WAR CLOUDS LOOM
OVER HEAVY BATTLE
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 11.-War
clouds gathered over the boxing world
today with promoters wrangling over
who will stage the next heavyweight
championship fight for Gene Tunney
Jim Mullen. Chicago promoter,
wired newspapers that he would come
to New York prepared to sign the
champion for a title bout in Chicago
next Summer.
Humbert Fugazy, Richards oppo.
nent in the metropolitan district. de
clared he was ready to guarantee the
champion $500, 900 for his next bout
Fugazy said he had permission from
Chairman James A. Farley of the
Boxing Commission to stage the fight
in New York, with the Yankee Sta
dunn as a prospective arena.
Tunney at Spectator. n. Y, said 1t
was common knowledge that Rickard
was Jack Dempsey's pilot behind the
scenes" and that Leo p. Flynn was
Dempsey's manager in name only.
Tunney asserted he was in no way
under Richards management. Billy
Gibson. Tunney's manager, pointed
out that while Tunney was under
contract to fight for Rickard once in
1928, there was no reason why he
could not fight for some one else as
well.
Rickard expressed confidence that
Tunney would fight for him next year.
While Rickard has a contract from
Tunney, the Boxing Commissions at.
titude here has been that a promoter
must show contracts from both prin.
cipals in bout to be recognized.
Fugazy said he had plans for match.

"When you reach the top OF
your backswing for a mashie the
line Of vision Is directly over your
left shoulder. Your head and body
must remain still. At this point
you must have in mind that you
are trying to make q direct hit at
the ball with the open face of your
club" writes Dewey Longworth, an
expert with this club.
Longworth lifts the left heel
slightly at the top OF his mashie
backswing. Barnes keeps it on the
ground, resting his balance on the
inside Of his foot. Sarazen is al.
most fiat on the ground with both
feet. But all OF the stars shift the
bulk Of their weight at this point
to the right leg.
Here il the point in mashie play
where YOU make or break the shot.
Some players start hitting from the
top. The result Is they straighten
the right arm and shove the LETT
from the body. That causes a slice.
rarely a hook. though a tendency
in this case is to roll the wrists
through and pull badly. To insure
making the right start begin pull
ing down with a straight left arm,
keeping it close to the body.
And at the top have the wrists
cooked, bent so that the back OF
the left hand Is on plane running
toward the hole. sUncocking these
wrists on the downswing gives the
zip that cuts under the ball, inn
parting both loft and backspin. q
pair of virtues that go hand in hand
ON pitch shots. Tomorrow, the

ANYTHING Of the sort in that section
of the country. 1t Is derived from a
complete knowledge on the part OF
Knute Rockne of every shift and' turn
in offensive foot ball. He is blessed
with the faculty of what may be
termed the shorthand" system OF
teaching defense. This is, of course.
in good measure due to the fact that

lowing the ball, and so forth. Hence
with his team equipped basically and
with his knowledge of general foot
ball offense, he is able to spend less
time on defense than on attack and
yet apply the one as thoroughly as
the other.
There ought not to be many scores
in Saturdays game. and an Army

Some other mighty interesting

the probable winners are herewith

Princeton-Yale This ought to be

Of thrills. Yale has a fine line. at

limited offerse. To date the Eli line

wall should. AS a consequence Yale

of the Tigers strength. but last

team and showed great strength in
the line. It is not assuming too
equally as fine as that of Yale. On
the other hand, Princeton has q more
versatile attack and better balanced
back field. and this applies whether
or not Bruce Caldwell plays for
Yale. It seems questionable whether
the Yale attack will function effec-
lively against a highly qualified line
and Yale's forward passing attack
has shown nothing to date that would
stamp it as a real threat. The Tigers
have the edge.
Michigan.Navy-On Michigan's home

Gilbert in working order, it looks as

The fortunes Of Notre Dame and the
Army this season give the South Bend
team the edge in the coming battle
at the Yankee Stadium.
Yet this is not allowing for the
November rush of the Cadets to form
they have not hitherto approached.
The fact is that the Army has been
coming and coming fast since the
Yale game. In that contest 1t showed
the potential power which lay in the
OUTFIT and gave more than a hint OF
a strong and varied attack lying In
the future.
Army Should be Strong.
Saturday should see West Point
represented by a team somewhat
above the Army standard, which is
excellent. Right now it may be
ranked among the strong elevens OF
the country. It will show q drive on
defense which in the shocks and jars
it provides is quite likely to amount to
offense, And on attack it will be sur
prising if the team does not show
versatility unusual in Army elevens.
There are excellent chances that the
game will show that eagle. Wilson
and Murrel are not the only accom-.
plishehd backfield artists on the west
Point squad. The line, which has
been a bit soggy all season, outside
the ends, is due for a rise.
All in all, this Army eleven may
well surprise a lot of foot ball follow.
ers, including the Notre Dame team.
Much will depend upon the way the
ends handle the Notre Dame attack.
Unless Rockne has changed his OF.
fensive methods completely-and there
is no reason now to think that he
has-it is quite likely that those &C.
complished Army wingmen will not
fall for those traps, such as inviting
holes in the offensive line. which
Rockne so cunningly devises. There
probably will be lot Of nice defensive
work on the part Of the Army. in

hands, fight back the offensive ends

their part with no little ferocity.
