HUDK|NS IS VICTOR
IN co WITH De V0S
American Boxer Gets Close
Decision in a SIugging
Bout With Belgian.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, December 29.-Putting
slashing finish on a dull boxing year,
Ace Hudkins, the Nebraska wildcat, mas
clawed his way to the position OF lead
ing contender for the world middle
weight championship.
He gained the prospect OF return
match with Mickey Walker by Slugglng
his way to close decision over Rene
De Cos of Belgium in Madison Square
Garden last night. HudkinS lost one
bout to Walker last Summer on de-
cision that met with the dlstavor OF
many fans.
The puncher from the corn country
and the Belgian Fox provided a spec
tacular show, battling on even terms up
to the final round. HudkinS won only
by his last round attack when he tore
into De Vos and forced him back in
spite of a gallant attempt to stand OF
the rush. Up to that time each had
won four rounds and one was even.
Many of the customers agreed with
Referee Lou Magnolia, who called the
scrap a draw, but the two judges agreed
that Hudkins had a Slight margin. +,
Keeping right on top OF his rival
every minute. the shaggy haired Hud-
kins gained the victory by aggressive
ness that could not be denied. He
kept boring steadily In, carrying the
fight to De Vos regardless of the punish
ment he received. The same tactics
brought him close to defeat in the
eighth and ninth rounds when the Bel
gian made slashing attack Of his
own, shooting in sharper, cleaner blows
that had Hukins groggy for a while.
Both fighters took plenty Of punches
during the battle and came out with a
good supply of cuts and bruises. De VoS
received a big welt over one eye, while
his ninth-round stand gave HudkinS
several cuts around the mouth.
Whether or not Hudkins will get an
other shot at the title or will remain in
the leading contender's role is open to
question. Walker has taken few chances
with the crown and before last nights
battle was decided it was announced in
Boston that the champion had agreed
to fight there February in non-title
bout. His opponent Is to be the winner
of another middle-weight contenders'
battle between Dave Shade and George
Courtney.

veteran band of siX-foot SharpshooterS

tonight by invading the lair of Pitts

scheduled games for tonight are: Chicago
at De Pauw Lombard at Wisconsin and
Cornell College of Iowa at Minnesota.
Although minus the services of its star
senior forward, Forrest Twogood, called
home by the death of his mother, Iowa
is the favorite, as the PantherS won
only one victory during their recent
invasion of Big Ten camps.
Undefeated in two starts, Wisconsin
was expected to have little difficulty in
defeating Lombard. The Badgers prob
ably will send the same team against
Lombard that defeated Franklin and
Pittsburgh.
After two weeks idleness because OF

doubtful team against De Pauw.
Minnesota, which has lost two out OF
four games, will wind up its preliminary
season against Cornell. The Gophers
have improved rapidly after a poor

WOMEN IN SPORT

Another postponement of the final
game of the Interplayground Basket
Ball League has been found necessary
because of the illness of Maude N.
Parker, director of girls playground
activities.
The game between Chevy Chase and
Garfield Fairgrounds, which is to de-
eide the title. was to have been played
this week and to be followed by a ban
quietin honor of the winning SQUAD.
Both affairs have been postponed until
after the New Year.
Chevy Chase and Garfield each have
won one game in the two-out-of-thre
game title series. Georgetown was the
1927 champion.
Team managers Of the Washington
Recreation League are requested to
send report Of their team personnel
and their own names and telephone
numbers to this column before the
opening of their schedule, so that these
may be published for the benefit of
other team leaders who desire to ar
range games with them. !.
Cooperation of all member teams IN
the league in this matter would be Sp-
preciated.

In it's conception of the long-and-
short pass attack Purdue planned
a comeback" when its forwards,
rushing down court, were driven
into a corner with the ball. That
is the problem No. has to solve in
the accompanying diagram.
If you will recall this plan of at
tack, the two forwards, No. and
No. 8, depended on a quick break
to give them lead on their guards.
This quick break enabled them, on
receiving q pass from No. 5, to drive
right to the basket. Sometimes the
lead thus gained was not enough
to permit the man supposed to make
the final drive and shot to get clear.
No. SIS guard sometimes caught up
with him and drove him into a
corner.
Every action in basket ball has to
be lightning fast If success is to
follow. In this case No. either
got the ball out to No. 5 or took a
shot at the basket. A hook pass
was used. The former was pref
erable, but If No. S was guarded
his one hope was to hook pass for
the basket, the stunt the player
sketched, is pulling. It's high leap
that permits one to get the ball
over his guards head. If the shot
was for the basket and missed, as
such a pass usually does, No. S
and No. 2 would drive in an ef-
fort. to get the rebound and make
a close shot.

4 COACHES gathered here today to
discuss the advisability of rec
ommending changes in the gridiron
rules.
While few Of the approximately 200
coaches and athletic directors here to
attend the annual meeting of the Ma
tional Association of Foot Ball Coaches
had indicated the budding of ideas for
the rules committee to ponder, most OF
the coaches informally expressed them
selves favoring the rules much as they
are.
One proposed recommendation, how
ever, which would revise the rule to
make a tumble dead at the point of
recovery met with favorable lobby COM
ment. Coach Fielding H. Yost Of the
University of Michigan told newspaper
men he favored such change, believ-
ing the loss of the ball was enough PEN
atty for such a mechanical error.
Coach Alonzo Stagg of the University
Of Chicago, a member of the rules COM
mittee, says he opposed change in the
rules.
Robert Neyland Of the University Of
Tennessee, whose team has lost but one
game in three years, summed up the
situation for many Of the coaches when
he declared to newspaper men that II
can't keep up with the rules now, so If
they keep changing them it seems we

BEAR AND TORNADO
PR|MED FOR GAME
Grid Forces Appear at Top
Form for Contest on
New Year Day.
BY VICTOR G. SIDLER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

PASADENA, Calf, December 90
The height of physical perfection
apparently had been reached today by
the foot ball forces of Georgia Tech
and California, which, on New Year
day, will clash in the Rose Bowl here.
Not desiring to lose players through
injury, Coach Clarence "Nibs" Price of
California, and Coach Bill Alexander of
Tech, said that the intervening time will
be devoted to shorter workouts than
have been in order.
From now on there will be no more
hard workouts for my team," was
Alexander's announcement. "I cannot
afford to lose any players through in
jury or illness and will devote most of
the time remaining to light practice
drills that will keep the condition of
the players at the peak"
Price stated that the Bears would
have rather sturdy drill today
shorter than the three-hour session of
yesterday-after which they may see a
high school game at the Los Angeles
Coliseum. There will be no practice
Sunday other than a skull drill at the
blackboard on Georgia Tech plays.
1t was long and fierce session that
Price sent his Bears through yesterday,
as the last tough workout before the
intersectional game. The practice was
climaxed by defensive work against
Georgia Tech plays, perhaps the first
real drill the Bears have undergone in
this department since the opening Of
practice eight days ago. The varsity
successfully stopped Golden Tornado
plays as run off by practice team.
Likelihood that Izzy Shulman and
Bob Randolph, substitutes, respectively,
at the flrst-string quarterback and full
back positions, would start against Cali
fornia appeared today. Coach Alexander
used them in the first-string lineup
yesterday, keeping Bob Durant and
Jack "Stumpy" Thomson, quarter and
half, on the bench. Father" Lumpkin
was shifted by the Tornado mentor to
right halfback, but Warner Mizell re-
NAMED in his usual left halfback berth
