While most of the larger schools
have completed the major portion
of their gridiron schedules for 1929,
there still remains few open dates
and those will be plugged up.
The conference representatives
will consider invitations and award
dates for the state golf and tennis

Notre Dame and Indiana are not
included in the little state meet.
Nothing sensational appears on
the horizon and the meeting and

be speeded through and the time
given over to the coaches for their
individual conferences.

Bout at Miami Beach to Be
Refereed by Jack
Dempsey.
TO BUILD STADIUM
Tex May Scale Prices From
SIS to $40.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press STAFF Correspondent

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Jack
Sharkey of Boston and Young
Stribling of Georgia will meet in
a heavyweight bout at Miami Beach,
Fla, late in February or early in
March, if present plans of Tex
Rickard are not upset.
Jack Dempsey will referee the
bout and may announce his return
to the ring by challenging the win
ner from the ringside. Dempsey
already has promised Richard he
will referee the bout, and will meet
the promoter at Miami Beach Jan.
l to discuss his plans.
Expects Many Customers
Richard will build an outdoor
arena seating anywhere from $4,000
to 100000, patterned after Boyles
Thirty Acres stadium at Jersey City,
which was built for the Dempsey
Carpenter bout in 1923. The sta
dunn will be constructed so that
Rickard can increase the capacity
to- suit the crowd.
Teh Miami Chamber of Commerce
has promised Rickard its support
and other Florida organizations are
behind the proposed bout.
Tex Is Optomistic
Richard believes the bout will
draw $4,000 persons and a half mil
lion dollar gate. A bout between
Sharkey and Stribling in New York
would command a top price of at
least $40 and Rickard may be able
to scale his prices from SIS to $40 in
Florida.
A bout between Gene Tunney and
Young Stribling was planned for
Miami several years ago before
Tunney won the heavyweight title
but had to be called off because not
enough advance tickets were sold
to pay for the lumber to build the
cfa dunn
