BODY ATTACK IS
 EACLE'SPLAN TO
 BEAT JOE STEELE

His mind set on averaging the defeat suffered three weeks ago, the setback that deprived him of the state middleweight title, Char Ne Eagle is extending himself in his daily workouts, preparing for his return bout with Joe Steele, undefeated king of the division, and another crack at the crown. The bout will be the feature of. a simon pure program to be present. ed at the Phoenix Arena on Thurs day evening.
 In the their last meeting in which the title was also at stake, Steele and Eagle staged one of the hottest simon-pure matches ever put on under the lights at the Arena. Throughout the three rounds they just stood toe to toe slamming away at one another with reckless abandon, each dis pensing and taking plenty of pun ishment. But despite the rough going, neither would concede an dnch to the other.
 Eagle, Crosby High school bril- liant, however, wasn't given the nod at the end of the warfare, the palm being awarded to his rival Steele. The decision did not meet with the approval of all of the fans present, however. And neither did Eagle take liking to 1t. With number of his followers, he was of the opinion that he had shown his superiority.
 Last Chance.
 But the referee saw 1t in a diff ferent light and Steele continues to wear the crown. Eagle, a deter mined youngster if there ever was one, is all set to knock 1t loose from him Thursday evening and has secured four sparring partners with whom he is working out daily He contends that when Thursday nights rolls around and he starts to throw punches, Steele won't have time to figure out what 1t is all about.
 Tn his daily workouts, Eagle is centering his efforts on the mid sections of his sparring mates. And that is just where She will do most of his punching when he steps into the ring with Steele. He contends that is just where Steele is weak, and he should be able to do away with him in an easy man. ner by centering his attack there. Tn his last bout it will be re- membered that Eagle had Steele on the floor for a short count in the very first round. He sserts now that on Thursday night when he goes down 1t will be for keeps and that a new king will rule the roost.

Today;s Sport Parade

old Kentuckian was only kidding. Steele let him have the left elbow in the same place, and followed with the right.
 But Strangler wasn't kidding. Knowing that wrestling referees intervene only in cases of rigorf mortis, he cast 8 glance of appeal to that section of the house where his stable-mates were sitting while awaiting their turn in the ring. Ills eyes seemed to say:
 "One of you muggs come up here quick and stop this mugg.
 Az a man, his comrades rose to their feet, those who had bathrobes shedding them. The first to reach the ring was one John Evko, who not having had bout since the night before, was eager for a workout. The minute Evko stepped in the ring and headed for Steele. Referee Eddie Forbes, who has 9 family, called the bout off and awarded Strangler the decision on a foul.
 We are not perfectly clear as to what happened from this point on' being as the view from under the ring is rather limited. But a friend of ours who watched the proceed ings from behind the protecting bulk of a Tammany politician, says 1t was 8 sight to behold.
 While Evko, Lewis, Steele ana Referee Forbes were sparring Tn the ring, Jim Marvin, a wrestler, who up until this time hadn't said a word, walked down the aisle ana uncorked a beautiful overland right in the direction of Promoter Jacoues Curley. When Curley squared off against Marvin, it was the signal for all the men in the audience to slip off their coats and start swinging on their neighbor.
 The Garden policemen most or whom get their passes from Curley, made short work of Marvin. The druggist who got Magyin's trade later in the evening Is out or the red for the year, If there IS any profit in aspirin, adhesive tape, io- dine, arnica and cracked ice. This was the only fist fight the police men took part in. They just allow ed the others to go the limit.
 Those of the 10000 spectators who did not feel like fighting, re- treated to the balcony and hurled everything they could think Of in- cluding invectives, upon the heads of the combatants.
 When we left, which was just a few minutes ago, workmen' many of them with bumps on their neads' were clearing the scene or pattle.

ALUMNI BACKSUP
 ERNIE MEYERS TO
 SUCCEED WARNER

Palo Alto, Cal, Dec 6--U. P.)- Claude E. "Tiny" Thornhill, for Il years line coach at Stanford Uni- yersity, was prominently mention ed to-day as successor to Glenn Scobey (.'Pop'') Warner as head coach of the Cardinal football team. A coach to carry on the Warner System will be considered at a meeting of the athletic board to-
 Many alumni were urging the appointment of Ernie Meyers, Stan- ford's All-American fullback of 1925, described by Warner as "the greatest football player \ ever coached" Meyers has been Wer- ner's assistant since his graduation.
 others who probably will be con. sidered include Maurice Clipper Smith. former Notre Dame star and coach of Santa Clara College; DICK Hanley of Northwestern University, and Andy Kerr of Colgate.
 Too Late
 The football squad, many of them with tears in their eyes, visited Warner late yesterday and begged him to "tear up" the five-year con- tract he has signed to coach at Temple University in Philadelphia.
 we didn't do very well for you this season, Pop, but come back next year and we'll show you, pleaded Bill Bates. the 170-pound center.
 Warner, whose Cardinal team lost four games this season to give his nine year regime a record of 72 victories, l3 defeats and II ties, turned away, unable to reply.
 The season just ended was the most disastrous since he began coaching in 1894.
 "Temple Is a growing university with an .enrollment almost three times that of Stanford" he said. T have accepted a position which l feel is step forward for me-"

