MILLER KEEPS
BOXING Crown

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Jan. 2.
Twice flooring his opponent for
counts Of seven, Freddie Miller,
of Cincinnati, recognized by the
National Boxing Association as
the featherweight champion, to-
day had successfully defended his
crown against Jack Sharkey, Min.
neapolis contender.
The match, which was Miller'S
fifth successful defense of his
title, went the full 10 rounds,
but once in the second and again
in the tenth it fingered on the
verge of a sudden ending. Each
time, however, Sharkey gamely
struggled to his feet and went
on with the fight.
VariaS Milling, of the Philip
pines, outpointed Paul Dazzo, of
Chicago, in the 1O-round semi

PLANS
To Be AIRED
At PARLEY
BY DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, Jan. 2 Q.N.S).
Within a matter of weeks, Off
cials of Madison Square Garden
and Jack Dempsey will sit down
at the same table to discuss de-
tails of a half-million-dollar Max
Baer-Primo Carnera fight for the
heavyweight championship in
June or July, the writer was in
formed today by Ancil Hoffman,
manager of Baer.
The conference, he said, had
been solicited by John Fitzpatrick,
president of the garden, who first
tried to interest Hoffman person.
ally, and then turned his atten-
tion to Dempsey after he learned
the manager could not be per
suaded to abandon his liaison with
the former champion. Hoffman
added:
"They asked me to bring
Dempsey to see them. I take it
they mean to declare Jack in as
cO-partner, and / don't see why
not? His name will add $780,
OOC to any gate"
Dempsey is scheduled to leave
tomorrow for the East.
At the moment, the Garden con-
trolls Camera up to and including
September 80, next. Dempsey,
meantime, seems to have an even
stronger hold upon Baer, and I
trust I'm not being ingenious in
mentioning the matter of honor.
Anyhow, Mr.. Hoffman did. He
said:
eve have no contract with
him, but we owe him plenty, and
this is our way of paying Off"
He added something doubtful
about feeling sure that "Jack
wouldn't stand in their way" but
indicated that, as far as he was
concerned, he didn't stand to let
developments arrive on that basis.
OF course, everything in connec-
ton with a Baer-Carnera fight is
predicated on an if-When-and-pro-
vided understanding that Carnera
does not blow the title to Tommy
Loughran down in Miami on Feb
ruary %. OF course, too, they all
can wait until September 80, when
the Garden contract runs out, at
which time, according to Hoffman,
the Camera people have offered
to run out, too.
But that's just one of life's little
delusions. AS far as crowd posi-
bilities are concerned, any fight
scheduled in this comical climate
after September 80 might as well
be held on a street corner.

Pops Getting Old

They also said something
about rounding up the four
Marx Brothers to officiate, so
as to make the comedy COM

Pop Warner, who, as I recall,
rated Columbia ninth among
Eastern teams when it was an
nounced that the young men of
Morningside had been invited
West.
If Columbia is ninth in the
standing, you'd have to admit
the East was we'll fixed in foot
ball way, wouldn't you? But,
then, nobody should take great
umbrage at Pop. He's growing
older now, which probably is
not the happiest time of life, at
best. And when you have al
ways been'a winner, it's hard in
the twilight years to learn to
lose. Moreover, nobody who
has made the great contribu-

has, should be kidded by any.

LITTLE 5 LOCAL
FRIENDS HAPPY
OVER WIN

Literally thousands Of Lou Lit
ties Washington friends today are
hailing the Columbia grid coach
as the outstanding grid mentor of
America following yesterdays SEN
sational triumph by the Lions
over Stanford's heavier Indians.
Washington had what might be
called a triple interest in this
years Rose Bowl game. First,
this city, naturally, was pulling
for the East to win. Second, two
local boys, Larry Pinckney and
Harry Chase, are members Of the
victorious Columbia squad. Third,
Lou Little, formerly coach Of
Georgetown, probably is the most
popular man ever to teach the
gridiron game at the Hoya school.
When yesterdays game started,
Lou Little's washington friends
were among those who insisted
that if any coach could bring
team to top form for an important
contest, that coach was Lou Little.
Friends Here Loyal
When most of the country
doubted, washington was stead
fast in it's tribute of loyalty to the
former Georgetown grid chieftian.
Probably bit sentimentally, but
tenaciously just the same, local
friends of Louis argued that he
would bring Columbia through to
a victory.
A rare confidence marked the
attitude of every former Little
pupil and several were outspoken
in their utter confidence that
Little would "outsmart" the op-
position with a hidden ball play
at some time during the contest.
A number of Little'S friends
wagered that Columbia would win,
while others, who stick by Little
through thick and thin, placed
sentimental wagers that Columbia
would score a touchdown. Local
odds ran from II to S, to 4 to l
that Stanford would win, while
the bookies laid to S that STAN
ford would win by II points.
Pinckney was a fullback while
attending Gonzaga and Central,
but Little turned him into a run
ming guard. He played the full
game against Stanford and played
a stellar brand C football through
ct.
Relieved Natal
Chase played at washington
and Lee High, BallSton, Va. He
is an end and relieved Tony Natal
on the one of the wings for Co.
lumbia and played bang-up
game while he wa on the field.
Pinckney and Chase, like all
other of Lou Little's pupils, swear
by the Columbia gridiron chief
tain. They. too, think that Little
is Americas greatest coach. an
opinion vociferously shared by
Georgetown men who played at
the Hilltop prior to and during
Little's regime at Georgetown.
Hundreds of congratulatory tel
egramS went forward from Wash
ington early last night to Little.
Pinckney and Chase, after it gen.
orally became known that Colum-
bia had accomplished the impos-
Sible" and had won the Rose Bowl
game. Today hundreds of letters
are being written to Lou by Little's
local friends congratulating him
on Columbia's remarkable show.
ing and thanking him for bringing
back to the East prestige lost in
recent intersectional contests with
the Pacific Coast.
Assisting Little at Columbia are
Herb Kopf, his aide at George
town, and three who played
under Little at Georgetown, Sam
Cordovano, George McCabe and
Paul Liston. .sn--nA1A
