WALKER SCORES KAY0
in LESS THAN ROUND
De Kuh, 4S Pounds Heavier,
Floored Four Times After
Landing Single Blow.

BY the Associated Press.
T OS ANGELES, December Mickey
~ walker, the Rumson, N. j., rocker,
knocked out the giant New York
italian, Arthur De Kuh, after minute
and "a seconds of the first round Of
their scheduled 10-round fight last
night, to the great disgust Of booing
crowd of 5000 spectators.
Walker spotted his opponent 48
pounds, weighing in at IT'S.
A solid right to De Kuh's face was
the beginning of the end. but Walker
knocked him down four times with as
many right punches before the Italian
stayed down.
The ponderous De Kuh numbered out
of his corner to slip a left hook over to
Walkers head as the bout opened, and
that was the only blow the New Yorker
landed
De Kuh went down for a nine count
twice and was up a third time, after
seven seconds, only to have the former
welter and middleweight champion of
the world put him away with a right
uppercut.

Columbia Golfers Hot on Trail
Of Cy Cummings Cup Held Year
Bv vSteyinsOn-Woodward Team

Bones and Everett Eynon early In the
year and crashed out victory over the
two kids" but Banagan and others
deny this. .----.
So the scrap is on. It's all in fun, of
course, for the Cummings trophy means
nothing except golf contest. But it
is the medium for lot of good-natured
kidding.
A ND Just to enhven the party and
"A make matters more laughable for
all concerned, Laudick has played
the Columbia course in 73 and rs dur
ing the past two days. Always one of
the longest hitters around washington,
Jaudick specializes in knocking the ball
so far his second shot becomes only a
short pitch on most of the par holes.
He has big edge ever ordinary hitters
because he knocks the ball so far from
the tee. The boys all insist they will
keep after Stevinson and Woodward
until they get them into match.
THOSE new putting greens at
i Colurnbia-the new seventh and
thirteenth-are a great improve
ment over the old green's which were
laid down dack in 1919 in preparation
for the national open championship OF
1921. Those old greens held big pro-
portion of bumps and knobs, making
1t a considerable trick to get the ball
into the hole from bad angle over
those knobs. In those days, nearly is
years ago, there was a leaning toward
building greens with tricky rolls and
weird contours. But that has gone out.
The trend nowadays is for fiat, c-oSely
trapped greens. The new greens have
been built on that order, both with a
gentle slope toward the front. They
are so fiat that pin can be placed
anywhere on them, which was not the
case on the old greens. On the seventh,
in particular, there were only a few
spots where the pin could be placed
because of the knobs and slopes.
The back of both greens has been
slightly built up to better hold a pitched
ball. Remember the old thirteenth and
that dip in the middle? How many
times well hit shot hit right into that
slope and died, when normally it should
have rolled up by the hole. That can
not happen on the new green. for 1t is
all fiat. AS the matter now stands
Columbia does not plan next year to
rebuild any more putting greens. al
though the fifteenth and seventeenth
were slated for reconstruction. The
fifteenth now is the only green left on
the course which has distinct slope
with a break about halfway up the
green. Under present plans 1t will not
be changed next year.

NEW ERA DEVELOPING
LEADERS OF FUTURE
Favorites of years to come being
decided by values offered today

We're entering new era of FIVE
cent cigars. Naturally. out of the
welter Of nickel cigars being offered
today, one is going to take the lead
and be the biggest seller. That will
be the Girard cigar. There is no
doubt about it! For Girard is the
fastest-growing cigar in America!
Girard was a ten-cent cigar. As
such, it sold by the millions. In
| fact, the tremendous sales and lower
tobacco-costs enabled us to bring the
price down to a nickel. It's still a
cool, mild Girard-blended Of to-
baccos from three countries-and 1t
never gets on your nerves"
Make up your mind to follow the
new leader. Your first puff Of
Girard will tell you why it is be-
coming the leader. For you've never
had such cool, mellow, fragrant
smoke trickle across your tongue
for a nickel! Not only that-you'l
be better off financially and physic-
ally. More money-less nerves. Try
your FIRST Girard today. - Adver-
tisement.

