By GEORGE KIRKSEY
lited Pres Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO. Dec. 81. UP) - A
heavyweight elimination tournament
TO select a new champion will be
sanctioned by the National Boxing
Association unless Max Schmellng
of Germany signs a bona fide con-
trac to defend his title within four
days.
General John V Clinnin, presi-
dent of the n. B. A.. said today
that if Schmelings title was yaeat-
ed for failure to defend It within
the six months period prescribed by
N. B. As rules he considered the
following nine men entitled to
enter a tournament TO pick the
Germans successor:
Jack Sharkey. Boston.
Ernie Schaaf, Boston.
Mickey Walker. New Jersey.
Young Stribling. Georgia.
Primo Camera. Italy.
Charley Retzlaff. Duluth, MINI.
King Leyinsky. Chicago.
Larry Gains. Canadian negro.
Helm Mueller, Germany.
Tommy Ioughran, Phlladelphla,
and Tuffy Griffith, Chicago, might
also be permitted to enter such
tournament, Clinnin said. Griffiths
is temporarily inactive because OF
a recent operation for appendicitis.
The status of Jack Dempsey, for
mer champion who is on the verge
of attempting his second comeback,
will remain uncertain as far as the
N. B. A. is concerned until Demp-
sey proves he can fight in legiti-
mate match.
Dempsey will have to fight again
before he can be given any consid-
Grafton by the n. B. A said Clin-
min. He has been inactive for
four years and there is some doubt
i as to whether he is capable of re-
gaining his former form.

ACTIVE FIGHTS
in COMING YEAR

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 81. (U,P)
One big fight In 1882 and possi-
bly, two are on the ring program for
Jack Dempsey's return to top rat
ing among the heavyweights, the
former champion said today.
Although leaving most of III c
talking to his ready tongued man.
ager, Leonard Sacks. the Old Man.
ASA Mauler was emphatic about
his desire to take part in a battle
at Reno, his present home town,
and If that goes well, another in
the east.
Sacks hauled out a contract, to
which the party of the first part
was kept deep secret, pledging
Dempsey S500,000 to sign on the
dotted line for a title bout with
Max Schmeling. But Dempsey is
more given to eyeing Primo Car
nera or some other member of the
beef trust before descending on
the champions stronghold.
After visiting Los Angeles, Sacks
will go east to arrange another
| transforming tour and Dempsey
will return to Reno for three weeks
of intensive training. With Jim
!; Mckay and Bill Graham, Reno
sportsmen who are taking an active
part in promoting the proposed
Dempsey -Carnera fight in their city
the ex-champion and Sacks left
for the south early today.
Reports from the east that Sam
my Goldman. manager of Tony
Canzoneri, claimed TO be represent
ing Dempsey. brought denials from
the fighter and Sacks. They smiled
broadly at reports of a rift be-
tween them.

TROJANS MADE
BIG FAVORITES
TO WIN GAME
BY GEORGE II. BEALE
United Press staff Correspondent

| United Press staff Correspondent
PASADENA. Calf. Dec. 81. UP)
Southern California's football team
will go against Tulane here tomor-
row the greatest favorite in the
history of the colorful Tournament
of Roses interseetional clash.
This was made certain today
when odds of to l and 20 points
at even money were posted on the
powerful Trojan eleven.
Since Tulane was the only major
undefeated team of the country in
the regular gridiron season, credit
for such unseeming odds appar-
emily belonged solely to the native
sons enthusiasm for native
products.
True, Southern California de-
feated Georgia 60 to and Tulane
took the Bulldogs only 20 to 7 but
seven points was the best that was
being given on the New Years day
classic a week ago.
Gradually this was built up point
by point until it reached its pres
ent proportions and canny Tulane
hackers still were asking more
points today and hoping, naturally,
for the most.
The extremes to which point
giverS were going could be read in
the records which showed that III
the "A years of New Years day
intercollegiate competition only
three games were won by 20 points
or more.
Those were in 1921 when Cali
fornia defeated Ohio State. % to 0,
IN 1880 when Southern California
defeated Pitt, Al to IA. and in 1881
when Alabama defeated Washing
ton State, "a to O.
The size of those three scores
generally amazed close followers
of football and in none of those
games was the winner favored By
more than seven points at game
time.
Jones Annoyed
Most annoyed by the enthusiasm
over Southern California was Coach
Howard Jones of the Trojans who
pointed out to his charges that
their opponents of the morrow had
lost only one game in three years
and were rated country wide as
very great team.
He told them how Tulane al
ready had been given the national
championship by many and how
while Southern California was
given the title under the Dickerson
rating system, that the Erskine
award was to be made on the re-
suit of the New Years day clash.
Jones sent his men through a
brief but brisk workout this morn
ing at Rose Bowl, scene of the an
nual New Years day clash He
said the practice was the regular
tapering off procedure but added
that he wanted his men TO get the
touch of the turf there.
Following the use practice,
Coach Bernie Bierman took his
Tulane eleven there and put it
through an almost identical session.
The business office of the Tour
nament of Roses announced that
record crowd would fill Rose Bowl
since the ticket sale was lowering
around $4,000. The largest pre-
vious New Years day crowd was
slightly over 10000 when Southern
California played Pitt. That year
the bowl was filled to capacity but
since then it has been enlarged.

out promising anything, that 81.

 Programs Next Task

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 14.- Crucial tests of 1t stability to func- ticn with any degree of effective ness are upon Congress which en- ters its second week with substan- tialily nothing done. The first test will come with the organization Of a half hundred committees, job that Democratic leaders strove to complete while preserving peace in the party membership,
 The Moratorium ratification con- fronts the Ways and Means Con- mittee body; one of the committees already organized. Appropriations bills for the various Government Departments start now through the various b-committees of the Ap- propriations Committee, which is organized.
 The Democratic members of the Ways and Means Committee are now faced with drawing up ti-t party tax program.
 Democrat May Be Senate President
 On the Senate side, troubles re- main with the Republicans. G. o P. leaders proposing to get the committees organized are duckin2 while the election of President pro-tem is held in abeyance With a deadlock over Senator George Il Moses, candidate and caucus nom- inee for reelection. The outlook now is that the post may fall tc the Democratic Senator Key Pitt man of Nevada, Democratic noml- nee for the position.

OSLO, Norway, Dec. IA Two men, almost dead, floated ashore last Saturday near the village of Maaloey in a life boat which also contained four bodies of their con- rades, all members of the crew of the German trawler Venus, said to be a rum runner.
 Seventeen other members of the crew, are unaccounted for and are believed dead.

GAS EXPLOSION WRECKS HOUSE,;
 WOMAN KILLED
Fumes from Heater Believ. ed Ignited by Elec-
 tric Bed Pad

PASADENA, Cal, Dec. 14.-Ti.e explosion which early Saturday morning wrecked the home of A. w. Baker, wealthy California and Ohio oil man, and killed Mrs. Baker as she slept, is attributed to gas leaking from the bedroom heater and not to dynamite as at first suspected.
 The police said they believed gas leaked from the heater and was ignited by an electric warming pad in the bed, or the explosion might have been caused when a match was struck to light the heater.
 When Baker awoke in a hospital he suspected enemies had planted dynamite beneath the house and the police worked for several hours on that theory.
