Bob Olin Lifts
ROSenblOOm'S
Glove Grown
United Press Score Sheet
Shows Defending Champ
Won Ten Rounds.
BY LAYTON CARVER
United Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Bob Olin
is the new electromagnetic cham
pion of the world today, but no one
who saw him lifted to the throne
fresh from a sound spanking be-
lieves it.
The 24-year-old former Wall
Street customers man got the deci-
sion over Make Rosenbloom last
night in Madison Square Garden
after fifteen hstless rounds.
Rosenbloom, who had held the
175-pOund crown for four years, was
dethroned before fewer than 5000
cash customers Fulfillment of his
dreams to become either a movie
actor or a cab driver can be realized
now.
Olin Bleeding ana Tired
There is some question as to
whether Rosenbloom, DIN, or the
crowd was the most amazed. Hav-
ing been whipped in ten out of the
fifteen rounds and held even in an
other on the United Press Score
sheet, DIN was bleeding and tired.
However, RoSenbloom fought a
clean fight as the New YORK COM
mission and the N. B. A. had warned
him to do, and in the flurries was
all over DIN. At no time was the
champion hit hard enough to know
that he was in a fight.
The crowd rocked the Garden
with booS for DIN and gave RoSen-
bloom, a much mahgned champion
during his tenure, a parting cheer.
Make Finishes Fast
Rosenbloom was credited with all
/ the rounds by the United Press, eX-
cept the second, fifth, ninth and
eleventh, in none of which he did
any damage but deserved an edge
/ on aggreSiveness. One was even. IN
! the last three rounds, RosenblOom
/ bounded around like a rubber ball,
carrying his 1872 pounds, oneTnalf
more than DIN weighed, with some
/ of his old time zest.
/ Judge Abe Goldberg and Harold
/ Barnes made the decision. Danny
Ridge was the referee.

Navy and Pitt
Play Top Grid
Game of East
Syracuse Colgate, Purdue
Fordham Tits Also
Attract Attention.
81 Z Hifcd Press

81 Juitcd Press
NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-View the
situation from any angle and permit
your prejudices to lean where they
will, but you must reach the con-
Clusion that there are two out
standing football games in the ma
ton today.
The rest fall in two groups, one
the Sectionally important games in
some of which unbeaten teams go
into action, and the other, all the
rest of the contests. most of them
meaning very little if anything.
The outstanding games:
Navy-Pitt at Annapolis
SyracuSe-Colgate at Syracuse.
If you want to make the total
three big games. you can include
Princeton and Yale. but the out
come of that one doesn't seem to be
in doubt.
Unbeaten Navy Is Underdog
The unwhipped Middies meet a
Pitt machine that has bowed only
to Minnesota. Navy is the under
dog by only slim margin in the
betting.
Unwhipped Syracuse will 60
against once-whipped Colgate rated
in the wagering to lose.
Either battle might end either
way.
While those games occupy the
east, other sectors will be viewing
such notable contributions to the
days program as Alabama Georgia
Tech at Atlanta, Illinois Wisconsin
at Madison and Minnesota Chicago
at Minneapolis
Alabama, Illinois and Minnesota
are unbeaten and united and figure
to emerge without damage to their
records.
Other games attracting more than
passing attention in the east are
Purdue Fordham in a cOrking inter-
sectional struggle; Army The Cita-
del. Columbian pennsylvania, Cor
nell-Dartmouth, Brown Holy SrOsS,
Harvard-New Hampshire and Du-
queSne-C Carnegie Tech.
Buckeyes Are Watched
In the midwest, another game
that will be closely watched is Ohio
State against Michigan, while Mich
igan State-Detroit, Notre Dame
Northwestern and Iowa State-Drake
also are billed
In addition to the Alabama Tech
battle in the Southeastern Confer
| LO
Sippi and Tulane-Kentucky battles
will be headliners. Florida Auburn
and Vanderbilt Tennessee also have
their followers. Washington and
Lee goes outside the Southern Con-
ference against William and Mary,
while Duke, like Washington and
Lee a leader in the circuit, plays
North Carolina. V. P. I. and Vir-
ginia meet in a third conference
match.
California Idaho, Oregon State
Montana and Southern California
Oregon are the leading games on
the Pacific coast, while Stanford,
one of the two leaders, plays the
Frisco Olympic Club. Washington
State remains idle.
Rice, leader in the southwest,
meets Texas A. and M Southern
Methodist tackles Arkansas and
Texas goes against Texas Christian
in southwest features.
Farther west, Utah State-Colo-
RADIO Mines, Colorado Aggies- Utah.
Colorado College-Co Colorado u. and