LEWIS, 'MCLARY,
 SZABO, ZARYNOFE'
 AT ARENA TONITE

New Haven, Dec 6-The age old, primitive lust for revenge will be a dominating factor when Pat McClary, 250-pound Irish giant, clashes with Ed (Strangler) Lewis, in @ worlds heavyweight mat championship match on Pro- motor Jim Downing's three-star pachyderm program at the Arena tonight.
 The semi-final finish fray will put on display Century Milstead, former Yale football star, and Nick Luptze, Bowser brilliant from Cal- ifornia. Slated for struggle in the special 30-minute match are .San- dor Szabo, Hungarian Adoniss and Count George Zarynoff, Russian ace. Two other good time limit matches will round out the card.
 Return Match
 Regarding the star finish match, McClary has been eager for a re- turn revenge battle with Lewis since the night several weeks ago that the Kentucky cave man dropped Pat on the back of his neck with forearm blow that sent the big Irishman to St Raphael's hospital for one week. Pat swears by the Blarney Stone that he will trounce the'champion soundly and for his part, Lewis was not over-anxious for the bout.

The Amateur Athletic Union, which never sleeps, spotetd the ad- vertisement in Sundays Metropoli- tan newspapers. Last night, through it's secretary. Daniel J. Ferris, the. union dispatched a telegram to Louis Di Benedettos chairman of the Southern AsBocia- ton, informing him that Miss Dir- rfl<son had forfeited her amateur standing
 Mis9 Didrikson, at her home in Dallas, learned of the A. A. Us action almost as soon as Dt Bene- detto. She wasted on time in in- forming her manager, Col M. ]. McCombs, who wasted even less time in issuing the following state- ment:
 s.If Miss Dirdikson loses her am. ateur standing because of the ad- vertisement, which she did not authorize, we will immediately inc stigate suit against the automobile company responsible for the un- authorized publication"
 The advertisement was prepared for the Dodge Co, by the advertise ing firm of Ruthrauff & Ryan, Inc, New York, and according to an of- ficial of the firm,. was published with the full consent of Miss Did- rikson and her manager.
 We have written letter of re- lease from Miss Didrkson and her manager" the agency told the United Press. "The release gave us full permission to use Miss Did. rikson's picture as well as her com- ment on the car. It is unreason- able to assume that we Wuold pre- pare such copy without first gain. ing full perMission. Naturally, we are sorry to hear of the A. A. U's action. X Inasmuch as Miss Did- rikson did not receive so much as e penny for her testimonial, she must have been ignorant of the A. A. U. ruling on such things. Certain. ly, our first was. Had we known the advertisement would endanger Miss Didrikson's amateur standing we would have explained that point
 Down in Dallas, Col McCombs. in discussing his charges case, made no mention of any letter of release. He said Babe owns an earlier mod- ell of the same make of antom0biles but that she had not even seen the 1888 model.
 All the Same
 Whether Miss Didrckson was paid for lending her name to the advertisement does not affect her violation of the amateur rules, ac- cording to Ferris.
 s.The A. A. U.' rule is explicit on the violation. It reads as follows:, "'By granting or Nsanctioning the use of ones name to advertise. recommend, or promote the sale or the goods or apparatus of any perA son. firm, manufacturer or agent an athlete shall cease to be eligible to compete as an, amateur" Ferris said that if Miss Didrtkson did not sanction the use of her name she can prove it by bringing suit against the company. If she won her suit the A. A. U. immedi< ately would reinstate her.

 New York, Dec 6---(U. P.) - It was back in the days when auto- mobiles had acetylene lamps that wrestlers began their campaign to the weak point. if any, in our old friend Ed (Strangler) Lewis. For years, the boys operatr ed on MT Lewis, dislocating joints. ironing his ears, snatching out his hair, kicking him in the pantry, and biting him in choice spots.
 Not once doing these goings-over did Strangler protest. So 1t came as great surprise last night when, standing under the glare of the arc. lights at Madison Square Garden, Strangler objected to Raw Steele knocking his teeth out. No one was any more surprised than Steele when Strangler, after catching one of Rays elbows squarely on what Park Avenue terms "the mush", turned and said:
 Here! here! Ray, be careful"

Well, boys, we start our third week of bowling tonight and by this time the teams are getting into their real stride and q close race from now on Is looked for. each team, thus making fivc- league to eight cOntenders. Last week there were several sub- stitutes ready to go into action if needed and 1t is expected that by next week the full eight teams will be completed.
 Jack Graham has taken down the picture Home, Sweet Home," that adorned the wall in his parlor and replaced 1t with large pho- tospatic copy of his last weeks bowling score. He bowled 332, which is the best. score he has made since the time when he could part his hair in the middle.
 The league welcomes back Al Valonis with open arms. Al's presence on any team peps up the boys and his known "pccp-peep" is again heard cyerx Tuesday night. He seems to have taken a secret course in bowl- ing while away for year be- cause he is knocking them down and no fooling this year.
 No Eagles league would be com plete without Pat Sullivan, the "Silver-Haired Daddy of Them All" Pat seems to improve with the years and his scores are proof that he is bad man to have a. gainst you in the pinches.
 Eddie Davis, who usually hit the pins for about 27O, is doing much better this year. I guess Eddie must walk through those "Green Pastures" on his way to the alleys every Tuesday night. There's plenty of pastures down in H0peville where Eddie comes from.
