FEATHER TITLE MAY BE DECIDED Two Important Boxing Matches
 toBe Staged Next Week

Chicago. Feb. 1 (UP)-Entangled in controversy for several months, 1 the fcatherweight boxers now seem to have reached a condition which may lead to recognized worlds champion.
 The muddled situation will be con- siderably clarified next week when |, two of the most important matches made among featherweights in two years will be held.
 In Chicago, Bud Taylor, world's bantamweight champion. who has his eyes on the featherweight title, will meet Joey Sangor. the Milwau- kee contender. Thursday night.
 On the next evening, Benny Bass. recognized as champion by the Na- tional Boxing association. and Tony Canzoneri. the New York commits sion's champion. will fight in New York.
 Although Sansor has beaten Fay Tor two of the three times they fought, 1t would seem that Bud. by his recent showings. should so into the bout as favorite.
 The first Taylor -Sangor fight oc- cured in Los Angeles. two years ago yesterday Taylor got the de- cision in ten rounds. The two met again in Milwaukee on November 29, 1926. and Sangor closed Taylor's eyes in the second round. forcing Bud to take the defensive and de- feat. Their third meeting on the coast last year resulted in Sangor's getting a shade.
 Since it seems certain that both the N. B. A. and the New York commission vii recognize as cham. pion the winner of the Bass Cam boneri bout it is reasonable to sup pose that the next featherweight championship battle will be between the winners of next weeks fights.

 NAVY NEXT YEAR
Tiger to Replace Army on Mid. shipments Gridhon Schedule

New York. Feb. { R)-Navy will meet Princeton on tho football field
 next fall. the Tiger replacing the army on the Middies' schedule owing to the breach between the two serv- ice institutions over the three year eligibility rule enforced by the naval academy.
 Meanwhile. indications arc that
 West Point will fill the gap left open
 by the navy by playing Nebraska
 university. Although no definite an-
 nouncement has been made. as in the case of Nayy-Princeton. officials of Army and Nebraska are now ne- gotiating for the contest.
 In addition to the game down for Nov. :4 between Navy and Princeton, two other contests for 1929 and 1880 have been decided upon by these in- stitutions. However. the games in the years succeeding the coming season call for October dates there by presenting an opening for a re- vival of the Army Navy classic next year.
 Although 1t had been generally known Princeton would play the Navy next fall in the event the diff ferences with the Army were not patched up, the news of series be- tween Princeton and the Midship- men broke as surprise.
 The arrangements were announced by Rear Admiral Louis M. Mutton. superintendent of the naval academy and Dr. Charles W. Kennedy. chair man of the Princeton board of ath- letic control.
 In accepting the Nov. c4 date, Princeton set aside a. half century old tradition as it will be tho first time since the foundation of football at Jungletown that Princeton will oppose another college eleven after the historic Yale-Princcton battle. The contest with Navy comes one week after the 52nd meeting between Princeton and Yale. which is the oldest gridiron rivalry in tho land.
 Since 1909. Princeton and the Navy have clashed in football eight times. Princeton holding the edge with three games won 10 the Navy's two. while three were tied. The Middies were victors in the last en- counter by 27 to l3 in 1926. No further effort will be made to
 restore relations between the Army and Navy according to an announce ment from Annapolis. Princeton and
 Navy followers are reported to be
 heartily in favor of the renewal of the newly adopted series.
 The matter of site for the 1 Princeton Navy contest is indefinite i but it.will be placed in Philadelphia
 this year The Naval academy has
 an option on Franklin field for Nov.
 :4 but the municipal stadium is also
 under consideration.
 Each arena has capacity for | l0o.0 .0o0 or more persons.
 As to the games scheduled for / 1929 and 1880. it is understood they will be placed at Princeton. 1 No comments were forthcoming ! from Army officials on the action at ! the Naval academy. Herbert D. Gish. 1 graduate manager of athletics at Ne 1 braska who has been here negotiat- 1 ing for a football date with the 1 Army, is cn route 10 LincoN. Eeb. 1 It was repotrcd he would confer
 with one of the prospective oppon-
 cnts on Nebraska's schedule on the matter of changing dates which
 might have ! bearing on the pend ing Army Nebraska tilt.

