So says Major John L. Griffith

night.
Experience told in the Clarence

which the latter was returned
unanimous winner in a 10-round
bout.
Overlin, the Norfolk slasher,
was an overwhelming choice to
take the measure Of the Oriole
battler, but the latter tossed
rights and lefts with reckless
abandon in the fifth round and
had much the better Of it from
then until the seventh.
Seeing that he was being out

his last-minute rush brought the
judges to his side.
Roddy Davis, who was knocked
out a year by joey Britton, gave
him a boxing lesson in the eighth

G.N.s).-An indignant Bill Terry,
minus a brand new automobile,
ushered in the New Year Monday
with a declaration Of war against
Memphis police after a brush
with authorities in which he
came off second best.
Billy, jr., celebrating the New

lighted firecrackers on the
streets and Terry had to go
down and bail him out.
The young manager Of the
New York Giants got his son
out of Jail, but couldn't bulge
police when he demanded re-
turn Of his automobile, con.
fiscated because it bore New
York license plates.
Police took the machine when
they arrested Billy, jr- and a
companion, Milton Sweet. jr.,
stripped OH Cne new YORK license
tags and told Terry he would
have to obtain Tennessee plates.
Terry stormed and ragged in
vain:
"That car was properly regis
tered in New York where I
bought it and where I pur-
chased the license"

the country and you haven't
any right to touch IL"
Police were adamant. Terry
ragged:
Cali right, I'll get the plates.
But let me tell you one thing,
they won't bring you a penny.
I'm a colonel on Governor Nc
Alister's staff and we get free

FOXX NEXT SALE
BY MACK?

Connie Mack has salvaged jim
mie Foxx out of the wreckage Of
his times American League
champions, twice world cham
pions, but the suspicion is grow
ing that for Jimmie, too, it won't
be long.
The appetites Of Chicago. the
Yankees, Detroit, in fact any
team that has a bankroll left,
have been whetted by the sales
Of Grove, EarnShaw, Walberg,
Cochrane and Bishop, and the
Red Sox check book. of course,
Is still wide open and pleading.
Certainly it will be easier now
for the Athletics to listen to blan-
diShmentS.
Through the winter Connie
Mack will hear more and more Of.
fers for Foxx, the champion Of
about everything but pitching in
the American League. He'll keep
wondering to himself what good
Foxx will be now that the rest Of
his aces have departed. And by
spring Connie may weaken.
If Grove, with about three top
years left, was worth 100000,
then Foxx, certain to star for at
least 10 more years, is worth
$250,00O. Tom Yawkey Of the
Red Sox would pay it, too.
There's been considerable grum-
bling among other American
League owners, the wealthy Yam
KEGS in particular, over the sue

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 3.-After
defeating Stanford, TO, on an
oceanic Rose Bowl gridiron. Co
lumbia let down today and went
Hollywood"
Coach Lou Little and his small
but highly talented band of Happy
Warriors mingled with Ginger
Rogers, Jean Muir, and other
Hollywood actresses at victory
celebration at Warner Brothers
First National studios.
The colossal Columbias" were
honor guests at a studio luncheon
and later saw movies being made.
All stages at the studio were
thrown open to the visitors who
were given the privilege Of re-
naming as long as they liked
and many Of them tarried an hour
or more watching actresses and
actors work out under the Kle1g
lights.
Joe E. Brown, movie comedian,
and mascot" Of the University
of California at Los Angeles foot
ball team, personally escorted
the visitors through the giant
stages of the studio.
Worried Over Sub
Coach Little was somewhat con-
cerned over whether Joe Richa-
vich, substitute for Joe Ferrera,
Ineligible tackle, sacrificed a
YEARS eligibility by playing in the
Rose Bowl game.
'T don't know low 1t will
work out" said Little. Because
he played against Stanford
Richavich probably will have
only one more year Of play in
stead of two. This would be
true If the game applied to the
1888 schedule"
At the studio it was revealed
that Bobby Grayson, ace of the
Stanford team, played the entire
last half of the game with two
broken ribs. He told the team
trainer it was "only a muscle
bruise."
Recover From Hurts
"Tony" Natal, crack Columbia
end, and Cliff Montgomery, star
quarterback, have fully recovered
from their injuries-that is, Mont
gomery's "shiner" will be all right
again in a day or two. He was
too happy over the games OUT
come, he said, "to bother over
such a trivial thing as black
eye"
The Columbia team is sched-
uled to depart tonight on its VIC
torious return trip to New York,
but two squadsmen could not
wait. They were Owen Mcdowell
and Tommy Tomb, who left last
night by airplane to join the bas-
ketball squad. They hope to play
against Fordham Saturday night.
Pacific Coast gridiron experts
declared that although Montgom-
cry, Natal and Wilder will be
"among the missing" next season,
Columbia will have another great
team, another perfectly coached
unit.
