VERSATILE BIG Nag
OF MINNESOTA said
AMONG BEST BACKS
Takes His Place in Roll Of Honor
Along With Martineau
and Joesting
SEVEN OTHERS GRADUATE
Doc Spears Eleven Will Attempt
to Wind Up Season With
Win Saturday

Minneapolis, Nov. 20.-One Of the
greatest football players In all Min
history, Bronko Nagurski, will
complete his three years Of COMPETE
ton Saturday when Minnesota meets
Wisconsin in the closing game of the
1929 season.
Like other great Minnesota backs,
such as Earl Martineau and Herb
Joesting, Nagurski never played on a
Western conference championship
team, but, again like them. he played
on one or more teams said by sports
experts to be the equal OF any In the
country. DR.. Spears 1928 team was
one Of these.
Nagurski Is superior wherever he Is
called upon to perform. It would be
hard to surpass his defensive work,
and as a ball carrier he combines q
terrific drive with a speed unusual for
one weighing 203 pounds. The Big Nag
does not kick. and that is the only
thing he doesn't do. Like the man
who was asked II he could swim.
Bronko can reply i don't know: !
never tried"
Along with Nagurski Minnesota will
lose Kakela. a guard. Bob Tanner, q
| veteran end. Pulkrabek. who Is COM
plotting his third year at guard, and
Harold Barnhart. George Lagenberg,
tackle. and Bert Ola, center. have
played only two years Of conference
football and will be eligible next year
II they are in school, although their
return is uncertain. Lloyd Johnson, a
center. also will graduate.
With these veterans gone, Minne-
sofa will face q sitter schedule next
year than the one which tore to pieces
this years team. There will be six
conference contests instead Of five.
Minnesota will face Wisconsin Sat-
urday In q determined effort to end
the season above the 500 rating. With
two wins and two losses at present,
the team will fall below the halfway
mark unless Wisconsin is defeated,
The difficulty ONE in the fact that
Wisconsin will have had o two-weeks
layoff, just as Iowa did Nov. 3 before
meeting Minnesota. DR.. Spears will
give his players q chance to recover
during the early part of the week, be-
fore he speeds them up for the sea-
sons final battle.

GALLAGHER UNFAIR,
MANAGER CHARGES

GALLAGHER, not I, failed to play
square," John 8. Blick. local sports pro-
rioter, stated when informed that Marty
Gallagher, heavyweight boxer, has filed
suit in the District Supreme Court for
cancellation of a contract he had made
with Blick on June 80, 1927. Gallagher
charged that Blick failed to pay him as
set forth in the contract and has failed
to manage his interests to the best ad-
vantage.
IF Marty had put his cards on the
table and told me that he wanted to
sever his connections with me, I would
have been glad to have granted his re-
quest" Blick declared, but he has
never made any effort to play square
with me-"
The Maryland Boxing Commission
recently upheld Blick's right to manage
Gallagher. The decision OF this body
also has been upheld by the Illinois and
New York commissions.
Regardless of the outcome OF the
suit brought by Gallagher, he will have
to fight for me, or quit the game" Blick
says, as the boxing commissions are su-
preme.

he obtained such control, to convert the
Polo Grounds into an all-sports arena
and lease the Yankee Stadium for the

ing promoter it seemed an utter waste
that there should be two such big parks
idle during half of the base ball sea-

Tex contemplated remodeling the Polo

for bike racing and better arranged for
boxing shows, while still having field
room for foot ball, soccer and other
sports.

tennis in 1921, years before the pioneer

Some Schemes Missed Fire.
Not all of Richards high-powered
plans materialized. At one time he con-

in Buenos Aires. For several years he
also considered promoting a title bout
with Harry Wills as the challenger, but
opposition from various sources to a

Manager Dan Howley not only has
lost none of the first-string strength of

siders to be some promising new ma
terial, picked UP from the minors. He
also believes the team will show marked
improvement because of experience.
If he can develop stronger pitching
staff, and possibly do some shifting in
the ififield to strengthen the second
base position, now regarded as open,
Howley feels confident the team will be
q grave menace to the Yankees and
Athletics in the coming scramble for
the flag.
Some New Pitchers.
The new flock of pitching prospects
includes Warren Collins, veteran major
Lacquer, who Is staging a comeback

GREAT SPORT PROMOTION
HALTED BY TEX'S DEATH
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
N YEW YORK, January 11.-what
M Tex Rickard would have ac-
complished had he lived to

offers as wide field of specu-
lation as that surrounding his possible
successor.
Only Tex himself knew Of many and

He figured most of his big ventures out
months and often years in advance.
The promoter, for instance, had his eye
on Tunney as the logical challenger for
DempSey's title over a year before Gene
and Jack actually fought in Phila-
delphia. The Tunney ballyhoo was as
expertly handled as that establishing
Carpenter as rival for the Manassas
Mauler.
Rickard had mapped his plans def
nitely this year for a heavyweight re-
vival featuring Jack Dempsey's come
back in bout to be held at the YAM
kee Stadium in September. The Strib-
ling Sharkey match at Miami Beach
February 81 is the only tangible part
that remains, although 1t is not UNI
recovered from the shock Of his friends
death, may decide to go through with
his part of the program.
Florida Base Planned.
Those close to Richard believe he
planned to make the Stribling- Sharkey
fight the forcrunner of extensive opera
tions in the South, with Miami Beach
as the base for a program of Winter
sports companion to his interests in
New York. Significant in this connec-
ton is that Richard had invested sub
stantially in the Miami Beach Kennel
Club, besides holding other Florida In
terests.
