Tommy Loughran Rides Comeback Ring
Trail Third Time in Brilliant Career

Roadway in the heavyweight diVi-
sion today. 1t is that kind of a
heavyweight division. Where the
champions used to survive dozens
of fights, the champions today sell
dom survive one. That is the tip off.
Even so, Loughran has a lot of
credit coming to him. Apparently
nothing can discourage him. He
takes men who have knocked him
out and in return bouts demon
strates that it was all a mistake.
Witness the Sharkey and Hamas
incidents. No matter what the flu
ture brings, Loughran's career up to
now has been remarkable.

ing, then with Baer and finally with
Camera. How do you account for
the young mans uneven career and
the fact that he is back in the lime
light five years after he had been
written out of the picture?
A large part of the answer is
Loughran himself. He is still the
best boxer among the big fellows,
he is thoroughly game, he has more
than the average quota of self be-
lief. Taken as whole, this is not
a bad combination.
Also it does not take an excep-
tionally gifted performer to make

through Saturday.
Most important on the coaches
program is a discussion of rules
changes. The coaches have no
power to change the rules. but
their recommendations carry weight
with the national football rules
committee which meets early next
year.
List Rule Suggestions
Among the suggested changes in
the rules are the following:
/. Allow a forward pass from any
point behind the line Of scrimmage.
2. Abolish the dead BALI rule.
which prevents a ball carrier from
advancing the ball after one knee
has touched the ground.
3. Return the goal posts to the
goal line.
4. Permit a team inside its own
20-yard line on extremely windy
days to surrender the ball twenty
five yards down the field in lieu Of
a punt.
5. Increase the side line zone from
ten to fifteen yards.
6. Allow the defensive team to adj
vance a recovered tumble.
7. Rule a pass which lands in the
end zone incomplete on first, second
and third downs instead of a touch
back.
Big Ten Wants Open Game
The success the professionals have
had with the goal posts on the goal
line, and the forward pass rule
which permits a pass from any point
behind the line Of scrimmage has
caused many coaches to favor these
two changes. The Big Ten coaches
are on record as favOring the pass
from any place behind the line, be-
lievlng that it will open up the game.
Harry Kipke, coach of Michigan's
championship team, was scheduled
to speak today on behalf on rules
changes.
Despite the agitation for rules
changes, there are many veteran
coaches who believe that the rules
should remain as they are for
another year. Harvey Hartman.
PENNSYLVANIA coach, made a canvas
Of the coaches of the second dis
trlct comprising New York New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Vlr-
glnla, and found that the majority
favored the present rules. Har-
mans QUESTIONABLE revealed:
l. Do you favor retaining the
dead ball" rule? Yes. 40; no. 8.
2. Do you favor moving the goal

no, 40.
3. Do you favor the use of the
forward pass any place behind the
line OF scrimmage? Yes, %: no. IS.

NEW YORK, Dec ga faint
~ flow of life is beginning to
show in the heavyweight division.
Tommy Loughran is back in the
headlines. Max Schmeling is re-
turning from Germany. And there
is to be a heavyweight fight at the
Garden Friday between Walter
Neusel and Ray Impellittiere. (How
did he ever miss going to Notre
DameO
Loughran is either marvel or
mystery. Possibly he's both. He
appeared to be through five years
ago. He was having his troubles
with men like Lomski, Latzo, Sekyra
and Emanuel, second raters all
Lomski had him on the floor. So
did Emanuel, then just novice.
The diagnosticians of the ring de-
cided Loughran had lost his speed,
and since that was one of his great
est assets-the quality that made
him conspicuous as a boXer-the
chances of his ever coming back to
the top seemed most remote.
Sharkey was already pretty well
established by this time. Schme!lng
was beginning to come along. Baer's
name was breaking into print at
intervals. Likewise Cameras. OLD
Man Christner looked as if he might
get some place. Chicago was Mailing
King Levinsky. Risko was still
plodding along, and so was Strlbllng.
NNE of those interminable ellml-
~ nation tournaments so dear to
the heart of Mr.. Tex Richard, who
always tried to make two dollars
grow where only one had grown
before, was launched, and Loughran
was not permitted to compete. He
was too small and besides it was OBJ
vious he had run his race.
1t was obvious, that is, to all but
Loughran. He stayed in there
swinging, and presently he was in
the midst of a comeback that COM
PEELED the promoters to take him
seriously again. He gave the prom
ising Braddock as thorough a box
ing lesson as any man ever received
in or out of the ring.
Matched with Sharkey, Loughran
had many supporters. His return
to form, added weight and estab-
lished dependability seemed to give
him something more than an out
side chance. But Sharkey had one
of his good nights and Loughran
was knocked out Once more the
end of the road loomed, and it
seemed definitely to have been
reached when the Philadelphia
Irisher was stiffened in a subse-
quent test with Young Hamas.
Loughran had come up, gone
down, come up again and gone
down again. This couldn't go on
forever. Either the man was to find
himself or he wasn't. Meanwhile
the parade moved on, with first
Sharkey, then Schmeling, Stribling,
Camera and Baer setting the pace,
Loughran remaining in the back
ground, just another fighter.
THERE was ample precedent for
l. believing he would remain in
the background for all time, but
just when the morbid members of
the guild were compiling the obitu-
aries Loughran came galloping TO
the front again with a series of vic
tories that made old timers shake
their noggins in bewilderment. And
now what?
Only this: The promoters are
talking about matching him for the
championship. First with Sclmel-
