ON THE SIDE LINES
With the Sports Editor
By DENMAN THOMPSON

swatting ability in both hands
was demonstrated to the sat
isfaction of a close to capacity
throng at Portner's arena last
night.
Antol Koscis. billed as hold
er of both the fly and bantam
weight championships of Hun
gary, proved that foreign titles
are not always meaningless by
giving Billy LanderS SO pointed
a lesson in the art of fisticuffing
that the verdict unanimously
was awarded him by the judges
and referee.
To the credit of Landers it
must be said he never stopped
trying, even though he missed
like a motor with Sooty plugs
on a frosty morning through
out the eight heats. The crowd
was strong for the blond Nor
folk tar, but had to agree the
verdict was we'll earned by the
elusive black-haired bobber,
who landed three blows for
every one Billy connected with.
It was different in the semi
Wind-up, where Louis JallOS,
a heads-up performer from
Cleveland, piled up a clean-cut
lead on points over Bobby
Burns, a roughhouSe type of
SWatter, although Referee
Heinie Miller decided other
wise.
Jallos, who fights under the
banner of Jimmie Bronson, as
does KocSis, didn't turn in as
impressive a margin as his
stablemate, but made good use
of a left jab that kept Burns
nose CORY and despite a mouse
inflicted on his left eye, got
over more and cleaner blows
than his wild-swinging foe.
Miller was just as wrong in
his verdict after that fight as
he was in his judgment before
the Dempsey-Sharkey affair
at the Polo Grounds. Heinie
just made a mistake, but then,
don't we all?

4 MATURITY OF observers
~ seem to be agreed that
n the latest batch of
changes in the foot ball
rules will serve principally to
pile more work on the haraSSed
officials, and if they are right
this will prove unfortunate, for
the men running the game al
ready had more duties than
they properly can attend to.
In a number of instances
rules which have been on the
books for years either have
been largely ignored or en-
forced in only a half-hearted
manner, such as those barring
hurdling and piling-on, and to
make it mandatory that halr-
line decisions be made anent
whether the tackler "leaveS his
feet only at the instant he
difhcult task on officials who
frequently won't be in a posi-
ton to Judge as accurately as
the spectators.
If the reviSions in the code
make for greater safety for the
players, a contention vigorously
disputed by some in regard to
the kickoff, where the receiver
is likely to be confronted with a
small army of tacklerS, the
main object of the tinkererS
will have been completed.
ContrariWiSe, if the new pro-
visions serve to rob the game
of much of its snap and dash,
as many stoutly maintain,
without appreciably leSsening
the hazards of a sport whose
popularity is due in large meas
ure to bodily contact aspects
and attendant dangers, the
committee will have labored in
vain.
Many alterations have been
effected since the game was
opened up through legalization
of the forward pass more than
a quarter of a century ago, all
designed to afford greater pro-
lection to the participants and
increase it's attractiveneSS to
those in the stands. With few
exceptions these have accom-
plished their purpose so well
that foot ball has prospered
enormously in the process of
achieving top ranking among
Spectacles in sportdom.
Whether the game will be
hindered or helped by these
most recent amendments to the
playing procedure cannot be
definitely determined until they
have been tested over the
course of a season.
If it is established mistakes
have been made they can be
corrected another year by the
same committee, which is due
commentator for its efforts to
apply remedial measures to the
toll taken on the gridirons of
the country last Fall.
IUST how bad a good, game
ringman with a punch,
- but shy on boxing flnesse,
can be made to look by an
opponent who combines a high
order ot boxing technique with

)xe Meets Ne,v Ball Rules Held Tough Referee

the new dead ball" rule, the rule that
provides that play ceases when any
portion Of the ball carrier excepting
hands or feet touches the ground,
whether or not the ball carrier be In
the grasp Of an opponent. Just another
rule to get the fans in the stands as
well as the penalized team on the neck
of an official is Magofin's idea Of this
modification.
THE new rule further restricting the
i use of hands by the defense
Magoffin believes the officials can
blame themselves for. For years the
foot ball code has been severe in its
rulings on careless use of hands by de-
fensive linemen, but it seems many off,
cialS have been lax in enforcing the
law. Magoff1n declares he is in favor
Of emphasizing any rule that will help
eliminate dirty play, but like other high
class officials he does not favor en-
phasizing such rule to the extent that
the legitimate and scientific or well
coached use of hands by defense players
would be harshly penali7ed as appar-
emily they should be under the recent
modification.
Clever and legitimate use of the
hands by linemen of the defense is,
according to Magofin, the most beau
tiful part of foot ball play. To so
hinder the employment of this de-
partment of defense by such a rule as
recently adopted seems to him a step
backward 1t is bound to detract
greatly from foot ball, the official con-
tends.
4 to the new rule concerning the
IA change in equipment of players
Magofin does not consider it any,
thing for the officials to null over
other than to see the players are not
improperly accoutered when they enter
game, However, Magoffln hopes that
in softening pads and protectors there
will be no return to the bulky pad
ding of two decades ago.
Magofin believes a season or two
of trail will result in a modification
of some of the new rules. However,
he insists that excellent teams will be
developed this year, as heretofore, de-
spite the seeming handicaps of the
modified code. After all, says Ma
coffin, fine team is due to manpower,
strategy, science and good coaching
There will still be the manpower and
enough good coaching to develop all
the strategy and science necessary to
satisfy the most critical foot ball
follower.

