DUNN LOOKS OVER
 FIFTY H0PEFULS
(Continued From Precedent Page)

Continued From Precedent Page) around the attitude of the student body.
 If the university is to have ath- letic teams of potent caliber the un- dergraduates must build up morale which will not f1uctuate but provide an attitude of unwavering nature, was the way the situation was ex. pressed.
 Capt. Leo Segal was next called up and briefly asked the cooperation of those men under warning who not only were detriment to the team but to themselves. Manager Emy' Craig proceeded to illuminate on subjects previously spoken of but centcred on the personality of the new coach from New Britain. Dr. P. D. Clark, one of the assistants of the past fall and one of the most ac- tive alumni in the city, was called, to the stand and pleaded with the student body to think of football and it's value.
 "As Coach Dunn was ushered to the stand, tribute was paid him which only could be excelled by the tumult that greeted the nomination of Al Smith at the democratic con- vention. The alumni are strongly behind the teams and the univer- sity,' he said, and it remains with the student body to cooperate in the working out of a new system which is practical. Results will be slow but we hope progress will be visi- ble. A new era will be ushered in when Vermont plays teams of her own class and then should find her self. A dearth of linesmen exists and we need all the available men, It is for that reason that spring practice is being held. Nobody is immune to criticism and if such is to be made bring it to the attention Of someone in authority and do not carry it to the newspapers
 Everyone was visibly affected b> the directness and liberal attitude 0. Coach Dunn, who with his "oper door policy certainly made a hi: with those in attendance. Georgt Fully was the last of the speakers and he fervently asked those whc were out for spring practice to stay out as it is disheartening to a coacl to find when the fall rolls around that those men who were to form a nucleus have dWjndled down tr half their number"

JOE SMITH MAKES
 GREAT COMEBACK
Hartford BattIer to Meet Bobby
 Brown in Preliminary

One of the, most thrilling and startling comebacks ever staged by Ia Hartford fighter is that which has brought hard hitting Joe Smith sud- denly back to the attention of Con- necticut fandom again.
 Joe and his lethal fists are pitted against Slugging Bobby Brown of Lowell. Mass, in the semi-flnal of the Battalino-Graham card at the state armory Friday night. which goes to prove how fast the Hartford middleweight has come, along dur ing the past 12 months. Brown, you know. is the only boy in the east who holds a decision over Gorilla Jones, sensational negro battler.
 About four years ago, Joe Smith was one of the sensations among the local simon-pures. He went through all opposition like hot knife through butter, registering IT straight knockouts and firmly en- trenched himself in the affections of Connecticut fandom. Then Nemesis overlook him. His string of wins was broken by another local boy, Joe Howard, and shortly after that dis turbing experience, Smith was in jured seriously in a football Tamc, making necessary a long-lay-off. l By the time he was fit again. he had lost all interest in tho fight game. and the squared circle saw him no more. But about year and a half ago Joe became 8 benedict and subsequently, a parent. Ambition stirred. And soon Joe was pulling on the old boxing gloves again. But this time with difference. Even in his heyday, Joe was listless sort of 8 scrapper. He failed to take training seriously. and his philosophy seemed to be What of it ,"
 All this has changed now. Since turning pro a year ago. he has shown every evidence of sincerity applies himself in earnest to the business of training, and is develop ing like a grass fire in a stiff breeze
 He dropped his first four fights as a pro. That would have been suffi, cient to dishearten anyone who did not mean business. Joe kept plug ging. Not long ago he met his old foe of amateur days, Joe Howard and this time he made up all past scores. He kayoed Howard in two rounds. Two weeks later he sent tough Mike Toronto of Bridgeport tc Slum berland in three rounds, Inc flattened Jimmy Rossi in one frame gave Archie White of New York powerful sedatives on two different occasions, and gave the "Wallopine Wop' a terrific trouncing in si2 rounds.
 Critics who have seen Joe puncl of late say he hits harder than Pau Berlenbach ever did. They prophes9 great things for the big blond boy.
 Joe is being trained by Frankie Bush of South Manchester, one time sparring partner of Jack Dempsey Bush has taught the Hartford mauler a lot, and thinks Joe will b. in there doing his stuff against bi: shots in the business.
 The powers that be are certainl, picking them tough enough for Joe This Bobby Brown in addition tt beating Gorilla Jones, has met liar ry Ebbets five times in no decision bouts, holding his own each time and numbers among other opponent he has met, Tuffy Griffiths unt Haakon Hanson

CHIP SHOTS

Thousands of people interested in golf at one time or another have openly wondered why Bobby Jones did not turn professional. The pros have wondered too, and feared that he would. Scores of sports writers have reviewed the question in their columns.
 For seven years, or since Jones |. Atlanta golf wizard has presented in himself sports riddle. If he were wealthy and did not have to work for a living, no one would have considered it unusual for him to remain an amateur.
 But for young man in very moderate circumstances who wes the peer of the golfing world to re- fuse to cash-in on his playing ability was beyond the mSrehension ut most of his admirers.
 As the years have passed and Jones has increased his skill and ] won additional honors on the linl:, without a sign that he would desert the ranks of the simon pures." his friends have become rcconciled to the fact and put it down that It was a passion for ideals that pre- vented him from earning money by golf.
 Jones' own ideas on the subject did not get into print' until last week. In the current issue of q weekly, Bobby dispels any doubt that may still finger in peoples minds about his-e-er+ue9 turning professional. He also gives q straight answer to the question of why he sticks to the ranks of the amateurs.
 He says that it was not idealisnl that kept him there. The golfin, world knows that it was not lack of skill that entered into the ques- ton. Jones recognizes that the big money in the game goes to exhibi- ton players. He knows what that involves and doesn't like it. So for that simple and practical reason he chooses to make his living at some- thing he does like.
 At present Jones is the greatest figure in. golf. He might continue to occupy that position for some time but there are many signs that he will not choose to run after th2 titles much longer. He started u play golf for fun and he wants t7 play it again for that simple reason
 He does not say he is going t1 quit tournament play. But he ;S not given to talking much about himself or his plans, Close obserr, CTS think that, if he wins on bott sides of the Atlantic this spring, htt quest for the amateur crown next fall will mark his last appearances in the big tournaments, for a whil; at least.
 Certain it is that Jones has '1c sentimental feelings about thS sacredness of amateur sport. If hc cared to make golf business, ht would do so. And his attitude to- wards the pros is distinctly at vari. ance with the attitude of the Britis.1 amateur.
 He likes to play with pros an1 beat them if he can but he playi with them with the same feelings a when he plays with amateurs. It ii all the same to him whether his op' ponent makes his living with hiF woods and irons or only employs hi: clubs as recrcational sport imple ments.
 Professional golf is not his busl ness nor is championship golf hi chief pleasure. And yet he coul' make a small sized fortune as pro and would maybe, continue to vii big events for quite some tima Everyone believes that without ask ing Ripley.
