NEW YORK, Jan. 26. U.P)-The
heavyweights having failed to draw
more than enough to pay the ush-
ers, Madison Square Garden this
week will feature the little fellows
on its Friday night card.
The program is headlined by a
10-round bout between Jackie kid
Berg of England, and Herman Per-
lick, lightweights. Should this pair
draw a decent sized house it would
not be at all surprising to see box
ing's biggest trading post side
track the heavyweights for fighters
in the smaller divisions. Such a
move would please the customers
for after such bouts as Charles VS.
Renault, Baer VS.. Heeney, and
Schaaf VS.. Braddock, any change
would come as a relief.
This is Bergs first start here
since he whipped Billy Petrolle, the
same Petrolle that trimmed Jimmy
McLarnin. Berg is determined to
secure another match with Tony
Canzoneri, lightweight champion
whom he whipped before the Ital-
ian took AL Singer and the title.

SAVOLDI'S TEAM
WINNER OF FINAL
CRIDIR0N GAME

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26. W.R>-
Football made its belated departure
from the Pacific coast in blaze OF
glory yesterday afternoon when a
picked team captained by Jumping
Joe" Savoldi defeated a team of all
stars from st. Marys, Stanford and
other schools 13 to 0.
The two elevenS, comprising
probably as pretentious roll-call
of former all-Americans as had ever
taken a western field, struggled for
three quarters without either
threatening to score.
Early in the final period, Don
Moses, one time halfback at South
ern California, intercepted a pass
on the Gaels' 36-yard line and tore
past three tacklers to cross the line.
Benny" LON, California halfback
of 1929 and previous years, place
kicked the extra point.
A few minutes later, Savoldi, who
had been resting an injured knee,
went into action. The Savoldi
forces got the ball on the Gaels'
30-yard line when Bert Schwartz,
former all-American guard at Cali
fornia, broke through, blocked
Nevers' punt and recovered.
Two plays afterward, Savoldi Slip
ped through guard, shook off an
other tackler and raced down the
sideline for a touchdown. Russ
Saunders, former U. S. c. ace, failed
at a try for a dropkick.
For the losers, Ernie Nevers, STAN
ford immortal, was outstanding for
the SO minutes of hard football he
played.
Savoldi showed more speed and
deception slipping off tackle than
has been seen here in many moons.
Three times he ripped through the
secondary for gains of more than 20
yards.
Besides Savoldi, the play of the
winners was topped by the perform
ances of Schwartz, Moses, Saunders
and LON. Second only to Nevers
among the Gaels were Cowboy"
Smith, Butch" Simas. Captain Lar
ry Bettencourt and George Acker-
man, all formerly Of st. Marys.
Some 10000 fans attended the
game, receipts going to the Knights
of Columbus unemployment fund.
