COACHING JOBS
 MAY BE FILLED Collins May Go to Georgetown to
 Succeed Lou Little

New York. Dec. 2S Op) - Two football coaching problems may be settled next week in connection with the annual meeting of the American Football Coaches associa- top.
 Chuck Collins, University of North Carolina coach. is slated to succeed Lou Little as head coach at Georgetown and negotiations to bring this about may be complete within a few days.
 Major Frank Cavanaugh is ex- pected to sign for another year as head coach at Fordham. thereby setting at rest flock of rumors IcalinS with his possible successor.
 These arc the only two outstand- Ing uncertainties in the eastern coaching lineup for 1880. If Col llns accepts the Georgetown post, there will be an attractive southern berth available. in addition 10 the head coaching jobs still open at Alabama Poly and the University of Oregon.
 Collins and Adam Walsh Yale m" coach. both have been mcn- toned for the Georgetown position winch llttl" resigned 10 accept Co., Iunbla's lucrative inducements Both are former Notre Dame mon. playing together in the days of tho TOUT Horsemen at south Bend. Collins turned out fine team at North Carolina this year. losing only one game and leading inc southern Conference in scoring. Walsh was head coach at Santa Clara. Calif., before going to New Haven.
 The coaches association. which holds it's annual meeting Monday tt the Hotel Astor as tho forerun- ner of weeks athletic pow-wows is expected to debate the rules and possibly recommend some changes In spite of. the protests. however, it IS not likely the coacncs as a body will sponsor any action 10 withdraw the new tumble rule. The coaches contributed to writing this in the books last winter and the rules makers are understood to be thor oughly satisfied with it.
 The National Collegiate A. A.. meeting Wednesday, will hear echoes of the Carnegie Foundations famous report on subsidizing ard recruiting of college athletes This . group was instrumental in starting . the investigation which led to the i revelations of questionable prac- ticcs and commercialism in college football. Although the N. C. A. A.. has no police powers, its officers including Brig. Gen. Palmer F. Pierce, the president. have OK pressed tho view that Somcthin" should be done about these alleged wills.

Leo r. Flynn Scores Knockout When His Fighter Refuses to Go
 Through With Bout.

No wonder Leo P. Flynn gets away with his strenuous job of run ming perhaps the worlds biggest stable of boxers. working all over America. In his first year as t manager, he even turned fighter 10 meet an agcmcnt-and got away with it.
 Hymns first tighter, according % the story Jack kearns tells me. was q Jack Robinson Of Chicago. Flynn booked him for two fights or su3- cessive nights; ono with "Bulr Hur- ley in Chicago, the other with Joa Reagan in Glynn Falls.
 Robinson knocked out Hurley. and he and Flynn started for Glynn Falls. On the train Robinson ma;l" trouble about the railroad tickets from Glynn Falls to New Yorh. Tho quarrel was climaNed when Robinson got off the train at q st.4- ton and disappeared.
 Flynn was resourceful then. os now. Why not impersonate Robin son and get the fighters as well as the managers end of the purse?
 Arriving at Glynn Falls he sought out the promoter. Rather than take q chance on meeting someone who knew him or Robinson, he told the promoter he vas tired.
 Tough fight beating Hurley last night" he said. Want to give yod my best effort
 At tlc acrna that night, when Reagan came out of his corner. he struck such a funny pose that Flynn decided to talk" a chance He let go a pnnch and Reagan almost broke his back trying to duck it. Then he frintcd with his left and slappcd RcaSan's check with his right hand open.
 That slap seemed to take the fight out of Reagan, and q moment later. when Flynn took a long swing, RcI- gan went down and out.
 X few days later. the Glynn Falls promoter came to New York. He ran into Flynn.
 How arc you. Eobinson"" nc said. 'I'vc another fight for you.
 While they were talking. up came Eobnson--the real Jack Robinson.
 ''I was just trying to get Robinson here" said the promoter. pointing to Flynn, to fight in Glynn Fans again. He made hit when he beat Reagan"
 That's not Eobinson-lm Robin son." shouted Jack Robinson.
 Flynn drew the promoter away. explaining that Robinson was a crack pot who liked to pose IS prominent fighters.
 Harmless. you know, but dalfy.' said Leo r.
 The promoter understood. But T" never got Flynn to fight again m ilynn Falls. Leo had too many other engagements. Copyright. 1929, NEA Service Incl

dent Of the largest Investment
company III America, Hugh 81.
Baker, Ii not quite 47.
James ii. Perkins. president of
the city Bank-Farmers Trust
Company, the third member Of
the trinity created by New York's

Is SIS.
Charles u. Mitchell, who was
president Of both the National
City Bank and the National City

now becomes executive head Of
all three organizations. as chair
man., Is only 81. The average Of
the four is thus under ~.
In view Of the constant discus
sion concerning the value Of 3
college education. AZ Is interesting
to note that Mitchell is graduate
cf Amherst. Rentschler Il 4 grad
uate Of Princeton. Perkins Q grad

Il q college man.
What are the outstanding quail
tiles and characteristics Of these
three bank presidents?
Rentschler Ii notable for his IN
innate firstsiland knowledge os
big business, its problems and It's
leaders; for his extraordinary
physical and mental energy and
vitality, and for his ability to
concentrate on and solve new and
knotty problems.
Hugh Baker has Napoleonic
aptitude for inspiring absolute
faith In his leadership. In his
judgment. In his invulnerable
fairness. He Is d born salesman
and his veritable genius for chas.
ing away the blues whenever sell
ing conditions beconle cloudy.
The words that sank deepest
int0 the mind Of Sim Perkins
when student were these, from
old Prof. Shaler: .'Gentlemen. you
may not be geninses, hut you can
become . power by being inevi-
table"
Perkins interpreted that to
mean that he must become 100
per cent dependable. that he must
never shirk, that he must never
compromise with principle. that
he must thoroughly master his.
lob and that his siiperiOrs. his as-
sOc;ates and his friends could Al.
ways count upon him to do the
square thing. Perkins, although
extremely modest and retiring.
has perhaps as many sincers
friends as any man In the finan-
cial world-aIld probably hasn't
