sBs IN WIN oE
 
BAKER TO BATTLE
 HUDKINS TONIGHT
Result Will Determine Chd.
 leuger for WdtrVeight Title

New York, Feb. 1T R,-Ace Hud- kins and Sammy Baker meet in . ten round bout at Madison Square Garden tonight to determine who shall be the challenger for the vel terweight crown now guarded by Joe Dundee of Baltimore.
 A furry has been occasioned by reports that Hudkins was having difficulty in making the weight limit of 147 pounds. He has been quoted as | {. to 1 favorite to win.
 Baker. the soldier-bo of Mitchell field, concluded light training yester- day below the regulation poundaEe tipping the beam at 146. On the other hand. Hudkins was said to weigh l4sh with a pound and half of surplus to reduce before weigh ing in at the New York State Ath- letic commissions office this after noon.
 Handlers of the Wildcat said he would get down to the 147 pounds WlJH0uL QIulCuIlS. EHCulu Ic CA- ced that amount, however, 1t will mean that he cannot hope to figure in the role of challenger against Dundee but must shift his activities to the middleweights in which realm Mickey Walker Is king.
 The winner of tonight's tussle has been promised . bout with Dundee at the Garden on March 23 provid- ed the Baltimore pugilist Is rein- stated by the Empire State solons, Dundee is still under the ban here from his recent fiasco in California.
 Hudkins and Baker have met twice and each has won a victory. Jack McVey, Negro middleweight, and Maxie Rosenbloom are oppon- ents in an eight round semi-final on the same card. Another bout of the same distance finds Buddy McDor- aid of St Paul stacking up against Andy Di Vodi A third eight round CT pits Young Manuel against John- ny Kocha nsky.

ATLAS AND NEW BRITAIN
 CLASH TOMORROW NIGHT
Local Basketball Team Faces Crisis in Race for Second
 Half Championship - New Haven Team Has AL
 ready Won Two Victories From Hardware City Crew-Both Quintets in Fine Fettle for Gruelling
 Struggle Preliminary Game.

Tomorrow night two teams of basketball gladiators will meet on the Stanley Arena floor In one of the most bitter contests in the state league this season. The Atlas team of New Haven, champion quintet of the first half of the league and New Britain. winner of the state cham- pionahip last season. are the two combinations scheduled to fight 1t out.
 The Atlas scored two fairly easy victories over the local crew in the first half of the league. First the Elm City team won in New Haven and then came to this city and scored an easy victory in what was to have been ! hard fought contest New Britain. however. in the sec- ond meeting was without the serv- ices of Rubenstein. Al Sloman's run- ming mate at forward. and this made material difference in tho play of the Hardware City team.
 Both teams will be at full strength for the game tomorrow night. The Atlas will use the same lineup that has brought it through some Aerce court battles to numerous victories while New Britain will throw in ths same team that has defeated the Renaissance Five and other we'll known quintets during the present seasons play.
 The two teams were sche eduled to play games this week but both called off the contests because of tho fear of injuries before Saturday night. The anxiety of each to win may we'll be figured out through this movement. New Britain was to have played Waterbury in Water bury Thursday night and the Atlas team was to have met Bristol to- night.
 The lineup of the Atlas will prob ably be Pite and Cohen at forwards. Trupin at center and Gordon and Chadys at guard. New Britain will probably take the floor with Ruben- stein and Sloman at the forwards. Zakzewski at center and Leary and Sheehan at guard.
 The Landers and Corbin Screw girls team will meet in the prelim- mary game which will start at s o'clock. The main attraction will commence about 9 o'clock. Manager Clarence Lanpher of the New Brit ain team stated today that he will have either Dick Dillon or "Red'' Ball as referee for the feature game.

