ARMY CONCEDED
EDGE

New York, Dec. 1l.-(P-The casts
long football season comes to an end
Saturday with the 32nd clash between
Army and Navy.
The two service academies meet not
as regular season rivals but in an
extra-added feature on the common
ground Of charity.
For the second time in as many
years the receipts will 60 to the fund
for the unemployed.
Pre- game estimates indicate q
crowd Of $4,000 in the Yankee stadium
and receipts in excess Of 100000.
Although the athletic "break" be-
tween the two schools Is just as wide
now as it was in December, 1927,
when the Army declined to adopt the
three-year eligibility rule at the
Nays demand, the fact remains they
are natural rivals meeting in game
which both are primed to win,
. Army's record is by far the more
impressive but most experts figure the
Cadets pointed" for the Notre Dame
game which they wod, 1910. and per-
haps have lost that fine edge that
made them look 50 impressive against
the Ramblers.
Navy, on the other hand, has ad-
vanced slowly toward the peak of
condition.
Weather prospects were for rain
Friday night making it almost certain
the game would be played on Slip

GIBBONS EXPRESSES SURPRISE
ATDEMPSEY'S GOOD CONDITION
SPORT SLANTS
BY ALAN GOULD

For the second straight year st.
Mary's college has proved an out
standing exception in the general
trend toward reduced football attend
ance and gate receipts.
The little school from the Moraga
Valley, near San Francisco, has an en-
rollment of only TOO students, but 1t
produced an eleven that helped at
tract approximately 4O0, 900 spectators
during a ten game schedule.
This total Is q big increase over
1890, when the Gaels galleped from
coast to coast.
Russ Newland reports to us that st.
Mary's drew around 10000 against
Southern California and 69. $50 against
California, on successive Saturdays
early in the season: $4,000 with Santa
Clara, and about the same figure for
the Southern Methodist game at San
Francisco. N
st. Mary's, under the coaching Of
Slip Madigan, has displayed faculty
for producing colorful gridiron per-
formers. Larry Bettencourt was one
of the best centers ever developed on
the Pacific coast. Ike Frankain was
an All-America end q few years ago.
Fred Stennett finished conspicuous
backfield career q year ago with the
Gaels.
When the team came east, metro
politan critics were agog over the line
bucking Of Angel Brovelli. whose ber-
serk rushes defeated Fordham. This
year the spotlight has been on Francis
(BuO Toscani. who has toted the pig
skin all over the premises with q fine
disregard for anything or anybody In
his way.

Kirkwood, driving the automobile,
backed into packing space. Smith
stuck out his right arm and his wrist

Boxing Tourney
Gets Under Way
Thirty-Four Light Heavyweights
Aspire to Rosenbloom's
Crown

Chicago, Dec. 1l.-(R)-The busi-
ness of sitting q light heavyweight
boxing champion from a batch OF "a
asprants, will begin Friday night at
the Chicago stadium In the opening
round of the National Boxing associa-
tion's elimination tournament.
The tournament became necessary,
as far as the N. B. A., was concerned,
when Make Rosenbloom Of New York
failed to defend the title during the
time limit prescribed by the associa-
tion. Forty-four l75-pounders signed
up, and after those who were not
deemed capable and those who had
failed to post forfeits were culled out
"a remained.
Ten of the 81 will go into the hop
per Friday night, providing five bouts
at eight rounds. An unusual feature
Of tonight's card is that there will be
five winners. Major General John "
Clinnin, chairman of the Illinois state
athletic commission and president OF
the N. B. A. has decreed that there
will be no draw decisions.
The ten who 60 into action tonight
are: Dave Maier, Milwaukee, and
Roy Williams, Chicago; Harry Ebbets
Brooklyn, and Willie Oster, Boston;
Humberto Curl, Argentine, and Clyde
Chastain, Dallas, Tex, Baxter Gaines
Wichita, Kas., and Mario Campi
Italy; and Billy Jones, Philadelphia

Braves Will Make
Basketball Debut
Hebron Aggregation to Provide
Opposition For Veteran
Mandan Team

Basketball will make its initial bow
in Mandan tonight when the Braves
step out on the hardwood to resist an
invasion by the Hebron aggregation.
Just what the visitors will offer Is
q matter of conjecture, according to
Leonard McMahan. who said that He
bron's team Is built around two let
termen with more or less green ma
terial filling in the gaps.
Mandan, on the other hand. has
eight seasoned veterans ready to go
into action as well as promising
crew of youngsters who have seen SER
vice with the Papooses, Mandan re-
serve outfit.
McMahan has been putting his
charges through their PAGES for the
last two weeks, stressing fundamentals
and conditioning his men. The play
of the Warriors still is ragged, accord
ing to their mentor, who said the
squad was slow in getting out OF the
early season doldrums.
No starting lineup Of either squad
has been announced but it was ex-
pected the starting quint for Mandan
would be selected from among the
eight lettermen. They are Dietrich
Boehm, Byerly. Dietrich, Hecker
Spielman, Saunders, Smith, and Sol
um.