standing.

XXTASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Ru-
w mors current in Washing
ton society several weeks ago that
Anna Dali, daughter of President

announce her engagement, were
revived this afternoon.
The rumors have linked her
name with that of John Boetti-

Washington Bureau of The Chi
cago Tribune became effective
yesterday. Mr.. Boettiger left i'm
mediately for New York.
Mr.. Boettiger announced he had
taken a job with Will H. Hays,
head of the Motion Picture Pro-
ducers and Distributors. He re-
fused to comment and no con-
firmation or denial of the rumors
could be obtained at the White

DOCTORS BACK
INSANITY PLEA
IN $40 MURDER
Pastors Wife Unbalanced
at Time of Staying, Jury
Told by Experts.
By United Press

By CUtteu PTeSS
LEBANON, Ind, Dec. 1.-TWO
Lebanon physicians testified today
that Mrs. Neoma Saunders, Wabash,
was temporarily insane when her
husband, Gaylord v. Saunders
former Wabash minister, was slain.
The physicians, E. G. Higgins and
John D. CoonS, we're called as wit
nesses by the defense.
DR.. Coons replied that from evil
dence in the trial, he would con-
slider Mrs. Saunders temporarily I'M
balanced mentally at the time Of the
Staying.
Ben Scifres, Boone County prose-
cutor, attacked the testimony on
ground that Mrs. Saunders had
sense enough to direct her husbands
funeral and make arrangements to
have the death gun and other evil
dence destroyed.
Mr.. Scifres drew an admission
from DR.. Coon'S that such actions
we're the work of a sane person. The
physician insisted, however, that for
a few weeks preceding and up to
the Staying Mrs. Saunders appar-
emily was in her right mind.
Presenting DR.. Higgins as his last
major witness, Merle N. Walker,
defense attorney, asked many hypo-
thetical questions in an effort to up
hold his theory of temporary in
sanity.
DR.. Higgins is considered an
authority on mental and nervous
diseases.
eff a woman had been forced to
undergo sexual abnormalties with
her husband and had been threat
ened with death on several occa-
sions, would it tend to make her
temporarily insane" Mr.. Walker
asked.
Eyes, it probably would, the
physician replied
In other questions, Mr.. Walker
commended that Mrs. Saunders was
not in her right mind for period
of five months preceding the STAY
ing and directly following her hus-
bands death.

The underworld had scored
against Dampier, too.
He was shot in the chest three
times in another tavern brawl more
than two years ago, according to
detectives, who said no official rec
ord of the shooting ever had been
lodged with them. They believe
they know the identity of Dampier's
aSsailant, but Dampier never would
discuss the shooting.
In another unreported shooting,
Dampier was splattered with shot
gun slugs five years ago, the de-
tectiveS insist. Deputy sheriffS add
that they believe he was an occu-
pant of a car found some time ago,
riddled with bullets, just south ~
the city limits.
They also believe that it was
Dampier who shot Ray Walsh in a
beer tavern brawl three years ago.
Walsh was shot and killed a year
ago in a Ft. Wayne-av rooming
house, where a quantity of whisky
was found. Dampier was not in
volved in the murder, police believe.
More than a dozen persons wit
messed yesterday mornings shoot
ing.
Their stories agree, for the most
part, with Hyatt's version of the
affair.
This was that Dampier, an
nouncing his intention of cleaning
out the place" took of his coat and
walked behind the bar, looking for
trouble. Dampier started to seize a
whisky bottle, according to the ac-
cused man, who said he ordered him
to get out from behind the bar and
to keep quiet.
AS deputy sheriffs reconstruct the
Staying, Dampier then lunged at
Hyatt, who fired into the foot to
frighten Dampier.
This made Dampier abusive and
he again started after Hyatt, who
opened fire. Dampier ran from be-
hind the bar and fell on the floor
of the tavern. MORALLY wounded.

