Word From The West

Please don't misunderstood
me. 1 yield to none-not even
the gentleman from Montana
in my admiration and respect
for West Point. To prove it I'll
be at their rally this evening on
the eve of the departure of their
team for Philadelphia, and also
make a speech, the Lord help
the poor, long-suffering cadets.
There are few more thrilling
places in this country than that
ancient military citadel over
looking the Hudson and also,
by implication. few more thrill
ing football teams. Because,
though some beat 'em, nobody
ever outfights an Army team.
May Hold Destinies
Probably none of the 10000
struggling out of the Yankee
Stadium late Saturday after
noon stopped to think that the
boys on the beaten side might
possibly one day hold the des-
TIMES of this nation in their
hands. Maybe they will, or
maybe they won't.
But if any of those who had
Just watched them lose had
stopped to think about that, I
believe they would have said to
themselves:
"WelI, that will be all right.
It's true that they lost. But
they are game enough to go for
my side if trouble comes"
Which, I trust, my dear Miss
Jones, explains everything to
your satisfaction, and also yours,
Mr.. Smith. Not to mention the
two old gentlemen playing crib
bage.
This column probably has
"over-C -Columblaed" you during
the fading football season. For
which, it's apologies.
There also happens to be, at
the moment, the rather inter
esting news item that II Ala"
bama is beaten by Vanderbilt
(not a probability but a posi-
hility) Columbia is likely to get
the first bid to the Rose Bowl.
Two Reasons
There are two excellent rea-
sons for this, however, much
it might be ridiculed by some.
It was ridiculed last year, too,
wasn't it?
The first reason is that STAN
ford wants more than anything
else in football way to beat
the Lions and thus get even for
last year. And Stanford, as
you know is the Western repre-
sentative for the Rose Bowl.
The other, and probably
more important reason, is that
the football game pays the way
for the Tournament of Roses.
and that the general opinion IN
California football circles is
that Columbia would outdraw
any other team that might be
invited save Minnesota-and
Minnesota can't go.
And so 1 will tell you that
Alabama likely will get the
Rose Bowl BID unless it should
lose tomorrow But if it should
by chance, lose, don't be sur
prised if Columbia gets the in
vitation. The statistics of its
game with Syracuse say it is a
better team than Colgate, and
like the Raiders, it has been
beaten only once.

DENNY HUGHES
TURNS IN FINE
RING JOB
By FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL
Times Staff Writer

AuheS StaII WrlIer
Regardless of whether Frankie
kid" Covelli beat Pete De Grasse,
the Mohawk Indian featherweight,
the outstanding feature to this
observer at the Riding and Hunts
Club was the excellent work of
Denny Hughes, who refereed the
main go.
Hughes voted for Covelli, and
this writer finds no fault with his
verdict.
Many competent judges of box
ing agreed with Hughes. In fact,
at least one man who had bet on
the Indian, paid off without walt
ing for the verdict. He was over.
joyed, not tt say overcome when
Santa Claus returned his money.
1t was hard. tough fight all
the way through, and what prob
ably influenced the judges in their
decisions was that De GraSSe
forced the action, initiated the
slugging bees and kept the action
going.
His relentless aggressiveness and
fighting heart in the rallies per.
haps blotted out the account Of
the superior left hand Of Covelli.
The latter, hitting sharply with
his right hand in the early rounds
started swinging it round house
style as the battle wore along.
Hughes established the fact
that this district has referees COM
petent to handle any scrap
brought into these precincts by
promoters.
Did No Mauling
He did no wrestling nor maui
ing with the fighters. He kept
the action in front of him at all
times and broke the boys by COM
mand rather than force. He let
them fight it out according to the
rules and only when action def
nitely suspended for moment
did he take action.
Major Harvey Miller. secretary
of the District Boxing Commis-
sion, is the authority for the state
ment that a story appearing IN
the washington Times one week
ago had been called to the atten-
ton of the referees operating
under local license. His statement
confirmed unofficial statements
made by the referees in personal
conversations with this writer dur
ing the last week.
Perhaps that opinion sent forth
in these columns has started q re-
form in the work of officials and
brought about a Qualification OF
the rules and the Interpretation
of the rules.
Saw Good Official
Whatever the cause, a capacity
crowd at the Riding and Hunts
Club saw at least one official
work to the Nth degree Of ef-
ficiency and give a decision that
was eminently correct. We may
look forward to similar perform
ances by the other referees as
they receive their assignments in
future bouts.
And incidentally. the crowd that
iammed Goldie Ahearn's temple
of action fully appreciated the
fine work of a good referee. There
is no reason why every bout
should not be handled in exactly
that manner.

