Yale Star Goes
To SanatOriun

WALLINGFORD, Conn. Dec. 2.
U.P)-Albie Booth was surrounded
by football fans today, but under
strangely different circumstances
from those ne has known as Yale's
star back.
Booths new admirers were pa
tients in the Gaylord Farm sanatcr-
ium, and like himself, were recup-
Grating from lung troubles. The
mighty atom" was brought here
late yesterday and placed in one
of the fresh air pavilions which
will be his home for several months
pending his convalescence from an
attack of pleurisy.
AS the patients have listened to
Booths exploits on the gridiron over
broadcasts, SO will he hear of his
team mates in the Saturday Round
Robin tournament, featuring Yale,
Holy Cross, Brown and Dartmouth.
Albie was to have been married to
Miss Marian Noble of New Haven
after his graduation next June. II
his recovery is prolonged, he may
not be able to make up this years
college work, thus necessitating his
return to Sheffield Scientific school
of Yale next year. This delay prob
ably would postpone the marriage.

Cornelius Murphy, one Of three
Fordham football players injured in
the game with Bucknell, November
81, died in Fordham infirmary
today.
Cause of his death was not i'm

His death came as a surprise as
it had been understood that he was
not seriously injured and was re-
covering.
Murphy was a right tackle.

WARNER SAID
TO Be SEEKING
FOR new BERTH

PALO ALTO, Cal, Dec. .. <U.h)-
Glenn Scobey Warner. the old mas
ter of Stanford who led his Cardi-
mails east TO crush Dartmouth,
planned a series of conferences in
New York regarding a new coach
ing position, Mrs. Warner revealed
today.
Mrs. Warmers statement followed
reports that Chick Meehan of New
York university would go to Tulane
and that Warner would be offered
NY.U.
Mr.. Warner has a number of
coaching offers and ne planned to
confer about them in New York
but he has received no offer from
New York university" Mrs. Warner
said.
The coach is now enroute home
with his victorious team.
Warner is not under fire at
Stanford because of his teams
mediocre performance this year,
but he has Indicated several times
his dissatisfaction with the univer-
sity's athletic prospects. Material
is becoming harder to find each
year.
The coach would prefer to remain
here but he regards his long record
jealousy and is not expected to
stay where his chances for success
are not of the best. Money is not
primary object with Warner since
he receives a good salary here and
in addition is director of a Patio
Alto bank. Athletic officials are
awaiting his return for a possible
announcement.

SPARTANS AND
JAYCEES WILL
MEET FRIDAY

AS if they were preparing for
their hardest conference game. the
Central union high school football
team these evenings is in the throes
of practice for the contest that will
end their season when they meet
the local junior college at 2:30 Fri
day afternoon on the high school
field.
And while the high school play
ers are going through all the prac-
tice PAGES, Coach Robert Finn and
his junior college eleven are taking
the coming fray no less seriously,
for the Jaycees have a record of
being unbeaten this year in valley
competition, and are out TO keep
the high school eleven from shat
tering that record.
With two unbeaten teams taking
the field against one another Fri
day. the age-old controversy is
bound to arise, for each team will
be determined against defeat, and
each will be looking down the field
to victory.
Having conquered by large and
sometimes overwhelming scores
every high school team on their
schedule, the Central players meet
their toughest competition in the
junior college eleven, for the Jaycee
group is older, wiser and more ex-
perienced than any other team
pitted against Coach Armstrong;
| bunch this year.
At the high school a big rally was
held this morning, and another is
scheduled for Friday morning.
The high school team is all sci
for the contest, but Coach Arm
strong has been forced to look
around for a competent end, since
it was discovered yesterday CroSby'S
shoulder was hurt in the Coronado
game and he will be unable to play
Proceeds from the game Friday
will go entirely to the relief funo
for FL Centro's unemployed. The

COLIMA-TARLEY
BATTLE TO Be
CRUDGE AFFAIR

Boxing fans who can remember
back a bit will have no difficulty il
recalling the three scraps which
Babe Colima and Pete Sarmiento
staged here last year, all three
bouts being so close that there was
much argument over the decisions.
which if we remember correctly.
were a draw. a win for Sarmiento
and a win for Colima.
The latter gave a fine exhibition
of fighting on each occasion and
sold himself solidly TO the fans.
After a long absence he will be seen
again in action Friday night with
Max farley, a new Filipino sensa-
ton, as his opponent.
Colima has done much of his
fighting around Fresno, where he
is a hero, while Tarley's stamping
grounds has been Bakersfield
There is no love lost between the
two cities and a boy from Bakers
field would like nothing better than
TO scalp one from Fresno. The
contrary is equally true.
The main event looks to be plenty
good but the writer more than likes
the semi-final which viii bring Joe
Saldivar and Jimmy Kremer to-
gether. Both these boys fought on
last weeks card, Joe giving a
splendid pasting to Andy Arm
strong for 10 rounds, while Carl
Hagar went home a badly beaten
man, having failed to take a single
one of six rounds with Kremer.
Both are fast, hard hitters and
clever boxers who should give the
ringsiders one of the best bouts
seen here in a long time.
Johnny CaVoS, the former Gen.
tral union football player, who lost
out in a previous assignment be-
cause of injuries, is booked to meet
Boyd Shaffer of San Diego, reputed
TO be fast boy with a husky wal
lop AS Johnny carries plenty of
dynamite in his mitts, there should
be lots of slugging here.

SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
IN TODAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEM0RE

NEW YORK. Dec. . U.P)-Now
f, I don't always agree with our gov
! ernment as witness my violent pro-
tests to the secretary Of agriculture
on the taste of glue on air mail
stamps, the ferry service to Ellis
Island, and the practice of throwing
/ what appears to be perfectly good
spending money into big con-
crete mixer and chewing it up.
But L want to endorse the gov
ernment's ruling which puts an end
to the 25 per cent federal tax ex-
emption for charity" prizefight
bouts.
The quotes embracing the word
charity are mine. put them there,
if you must know, to indicate that
a goodly portion of these so-called
charity fights result in charity for
everybody but the charity involved.
For years promoters have been
dodging that 25 per cent tax by
billing their shows for this or that
home, that or this society. And i'll
more instances than you could
shake a stick at, charity wound up
behind the eight ball, with the
promoters, fighters. trainers and
what have you pocketing all the
money.
The recent Camera -Campolo shin
dig was an elegant example of your
boxing promoters super generosity
and his willingness to aid the blind,
the lame. the widowed and the poor
with never, never, never thought
to his own wallet. This bout brought
in something like S45,000. Charity
is scheduled to get something like
$4,000. Carnera received $1,000. or
twice the amount charity received.
Even Little Oscar back there on
the last row can see that charity
didn't get such an elegant break
here. what with the promoters and
others taking about 90 cents of
each dollar.
Five thousand dollars. however, is
a lot more than many charities
have received for the use of their
name in the advertising. You'd be
surprised how many times promot-
erS after paying themselves, the
fighters and the hired help, found
there was nothing left for dear old
charity save a sweet smile. a pat
on the back and batch of pretty
unused tickets.
Maybe Harvard knew what it was
doing when it declined to engage
in any charity football games. but
agreed to pass the hat for contribU-
tions. The hat was handed down
the line at the last three Harvard
games and something like $4,000
was dropped in. Judging by the
s21 900 deficit which the Holy Cross
Boston game showed, and the mea-
gre crowd of $500 which viewed
the Penn State-Lehigh affair, Har-
ward had the right idea.

use a coat OF solid color such as
red, and your hat and shoes blues.
Two very smart patriotic cos
