RICHARD TO EXPLAIN
 FIGHTER CONNECTIONS
New York Commission to Quiz Fro. motef About Charges
 Brought by Sharkey.

New York. Dec. 20 (UP)-Tex Rickard has been summoned to ap- pear before the New York boxing commission to explain his connec- ton with Paolino Uzcudun. Jack Dempsey and Young Stribling as a result of the charges contained in a telegram which Jack Sharkey claims to have forwarded to the promoter. -Sharkey charged that Rickard managed the boxing affairs of the trio and the commission feels that an explanation is in order.
 Rickard merely laughed at the charge at his offices yesterday.
 Its good publicity" he said. Let Sharkey talk all he cares to. It won't do me any harm and it won't do him any good. Sharkey always was long on talking and short on fighting.
 Tt might have looked all right # Sharkey had left Paolino's name out of ii. If I held controlling interest in Paolino. as sharkey says. ] wouldn't let him so to Europe and south America. I'd make him fight for me. He hasn't fought bout under my promotion in more than a year"
 Rickard said he refused a request of Dempseys that he become his manager. which followed the Shar- moter. not a fight manager"
 He said he was boosting Strlbling because the Georgia heavyweight was the only man in his division not afraid to fight.

 Tho New Britain forwards were too clever for Southinston. Both Bell and Rockwell dribbled through and around the home guards almost at will and usually terminated their brilliant dashes with neat losses for scores. Rocky ran up ?: points and Bell 1@ to be the two high scorers of the game. Vessels had perhaps the best of . hard battle at center. Barta and May did some excellent foul shooting and defensive work. while Parker held the dangerous Connors scoreless. SouthinEton's scores, outside of some follow-ups by the big 'Iichol, were almost all the result of long shots. Badley. . sub who went in in the second halt, excelled at this sort of play. while Judd also dipped in some neat ones and Nelson got on p; . of one- handed beauties.
 Barta scored first on . free toss. Judd and Nichol gave Southington a Al lead. but the New Britain for wards carried the locals ahead once more and they were never headed after that. The score at the half was es-17. Early in the third period led by Badley, staged it's biggest rally and closed in to within two points. but then Rock we'll ran wild and the victors pulled out of danger.

 GRID TRADITION
Football Loving President Is %Meather Yane" Of Game

Tuscaloosa. Ala, Dec. 20 R- George H. Mike" Denny, football loving president of the University of Alabama, is the traditional "gridiron vane" of Crimson Tide football.
 When Mike" as he is fondly call alumni, is bowled over by the foot ball team in scrimmage, the Crimson Tide is due for great session. When Mike" fails to make this per- sonal sacrifice, the success of the Tide is not so certain.
 This tradition was born in 1919 as Alabama began to emerge from southern football obscurity. under Coach Ken Scott. Then called the Thin Red Line" Alabama started impressive victories. But on Octo- OCT 2i they lost to Vanderbilt 1G to l3 after leading until the last five minutes. Things looked blue with Sswanee. Alabama's oldest rival. scheduled to battle the Tide on No- . S~hIUSl III A1ll AliliehuiIi ouL tii'ii Mike" started mascoting for the Crimson Tide.
 One afternoon just prior to the Sewanee game President Denny walked into a charging Alabama bac;:feld. Heavy figures bowled him over and the big foot of Riggs Steph- eaxon. star fullback, and later big league ball player, drove the pres iden.'s glasses into the turf.
 Alabama won the next Saturday frcm Sewanee 40 to 0, the heaviest victory ever scored on the Moun- tain Tiger by the Tide.
 This bred the tradition which gained greater weight when Alabama defea ted Pennsylvania 9 to in 1922 Just three days after Dr. Denny had been run down in practice scrim- mage. Again in 1924 the president vas trampled in practice. Alabama won the Conference championship that year. Both in 1925 and 1926 when the Tide won title and played at the Tournament of Roses, Dr Denny received a dus.ing off ir scririmage.
 In 1927. Coach Wade's first los ing year at Alabama. Dr. Denny was unscathca throughout the season.

BY JAY R. VESSELS

New York, Dec. 20. R>-Out De- troit way they are showing determi- nation to get back some of the strength the club lost in shifting Lu Blue and Heinie Manush to the Browns for what turned out to be a consignment of three ordinary ball players. .....
 Since taking over the Tiger man. agerial duties in November. Buoky Harris has made three major deals that have given his club the jump on all major league teams. with the exception of Cleveland.
 The ink wasn't dry on Harris own contract with the Tigers be- fore he had spent s75,ooo for Roy Johnson. San Francisco slugger. who hit 1850 in the Pacific Coast last season. Then the former Wash ington Manager drew on the ac- cout of the Tigers owners for s10o.o0o. the price of First Base man Dale Alexander and Pitcher John Prudhomme, two Information al League stars.
 Alexander and Prudhomme came from Toronto and cost the Tigers. in addition to the cash three ball players. The week following this deal. Harris swapped two men for one in a trade with Cleveland. He sent Shortstop Jackie Tavener and Pitcher Kenneth Holloway to the Indians for Pitcher George Ernest Uhle who had been sought by several clubs.
 There will be another deal or two bringing additional strength to the Tigers, Detroit reports state. Consequently. the club which once rode at the top Of the .hecS. with such greats az Ty Cobb and Sam Crawford showing the way. prom ises to become q first division fix ture in 1929.
 Times have been dull for Detroit fans since the days of Hughey Jennings and his cage full of snarl- ing. battling Tigers. That is why Harris aggressiveness is causing such big hubbub in the Michigan metropolis.