 Bushes. Alexander B. Williams 4; stops. Rlount 76. Purcell 5s; fouls. Pierce. Brown. Alexander, Morrison; referee, Rorty.
 Steve Pierce and his Meriden Maroons will take the floor against the New Britain roller hockey team at the Stanley Arena tomorrow aft ernoon in an American league game. Tho Meriden team. rated as one of the speediest combinations ever as- sembled together in roller hockey. has proved to be one of the best drawing cards in the league and after being without hockey for the past week. the fans of the city are eager to watch the game again.
 Meriden has two of the greatest end fastest rushes in the circuit in Kid" Williams and Pierce. These two are not only experts on roller skates, but they are among the most clever ball carriers the league knows. Pierce. although not con- sidered as great as his father the tar-famed "Dicky" Pierce of the old days, is absolutely the greatest play. CT in the game today and his clev- crness makes Meriden the most feared combination in the business.
 Supporting the two forwards is Lundeville. & Meriden boy, at center. Lundeville played for a time in the second rush position but he is going much better as pivot man. Morri- son Is halfback and "Corky" Pur- cell is the goalie and better de- fensive combination is hard to find
 New Britain's hopes will be placed on Boucher and Alexander. whose work during the present season has kept the New Britain team among the leaders. Archie fPop) Muir head will be at center while New Britain's great defensive pair. Brown and Blount. were never in better shape than they are at the present time.
 Two teams in the amateur league will clash in the preliminary tomor- row afternoon. This will start promptly at 2;30 o'clock and the league game will get under way at ::30 o'clock.

C0DIFY THELAW
 HUGHES BELIEVES
Vllh te Dblns International St,tlts Regarding "Asylum''

HaSaaa, Jan. 27.-(UP)-A defi- nittoa Of international law. especial ly.as regards asylum-by which for eigness are given the hospitality and protection of a government while on that governments eoil-is one of the essential parts of qualification of international law. Charles Evans Hughes, believed.
 What is Needed
 This was brought out at meet ing of tho international law com- mittee of the sixth Pan-American conference.
 Hughes said what is needed Is not to develop new ideas but to state conciseiy and accurately what the law is."
 T do not understand when we have assembled here in relation to projects for qualification of interna- tional law. we are to develop ideas and possible conflict of view as to what tia& law ought to be, We shall have . great deal Of labor in en- dsavoring to state conctsely and &C., surately what the law is.
 'lf ws attempt to legislate and to Deepose the various improvements iD the law which we think will be Neueficaal. ws should need a good lAal of preparation for the confer eaeo which has not been had for tAi0 particular enterprise upon WhieA VI are engaged.
 COdify Law
 ~lt ossms to me that all through the discussions the projects submit tsd hg the commission of jurists, we should have constantly in mind our purpose to codify international law. That, of course. does not mean that thsre are not difficulties of inter- yreta1ion which may be solved: that questions may not arise as to which tAsre may be differences of opinion with respect to expresson, or even of content which may be resolved. It does mean, however. that we have the object of stating the law as it is, and not the object of stating what VI know is not tho law. but what we think might be made the law by some method of international agree ment."
 Referring back to his reservation e the principle of asylum Hughes saId:
 "Wlu the commission dealing w4tA pFivsta International law or what VI call conflict of law the dtslte, ' to bring uniformity where there lG recognized diversity."'

 There is a motto over the Har- yard gates saying Enter and grow in wisdom: depart to better serve. I would like to put that motto over the archway to every factory in America.
 America, Promised Land
 Tn the past century over B mill lion people came to this country. They turned their backs on their old homes for the hopes and desires of promised land.
 "Often the immigrant Is lonesome and homesick. He is in a strange place; he doesn't know the people; he cant speak the language. The result is he is lost. He seeks his own kind and then we have condi- tons such as there are in New York where we have a second Italy.
 But your immigrant does not stop there. He goes to your public libraries and there he learns about his new country. He sees there the busts of Washington and Lincoln, but he sees also the busts of Marco Polo and Garibaldi and he feels al home.
 "The trouble is Ellis Island is toe near us. We don't know enough about 1t.
 "One million, two hundred and fifty thousand people came to this country in 1907. That's what start ed the legislation against immigra, ton. But of this number. 85 per cent were between the ages Of IA and 45--the very vigor and force o1 all Europe. They are the ones whe dig our coal, they sweep our streets operate our railroads, That is, they did one time.
 Tn one place in Montana there is colony of Italians and q colony oi Japanese side by side-the very ends of the earth are meeting there. We call them new people, They are ths eldest people in the world: we are the new people. We ale only 15( years old.

 T presume every other'republican in Massachusetts feels as l do," Gillett said in a public statement, that we should prefer President Coolidge to anybody else. Except for his own refusal, he would un- doubtedly have been tho candidate.
 But when he first issued hts statement I believed he was per- fectly sincere and would not con- sent to run, and his whole subse- quent conduct has confirmed me in that opinion. So have felt that those who were looked upon as his particular friends. especially those in Massachusetts, ought to take him at his word and seek other candl- dates for If his intimate friends still pushed his candidacy 1t would give countenance to the argument of those unfriendly cynicS who as- sert that his refusal was a mere feature made simply to enhance his own popularity"
