to have Walkers
title taken away from him and re-
stored to Flowers, or that Walker be
compelled to fight Flowers again.
There has been little comment by
the association members on the mid
dleweight situation, but there was q
feeling among the commissioners to-
day that Mandell has not been active
enough in defending his lightweight
crown. Mandell has signed to de-
fend his title in Chicago November
IA.
The repeal of the federal law pro-
hibiting the interstate transportation
of fight films was to be considered.
Members of the association said that
fight fans in their own states should
be privileged to witness the show
ing of pictures of battles fought in
other states, especially where boxing
is legalized.

Bison Unable to Stop Smash
ing, Tearing Attack of Team
From Bookings

Fargo, Oct. 17.-(R-South Da-
kota State, 1926 champions Of the
North Central conference, took a
stride in seven-league boots here
towards the 1927 honors when they
defeated the North Dakota Bison,
SO to 0.
The Jackrabbits outcharged, out
blocked, outran and outpassed the
Bison, carrying away as deserved a
victory as could be.
Bison Offense Weak
In the face Of the stalwart de-
Tense offered by the Bunnies, the
offense Of the fellow and green clad
warriors appeared woefully weak.
Time after time the big blue jer-
seys which covered the uppers of
the State linemen were smashing
into Bison backfield before the Of
Tense could begin to function.
And, the few times the Bison Of
Tense really did get formed and
started, the blockers might as we'll
have been at home, TO- they were
useless. Polly Guertin, sophomore
back from Grafton, was the big gun
of the Bison offense solely because
he possesses a great pain Of legs
sponsored by q real fighting heart.
Guertin proved that he har great
possibilities as ball carrier and he
made more ground, green and mex
perienced as he is, than any fair
minded critic might expect under
the circumstances.
Guertin's offensive work was the
salient feature of the Bison play.
He stared fast behind the line Of
scrimmage and always had some
thing left for q final lunge when
assailed by the tacklers. He had
little opportunity to show his abil-
ity in broken field, as States de-
Tense was rarely scattered.
Newgard Is Steady
Other Bison performed well in
that losing battle but they coult not
carry on with any degree Of consist
ency, so well did States line d. its
duty. George Newgard and George
Hays were steady on the outposts
while Mike Sulli,;an flashed an &C.

he was in the gam. George Fisher
and Cod Ordahl took turns at the
center post, and they held their own
throughout, Ordahl. having Q little

Peter Gergen, Bison fullback, was
removed from the game early in the
first period when an old injury was

field in 1927 college football ranks,
a keen race already has developed
for the other honors.
October performances are not al
ways the deciding factor but they
have at least frightened the all
American prospects of a flock Of
stars. Not the least Of them is
Myles Lane, Dartmouth's shifty ball
carrier, who leads the eastern scor-
ers by wide margin, and Christy
Flanagan, climax runner Of Notre
Danes backfield assortment.
Princeton Has Brace of Stars
Princeton has a brace of stars in
Baruch and Edd Wittmore. Yale an

ing's for fullback honors while
Spears Of Vanderbilt and Drury of
Southern California will be watched
in other sections.
There will be scores of other can
didates, before the season ends,
dashing in pursuit of the mythical
honors held last season by Baker of
Northwestern, Kaer of Southern
California and Friedman of Michi-

lege moleskins last season.
Robins Bolster Club
Brooklyn has q habit of figuring
as pennant contender every four
years, which may have something to
do with the fact that the Robins are
putting forth unusual efforts to boil
ster the club for the 1923 National
League race.
The signing Of Dave Bancroft,
manager and shortstop Of the Bos-
ton Braves, is the first move in the
reconstruction process. Xxi Cuyler,
Pirate outfielder, who was exiled
from competition in the latter part
Of the season, also is being sought
by Brooklyn to strengthen the outer
works.
