WOULD COUNT TEN
OVER CLAIMANTS
Really Incapacitating Low
Blow Is Rare, They Say.
Solutions Varied.
BY EDWARD J. NEIL
Associated Press Sports Writer.

I'M Ancient Order of Fight
Managers, the graybeards
who should know, have a
few thousand words to say on the
subject of the foul plague that is
tearing today at the throat of
their favOrite paStime.
The cry for some action, some legis-
lation that will definitely curb the evil,
has reached such a pitch within the
last few mont4lS that a half dozen box
ing commissions have increased penal
ties for low punching. Lawmakers are
watching the political weathervane for
boxing law in New York State. So far
the fstic profession itself has had no
opportunity to suggest a cure.
But the managers have cure. In
fact they have three, all decisive, and
strangely enough all far more drastic
and severe than any penalties put in
force so far by State ruling bodies. No
suggestion, however, viii brook for an
instant the idea that the wages of the
gladiators involved in fouls should be
withheld from them by anyone.
Managers Agree.
Lie cure ny q VI NEW
York managers calls for the immediate
counting out of a fighter who goes to
the floor claiming foul. It would punish
the scant minority of the innocent who
really have been hit low with the great
majority of the guilty who either are
deliberately taxing or are taking adj
vantage Of q technicality.
This suggestion, backed by Leo p.
Flynn, who managed Jack Dempsey's
last comeback; Dan Morgan, pilot OF
the former welterweight champion, Jack
Britton; Frank Backman, mentor of
Maxey RoSenbloom, and many others,
is built around the idea that no good
fighter will stay on the floor, foul or no
foul, If he knows that the referee is
about to count him out. These man
ayers believe that an incapacitating
foul Is the rarest thing in the boxing
business. Minor fouls, they insist, are
Just ordinary incidents in a game de-
signed for rough and rugged he-men.
Jimmy Bronson, chief second of Gene
Tunney, adds one qualification to that
plan. He would permit examination by
q physician after the match and q
reversal of the decision II the loser had
been badly fouled. This was the rule
in the A, z. F. boxing overseas during
the World War. Jimmy refereed 1920
DOuJS OVeESedS ana not one 6ilOeu III d
foul. Jim said they fought for glory,
not money, and never thought of fouls.
Johnston Is Drastic.
The chief counter-cure is offered by
Jimmy Johnston, manager of Phil Scott,
whose claims Of foul started most of the
clamor Jimmy insists that rules are
rules and should be enforced; that most
fouls start in fighters corner, where
seconds encourage him to foul until
warned; that more drastic penalties
should be applied and include the foul

puncher's manager, second and even
close relations. Jimmy blames referees
for INDIGESTION and fighters at times for
trying to save wagers by fouling out
when losing.
The mildest reform comes from Ike
Dorgan, former aide to Tex Richard
at Madison Square Garden. Ike would
allow no disqualification for foul, give
the claimant minute rest, punish
the offender by taking points from him.
took all night.
Joe Fight Fan, who week after week
buys his balcony seat and pays the
freight, could see no problem at all.
Make them fight over again the next
week as an added attraction before you
pay them and watch those eggs quit
foulinng," he said. This suggestion
positively horrified the managers.

loot BALL has had its full share of
great quarterbacks, but as far as one
can measure all-around performances
the late Walter Eckersall led the field
Eckie died Monday, and in his passing
great fellow and one of the best of
the athletes left an open gap in the
ranks.
Eckersall was not only Walter Camps
all-America pick at quarter, but he was
also his selection for all-time honors.
He was star in every detail of quarter
back playa heady field general, bril-
liant broken field runner, an exceptional
combination of punter and drop-kicker
and strong defensive back.
In three different games he drop
kicked i've goals, and in every game
he played through four years his punt
ing was a big factor In Chicago's play
He was a Maroon flash with the ball,
and he was one of the few who could
take kick at top speed with no fear
of tumble or muff. Rival ends down
the field on kick always had to hit a
flying target when the ball settled in
Eckie's arms. And If they missed the
stampede was on.
One Great Play.
ONE Of the first meetings of Ecker
~ sail and Willie HeSton is still re-
membered as a foot ball classic
Michigan and Chicago met that day
upon a field covered with light snow.
On this particular play Heston broke
through the Maroon line and within
few strides the big Michigan back was
free with only the 145-pound Chicago
safety man barring the road.
In place Of attempting to dodge, Hes
ton came at Eckersall with the rush Of
a buffalo. Eckie came in and dived for
the knees. But as he dived, Heston
jumped clear and clean to land beyond
and keep on his way. Skating along
on the ground, Eckie was up in half a
breath and the aStonished Heston, an
extremely fast 185-pounder, found him
self hauled down from behind before
he had run 80 yards.
After graduation Eckersall gathered
, further fame as a sporting writer and
foot ball referee. His span of friends
extended from one coast to another,
and to thousands of these his death
came as q heavy personal loss. Lik
