 New York, Nov 7.-(Up)-It Is not often that one can find an ex- cuse for putting in good word for the New York boxing commits sion, because the "three-dumb dukes" as the commissioners have been aptly termed, have a knack for doing one of two things (a) the right thing at the wrong time, or. (b) the wrong thing at the wrong time.
 But In creating the dread naught" or "super-palooka" class of heavyweights, the three D. D.'s apparently have crossed themselves completely, and done the right thing at the right time.
 oh yes, know the dreadnaught idea Is absurd, but I also know that 1t is almost certain to drive Primo Camera out of this country, which would be 0 perfectly swell break for everybody, with the pos sible exception of restaurant own CTS who have waxed rich by cater ing to Primo's appetite.
 In the two years Camera has been among us, he and his board of control have done more to give boxing a black eye than any per- son, or persons in years. The man has had some three dozen fights in this country and most of them wound up with the public wander ing out into the street talking to themselves about phenagling. fakes, frameups, and the like.
 As far as I know he gave the customers a run for their money In

Proper Teaching

To prevent any more deaths like Sheridan's, in which the courage ous cadet was killed in the impact of terrific tackle, the practice of tackling would have to be abol- ished. Then you would have touch- ball or something like that. It would hardly be football without the tackle.
 A great deal of injury has been prevented by careful coaches who have taught their men how to tackle. block and plunge safely. Thus. ap layer can be completely blocked out of play by a back who has mastered the little trick of gently nudging his man off bal- ance.
 One important phase of gridlron safety lies in the conditioning of the men. Before every game play CTS on many major varsities take limbering exercises on the field. These body twisting gymnastics prepare them for the rough cir- cumstances of the combat.
 If football is to remain the game it is. adequate teaching and super vision seem to be the only methods by which tho death toll can be re- duced.

but one scrap, that one being his recent shindig with Sharkey.


 When the commission created the "dreadnaught" class 1t nar- rowed the list of men Camera could meet down to a bare three or four. When these foes have been met, Camera will find him. self out of work. Leon See, the Italians cagey little manager ai- ready has perpared for this em- ergency by arranging for an exten- sive European and Latin-Amertcan tour--a tour that will keep Primo busy hopping from one city to an- other for months.
 It is the same sort of barnstorm- ing tour Camera made when he first arrived in this country. Un- less the commission holds a dis armament conference and does away with the "dreadnaught" di- vision, Camera will set sail from these shores near the middle of December.
 If he never comes back so much the better for boxing.
 You figure this one out. Mister Jack Kearns, manager of Mickey Walker, suggested to Jimmy John- ston the other day that Madison Square Garden line up a fight be- tween his man and Willie Stribling.
 My man would love nothing better than to whip Stribling worse than Schmeling did" Mister Kearns said.
 l. Yesterday Johnston informed Kearns Stribling was ready to sign. Whereupon Mister Kearns took a |run-out powder, as the boys say. and refused to have nothing to do with Stribling, saying 1t was all q horrible mistake and that he meant Johnny Risko. s

NOt Much Change

In 1906 there were II football deaths. In the following year there were the same number. And last year there were IS. Since 1906 the lowest number of deaths in q sea- son occurred in 1918 when there were five, and the highest number in 1925 when there were 20. Slight changes in the rules, such as prohibiting hurdling. introduce ton of the forward pass and the like, have not seemed to have any great effect on the number of deaths.
 The facet remains that in physi- cal combat there is always the re- mote possibility of fatality. When two men meet, full speed ahead, you have 0 collision that might be Injurious.

Football Deaths

Not much can be done to prevent occasional fatalities on the fields of football battle, such as the recent death of Cadet Dick Sheridan of West Point--not much at least while the present fundamentals of the game are retained.
 There was a great deal of agita- ton 25 years ago following a num- Der of deaths and crippling injur- les. The game was banned at some colleges Schools began to demand written permission from parents or guardians before allowing their young charges to play.
