GENE TUNNEY THINKS But LITTLE

NEW YORK, Nov. 4 lP = Gene
Tunney is 80 sick of seeing his silly
expression" as he reclined on the can
vas in the seventh round of his last
fight with Jack Dempsey, that the
heavyweight champion mas no further
desire to see the motion picture OF the
battle.
''I've seen the movies six times al
ready" he said, but can't go again.
There's another fight coming, you
know, and I'm afraid that woosy ex-
preston of mine will leave disastrous
impression on me. 1 want to forget
it,"
The champion, .uddy and in good
humor, was talking informally to a
gathering of business men and fight
fans at the Princeton club. 1t was an
affair given jointly in his honor, as
well as that of Tommy Loughran,
light heavyweight title claimant, by

''I never will be. I'm through kidding
myself about that and attempting to

movies.
"But the one experience I had

"The man who swings the most

called for lot of knockout wallops.
They looked like the real thing when
run off the screen, but as a matter of
fact not one solid punch was landed" "
Tunney's discussion emphasizes the
idea that the motion pictures of the
fight have furnished the perfect
"ballyhoO" for o third match between
Tunney and Dempsey. Without Tex
Rickard having lifted a single promot-

swept by a debate over the now his

WILL FIGHT IT.
OUT FOR CROWN

CEDAR CREST COUNTRY CLUB,
DALLAS, Texas, Nov. A R)-Walter
Hagen, .'the invincible" of the links,
and Joe Turnesa, EI1nsford, N Y,
flash, hurdled the last barriers of a
great field of golfers today to = hit it
out tomorrow for the championship of
the Professional Golfers association
Hagen, who halls from Pasadena,
Fla, putted to one of his trypical
triurnphs over AL Espinosa of Chicago,
on 3the 37th hole of their semi-final
match. 1.-THE T4aig' already has won
the professional golf title four times.
Turnesa gained the final bracket in
a runaway match with John Golden
of Patterson, N, j., whose putter acted
like a sore thumb today, and forced
him to bow and before the hand
some Ang1o-Italian from New York.
Espinosa put up one of the greatest
battles of the, tournament against
Hagen. The Chicagoan won holes with
his putter and niblick when his longer
clubs deserted him, but the strain on
the last nine robbed him of the serv-
ices of these tickle friends, and he
was in trouble on the 36th and 37th
greens, while Hagen was dropping his
safe pars.
Turnesa played perfect golf in the
morning round, every shot almost taxi
ing the shortest line to the pin and
every first putt either dropping for a
birdie or hanging on the lip of the cup
for a sure par Golden, on the othee'
hand, was far off his putting game.
He could not gel Close enough to the
pin to be sure Of his next putt and he
failed to win hole all morning, shoot
ing 81, while TurneSa turned in 33,
two under par on the first nine and
finished the round in a par II.
The Hagen match was ragged in
many spots, but the dramatic fighting
comebackS which each man made time
and time again, added an electric
quality to it which the Turnesa match
lacked.
Tomorrow's battle will be battle
between youth and age. and the novice
and the veteran. It will also contain
a slight element of revenue, as TurneSa
was eliminated IN the first round OF
the P. q. a. event last year by Hagen.
TurneSa is no stranger to major COM
petition, haying been runner up IN
the open Of 1926, but he has never won
a big classic, and compared to the
much be-titled Hagen, he is new
conner in the finalist ranks. Turnesa
is q years old and Hagen is IS.
The Scotch, who invented the ancient
and honored game, will not have a
show for the title, as Turnesa is an
Anglo-Italian and Hagen an Anglo
Irishman.

feated elevens of the section, tonight
wrinkled the brows of many pigslzin
prophet who strove to analyze the
tickle fortunes of the gridiron
Just as eastern fandom will con-
centrate tomorrow at Philadelphia for
the first clash of Harvard and Penn
sylvania in % years, at Princeton, for
the Tiger intersectional classic with
Ohio State, and at Pittsburgh for the
time-honored meeting of the Panther
and Washington and Jefferson, so did
critics concentrate tonight on the
chances of each for victory.
At least 10000 fans will gather at
Pittsburgh for a battle of undefeated
elevens with a sterling duel Of crack
backs and relentless lines in prospect
and the eastern title hopes of each
team are at stake. Washington and
jefferson has built an all-conquering
offense about Bill Amos, fullback star
and Pittsburgh will have the services
of the flashy "Gibby' Welch, a hip
shifting demon in the Panther rush
this season. Although the teams ap-
pear closely matched, Pittsburgh made
slightly better showing against West
Virginia, whom both conquered.
Despite the comparatively poor
records of Harvard and Penn meeting
in Franklin field before 10000 spec
tators for the first time in % years,
all the thrills of their clashes in the
early days of the game may be un-
folded before the huge gathering.
Penn, with granite defense but little
offensive power, has cropped three
straight decisions, while Harvard, with
habit of losing every other Saturday
apparently hit its stride in conquering
Indiana last Saturday. The "first
guessers" give the Crimson a slight
edge.

round. Pro-Dempsey and pro- -Tunney
adherents argue themselves hoarse.
The only way, of course, that such a
debate can be settled issin the ring, so

Tommy Loughran sat the same

to sit in the ring, with Tunney in the
opposite corner, and the worlds title
at stake.
Like Gene, Tommy is climbing the
ladder by way of the light heavyweight
rung, when they were both in that
class, also somewhat obscure, five
years ago, they fought in Philadelphia.
1t was an eight-round no-decision af1
fair, but Tommy, recalling the bout,
believes Tunney landed one blow that
was the hardest he ever felt.