Yale Man Named to Direct Americas Tennis Strategy

Phila delphia, Feb. IT R,-The new chairman of the Davis cup committee and, as such. the director of Americas international tennis strategy this year. is Joseph w.. Wear of Philadelphia, a Yale man and all-around sportsman.
 In selecting Mir. Wear for this i'm portant post in his new cabinet. Samuel NJ. Collom Of Philadelphia. new president of the United States Lawn Tennis association, not only went outside the organizat ation's ''old guard" but picked a man who has held no previous office in the U. S. L. T. A.
 The appointment came as some wbat of a. surprise to many observ- CTS who had expected to see either Dick Williams or Charles Garland, former Davis cup team captains. sc lected for the position if it was to go to some one outside the so-called "old guard"
 Mir. Wear succeeds Julian $. My rick. Of New York, who has headed the Davis cup committee since 1920. when Bib Bill" Tilden and Little Bill" Johnston brought the famous trophy back from Australia. and en- gtneered the American campaigns that were successful for seven straight years.
 Philadelphia. where the French staged their triumphant finish last September. thus becomes the center of 1928 American challenging strat- egy with Collom. Wear and Tilden sll making their homes here.
 Although he has not figured in the executive councils of the game heretofore, Mir. Wear has been close ly identified with tennis and it's lead CTS.

MULLEN CONTINUES
 TITLE BOUT PLANS
Chicago Promota Undaard by
 Walkers Suspension

Chicago. Feb. 1T (UP)-Undeter- rcd by . ruling of the National Box ing Association. Promoter Jim Mul- len today went ahead with plans to GtaSs . middleweight championship bout here. with Mickey Walker billed as the champion.
 The N. B. A., suspended Walker for his mot having shown any in- clination to defend his title, although the six months grace allowed him has expired"
 Mullen contsnded the association had no right to take away | boxers title "becauss no promoter has made the fighter an offer to defend his championship"
 T have Walker signed for . title match in July" Mullen said. The contract contains the provision that I must name his opponent sixty days before the match.
 T have not named the opponent because I have been unable to find ono I think can put up . good fight against the champion. AS soon as l can locate a chal- lenger who would stand a chance to win from Mickey. I'm going ahead with the bout"
 Walker has not defended his title since he knocked out Tommy Mtlli. gan in London. last June. His seem- ing unwillingness to fight the mid dleweights Is surprising for smart boxing men concur in the opinion, that he probably would have little trouble beating anything in the mid dleweight division.
 Mickey has been imbued with all idea that he could win the light heavyweight championship and thus become . three-title holder. He held the welterweight championship before ascending the middleweight throne.
 These aspirations have required SC much of his time that the middle. weights have been neglected. He won from Mike McTigue and Paul Berlenbach in two light heavy starts Similar in some respects, to Walk. er's case is that of Sammy Mandell lightweight champion, whom the N. B. A.. let get by without s,ispen- sion because of the announcement that Mandell has been matched with Jimmy McLarnin.
 Admittedly Walker han had few. CT good opponents than Mandell While most of tho middleweight, would have little chance against tht champion. there are several light weights boxing men believe could cause Mandell trouble.

CHRYSLERS BOW ID PONTIAC QUINTET
Dill Shows Glass in Amateur
 Roller Hockey Game
Standing.

Captain Dill and his speeding band of Pontiac roller hockey shoot CTS swamped the Chrysler quintet. last night by the score of to :: in the preliminary game to the New Britain Hartford American League contest. The victory puts the Pom tiacs in . three-cornered tie for first place with the Dodge and Nash teams.
 Captain Dill was the outstanding star of the winning team. With the sang froid of a veteran of many campaigns, he played a pretty flooA game and his shots for the goal were perfect. His pass work and his team play featured the contest and his crafty lodging and whirling on the floor brought many favorable com ments from the onlookers- He scored five of hts teams points in the game.
 He was ably assisted hy Newell in bringing the ball down the floor The Pontiac defense was the major reason why the team won. Frank Kieffer at halfback stopped the ma jority of the Chrysler rushes for the Pontiac goal while Heinzman per- formed wonders as goalie.
 Harry Kieffer was the outstanding star for the losers. He was station. ed at halfback in the first part of the game but went to one Of the rush positions and his work result ed in the first score for his team. Selander did good work on the floor but his play was marred by the rough tactics he employed especially against Keeley of the Pontiach Chrysler lost one goal on fouls.
 With three goals in the first frame, the Pontiacs took a lead from which they were never headed, Chryslers best work was done in tho second period when the team scored three goals. The Pontiacs also scored three counters in this frame. One lone goal scored by the Pontiacs in the last frame was the result of fast play by both teams.

