New York, Oct. 22.-(UP)-As regularly as the football seasons roll round, there is offered a new batch of evidence that the fancy sounding talk of miracle" coaches may safely be filed away along with the chatter of the gentlemen who have discovered perpetual motion, and Q means of bridging the Att lantic.
 What I'm trying to say is that when you talk of this coach or that coach being 8 miracle worker, a Merlin who can make something out of nothing, you are just bab- bling conversational horsefeathers for the pleasure of listening to your own mezzo- contralto, basso pro- fundo,. or coloratura soprano. The material makes the coach, and 1t can tln-make him even faster than 1t can make him. You don't have to take my word for it, either; all you've got to do is take look around the country at the former miracle" coaches who are rocking on their heels.
 On the Skids
 Brother Howard Jones of U. s. c. is sterling example. Four or five years ago when U. s. 0. was running rough-shod over all opposi- tion, 1t was pretty generally agreed that Brother Jones was so smart, and knew so much football, that he could take a squad of signer midgets and put 'ern in the Rose Bowl. While Brother Jones never admitted to any such greatness, l never heard of him denying it. Then something happened to his material. Those big backs who could run and pass and kick, and those towering linemen who were not only bigger, but faster than . truck started going, somewhere else. And U. 6. 0. started losing. It hasna stopped yet, although Brother Jones probably is even smarter than he was then.
 No less sterling an example f Brother Harry Kipke at Michigan

Good Fights Booked to Support Carnera-Neu-
 sel Main Bout
Especial to The Democrat)

New York, Oct. 21.-Promoter James J. Johnston, of Madison Square Garden, has not yet com pleted the card of preliminaries in support of the Walter Neusel-P Primo Camera match at the Garden on November but two of the bouts decided on are sure to attract the interest of all fight fans.
 The semi final, six rounds, will bring together Tony Galento and Eddie Nader. This bout may attract almost as much attention as the main event. Tony is the New Jersey boy who is noted for his powerful wallops. Although only five feet, ten inches in height he weighs 225 pounds and his records would make him a formidable opponent for any heavyweight
 Eddie Nader is a New West Slider and is 24 years of age, one year the junior of Galento. Before turning professional Nader won the light heavyweight title of the National Guards. Recently he has been a con- sistent winner, Hank Hankinson be- ing his latest victim.
 Looks Good
 The Max Marek-Bob Pastor bout of six rounds will also be interest," ing. Marek is the Chicago boy who turned pro last July and has since won five fights, three by knockouts. As an amateur he held two Golden Gloves championships and in 1885 defeated Joe Louis in Boston for the national amateur light heavy- weight title. Bob Pastor is regard ed as one of the most promising of the younger heavyweights. He is one of the few college men to enter the boxing game, having been & student at N. Y. U.
 Both Nelsel and Camera contin- ued their training yesterday, each before gatherings of several hun dred spectators. The German at his Pompton Lakes camp, after his morning routine work boxed five rounds in the afternoon, three with Abe Simon and two with Ace Clark, Neusel, while employing a left jab to good advantage, is using his right much more effectively than when he began training.
 Camera at Madame Bey's Sum- init, N. J. camp, is gradually talk ing off weight and his trainer, Nick Florio, says he will enter the ring at 200, his usual fighting weight. In the afternoon Primo spared five rounds with his mates, two each with Jimmy Merriot and One Punch Williams and one round witt, Lou Kieseweiter.

7o-day:s Sports Parade

Two years ago, when his Wolver- ines were the scourge of the Big Ten, many enthusiasts said Kipke was the most wonderful thing since the first rainbow. Now, only two seasons later, many of those same enthusiasts are suggesting he be sent of to chase the end of the rainbow to make room for someone else.
 Miracles Galore
 This brings us down to Brother Lou Little of Columbia who was 8 miracle" man as late as last Sat- urday at noon. Then Brother Lit- ties Lions were devoured alive, 34 to o, by Pennsylvania, and the boys are beginning to ask questions, They want to know why, if Mir. Little won the Rose Bowl in ,34 with @ team composed of nonentities. he couldn't do the same thing again this year. The answer is this-Mr. Little didn't have a poor squad in '34. He had a pretty fair bunch of ball. players. This year the Alumni, be- lieving Brother Little was a won- der-worker, neglected to supply him with any talent. And Little, like Jones and Kipke and all the other thousand and one coaches in this country, can't get to first base with out somebody to lug that ball, and somebody else to knock down the enemy.
 Three Way Line
 Who is to blame for this tragic business of blowing up 8 coach to super-heroic proportions just to hear him pop2 I'd say the blame was pretty well distributed between the fans, the press and the coach. The fans exult, the press ballyhoos. and the coach, warmed by the soft rays of the spotlight, basks. A smart coach, believe. could stop 1t; stop it simply by announcing, over and oyer again, that his victories were won by his players and that if they weren't as capable as they were, all his fine theories would be just so many useless diagrams on Copyright 1855 v United rzszs.o

