The nomination of Ace Hudkins as the chief middleweight titlo claimant by the National Boxing Association, which simultaneously ignores the championship status of Mickey Walker, offers one of the main reasons for the dazed condl- ton of fistic observers.
 Walkers decision over Hudkins in the rain at Comiskey Park, Chi cago, in the summer Of 1928 was open to question but Mickey handed the Ace an artistic shellacking ae Los Angeles this fall to remove the lingering doubt of superiority. What ever debate there may be over the legitimate ability of Walker to make the 16O-pound class limit, none re- mains so far as his superiority over Hudkins is concerned.
 Walker is the middleweight cham pion until someone punches his crown off, yet the N. B. A. re- fuses recognition to him in the same breath that it asserts titles are won in the ring. not on paper.
 Mickey has a fighting record that has kept him in une championship class longer, as a welterweight end middleweight. than any other mod ern ring figure He won the wei ter crown from Jack Briton in 1922 lost it to Pete Latzo in 1926, the same year in which he took the middleweight honors rom the late Tiger Flowers at Chicago.

Whether or not it is consistent or however it contrasts with the policies in such other sports as tennis, the United States Golf As- 'sociation has taken a firm stand in the amateur trenches by re- fusing to sanction the payment of expenses for players on state or sec tional teams, such as in the Les ley Cup competition
 "The proposed amendment might easily tend toward commercializing the sport and encourage a group of players whose sole activity might be that of playing on golf teams throughout the country with ex- penses paid" says the report of the U. s G. A. Executive Committee.
 This unquestionably strikes de- termined blow on the side of those anxious to see amateurism less com mercialized and against the Tour ing Amateur" more on the side of gentlemanly competition, without concern about expense accounts or guarantees.
 The U. s. G. A. perhaps has had an object lesson in the difficulties that have arisen following the let down of barriers on expenses in ether sports, where the thigh-class amateur tennis star is able to play East and West, North and South; where the amateur track and field ace can run, jump or hurdle most of the winter in club meets scat tered between Boston, New York and Chicago.
 Notre Danes gridiron outfit will continue to ramble about the coun- try but the Hoosiers will make a bigger home stand than ever next year in their new South Bend sta- dium, seating 60,0O0. Southern Methodist, from the Southwestern Conference, and the Naval Academy will be two of the main home att fractions.
 Rockne's pupils nevertheless will make it another coast-to-coast cam paign, playing Southern California in the Los Angeles Coliseum, be- sides making two trips East, to meet Army besides starting a new rivalry with the University of Pennsyl- Vania.