IN MS ABDOMEN.
Today, Lawrence Hyatt, alias Will
liam Hyatt, also 80, operator of the
tavern, was to face murder charges.
Hyatt has admitted the Staying,
according to Deputy Sheriffs Charles
McAllister and Howard SkaggS, who
answered the alarm turned in after
the shooting. While Dampier still
lived, Hiatt was charged with
vagrancy.
Both Hyatt, freed in $4,000 bond
on on the vagrancy charge, and
Dampier had extensive police rec
ords prior to yesterdays fatal
brawl.
Hyatt was first arrested Feb. II,
1921, and his record shows II ar
rests since then, most Of which re-
suited in his acquittal.
He served six months in the Iona
(NIich.) Reforn1atory for liquor
law violation and received 500 fine
and 30-day Jail sentence in Munic-
ipal Court here after he was con-
victed of operating a blind tiger.
Charges of vagrancy, vehicle theft
and robbery have been leveled
against him.
Dampier's first recorded brush
with the law came Jan. 81, 1928. His
record shows seven arrests since
then, but police say the record is
deceptive charging that victims OF
his alleged activities as hijacker
and slugger were not the type to
report those activities to official
quarters.
Charges against him have includ-
ed robbery, assault and battery,
vagrancy, resisting an officer and
malicious treSpasS with one or two
minor convictions and sentences. 1t
was for vagrancy and resisting an
officer that he was arrested the first
time last New Years Day; for ma
licious trespass, the second.

DAVENPORT, Ia, Dec. 17.-Police
of Illinois and Iowa searched high
ways and the garages of a score of
cities today for woman" automo-
bile thief identified by a Davenport
garage owner as Thomas H. Robin
son Jr., kidnaper of Mrs. Berry v.
Stoll of Louisville, KY.
The woman" rented an automo-
bile Saturday night from the Mo-
line cid branch of car rental
service owned by Fred H. Wiley of
Davenport. Mr.. Wiley previously
had refused her car at the Daven-
port garage, suspecting that she was
a man in disguise. When six hours
passed without return of the rented
car Mr.. Wiley notified police and
identified photograph of Robinson
as the woman"
That's Her Absolutely"
That's her absolutely" Mr.. Wiley
said. Il knew all along it was a man
and 1 know now it was Robinson. /"
Police of Davenport, Moline and
Rock Island asked aid of police
throughout Iowa and Illinois in a
search for the stolen motor car, a
light blue sedan with yellow wire
wheels.
The garage owner said he became
suspicious of credentials offered by
his caller because "she acted more
like a man than a woman"
"She talked almost in bass -
Mr.. Wiley said, land she had large
features and big hands that looked
like man."
Figured Something Wrong
She wore a brown wool dress, a
dark brown coat with fur collar and
a small, toque-effect black hat.
When she opened purse and
showed a large roll of $40 and $40
bills, Mr.. Wiley said, he figured
something was wrong" and refused
to rent car.
In Moline, however, the branch
agency attendant gave her car
without suspicion. On her rental
application she signed the name of
Mrs. F. Manley, Fulton, Ill.
Robinson has been sought since
he kidnapped Mrs. Stoll from her
home in suburban Louisville. She
was held in indianapolis until her
wealthy husband paid $4,000 an
som six days later.