Explaining To A Lady
About That Army Team
And Its Pass Defense
By BILL CoRUM

NEW YORK, Nov. 81 am
sitting in Jack and Charles
eating a steak sandwich but
omitting the onion, being an
optimist at heart when a charm
ing young lady whose name is
Eleanor Jones says to me that
she has made what might be
called personal appearances in
most of the other columns in
town and that she doesn't see
why this one should be an ex-
ception.
Neither do I, an so I will
now explain for the benefit of
Miss Jones and the two old
gentlemen playing cribbage in
the billiard room, why it is that
West Point football teams are
notoriously susceptible to those
long forward passes, such as the
ones with which Notre Dame
whipped them in the Yankee
Stadium on Saturday after.
noon.
To most of the 10000 who
sat in on that something less
than heart7stopping football
duel, the two passes that left
the Army talking to itself may
have, in fact, must have looked
like haphazard, hit-or.miss, the
Lordbe-With-us filings. But
there was more to them than
that.
Just like the boys in the
fight game we're wont to say
so and so is a sucker for a
left hook, Notre Dame knew
in advance that the soldiers
were wide open for those long.
gambling heaves that ordinarily
do not trouble even the East
Aurora High School eleven.
Why?
My dear Miss Jones, it Is as
simple as a little frock from
Paris, France. It is even as
simple as the guy who thinks
that he, personally, is the ex-
ception who proves all the
rules.
Fed on Rules
It is like this. All soldiers
are brought up and fed on
rules and regulations. Personal
initiative at West Point and in
all military academies and col
leges and in all armies is dis
couraged, not encouraged.
All soldiers cut their teeth on
general orders, which begin:
"My general orders are to walk
this post in military manner"
And go on from there.
What 1 am getting at is that
there is a rule in football
against interfering with the re-
ceiver of forward passes. And
furthermore, that to a kid from
West Point a rule is a rule with
a capital r." You can watch
Army football teams play until
YOU are as old and gray as
Benny Havens, and you will see
'em infringe no rules OF the
game.
They may be offside now and
then. That is an error in tim
ing. But as for wilfully ignoring
a rule, they wouldn't know how.
So the longer pass is, the more
time in which these kids have
to think, "Now I mustn't inter-
fere with this receiver"
And, consequently. the easier
it is for the receiver to catch
the hall.

a specially constructed bed big
enough to enable him to rest
comfortably had been installed.
'T'm feeling awfulIy sleepy,

prior to his departure for sleep

KEN|LWORTHCLUR
FOR BOYS OPENED
Mai. Brown Stresses I'M
portance of FriendIiness
With Policemen.

Stressing the importance OF q
more friendly spirit between boys and
policemen of the District, Maj E. w.
Brown. Superintendent of the Metro
politan Police Department, officially
opened the Kenilworth Boys Club OF
the Metropolitan Police Department
last night in the club rooms at Ken
ilworth avenue and Ord street north
east.
II am fully aware Of the fact that
the eleventh precinct does not have
adequate policing and this movement
will help the Police Department IN
taking the boys off the streets" said
Maj Brown. Recommendation OF an
other station house in the Northeast
section of the city will be made In
the near future and all station houses
to be built in the future will INCLUDE
space for a boys club and room IN
which citizens associations may meet,
Maj. Brown said.
Gymnasium Secured
Originally organized as the Kenil-
worth Pioneer Scouts by Herbert A.
Wardius. the club soon caught the
attention of the Police Department
with the result that members OF the
eleventh precinct contributed equip
ment and helped Wardius, who had
been using the basement OF his house
for a clubroom, to secure an aoan-
doned school portable for gymna-
SUM. Since last December When
Wardius assembled some Of the boys
in his neighborhood for instruction In
boxing, wrestling, tumbling and par
liamentary procedure, the club has
grown in membership to more than
so, and according to Wardius. Is now
growing faster than ever.
"The interest shown by the cltl-
zens of Kenilworth and the parents
of the members, and the sponsoring
of the club by the Police Department
will, I am sure, make the movement
a complete success" said Capt. S. j.
Marks of the eleventh precinct. i
am personally convinced that the
good effects Of the club will be no
ticeable In the years to come when
the boys of today become the men OF
tomorrow.
Committee Active.
A committee composed OF w. H.
Webb. ]. Burke, A. Farr, H. Wardius,
j. Fitzgerald, j. Alexander, W. j.
Blake. S. K Murphy. j. Runner,
H. K. Kent and I. D. Wiseman have
been active in the organization OF
the new club.
In addition to Maj. Brown and

Citizens Association; Miss Elizabeth
Emmons, principal Of the Kenilworth
school; Ofhcer L Meshcoi, instructor
of the Fifth Precinct Boys Club, and
Herbert A. Wardius, organizer and In
structor of the Kenilworth Boys CLUB,
made brief speeches.
Wardius says the club has now
grown to such an extent that ne IS
endeavoring to obtain an adjoining
abandoned school portable to give the
bows all the space necessary for their
activities. The club will be the guests
of the Police Department SATURDAY
