The Carnegie Foundation will conduct no investigation of pro- fessional pugilism, the science of battered ears or whatever this busi- ness may be labelled.

 Nevertheless, early events of 1880 offer few, if any reasons for pre- dieting bigger and better things in boxing. The heavyweight prospects may be bigger, with the return of Victoria Campolo from the Ar genuine and the arrival of the Ital- ian Giant, Primo Camera, but the quality of fistic beef on the hoof hardly seems in proportion to the quantity.
 Jack Sharkey's objection to fight ing Fluffy Griffiths at Miami based on alleged business grounds. is not calculated to boost the Boston heavyweight's standing, especially at time when Griffiths has come forward to prominence as a cap able contender. Tuffy, in fact, may prove a very harassing foe for Sharkey, who would prefer to risk his winter fortunes against the crude and inexperienced, even f hard-hitting Argentine, Campolo
 Sharkey, as the leading Ameri- can contender for the heavyweight title that has now been unclaimed for a year and a half, can best ad- vance his ambitions by distinct willingness to meet any and all corners in 1930 Few critics would rate the sailors prospective oppo- sition toward title recognition as exceptional. Campolo, Scott, the German, Schmeling, Griffiths and a few others among the contenders. have possibilities but they do not class with the list of a year or two ago when Heeney, Risko, De- laney, Maloney and even old Mike McTigue were real stumbling blocks to the path of any heavyweight as- pirant.
 Whatever may have been the merits or demerits of the Bass Morgan junior lightweight title bout" the New York boxing pow CTS have at least performed a dis tinct service by wiping out recog- milton for any and all junior" classes. These trick divisions never assumed major stature, nor were they popularly received except in a few scattered zones of combat where a hometown favorite quail fled for action in them.
 Junior titles, it would seem, can well be dispensed with at time when it is difficult enough to find boxers cap ble of holding the championships of legitimate fistic classes.
 Georgetown's new director of ath- letics, Tommy Mills, although he started his college career at Beloit, comes to the Hilltop institution with a fine background of experi- ence in the Rockne School of Notre Dame. During the football sea- son, Mills was not much in evil dence around South Bend but he might have been found at variety of places peering intently at the maneuvers of forthcoming opposi- tion for the Irish. A5 chief scout he knew the Rockne system besides concentrating upon the study of ether methods. He is well-equip- ped to combine the best features of his observations into his coaching at Georgetown.
 It is another significant tribute to Rocknes system that is seeking a successor to Lou Little, George towns authorities selected their new athletic mentor from a group of experts in the Notre Dame meth ods Chuck Collins Of North Caro- lima and Adam Walsh of Yale. teammates of the Four Horsemen. were the others considered in ad- dition to Mills in picking a re- placement for Little, now at Colum- bia.