COUNTY TAX BOARD SPLITS
ON BUDGET SLASH PROPOSAL

When four members refused to
commit themselves to a resolution
opposing tax levies as fixed by coun-
ty. school, and city officials, the
county tax adjustment board dis
agreed at its first meeting Monday.
Councilmen Walter Boetcher, Ed
ward H. Resener and John New
house and Charles A. GroSsart,
county auditor, combined their votes
at the initial meeting and deferred
action on the resolution proposed
by Leo K. Fesler.
They objected to going on record
for reduction in all budgets. they
said, because they had not had time
to study the budgets.
AT the session, called primarily
for organization, the board elected
Boetcher as chairman and Fesler
as vice chairman. GroSsart was
chosen secretary.
Albert E. Uhl, realtor, and Nicho-
las H. Moves, Eli Lilly Company
treasurer. joined Fesler in demand
ing the board take a definite stand
on the tax question.
The board will meet again next
Tuesday. Action on the resolution
was deferred until then, and off,
Gals were ordered to submit their
itemised budgets by that date.

FOR LIBERALS
Seeks to Win New Mexico
Progressive Votes.
By United Press

By United Press
ABOARD ROOSEVELT SPECIAL,
EN- ROUTE TO LAMY, N. M,
Sept. Ex-Governor Franklin D.
Roosevelt today sought to switch
to his support the progressive Re
publican vote led by United States
Senator Bronson Cutting of New
Mexico.
Cutting recently was represented
as breaking away from the old
guard Republican organization of
his state, and refusing to support
it in the coming presidential cleo
ton.
Roosevelt advisors believed the
Governors position on the tariff,
agriculture and water power would
help him with the dissatisfied New
Mexican Republicans.
With their support. the Cover
nors friends argued, the state.
which went for President Hoover
in 1928, could be counted upon to
fall back into the Democratic
column.
The nominee, after brief stop
at Albuquerque, was to proceed to
Lamy where he was scheduled to
confer briefly with party leaders
and advise them as to details of
the national Democratic campaign.
A concerted drive for progress
sive support, which was opened in
California when Roosevelt bid pub
icly for the support of the Hiram
Johnson wing of the Republican
party, has been carried forward
since leaving that state.

The councilmen and GrosSart had
part in fixing the 1888 county levy
at ALPS cents, 1872 cents higher
than the current rate.
The board heard petitions from
two groups of taxpayers urging it to
keep the tax rate within the $3.50
limit fixed by law.
Gavin L. Payne of the HooSiers
Taxpayers Union, advised cut in
the school term and further reduc-
ton in pay of teachers, policemen
and firemen.
He also proposed refunding of
$4,000, 900 in bonds as way to re-
duce budgets of the civil city, school
city and county.
Martin NJ. Hugg, attorney, spoke
for the Northside Tax League.
Would we be justified in cutting
the school term four months if that
were necessary to keep within the
limit?" Fesler asked Hugg.
You would" he replied, and you
have that power"
Although refusing to take a def
mite stand, councilmen declared they
were for the $3.50 tax law and would
cut taxes as near to it as possible. I"
Boetcher explained he did not
want to vote ION so drastic a reso-
luton as Fesler presented, with
out time to consider til.

Heavy Toll Is Feared
BIZ United Press

~ CHtfed RrCss
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico Sept. 81.
"A devastating, twisting tropical
hurricane roared up from the Lesser
Antilles before dawn today, and
battered the island city of San Juan
with a wind that exceeded 100 miles
an hour.
The storm approached the city
shortly before midnight with high
winds prevailing, and for about four
hours the streets were raked by ter
rlflc wind gusts which did great
damage. 1t is feared they also took
heavy toll of casualties.
The city of more than 10000
population was thrown into turmoil
when the Furnishing wind steadily
increased its intensity during the
night. The darkness, falling debris
and memories of the 1923 storm
which ravaged the city with a loss
OF I'll lives, added to the terror of
the inhabitants.
The storm, moving in an esti-
mated rate of between ten and If
Teen miles an hour, had approached
from the Leeward islands and, after
damaging parts of the interior Of
Puerto Rico, moved on toward
Santo Domingo and northern Haiti,
A haSty survey of the scene in
dicated property damage might be
as great as in the hurricane of four
years ago this September, when
tens of thousands we're left desti-
tute.
1t was impossible, however, to
make accurate estimates of the ex-
tent of the disaster Immediately
after the storm had passed.