all he is waiting for is to have Coach Tom Scadden blow the whistle and nothing will stop him. Capt. Johnnie Conlan says that his team will not be defeated this year. Doc. Carey is to try and oust Capt. Conlan from his position this year, Carey as you know, was our star guard last year but this year he expects to go into a forward posi- tion and he Is giving the rest of the boys a warning to watch his smoke, and how! Charlie Connell leading point getter last year says that he will be faster and better this year. (Hope so, Charlie).
 On the Hop
 Little John Slavin seems to have grown 8 few inches and promises to give the boys in the rear court a battle for positions. Mice ginog- going, John"
 Pepper Carr's ambition is to set the pace in scoring this year, he says it is going to be a tough job, but he is sure he can do it. More power to you Pepper! It is expected that Eddie Lane and Little Joie Stevens will fight it out again this year the extra guard position. Both boys came right along in great style at the close of the season and a hard battle is expected. May the best man win. It is expected that Phelan will give the veteran Ray German a battle for the cen- ter position, while a stiff battle is expected between the twi veterans for the right forward position be- tween "Ronk" Dubuque and Owen Kyle. While in the rear court it is expected that Charlie Connell and Greg. Gilmartin will start the sea- son at their old post but John Sla- win says he is goin to give the two veterans @ stiff battle for their po- sitions and how?
 All in all, Coach Tom Scadden has some wonderful material from which to pick his teams, and 1t looks like the local sqlires will 90 places this year.

 weight GO at Boston
BY HENRY MINOTT s United Press Stan CorrespOndent)

United Press Stan COrrespOndent) Boston, Oct. 22-(UP)-Vernon Cormier of Worcester, regarded only . couple of years ago as a punch-drunk has-been, will have a slot ct the world featherweight championship tonight when he meets Cincinnatis Freddy Miller in a l5-round bout.

 Great Record
 Tonight's fight will be Miller! 196th start. He hasn't lost half 2 dozen decisions, and he has many a knockout to his credit. A south paw, he plans to set a fast pac' in an effort to offset Cormier's ha' bitual two-fisted attack.
 The champion is 24 and tht challenger is about seven months older.
 Both men are fresh from barn storming triunphs abroad. During nearly a year in Europe, Miller scored 32 successive victories, while Cormier, during an Australian cam. paign, defeated 16 opponents, most. ly by kayos, and added to his laurels in England.
 Nice Pay
 The Miller Cormier fray has the sanction of the National Boxing Association as a titular contest. Ii the gate amounts to the anticipa- ted $15,000, Miller's share will be $450O and Cornier's $3000. Part of the balance will go to charity.

SENSATIONAL HIGH
 SCHOOL CHALLENGE

St. Louis, Oct. p -(UP)- A blanket challenge to high school football teams throughout the country was issued today by Maple wood High, suburban St. Louis secondary school, which has scored 200 points in five games.
 The Maplewood eleven has dis played a type of game that has made it impossible for them to schedule neighboring teams in Mis- souri and Illinois for two open dates still on their 1885 schedule.
 Averaging slightly more than 168 pounds, the Maple Leafs have held opposing teams not only scoreless but outside their 4O-yard line.
 Coached by Ben Douglas, former Grinnell College star, the team uses a short punt formation with spin ner plays combined with highly perfected air attack.

United Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 Oklahoma City, Oct. 22.-(UP)- Over the Twin Hills golfing trail where champions were tried and found wanting, the National P. G. A. tournament went into the semi- final rounds to-day.
 Al Zimmerman, Portland, Ore, was matched against Johnny Re- volta, Milwaukee; and Al Watrous, Detroit, against Tommy Armour, Detroit.
 The long haul behind these four was filtered with such casualties as Paul Runyan, the defending champion; Sam Parks, Jr., national open champion; Walter Hagen, the medalist who shot his bolt in the qualifying round; and Gene Sara zen, Connecticut squire who an- nounced in advance that the tour nament was his.
 Runyan Ruined The latest of these was Runyan defending titlist from White Plains, N. r., he appeared to be headed for a repeat until the youngster from Portland broke the illusion yester- day. Zimmerman's two under par for the 34 holesh was more than Runyan could stand. The 27-year old northwesterner won, 3 and 2. Watrous advanced at the expense of Horton Smith, Chicago, up. Revolta busted Ed Schultz, Troy, N Y., 4 and 2. Armour defeated Ed Dudley, Philadelphia, up on the 39th hole.
 Runyan paid high tribute to Zim- merman.
 T didn't make but one or two mistakes all day-but Al didn't make that many" he said.
 Against Zimrnerman's figure ot two less than par, Runyan was two over. Runyan overcame two-hole lead to square the match at the halfway mark. On the 20th Run- van took three strokes from the edge of the green.
 Zimmerman increased his advan- tage to two holes at the 24th, and to three at the 18th. '"
 Close Call
 Armour had a narrow escape when he sliced his drive into 8 ditch on the 36th, where he was leading one up. He laid out and went into 8 trap. Dudley took a par. After two halves, Dudley sliced into the woods and Armour took the match.
 At the end of the third nine, in one under par, Revolta took a two- hole advantage which was too much for Schultz.
 Smith was three down at noon. His 69, one under par, for the af- ternoon wasn't quite enough to bal- ance that handicap ard Watrous won the final hole which was halved.
