BOXER IN CRITICAL
SHAPE AFTER BOUT

CHICAGO, November (P).-Billy
Showers, youthful st. Paul middle
weight boxer, was believed to be in a
critical condition today, suffering from
either conclusion of the brain, a
hemorrhage or fracture at the base of
the brain, as the result of vicious ring
battle with Shuttle Callahan of Chicago.
After absorbing terrific punish
ment in the scheduled 1O-round bout at
White City last night, Showers COL
lapsed and fell unconscious in the sixth
round. After physicians had worked
for As minutes attempting to revive
him, pulmoter squad from nearby
fire department was called but it also
failed. He then was taken to hospital.
Callahan had several stitches taken
over his eye to close bad wound Suf-
fered in the fight and then was taken
into custody under no charge by the
police, pending outcome of Showers
injuries.
Packing a pile driving punch that
has knocked out all three of his OPP
ponentS in his latest comeback cam
paign, Callahan floored the st. Paul
fighter three times with vicious blows
to the head.
The bell saved Showers at the end
Of the f1fht round and he reeled to his
corner. Restoratives were applied and
he came back for more punishment in
the sixth. only to be battered to the
canvas with another heavy barrage to
the head. His second tossed in the
towel as a sign of surrender and he
was helped to his corner. After a few
seconds, he slumped off his chair.
At the hospital, Showers was in a
semi-comatose condition and repeated
that his head was buzzing and very
sore.

Promoter Mique Malloy we're taken
along with Callahan, to the WoodIawn
avenue station, but released after few

BY SOL METZGER.

When Wake Forest meets the
strong Duke University team at
Durham Saturday, an eleven that
Jimmy DeHart, former Pitt ALL
American back, has developed to a
high point, there is a pretty good
chance that Wake Forest. in an eff
fort to regain its lost prestige in
Southern foot hall, will reach deep
into its bag of tricks and emerge
with the three-men-ou style of at
tack with which Hank" Clarity
put it on the Southern foot ball map.
One of the fine surprise plays of
this formation occurs when the No.
and No. players shift from the
black dots to the other positions
shown by these numbers in the dia-
gram in order to put No. 6 on the
end of the line and thus make him
eligible to receive forward pass.
This play usually follows the long
passes shown last week that feature
attack from this formation.
When the center snaps the ball to
No. 4, who gives ground to the right
rear while the three-men-out. Nos.
2, 8 and 5, and the other end, No. 8,
beat it down field to draw down the
defensive backs, No. 6 merely turns
around in his position. puts up his
hands and takes the pass from No.
4. The defense evolved to stop this
play was to have the defensive back,
the opposing center in this case. be
on the alert for it. He would rush
up and tackle No. as he caught
the pass. That is the defense Fur
man used to stop this play. Where
upon South Carolina improved upon
it with another that will be shown
tomorrow.

Golf Declared to Be
Left-Handed Stroke

The golfer who plays above 90
should pay special attention to
driving with his left. Golf is a
left-handed stroke, and one has
sufficient power in the long pull
ing muscles of that arm to get the
ball out we'll over 200 yards. OF
course, greater length can be OBJ
tanned by putting in the finishing
punch with the right. But the rub
comes from the fact that improper
use of the right in the swing Is the
cause of most faults.
You hear good player say, when
he hooks, Il got too much right
into that one" or when he slices,
II got my right in too soon." So,
the use of the right leads to many
troubles. To apply it correctly one
has to be exact in his timing.
whereas by using the left almost
entirely the dub will get better
average results. When he masters
hitting with the left, then is the
time to begin experimenting with a
right finishing blow.
When that time comes never let
the right get in any power until
the club is half way down, where I
nave sketched Mac Smith, and then
punch straight through with it on
the line of flight so your club will
follow out on line as Hagen's is do
ing in the sketch. If you pronate
(roll the wrists so the right hand
goes over the left at contacD you
will not keep the clubhead on the
line of fight long enough to insure
holding the ball on the line.

teams of the Southern conference

race coming to a close, it is expected
that all the teams will throw that
last bit of energy into the wooing of

Tennessee has her chance to
show that she has q team worthy

by Kentucky. If Florida wants the
game at Knoxville, she's got to do
some tall reaching.
Then, Georgia Tech, so far unde-
feated, takes on her old rival. the
Georgia Bulldogs, in Atlanta.
Georgia went bowling along last
season, upsetting everything. Then
came the dawn-Tech's record was
not SO "swanky," having been beaten
by Notre Dame and tied by Wander
pilt. But it didn't keep the tor
nado from spinning the Bulldogs
around for a IL to count.
Techs coaches probably are tell

hind. Probably it would take all