Base Ball Doctors Prescribe
Today for Ailments of Minors

dicated the majority Of smaller circuits
will follow the move of the two leaders.
Recalling that last year several minor
clubs were compelled to fold up in mid
season because major league clubs with
drew their financial support, the COM
mittee has recommended that major
league clubs operating farms be required
to guarantee their operation for full
season. This is expected to meet little
opposition from either the majors or
the minors.
The American Association in another
meeting this morning planned to iron
out its difficulties by finding purchasers
for the Toledo and Kansas City clubs.
1t was reported late last night that
at least three men were in the market
for the Mudhens, while Lee Keyser,
owner of the Des Moines club in the
Western circuit, has announced he is
willing to buy the Kansas City fran
chise as soon as the present board Of
directors makes an offer to sell. This
offer was expected to be forthcoming

with formal denial Of the report by the

ton of SeWickley, Pa, and Bob Rey-
nolds of Okmulgee, Okla, freshman
backfeld stars, and said to express the
views of the entire freshman squad, ex-
planned the report originated when
several of the men jokingly remarked
they intended to journey East and con-
tinue to play foot ball under Warner.
I'VE came here to go to Stanford
and we intend to carry on with the
boys we know are with us" the state
ment said.
Previously Bob Grayson, a halfback,
was reported as saying he came from
Portland, Greg, to play under warner
and intended to go with him. Several
other players were reported TO be con-
sidering a transfer to the Phliadelphla
institution.
The Board of Athletic Control at a

candidates mentioned are c. E. Tiny

the late Knute Rockne and in vogue
at Notre Dame, according to an onclal
statement.

concluded for their services for one year,
which is the custom in dealing with
athletic coaches at the Academy. Flan-
agan again will be backf1eld coach ana
O'Brien the mentor of the line candi-
dates. No changes may be mace as
to the other assistants, players on
Naval Academy teams in recent years.
Miller, tackle at Notre Dame ana a
teammate of the famous -Four Horse
men, came to the Naval Academy with
Bill Ingram in 1926, acting as line coach
that and the following season. He TOOK
a recess for business reasons over the
seasons of 1928 and 1929, but returned
for the season Of 1880. When Ingram
left for California, Miller was appointed
head coach, serving as such In 1881
and 1882.
WHILE little success has been
w achieved at the Naval Academy
during the two seasons that foot
ball has been directed by Notre Dame
coaches and in the method of that in
stitution, failure Is generally believed to
be due to insufficient material and lack
of time to instill the Notre Dame sys-
tenn. Great Improvement along both OF
these lines is expected by next season.
The announcement Of Notre Danes
foot ball schedule for next season
brought to the attention Of Naval
people and others that the Military
Academy would play that team in New
York next season week later than 1t
met the Naval Academy. To some, 1t
appeared the Navy was being given a
somewhat subordinate place in the
Army schedule.
THIS view of the matter was not
J. taken, however, by Lieut.. Comdr.
John L. Hall, jr., graduate manager Of
athletics at the Naval Academy. Comdr.
Hall said that while he had no infor-
nation on the point from the Army
officials, he believed they found it i'm
practicable to arrange their schedule in
any other way. He pointed out that
the game between the Army and Notre
Dame probably had been arranged prior
to the agreement for the meeting of the
service teams.
Corndr. Hall denied the statement
from Notre Dame that the Naval
Academy team would play at South
Bend next season, stating that the play
ing field had not been selected.

Joe encountered a master of defense
against southpaw hitting. Only once

THAT punch, which Travelled no more

Knights left, but at the same time

crowned king of light heavyweights is
slow thinker. With Phelps almost at
his mercy he didn't know what to do
next.

wobbly on his feet, his brain apparently
in a fog, nevertheless kept both his
chin and solar plexus guarded with his
right fist and elbow and when Knight
tried again and again to reach him
