That is a pretty severe test
they put you through when you
take the examination for ref
. eree's license down at 462 In
D. diana Avenue, where the Dis
trict of Columbia Boxing Com
a mission holds forth.
1t is a little surprising the
: things you are supposed to know
in order to boss two fighters
around the resin-frosted ring,
and to be frank with you our
face would be red we're any,
. body to pop some of the ques-
tions thereat.
They give you a set of q
queries involving the various
situations which might, and
often do, crop up in the course
of a ring engagement. Some
of them are honeyS. Others are
very practical ring questions
with which any candidate to
officate as a referee should be
familiar.
Rabbit, Kidney Punches
For instance, the first thing
they shoot at you is a request
to write the initial paragraph Of
the Marquis of Queensberry
rules, a thing I ween very few
are prepared to do.
. An applicant for a referees
. permit is then asked to describe
in writing, a rabbit punch, how
It is delivered, why it is a foul,
:. what damage it does on delivery
and whether the objection to it
is because of its immediate or
q ultimate effects.
The same questions relative
to the kidney punch are also
propounded, the idea being to
make sure a ring official under
stands what the blows are and
the underlying principles max
ing them Objectionable.
Particular stress is laid on the
action of the referee with ref
erence to damage to the eyes of
contestants. The applicant is
asked the difference between
his action when he is not sure
of the seriousness of such dam
age and when he is convinced
that to allow the fight to pro-
ceed would be dangerous to the
affected fighter.
Based on Incidents
A question based on the
famous incident of the Louis
Angel Firpo-Jack Dempsey fight
inquiries as to what action
would be taken by the applicant
were he refereeing a bout in

DUNLAP WINS
AFTER HARD
BATTLE
BY T. C. WATSON
International News Service staff
COrreepOndent

PRESTWICK, Scotland, May %
G.N.SO With one of their usual
pack finishes, Americas golfers
moved further into a contending
position for the British Amateur
golf championship today, Johnny
Goodman, Open champion, ad-
vancing to the second round, and
Johnny Fischer, Cincinnati; Jesse
Guilford, Boston; Jack Westland,
Chicago, and George Dunlap, New
York, moving into the third.
Dunlap, the American amateur
champion, after his 22-hole match
of yesterday, picked up another
live one today, barely beating
A. w. Breault, little known anna
teur from Detroit, / up, eighteen
holes.
Two Americans Lose
This, of course, meant the auto
matte elimination of one Ameri'
can, and so, unfortunately, did
the Johnny Fischer-Gus More
land meeting, the former finish
ing with two brides to win
great match.
AS for the rest, all was strictly
kosher, as the following returns
prove:
First-round match Johnny
Goodman, Omaha, defeated w.
M. Robb, Mosely, 5 and 4.
Second-round matches - Jesse
Guilford, Boston, defeated Lister
Hartley, English internationalist'
and 8; Jack Westland, Chicago.
defeated Lieut.. Col. E. w. Tate,
st. Andrews, and 3; Johnny
Fischer, Cincinnati, defeated Gus
Moreland, Dallas, Tex, 3 and 2;
George Dunlap, New York, de-
feated A. W. Breualt, Detroit,
/ up.
There was one other American
casualty, but it was of minor
consequence, P. A. Valentine, New
York, losing to E. w. Layton,
Walton Heath, by 6 and 4.
Little Remains
One other American, Lawson
Little, remained in the lists, OF
course, the Californian not being
due to play his second-round
match until tomorrow. The total
of American survivors after two
days, therefore, numbers six OF
the original 13, Douglas Grant, eX-
Californian, not being counted.
Goodman, making his first start
in this championship, which the
betting expects him to dominate,
played excellently, although a tri-
file shakily on the greens. He was
out in SO to be up on Robb, and
lost only one hole altogether, the
twelfth. Johnny was hitting beau
tiful irons, but missed puts of two
and three feet thrice during the
round.
However, for spectacular iron
shots today, all had to yield the
palm to Fischer, who went down
to Moreland at the second, where
Gus laid one dead for 2, and
his only win of the round. After
that, Fischer simply couldn't be
beaten, although three stymies-
at the third, fourth and fifth
holes-kept him from taking the
lead until the twelfth. He fin
ished with three brides in the last
seven holes played, sinking a 30
footer and 10-footer on the last
two to close out the match.
It was tough one for Moreland
to lose, but. then, he won tough
one from Francis Ouimet yester.
day, so everything seemed even.

