ACE HUDKINS WINS
 OVER SAMMY BAKER
Earns Decisive Victory From
 Former Army Man

New York, Feb. IS R-Ace Hud- kins had outmaneuvered sammy Baker in the struggle for the role of challenger in the pugilistic welter- weight division.
 In 10 rounds of fighting in Madi- son Square Garden last night, Hud- kins bombarded the one-time regular army sergeant with a ceaseless two listed attack that won him the de- cision of the judges.
 Baker dropped to the canvas twice under the furious drives of the Ne braskan. taking counts of nine on each occasion in the second and sixth rounds.
 In keeping with his reputation as ' the wildcat of pugilism. Hudkins ripped out with his customary slam- bang tactics without a let up which frequently drew frenzied reprisals from the out-classed but still game Mitchell Field boxer.
 f Hudkins floored his foe in the sec ond round with a terrific right to the jaw and then bored in with his rights and lefts to the body and head. giving Baker no quarter. Dur ing a savage mixup in the sixth. Baker fell to the resin and protested foul which was not allowed by the referee although the blow was con- sidered low.
 Baker arose at the count of nine and renewed the struggle, fighting back desperately but not enough to diminish the fury of the Nebraskan's rusheA Hudkins ran up against a vicious right to the jaw in the eighth round which nearly proved his un- doing, but he clinched and came back with harder assault. Hudkins was given seven of the rounds and Baker three. The big chance of the night for Baker was in the eighth round when he drilled a hard right to the jaw. Hudkins ap- peared to be on the verge of passing from the picture, but Baker was slow in following up his advantage. permitting Ace to recover. By hA victory. Hudkins has made the count two to one in his favor in ,, his series with Baker. Ace was whipped by Baker in the first meet ing on a technical knockout in the seventh round last summer. and in return engagement. Hudkins car ried off . ten-round decision.
 While there had been considerable comment that Hudkins would be unable to make the welterweight limit of 147 pounds, he entered the ring at 146 while Baker scaled IA 1-.. Hudkins probably will be matched to box Joe Dundee of Bal timore, welterweight champion, in 8 bout at the Garden late in March provided Dundee is reins+"+ed by the New York State Athletic commits sion.

 CAUSE 0F TROUBLE
Solidarity Of Collegiate Basket
 ball League Threatened

Philadelphia. Feb. IS P}-The sol- idarity of the Intercollegiate Basket ball league is threatened by the score-keeping controversy over the game here Thursday night between Pennsylvania and Dartmouth. part of which was played under protest by the Red and Blue.
 Dartmouth, according to the off cial scorers, won the game 30 10 20. wrestling the lead in the champion ship race from Pennsylvania. but Quaker officials claim that Schaaf scored three foul goals in the first half instead of two as recorded by the student scorers. The disputed point was credited to Pennsylvania on the score board and all the news papermen in the press box keeping score agreed that 1t had been made.
 A special meeting of the executive committee of the league will be held in New York Monday or Wednes- day of next week to consider the matter.
 Ralph Morgan, chairman of the basketball committee at Pennsyl- vania, stated that the Rcd and Blue may withdraw from the league if its protest and it's demand that the game be replaycd are no allowed.
 Morgan also included in his pro- test a statement that Swartont, the Dartmouth forward, had been per- mitted to play the last two minutes of the game after the fourth per- sonal foul had been charged against him. making him ineligible.
 Reports from Wilkes Barre, where the Dartmouth team stopped off last night en route 10 Ithaca to play Cor nell, quoted Coach Lou Wachter as saying his quintet may refuse 10 play over the disputed contest. Wachter said he considered the score kept by the student scorers as official and not the count that was tallied on the score board.

 They point to . change in times, the fact that times are more pros- ! to send their sons to college and that many moro young fellows are 1 willing to make the aacriflce to broaden themselves by foreign trip But in the 30 per cent or less of the athletes who will be on the Olympic team will be found num- ber of old fellows who have been sticking at the game for years just because they like it.
 Quite a number of them will give contest to any of these young col lege fellows.
 There is Captain Matt McGrath of the New York police traffic de- partment. who is one of the best athletes in the world and who has been on nearly every team that Uncle Sam has sent any place. He could throw a hammer with anyone until he hurt his knee and now he'll take on any Finn at tossing the 56- pound weight.
 And speaking of men-you should see him in uniform! They made him get out of the police parade two years ago because he and Pat Mcdonald. lieutenant of traffic and a shot-putter with several records, were the whole parade! ..
 Mike Devanney always calls up around Olympic time from the cloth ing end of the department store 1 where he works in New York and gives this information:
 I'm workin' every Saturday and ! Sunday outdoors and every night in side and I'll be on that team. I think. I'm in great shape and even if those young guys think | they've got better legs. they don't
