LOUCHRAN WANTS
 CHANGE TO FIGHT
 PRIMO CARNERA
Special To The Dcmocrat)

New York, Nov 27-Tommy Loughran challenges Primo Car
 The Philadelphia Forgotten Man" who came through with g marvellous performance turning back the giant Ray Impelletiere the other night. was a pleasant visitor in Jimmy Johnston's sanctum sanc- forum in Madison Square Garden yesterday.
 "Well, do get Carnera?" was Tommy's first blunt question.
 q should think so," Johnson made bold to reply.
 "When, where and how have you been," Tommy asked.
 Cant do think right now until after I see Billy Duffy" Johnston volunteered, adding: Funny have an appointment with him today"
 Johnston hinted that he is in fa- vor of the match. He will put it up to Duffy. The tentative battle- ground Is Miami, Fla, and the date some night in February next.
 Looks like things in the heavy weight division will be getting hot from now on. Many believe Duffy will sanction the match believing as he does that Loughran is made to order for the Italian Man Moun- tain.
 Loughran's speciality since he turned in his light heavyweight laurels because he could no longer make 175 pounds, has been mow- ing down giants and super dread naughts. His splendid victory over Jack Sharkey in Philly recently put him back in the running for the highest honors in flstiana.
 He had no hesitancy accepting Impelletiere while others ran away at the mere mention of the Italian Goliath.

 From Bill Spaulding-U. o. IL. A.
 Los Angeles: Eighty-five thou sand fans at Palo Alto saw Guar terback Frank Alustiza toss long pass to Al Norgaard to put Stan ford in the rose bowl after a tough uphill fight against California's Golden Bears. Washington made more first downs than Washington State, but Sarboe's kicking and passing was too much to overcome, and Washington State won out.
 From Noble Kizer-Purdue.
 Lafayette, Ind. Michigan's staunch defense, excellent bunting, and ability to take advantage of scoring opportunities brought tho Wolverines through undefeated to their fourth straight big ten title. Minnesota's young team failed to reach its peak soon enough, and lost a chance to tie for the title by it's four ties.
 From Harry Mellre-Georgia.
 Enroute California-Duke main- tained perfect record and clinched Southern Conference championship by beating North Carolina State. Also kept alive it's chances for rose bowl trip. Alabama can win Southeastern conference crown by downing Vanderbilt's sturdy eleven on Thanksgiving.
 From Jimmy CrOwley-FOrda ham.
 New York-Army and Princeton still stand out aA the class of the East. The cadets had an unexpect- edly hard fight before beating Navy. Princeton depended largely upon it's reserves in turning back Rutgers, and accordingly was scored upon for the first time this season. Harvard's surprise tri- umph over Yale was the big upset of the day.

Yale Concentrates
 on Pass Defense

New Haven, Nov N-Yale has five days in which to get ready for the Princeton invasion of the bowl, and it seemed likely today that most of the time would be spent in working out defense against forward passes.
 Harvard forwards upset the applecart at Cambridge Saturday, and Coach Root said last night he expected the team to be better against g. naerial attack when II meets Princeton. Passes, however have been great trouble to the Yale secondaries all season, ana whether they can reverse them- selces and come up with an ade- quate defense by Saturday seems doubtful.
