BITTER FIGHT
PRED|CTEDON
GRID CHANGES
BY JACK CUDDY

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Feb. "A three
cornered fight is expected next
week when the National Collegiate
Athletic associations football rules
committee meets to map new regu-
lations.
Field officials desire to speed up
the game with a fiye-down pro-
posal, the most radical change in
20 years; Walter Okeson's rules
committee wants the game slowed
by curbing the forward pass, and
the coaches demand that the
game be left unchanged.
Officials and coaches each have
their own rules committee. These
unofficial committees will send del
qgates with recommendations to
the N. c. A. A. official committee.
They are not members of the Off
cial committee, and attend only in
an advisory capacity.
the rules committee of the East
ern Association of Intercollegiate
Football Officials announced its
proposal to allow five downs instead
Of the usual four to the team which
is in possession of the ball when
inside its own or the opposition's
20-yard line.
This proposal came just as the
rules committee of the American
Football Coaches association OPEN
ed its session today at the New
York Athletic club. The coaches
were scheduled to consider methods
Of simplifying the game under ex-
isting regulations and to arrange
a defense against the N. G. A. A.
demand for a curb on forward pass
ing
The three groups look at the
game from different angles. Off
cials claim that footballs defense
overbalanceS the offense and slows
up the game. The five-down plan
tavoring the offense, would restore
the equilibrium, they believe.
But the N. c. A. A. committee in
its last report charged that indis-
criminate use of the forward pass
had enabled the offense to over
balance the defense, and it warn
ed that the use of the forward pass
must be curtailed.
Many Changes Made
Coaches agree with the officials
that the defense is stronger than
the offense. They hold football has
been the most changed of all
sports during the past so years and
they want the game finally stand
ardized under the existing code.
The five-down proposal is based
on the theory that the easiest part
of the field for ground-gaining is
midfield. The defense Stiffens when
the goal line is approached and
conversely when the ball-carrying
team is within its own 20-yard
line, ground gaining is difficult
because it usually kicks out on
second down and certainly on third
The four downs would prevail in
the other 60 yards of the field.
Today's session of the coaches
committee was expected to ignore
the officials proposal, according
to Chairman Lou Little of Colum-
bia. He. said the coaches believed
it would only complicate the game
for players and fans.

ter had gone far enough. He
stopped the fight.
Alfrde Austin's knockout of Su-
damo in the special event was one
of the cleanest seen in a local ring
for many moons. 1t was a great
fight, both boys mixing it all the
way, until Austin landed with a
clean uppercut to Sudamo's chin
Sudamo went backward, knees stiff.
His head struck the canvas with
a resounding blow, and he was out.
He remained more or less out even
when escorted from the ring.
Arregons knockout of Pimenthal
was almost as spectacular, coming
on the heels of a hot exchange of
blows which brought the customers
to their various and collective feet
Pimenthal was plenty tough, but
the blow which laid him low would
have dented an iron boiler.

ERNIE HOOD WITHERS UNDER
FIERCE BEATING BY TOMMY

AS a slack rope performer Ernie
Hood displayed blazing genius at
the Imperial Valley Athletic club
arena last night; as fighter he
showed only a great gameness in
the path of a remorSeleSS barrage
Of gloves thrown by Young Tommy,
who took a nod by what might be
called a technical knockout in the
second round.
The Hood-T Tommy flasco climax
ed a card which had the cash Gus
toners sitting in their neighbor's
laps, smoking their programs and
reading their cigars. Besides the
main event, they ended this way:
frankie Arregon knocked out Joe
Pimenthal with a let in the pit of
the stomach in the third round of
a scheduled siX-rounder.
Alfred Austin laid Marcos Su-
damo like a rug in the second
round of their scheduled four
round bout, with an uppercut to
the chin. The bell tried to save
Sudamo, but he could not answer
for the third round.
BY virtue of his long left jabs
and smart ring work, Reno Fer
nandez decisioned Manuel Delgado
in four rounds. Delgado was just
too tough to take a knockout punch,
while Fernandez seemed to lack
steam in his right, which was not
called into play often
1t was the hottest session of the
evening when Adam RuggleS and
Pilino Kilat sizzled through four
scorching rounds, Ruggles taking
every round in decisive manner but
failing to make any decided i'm
preston on the iron jaw of his ad
versary. The winner packed wal
lop that was not to be disregarded,
however.
In the main event Hood was
willing, but years of ring work
failed to show him the way to
stand up against the more rugged
and younger Filipino. whose ag-
gressiveness and hard hitting
would have placed Hood on the
canvas in another round, had the
latter's leg not gone wrong sud-
denly.
Opening Is Fast
Tommy opened fast, scoring too
many times to mention with fast
-lefts, followed in almost every case
by sizzling right crosses. These
were alternated by occasional
rights to the body. Tommy gave
the impression of little brown
windmill on legs, whose advance
would have stopped any number
of Don QuiXotes.
How Hood went through that
first round remains mystery, but
go through it he did. He came out
in the second still weak, and his
weakness was increased by Tom
mys unrelenting attack. Against
the ropes on the south side of the
ring Tommy turned loose a blast
of blows which sent Hood through
the ropes.
The losing battler skidded out
over the second rope. AS he did
SO Tommy grabbed a leg, and hung
on for dear life. There the mat
ter rested for while. Then Tom
my turned loose, and Hood skim
ned the cat a couple of times to

QUICK FINISH
FOR BIC BOUT
BY STUART CAMERON
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Feb. 4. U.R)-Light-
weight Champion Tony Canzoneri
impressively launched his cam
paign for a fourth world title last
night by knocking out Billy Town
send, the blond Vancouver Tiger,
cold as a chloroformed house cat
in ] minute and 5 seconds.
Eleven thousand fans shook Mad
ison Square Gardens steel girders
with uproarious booing when the
coast welter, who outweighed Tony
more than eight rounds, was bat
tered to the canvas in the opening
session of their non-title scheduled
10-rounder.
Although Canzoneri was to
ringside favorite, the quick finish
was disappointing. Townsend, re-
putedly a bone-crushing puncher,
was supposed to furnish the acid
test for Canzoneri's drive toward
Jackie Fields welter crown. The
fans anticipated something savage,
But all they saw was furry of
paralyzing punches. The fighters
spared for a few seconds. Tony
missed with a whistling left hook.
They clinched and were separated.
Tony stepped in with lightning
right Jolt to the mouth that
brought blood. Townsend crouched
to cover. Tony rushed him with
right and left hooks to the head A
smashing right to the temple and
Billy was on the floor.
He rolled over as Canzoneri
danced lightly to a neutral corner
and Referee Patsy Haley droned
the count.
Tony's victory clinched a match
with Jimmy McLarnin, his lone re-
manning obstacle to a title bout
with Jackie Fields.
Townsend never had chance to
get started,
"That sock in the mouth did it,
he said in his dressing room. Don't
ask me what happened. I didn't
see it coming, and 1 don't know
what happened after that.
Canzoneri, former featherweight
and Junior welterweight champion,
said he had planned to get Billy in
the first round. He figured the
wallops Townsend had taken on
the jaw in his five years of wide
open fighting must have softened
him up.
Canzoneri weighed 1929 pounds;
Townsend 141.
