GIRLS DAD SHOOTS
 R0ADHOUSE KEEPER
Believes That He Served Liquor
 to School Children

Camden, Ark. Jan. IF R>-Wrath of the father of 8 IS year old girl to whom liquor is alleged to have been served along with about 75 other students at party held by Camden high school students at roadhouse near here last fall. cul- minated yesterday in a shooting af- fray in which the proprietor of the road house was wounded critically.
 Alex Hardin. 25. the proprietor, today is suffering from four bullet wounds in his body and r. E. Sul- livan. the girls father. is in jain charged with the shooting. Little hope is held by hospital officials for Hardin's recovery.
 The shooting occurred when Sul- livan met Hardin in an alley. Sul- ivan, according to witnesses. shout ed: You can't ruin my daughter" and opened fire with an automatic pistol. Immediately after the shoot ing Sullivan surrendered to police.
 Members of Sullivan's family said that he knew nothing about the al- leged drinking at the party until a few days ago when. after an under cover investigation lasting several weeks, Hardin was placed under $l,- 900 bond for his appearance before the Ouachita county grand jury to answer charges of serving intoxicat- ing liquor to minors. At the same time Sullivan's daughter and six boys were placed under $l1O boud each for their appearance as wit nesses against the road house keep, CT.
 The investigation and subsequent charges grew out of rumors that liquor had been served to children of high school age at the road house. Practically all the students who at- tended the party last fall were ques- tioned by authorities.

BOXERS ID TAKE SLASH IN PRICE
Sharkey Now Holds Key to Bout
 With Young Striblin6

New York. Jan. 12 Lp - Jack Sharkey seems to hold the key to the tangled situation surrounding the proposed Sharkey-Stribling bout at Miami Beach next month.
 Finding no trace of signed con- tracts for the bout, William r. Carey. vice president and treasurer of the Madison Square Garden cor poration, and his associates, have decided to stage the match Tex Rickard planned for February 27-- provided they can get the principals to agree to revision in financial arrangements.
 Young Stribling already has agreed to accept any terms Rick ards successors may offer, but Sharkey may be rather less agree able. Nor is that to be wondered at. Stribling has yet to make his way to the forefront of the heavyweights seeking the title Gene Tunney re- linquished last year. Sharkey has been near the top for almost two years.
 At any rate the responsibility for making or breaking the match ap- pears to have been thrust upon Sharkey's shoulders. Carey and Jack Dempsey. who seems to have

H0RWEEN AGAIN
 HARVARD COACH
Announcement Is Made at First
 Football Dinner Since 1922

Boston, Jan. 12 R1Arnold Hor- ween. captain of Harvard's football team in 1920 and head coach since 1926 is coming back to lead the Crimson gridiron forces another year.
 It was a joyous group of gradu- ates and undergraduates which heard William J. Bingham. Harvard director of athletics. make that an- nouncement last night at the first Harvard football dinner since 1922.
 The dinner was staged in honor of the team which crushed Yale to climax one of the best seasons in recent years. There was present as well the undefeated freshman squad.
 Horween's return, matter Of doubt since the close of the sea- son, was summed up by the coach himself when he said:
 "The situation which was created by the question of whether l was coming back began to be painful because it seemed to be a question of whether I wanted to come back or not. There was never any ques- tion of that. It was simply a ques- ton of whether l could.
 '1 never was more honored nor pleased than when Bill Bingham asked me to coach another year. The reason was the boys whom you see here tonight"
 Arthur French. captain of the victorious 1928 team, declared that Horweens consent to coach again might be considered to mark a new era in Harvard football. "Now that Arnie has consented to come back, think the 1929 season will be the greatest we have had in years" he said.
 Horween came to Harvard at a time when Crimson football for tuns were at a decidedly low ebb and although his first two years eff forts were rewarded by only indif- ferent success, the 1928 team show

