SOUTH DECIDES
. ON GRID HONOR

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 19.-Strict
amateurism in southern football,
regulated by an all-powerful COM
mission, was assured by the
Southern Conference.
Voting today after an all night
session, coaches and athletic di-
rectors representing the % mem
ber colleges, emerged with two
important changes on the books.
Employment of a full-time COM
mission TO supervise athletics and
the status of athletes of member
schools was voted.
The conference also adopted a
set of proposals aimed at barring
recruiting of athletes from sec
ondary schools and to eliminate
subsidization of players.
Three other drastic regulatory
acts were adopted.
Radio broadcaSting of confer
ence games, use of motion or still
pictures in scouting or instruc-
ton, and the taking of newspaper
photographs from the side lines
were banned.

OVER 3FOES

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Dec. 10.
Jack Dempsey came to the end
Of his initial exhibition tour today
with three more ScalpS dangling
from his belt.
Before the largest crowd that
has ever attended a boxing show
in South Dakota, the ManasSa
Mauler proved that he still posses
ses the stamina and killer instinct
that made him the most popular
heavyweight champion of all time.
Dempsey peppered all three OF
his opponents with vicious left
hooks to the head and body, inter
spersed with occasional right
crosses to the chin. Surprising
was the fleet footwork of the for
mer champion, who swerved and
bobbed, slipping in and out like
the man-killer Of the Willard-Car-
pentier- -Firpo days.
Dempsey badly battered his
first opponent, Louis Zack, OF
Sioux City, Iowa, who weighed
200 pounds. Zack was floored
twice for the count Of nine.
Jacks second opponent was
Herman Raschke, Of Watertown,
S. D., who weighed 237 pounds.
Raschke was stopped in less than
one minute.
The former champion toyed
with his third opponent, Charley
Paulsen, of Sioux City, hitting
him at will.
The show last night brought
Dempsey's present tour to a close
and the former heavyweight
monarch will return to his home
at Reno, New, To rest until Janu-
ary 10, when he begins a second

Not Asking, Telling

"WouId The Times please help
them locate the boys and girls
to get these gifts?" was the
joint query Of Griff and his
Man Friday, Mr.. Walters.
Would they. Mr.. Griffith!
We are not asking you, we are
telling you!
Indeed The Times will! It
will find a boy or girl for every
Walter Johnson baseball game
you have to award, and all The
Times hopes is that you have
enough to go around, because
there are hundreds in Washing
ton who possibly wouldn't get
any toys were it not for this
thoughtful ana generous ges-
tire on the part of the men
at the head of the local ball
club.
On the comic page, therefore.
in conjunction with The Times
Adventure Club which started
yesterday for the junior read
ers of this newspaper, you boys
and girls will learn all about
getting one of these Walter
johnson baseball games, a toy
which will not only keep the
children interested hour upon
hour, but will fascinate their
elders as we'll.
Then there is an added joy
about getting this Walter John
son Christmas token-that of
going to the baseball park on
the day before Christmas and
receiving it personally from
baseball's greatest living char.

tunity to shake hands with

eventful for the District duckpin
fan.
For the last half dozen Satur-
days, special matches between
All-Star men, women and juvenile
teams as well as blue ribbon
sweepstakes have drawn large
crowds to various drives.
Tonight will be no exception.
Three intercity matches will hold
the attention of the local addicts,
two in washington and one in
Baltimore. and all featuring out
standing bowlers.
At the Lucky Strike, the King
Pin girls will conclude their match
with the Tiny Town All-Stars Of
Richmond, starting at'7:30. This
clash failed to draw the interest
it merited last Saturday.
It is the most important femi-
nine match in which a Wash
ington team has rolled this year.
In fact, one of the leading
matches Of the last five years.
Break Record
The King Pin girls broke a
national record of five years
standing in the opening block at
Richmond with their 2545 total.
This topped by many pins the
former mark of 2430 made by an
all-Star Washington team in Janu.
ary, 1925. The Richmond damSelS,
trailing by 81 pins, also topped
the former mark. Tomorrow
nights results are sure to eStab-
liSh a new ten game team record
for women, with either team hav-
ing a chance for the honors.
The Richmonders are led by
Polly Dozier, colorful Virginia
State women's champion; Helen
Randlett, Anna Grubbs, Bobbs and
McCurey. These girls, an all-star
team, gathered for special matches,
hold a decision over Baltimore
all-Star team.
Lorraine Gulli, Billie Butler,
Marie Whalen, Helen Sullivan,
and Loretta Leaman compose the
King Pin team, which is at pres
ent tied for third place in the
Ladies District League.
Pacini Faces Barnes
The match which will hold the
bulk of the attention will be
rolled in Baltimore, when, Ollie
Pacini, Washington Times Dixie
Sweepstakes champion, meets Ray
Barnes, N. D. P. B. C. all-event
titleholder, in the opening block
of a home-and.home singles match.
It will be supplemented by a
doubles match. with Pacini and
Red Megaw carrying the Wash
ington colors against Barnes and
Wesley Askew. A roofing section,
headed by Chester Bid, will cheer
the Temple aces on.
The third intercity affray will
be the finish of the match be-
tween Georgetown Recreation and
Annapolis Buick at the George
town Recreation drives. Ray
Phipps, whose new Central.South
Atlantic, three-game, 462-set record
was officially approved a few
days ago, will lend luster to the
Annapolitans lineup. The George
townerS are leading by five pins,
gained in a whirlwind finish at
Annapolis last Saturday.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Tommy
Loughran, the dapper Philadel-
phia professor who has been Civ.
ing boxing lessons to heavyweight
hopefuls for 10, these many years,
found himself near the end OF
the fistic trail today. while King
LevinSky, a new star. uSurped his
place as a result of one II the
years outstanding upsetS.
Levinsky a former Chicago fish
peddler, floored the old master
three times for a count Of nine in
their 10-round bout at Madison
Square Garden last night, and
walked off with the decision.
Loughran, a 3-to-1 favorite, was
on Queer Street on several other
occasions and was saved from q
Knockout by his experience and
Levinsky's over-anxiouSneSs.
OutbOxed Levensky
Loughran outboxed the wild
swinging Jewish slugger most Of
the way. frequently making him
miss by as much as a foot. But
the minute the Philadelphian be-
came the least bit careless or
attempted to mix it, one Of the
King FiSh'S haymakers would
land and down would go Tommy
It was Loughran'S first de-
feat in his last Is starts. since
he lost two decisions to Ernie
Schaaf 1S months ago. AS early
as the first round. when one Of
Levinsky'S swinging rights made
Tommy'S knees sag. it was ap-
parent that age was taking its
toll of stamina and speed from
the old master.
In the third round the King
Fish beat Loughran to the punch
and sat him down for count
of nine with a right to the head.
Knocked into the ropes for an
other count of nine in the next
round. he managed to elude the
over-eager King Fish by circling
around the ring.
FOrgetS to Duck
Save for occasional embarrassing
moments when he forgot to duck,
Loughran proceeded to outlook Le-
whisky until the ninth round when
Levinsky sent him crashing to the
floor with hard right to the
chin.
Tom was so dazed that he
staggered to the wrong corner
and sat down on the Chicagoan's
stool. He was still in a fog in
the tenth session, but managed
to go the route.
Levinsky. the answer to a pro,
moter's prayer for a good Jewish
heavyweight, landed three punches
that counted more than the three
hundred he missed. The decision
in his favor was unanimous.
The King Fish weighed 1914
pounds to 1872 for Loughran. Ap.
proximately 1000 spectators paid
$21, 900 to see the show.
