LONG ARMS AID
To 'KENNA

Although local boxing fans will
see a new face on the Alexandria
Day Nursery boxing card Tues
day night at the Portner Arena
in frankie McKenna, the boy who
meets Billy Landers in the top
spot of the night, a few local
boxers are we'll acquainted with
him.
frankie De Angelo was the first
to taste the cup of defeat at the
hands of McKenna. Nick An
tonelli, a most improved boy, was
not quite good enough for frankie.
Jimmy Tramberia had to be
licked twice before he would rec
ognize Frankie's superiority.
Fears Nobody In Ring
Landers will have plenty of
trouble with Fred Barth's punch
or. He has long arms and a pair
of shifty underpinnings. He can
take it and fears none of his op-
ponents.
McKenna is originally a Fred
ericksburg, Va, boy. He moved to
Baltimore when he was IL years
of age where he began boxing in
amateur ranks. Fred Barth was
quick to recognize his possibilities
and took him under his wing.
Weight HAndicapS
McKenna, like Landers has
been handicaped by their weights.
frankie cleaned up everything in
the bantam class in the State of
Maryland. In an attempt to get
work he was forced to take on
many featherweights where he
was boxing out of his class.
AL Martin holds a verdict over
him. Martin scaled 13O when they
did battle.

lieves this tuSsle will be a Slam

ing the disagreement between the
two academies.
Age Is Important
There is quite bit to this age
business.
Age" and athletic age" are
very different matters, as a rule
For instance, there are many
young men who are 20 years of
age but who are % years of ath-
letic age. Also, there are many
young men 20 years of age who
are only 18 years of athletic age.
Regardless of causes, Army drew
the former, avy the latter.
This fact, naturally. resulted in
creating an unbalanced condition.
OF course, West Point had moth
ing to do with Navy's awkward
position in football. Nor does
Navy blame Army.
1--WE must improve our position,
not destroy Army's," said one
naval officer. Just how to do it,
however, is puzzling. Some feel
that it is next to impossible"
This statement by a naval
officer naturally leads one to ask
the question: why not equalize
the whole matter by raising the
age limit for entrance into An
napolis to the same level as for
entrance into West Point?'
Age Limit InfIexible
At first blush it seems a COM
paratively easy and simple mat
ter to raise the age limit for
entrance into Annapolis to %
years.
However, it is anything bu6
easy, anything but simple. 1t is
difficult, and it is complicated.
Indeed, it requires an act of
Congress to raise the age limit
for entrance into Annapolis from
20 years to % years.
Tomorrow Harry Costello will
explain the Navy Departments

age of entrance into the Naval
Academy from 20 years to 22
years, that athletic parity might

SUB FOR WAR

HAMILTON, N. Y, Dec. II.
Football is a moral substitute
for war and it makes the
right kind of manhood"
This assertion of DR.. George
Barton Cutten, president of Col
gate University, was widely COM
mented upon today.
DR.. Cutten made the remark
during a speech at the Colgate
athletic banquet in which he
also condemned criticism made
decently about football. He
added:
I'VE regret the fatalities
of the season, but they are
not to be attributed to any
one play.
Lets not eliminate any one
play. Some indirect method
should be made to offset the
criticism of the flying wedge
to make football a better
game to play and a better
game to watch"
Harvey j. Harman, football
coach of the University of Penn
sylvania, declared:
Even if there are a few
injuries in football, the game
is worth it,"
He asserted:
American youth is sOftening
in this age. Football is needed
and as long as the American
boy likes to fight and rough
it, there will be football"

firm.
Upturns in Liverpool wheat quota
tons accompanied predictions that Ar
gentine wheat exports this week would
amount to only 2,750,000 bushels. Spe-
cial significance was attached to this
forecast because of word that the Liver
pool market was following the course of
prices at Buenos Aires, and that bet
ter demand had developed at Liverpool
despite increased shipments from Rus
STA totaling 1,776,000 bushels. 1t was
noted that India reported an entire abb

Corn and oats Sympathized with
wheat firmness and also reflected

Some Of the haulers have gone to

LIMITATION OF OIL
IMPORTS IS URGED
Federal Conservation Board in Eff
fort to Aid Hard Pressed
Industry.

An overproduction problem hereto
fore unknown in the history Of the
petroleum business has been encoun-
countered by the Federal Oil Con-
servation Board in its efforts to assist
the hard-preSsed oil industry.
Figures gathered by the board show
approximately 100000 barrels of oil
are produced daily in the United
States and approximately 100000 bar
rels are being imported from foreign
fields controlled directly or indirectly
by American companies.
The board has found that such pro-
duction Is far in excess of needs in
this country and that storage facilities
have been strained to the breaking
point for more than year.
The result Is that the Government
has been called upon to help distressed
independent producers in the so-called
'stripper fields" and larger companies
are faced with handling oil at prices
so low there is no margin for profit.
Into the welter of unWanted and I'M
welcome petroleum the Oil Board has
plunged In an effort to obtain an
agreement limiting imports to at least
100, 900 barrels daily. If this Is reached
the oil-producing States are expected
to tighten the proration laws now in
effect.
All but one of the importing COM
panies have indicated their willingness
to enter into such an agreement. =
