HARD PUNCHING
PROMISED FANS
IN MAIN EVENT

Punch, with a capital "P," is the
description Of what may be ex-
pected Friday night at the Imperial
Valley Athletic club when Al AL
! cante and Dick RamieS meet in the
10-round main event, for both boys
are hard punchers.
When a Filipino is larger than
the average run of the island boys.
he usually carries a hefty sock and
this is true in Alcante's case. The
smaller boys usually depend upon
speed and skill to get them by, most
of them being shy on hitting power.
In his several fights here Alicante
has shown a wallop like the kick of
mule and when he connects the
other boys teeth Go plenty of rat
Ting.
Ramies is also a hefty walloper
and has II main events in San
Diego to his credit.
In addition to wanting a win over
the other fellow, both boys will be
battling for another chance at
Charlie Cobb, the cowboy king of
San Diego boxing Alicante has a
draw, a win and a loss with Cobb
and wants another chance. So does
Ramies, who met Cobb twice.
In the semi-final Harry Wood
bury has brought back Nino Perez,
the fast youngster from San Ber-
nardino, who made such a big hit
with local fans on a couple of ap-
pearances here just before the
arena was closed. He showed lots
of class on those occasions and will
be given Kid Exposito Of the Phil
ippines, to tame Friday night.
Louis Reyes, who wasn't going SO
good during the summer, will be
seen in the special spot against
Carl Hagar. At first crack the fans
might think this is no match, but
the boys have met before, and while
he could whale the daylights out of
most of his opponents, Hagar has
always found the BraWley boy a
tough nut to crack. 1t ought to be
a great scrap while it lasts with
Ragar having the edge but any
thing likely to happen.
Kid Mexico, the Brawley veteran,
will try to stow away Pilino Gar
cia of Calexico in the opener.
The bouts just now are starting
at $50 instead of the old hour OF
8 o'clock.

TROJAN HOPES
TO REST ON
STAR QUARTER
BY GEORGE III. BEALE
United Press Staff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 17.-South-
ern California usually goes as Or
vile Mohler goes SO all Trojan
supporters are praying that the
elusive quarterback will be good
Saturday.
On his Slight shoulders, at 165
pounds, he is the lightest Southern
California regular, rest the hopes of
a Trojan victory over Notre Dame
at South Bend.
1t is automatic on the coast that
the Trojans start moving as soon
as Mohler enters a game and it is
automatic that the Trojans lost
only when Mohler performed below
par.
Mohler was stopped for the first
time last year when Notre Dame
came here and defeated use,
81 to 0. He was stopped once this
year, by st. Mary's of Moraga, and
st. Mary's beat his team IS to T.
In all other games the shifty ball
carrier was the spark plug that led
Southern California to scores and
victories.
His most unusual performance
this year was against Oregon uni
versity, conqueror OF N.Y.U.
Mohler went into the game at the
end Of the first quarter when
Southern California was leading
only 7 to O.
The first time Mohler touched
the ball he went off tackle, eluded
two Oregon backfield men and out
ran the rest 40 yards to a touch
down.
Mohler touched the ball for the
second time when he intercepted an
Oregon pass on his own 43-yard
line and ran 81 yards to a touch
down.
Three plays later he handled the
ball for the third time. In this in
stance he passed to Sparkling for
touchdown.
Three times he handled the ball
and three touchdownS resulted.
Coach Howard Jones then removed
him.
Thirty-four Trojans will make
the trip to South Bend. Brief
stops for workouts will be made at
Tucson, Ariz., Wednesday morning,
and at Hutchinson, Kans., Thurs
day afternoon. The train will reach
Chicago at oils a. m. Friday, and
the Trojans will go directly to Stagg
field for a practice session, then to
their hotel. They will move on to
South Bend Saturday morning.

~ it is true that he mas amassed
team of fighters, benching the
first stringers Of former years and
reaching down into the third and
fourth teams for men who con-
formed to his standard. They held
the powerful Trojans scoring ma
chine to a lone touchdown and
won their other conference games.
They have Ralston Gill, the Or
cult farmer boy who probably is
the greatest fullback in the confer
ence, and Henry Schaldach, DASH
ing triple threat halfback, in addi-
ton to a fighting but inexperienced
line.

CHINA TELLS THE
 WORLD TO KEEP ITS HANDS OFF
National Peoples COnvefl- ton Backs China's AbOli- ton of Unequal Trea- ties" With Foreign Na- lions

Nanlsing, China, May 14-(UP)-- The national peoples convention stood on record to-day in support of the governments recent declarav tion abolishing the unequal treaties" at the end of this year.
 A manifesto was adopted declar- ing theAtreaties on extraordinarily or consular jurisdiction enjoyed by foreigners in China, abolished as of January i, 1881. Abolition on that date previously had been declared by Dr c. T. Wang, foreign minister. Changed conditions in China were cited in the manifesto, which, it was declared, made 1t possible no longer to "countenance unilateral privileges or impairment of sovereignty and territorial integrity" the Kuo Min news agency reported.
 It was asserted that the powers which are attempting to maintain the treaties--including the United States--advanced only irrelevant pretexts and overlook the develop- ment of China" which 1t was de- clared had reached a point that "does not require interference by foreign countries"
 The manifesto cited the achieve ment of tariff autonomy and aboh- ton of "Likin,n a form of internal transit tax, as examples of China's ability to control its own destinies in future. It was declared that the peo- pie had decided to abrogate the Unequal treaties'' in order ito ter-. minate conditions repugnant to the principles of justice and equality"

 League Comments
 Geneva. May 14-(PU)-Defeat of .Aristide Briand, French foreign minister, for the presidency of France was seen to-day as a bless ing in disguise. by leaders in the League of Nations, which Briend helped to found after the World war.
 It was believed that Briand would retain his present position as the French permanent delegate to the League, now that Senator Paul Doumer was elected president of France over him.
 League. authorities indicated a belief that Briand would be able to render greater services in his capa- city as permanent delegate, not only to world peace but to France itself. It was felt that Briand, together with Sir Austen Chamberlain, Brit ish statesman, and the late Gustav Stresemann. foreign minister in postwar Germany. were the three great personalities who had contrib uted most to the league development and establishment of the League Council on basis of authority.
 Briand Is regarded as the last re- maining personality of the council able to exercise the influence neces- sary to maintain European peace on the basis of the treaty of Locarno.

WHO DouMER IS. .

Paris, May 14. - (UP)-Paul Doumer, who strongly resembles Charles Evans Hughes except in stature. has held for 43 years one job or another in the government serv- ice. His most successful service has been as president of the senate. which he has ruled firmly and Automatically.
 The story of Doumer's sacrifice of four sons in the war Is tragic even in France, where every family felt some loss.
 His first son, a young officer of artillery, died in the early days of lopen fighting. Two sons started in the trenches and when they were too gravely wounded for more trench fighting volunteered for aviation. They both rose to captain, each brought down several enemy planes and both fell during the same com bat. The fourth, a major, died a few days after the Armistice from effects of gas which he inhaled while talk ing care of some of his wounded men. ~
 Born March 22, 1857, at Aurillao, sor and journalist, Doumer entered
  ment from Chateau Thierry in April l18S8.
 l His first cabinet portfolio was as
 minister of finance in the Bourgeois
 cabinet. November 1, 1895 to April I2, 1Ss6, when he drafted the first project of an income tax. His nexi
 step was into the colonies as gov
 ernor of Undo China from 1sss te l1902.