President King said the members benefit by the positions they receive and that additional pay comes with advancement.
 After Mrs. Mangan had declared it unfair to the teachers, President King said he did not feel the school board should pay for label' or for training the teachers might have had. The pay. he said, was for ac- complishments.
 MT. Burr expressed willingness to pay teachers when they proved ac- complished, but he said he thought it unadvisible that the school board depart from its usual salary sched ulc. Ie agreed with Mr. King that the ,hers should not be paid for the rec but for their ability.
 Mrs. Managan argued that these teachers should be given an oppor- tunity to show what they are cap able of doing, but MT. Burr said 1t would be just as fair to give other teachers who have not had the edu- cational opportunities the opportu- nity to show their ability.
 Just before the end of the discus sion Judge NJ. D. Sake brought up the point that teachers are allowed compensation while they are study ing for their degrees during the summer.
 20 Years In Service
 The point was brought out during the discussion relative to an in definite leave of absence for Miss Ella A. Fallon that she will conclude service of 20 years at the close of the present year.
 By keeping her on the payroll and allowing her $500 a year for an in- definite period during her illness she will be eligible for state pension of $500 annually which comes to teach CTS who are in the service for 20 years.
 She has not been able to take over the duties of supervisor of secondary schools this year and her place has been taken by Miss Mary A. Camp bell, former principal of the Elihu Burritt school. whose salary was in- creased to $2,S00 in accordance with her new duties.
 Secretary Burr spoke highly of Miss Fallon as loyal and con- scientious worker and in answer to

CLICK BEATEN BY
 JIMMY M'LARN|N
Baby Faced Irish Boy Regains
 Prestige Lost Recently

New York, Jan. 12 Pl-Jimmy McLarnin, the baby faced Irish boy who came out of the west year ago and won the hearts of New York's fight fans by knocking out their fav- orite Sid Ferris. has come back to his lucky ring" in Madison Square Garden to regain the prestige lost when he succombed to the fists of Ray Miller. In the first bout in the Garden since the death of Tex Rickard. McLarnn smashed his way to ten-round victory over another Gotham favorite, Joe Click, last night.
 Before the final bout. the Garden lights were dimmed and the crowd of 20.000 stood in silent tribute to the founder of the great sports arena. A trumpeter sounded taps from the promoters empty black draped box and Jack Dempsey, greeted by ten-minute burst of cheering, stood in the ring while Joe Humphries, veteran announcer. delivered an eulogy to his "best pal"
 Although he has outgrown the lightweight class, McLarnin has not lost the speed or the paralyzing punch that carried him to the top in that division. Through seven rounds he outclassed the Brooklyn tailor. rated as a leader among the lightweights. to earn the unanimous decision of the judges and referee.
 Only in the first round. when Jimmy let him set the pace. and in the eighth and tenth when he threw caution to the winds and slugged desperately. could Click gain an ad- vantage. In the second and third rounds Mc1,arnin's two handed punching had Click in trouble and 1t looked as If another knockout might be added to his list of Garden conuuests.
 Toward the end Click rallied des- perately. trading punches with the hard hitting Celt in the middle Of the ring and landing few solid smashes that sanped Jimmy's strength for while. McLarnin stood of the rally to win the ninth but in the final frame Click again e'ngged it out to win the round Mel 1.arnin was tired at the finish but still able to trade punches up to the bell.

If Sharkey accepts a cut the bout will go through as scheduled. If he refuses the chances are it will be abandoned.
 Dempsey remains uncommunica- tive as to his own plans but Carey indicated that the former title-hold- CT would be in charge at Miami Beach if the bout goes through.
 Paul Block, newspaper owner and sportsman, has another solution for the puzzle. In the event that the Garden people decide they do not wish to go through with the bout. he proposes to finance it himself, with the provision that all profits and 25 per cent of the principals purse be handed over to charity. MT. Blocks offer was announced in telegram addressed to James I. Bush. a vice president of the Gar den corporation.