other generation, and the surprise

Physical Difference Great.

physically, the odds against
Walker seemingly are overwhelm-
ing. He will weigh 20 pounds
less. scaling 1913 to 1873. Even more
important is the disparity in their
ages. Walker, fighter for IS years,
is 33 years old. Brown, who began his
pugilistic career six years ago, is %.
In their ring styles there likewise is
q vast difference between the rivals
Brown is far and away the cleverer
boxer, but Walker. though he unques-
tionably has slowed, is much the. hard
er puncher.
Indications today were that a SELL
out will be recorded when the main
eventers step into the ring for what
easily stacks up as the most important
battle here since legalization of box
ing. The auditorium, packed to capac-
ity. will hold approximately 5000 for
boxing.
Don Petrin, big favorite in the
Capital. will oppose Mickey Taylor
stablemate of Walker. in an eight
round heavyweight semi-final. Petrin
one of the sweetest boxers to show here
last Summer, figures to outlook the
rugged Taylor. Both hail from New
Jersey.
In preliminaries, Roddy Davis

Terry of st. Louis at six rounds; An

box Bill Bullock of Washington over

Mr.. Moran was very strict about
praying. 1t is said that he rushed
into the Centre dressing room before
the Harvard ganfs, found his boys nap
ping and saved 'the situation in the
nick of time.
Down on Hsur knees, men,"
cried Mr.. Moran. Here come
the sports writers!"
Both Mr.. Neale and Mr.. Moran bor-
rowed their methods from professional
base ball. They used economy, a pop
ular base ball trait. and they used
prayer, which Mr.. Neale brought to
the highest point of its development
in the series of 1919. I don't know for
certain that Mr.. Neale is praying at
New Haven, but if Yale beats Army
in its next game you can be pretty
sure that Greasy has established con-
tact again.

YEW YORK, October 24-Bul-
letins from Yale University
\ this year have made no ref

v this year have made no ref
erence to the power of prayer,
but this may be an oversight. In
fact, it must be. When Yale wins a
foot ball game by the score of $40,
and when Greasy Neale is a member
Of the Yale coaching staff, you can
put two and two together and bet
eight to five that Greasy has been
praying again.
I don't mean to attribute the whole
of Yale's success to Mr.. Neale. No
doubt Ducky Pond and the other
coaches have helped some with their
coarse technical methods. But Mr..
Neale is the man who prayed the Gin
cinnati Reds to victory in the world
series of 1919, and the Washington
and Jefferson foot ball team to the
Rose Bowl in 1921.
He must be exerting the old
power at Yale this Fall
You know the Neale record. He
patrelled the outfield for Cincinnati
the year that the Reds won the Ma
tional League pennant and went on
to beat the White Sox in the series.
1t was quite feat. People asked Mr..
Neale to explain it. He did.
Attributes Success to Prayer.
"THE power of prayer won the Sc
ries for us" Mr.. Neale told the
congregation of the First Pres
byterian Church of Marietta, Ohio.
Later it looked as though the White
Sox, with their strictly business policy,
might have had something to do with
the result themselves. They were in
close touch with Mr.. Arnold Rothstein
that year. But Mr.. Neale never con-
ceded this, and perhaps he was right.
At one time or another he did a
good deal of pulpit work He might
have been the spiritual heir of Billy
Sunday if his duties as foot ball coach
at w. and j.. Virginia, Muskingum
and West Virginia hadn't kept him so
busy.
MIR. Neale used the power Of
prayer on his foot ball teams all
the time, with uniform success.
The best of them was the Washing
ton and jefferson team of 1921, which
ran roughshod over Bethany, Buck
nell. West Virginia Wesleyan, Carnegie
Tech, Lehigh, Syracuse, Westminster,
Pittsburgh. West Virginia and Detroit.
The team pushed on to the Rose Bowl,
where, against California, Mr.. Neale
relied on combination of prayer and
economy.