St. Moritz, Switzerland, Feb. IT (F,-Sportsn1anship had paved the way today for a new amity pact be- tween the United States and France without the necessity of ratification in the senate's legislative chambers Of diplomatic intercourse when Marquis Deploignac championed Americas protest at the cancellation of the 10000 meters speed skating competition. The marquis demanded that Irving Jaffee of New York be declared the official winner. Count Clary, president of the French Olympic committee, hailed Jaffee as the Olympic champion as far as France was concerned as the Americans departed at the railroad station.
 The venerable and aged count. with flowing patriarchal whiskers several inches long. kissed Jaffee on both cheeks.

NEA Service Writer

NEA Service Writer
 Although it may sound like trea- son to the cause of higher educa- ton. there is one prominent univer- sity president who hesitates not in the least in encouraging his young men to enter professional baseball.
 That is, when any of his young men show enough talent on the campus to warrant the belief that they will eventually become major league performers.
 He is Dr. George H. Denny. presi- dent of the University of Alabama. whose football teams and baseball players have advertised the state and the university more than a few hundred thousand dollars could have done.
 pr. Denny can take out his alum nj record and very proudly show you that one dozen former Alabama students were connected in one way or another with major league clubs last year. and at least ten were playing in minor leagues, ranging from the International league on down.
 And. with the exception Of Der Till Pratt. who has served his ma .ior league career and is now man. aging the Waco Texas league team, all of these players attended Ala bama within the past nine years and the majority Of them in the past five years.
 Here's the list of those who had major league connections last year:
 Joe and Luke Sewell. Cleveland; Riggs Stephenson and Tommy Sew. ell, Chicago Cubs: Ike Boone. White Sox; Grant Gillis, Jack Hayes and Emile Barnes. Washington: And, and Sydney Cohen, New Yorl i Giants: Ernie Wingard, St. Louii Browns, and Frank Chambers, st Louis Cardinals.
 And in the minors can he found { surprising number of young mer who had their bit of college educa ton under Mike" Denny.
 Only the two Sewells at Cleveland and Riggs Stephenson with the Cub' were regulars last season. The ma jority of the others were eithel bought late in the year or in tn, minors. farmed out by their owner with strings attached. as in the cas- of Andy Cohen and Grant Gillis.
 Just why should one school hav' so many of its players go in fo professional haseball7
 Perhaps Dr. Denny Is the chic reason.
 Dr. Denny attends every athleti event of Ala bana teams on his ca m pus and also most of them away He is one of the stronsest exponent of college sports to be found amonl the heads of educational institutions
 He is out on the field of practic every day. He knows the game watches everything. and what h doesn't know he asks about.
 Talking recently about the mum her of Alabama men playing profes slonsl baseball. pr. Denny said
 T am deeply interested in tn splendid records made by ou former students m the rrofessiona field and must admit that I hay encouraged their entering that fiel when their prospects seem brigh for succers
 Y am glad to see any of our boy go into professional baseball for tn sake of the profession. feeling tha it would he 9 fine thing for profes s,onal baseball if the spirit an ideals of college men would in lsrg degree influence that field.
 When prospects seem bright, have held the view that If was good thing for the individual to sc cept the best offer he received.
 T certainly hold in the highes esteem those Of our own numbe who have gone into professions baseball"