Ben jacobson, Bismarck, Only
Forward Likely to Break
Into Veteran Lineup
Y akc. Y. s. eAY. on

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 11-Rr
just how much chance the University
Of North Dakota will have in the
North Central conference basketball
race will depend on what Coach Glenn
Leitch can dig up among the reserves
and sophomoreS.
Letich has plenty of seasoned ma
terial-lettermen he has used for the
last two campaigns, but there Is Moth
ing brilliant there. The championship
spark will have to be supplied by the
incoming athletes.
North Dakota will have Captain
Vern Duchene, forward or guard;
Lowe and Wexler, regular guards;
Felber, regular center: ellison. vet
eran forward; and Webster, center
and forward, who made his letter last
year. These men are likely to form
the backbone Of the squad, but Letich
hopes that he can find man here
and there good enough to oust some
OF the seasoned performers. Mem
hover, six foot, seven inch sophomore,
may work into the pivot Job before
loop games start. He is showing con-
siderable improvement over his play
as freshman.
Letich has two sophomore guards
who are going well. Smith and Null
len, a pair Of youngsters from Central
High of Grand Forks, appear certain
Of playing q lot Of basketball. The
coach believes Smith will step into
regular Job.
Ben jacobson apparently is the only
forward likely to break into the vet
eran lineup. Jacobson is junior who
looked great last year, but was forced
out of competition with an injured
knee before he played q game.
Among the reserves OF last season Is
Art Malo. Malo seems likely to cause
trouble for the other candidates. He
Is aggressive and q fine shot and may
prove just the spark Letich needs for
q stronger attack.
The coach has made no effort to
pick q team as yet. He will use two
complete outfits in the opening games
against Concordia College here Fri
day and Saturday.

Tommy Says MauIer in Best

Eight Years Ago

st. Paul, Dec. 11.-(F)-Tommy

thinks Jack Dempsey looks nearer
the condition he was In when the To-
cal man fought him at Shelby, Mont,
eight years ago, than at any time
since.
Gibbons expressed that opinion
after watching Dempsey. former
worlds heavyweight champion, work
out here In preparation for an exhibi-
ton boxing program Friday.
Il was pleased and surprised to find
Dempsey down to fighting trim," said
Gibbons, who lost 15-round decision
to Jack at Shelby and who was the
only opponent to escape knockout
by Dempsey from the time he won the
title from Jess Willard until he lost
it to Gene Tunney.
Dempsey is scheduled to box one
round each with Angus Mcdonald.

SCHEDULE LISTS 154 GAMES

Chicago, Dec. 11.-(P)-There will
be less wear and tear on major league
benches and uniforms next season
and salaries will not be quite SO ro-
bust, club owners have decided.
There will be less wear and tear be-
cause the magnates, at the annua.
joint meeting of the American and
National Leagues Thursday, voted to
reduce the player limit from 25 to %
players, trimming the list of bench
warmers.
The decision was made partly as an
economy measure, and partly to give
the weaker clubs a chance to use ca
pable ball players who, as members Of
stronger teams, might see little &C
ton. The salary cut was not speci-
fled, but the general opinion was that
wages would be trimmed 10 per cent
This would save each club about $lO,-
600 annually. The resolution provid-
ing for reductions of salaries was
brief, reading:
"Resolved that by reason Of prevail
ing conditions and the decrease III
attendance at our games, it becomes
necessary that the general operating
expenses, including salary lists OF ball
players of both major leagues, be sub
stantially reduced"
The only moot question over reduc-
ing the play limit was how much they
should be cut. American League
owners favored a cut to % men, while
the National held out for %. The
question was quickly decided by Com
missioner Kenesaw Mountain Lands,
who cast his vote in favor of the Ma
tional League proposal.
It also was decided that there
should be no more synthetic dou-
bleheaders, manufactured N the past
by moving up games to provide at
tractive bargain bills, without the
consent of the approval OF the presi-
dents of both leagues.
The schedules for both leagues
again will list 154 games, but will re-
uuire four days less to accomplish.

PARIS JUDGES OPEN
TRIALS TO The PUBLIC
Protest of Attorneys That Fairness
Demands Free Attendance
Wins Decision.

PARIS.-"Without filled court,
prisoners on trial are not given the
fairest chance" On this plea the
judicial authorities in Paris have de-
cided to revert to the old practice of
allowing the public free access to
Assize Court, which is the principal
criminal tribunal in the city. Defend
ing counsel averred that they could
not put forth their best efforts in an
empty court.
Because the public gave vent to its
feelings by cheering on booing, it was
decided more than year ago that ad-
mission to the AssiZe Court should be
denied to all and sundry. As by law
criminal hearings must be public. some
20 or 80 spectators were tolerated on
condition that they remained standing
at the very back of the court room,
but all the seats in the body of the hall
remained vacant.
Attorneys protested that this rule
worked against the best interests of
their clients. They pointed out that,
psycholog1cally. 1t is the reaction of
the audience that makes a speech good
bad or Indifferent. A man pleading be-
fore empty benches will speak lifelessIy,
conversely, he will warm to his task as
he finds that the feelings of his hearers
are responding to his arguments,
whether favorably or adversely, Is i'm
material
Accepting the theory, the judicial
authorities here decided that the
public will be admitted again to the
Assize Court

HAWAII is "WHlTE SPOT"
ON U. S. BUSINESS MAP
Excess of Exports Over Imports
Near $4,000, 900 Mark for
Year, Governor Reports.

HONOLULU, Hawaii-Hawaiis posi-
ton as white spot" on the American
business map is again emphasized by
the annual report of Gov Lawrence M
Judd. just made public. The Gov
ernor's report shows that Hawaii'S ex-
cess of exports over imports was nearly
S10000,000 for the year. Since the ex-
ports, principally sugar and pineapples,
are sold through highly organized chan
nels, distribution Of Hawaii's goods and
return in cash are steady. The result is
high buying power for the population
generally.
Imports for the fiscal year are slight
ly in excess of the previous year. In
spite of depression, Hawaiian business
generally has gone along on an even
keel, though warnings have been sent
to Pacific Coast ports that unemployed
people should not come here. This is
to prevent an influx of people who
would become public charges or would
have great difficulty in maintaining
themselves.
