Succeed Hanson
AT Syracuse

SYRACUSE, N. r. Nov. "a.
Announcement Of the resignation
Of Victor A. Hanson, Syracuse
University football coach for the
past seven years, was followed to-
day by reports that Earl Marti-
neau, all-America back at Mime
sofa in 1923 and assistant to
Fritz Crisler at Princeton, might
become Hanson's successor.
Although no official bid for his
services has been reported, Marti-
neau is said to be agreeable to a
proposition submitted to him.
Hanson's resignation, which
was unexpected despite the fact
the Syracuse eleven lost seven of
eight games this season, came
after a two-hour conference with
Vice Chancellor Graham.
Hanson, who was an all-America
end at Syracuse, said he had no
plans for the future and resigned
believing it to be for the best in
terest of Syracuse University"
"After being connected with
Syracuse for SO many years as
student and COACH" he said, 81

events and developments made
my resignation the best for all
concerned"
In three of his years as coach,
Hanson's teams went undefeated
except by Colgate. His teams piled
up 33 victories, 81 defeats and
four ties.

Hence the D. c. Boxing Com
mission has decided to take a
more active interest in the de-
velopment of amateur boxing,
without, in doing so, treading on
the toes of the Amateur Athletic
Union, but rather working in har-
mony with that body.
Four Rule Changes
To do so the organization has
adopted four changes
in it's rules and regulations which
become effective Immediately
The changes:
"AMATEUR CONTESTANTS"
"When an amateur contestant
licensed as such, his license card
shall indicate the name Of the
club represented by him. He
shall be instructed that should
he change his affiliatiOn from
one club to another, the Box
ing Commission must be so
notified.
When an amateur contestant
changes his affiIiation from one
club to another, q full year shall
elapse before his performance
shall count toward the team
score of the latter club.
"Amateur contestants register
ing as representatives Of mill
te v or naval organizations must
be bona fide commissioned or en-
Ils.ed members of such units and
a certificatiOn to this affect
shall be required from the
proper official of the Organiza-
tic concerned.
"Tn the case Of a coach of a
boxing team representing a mill
tary or naval organization, q
certificatiOn shall be furnished
by the proper official to the ef-
feet that the coach is either q
commissioned or enlisted men,
ber of the organization con.
cerned or under proper con-
tract to coach the boxing team"

Alabama Only
Real Rival
Of Tigers
By HARRY COSTELLO

Louisiana State University
the Tigers Of the Bayous-today
stand out head and shoulders
above all competitors in the race
for the Rose Bowl assignment.
Right behind l.. S. U. comes
Alabama, thus making it two
Southeastern Conference teams
in the running for the priced trip
to Pasadena.
While Harry Mehre's Bulldogs
Of Georgia were holding the Ford
ham H. Ram to Z to 7 tie, Coach
Bernie Moore's Bayou Tigers were
romping to a SO to 0 victory over
Southwestern Louisiana. Alabama
did not play Saturday
To date, L. S. U. has played
nine games and has run up a
total of 248 points to 33 for the
enemy. Alabama has played
eight games and has scored 154
points to 20 for the opposition.
OF L. S. us nine games, eight
have been major tilts. OF Ala
bama's eight games, five have
been major games. L. S. us has
been much the more difficult Of
the two schedules, and for that
reason the Bayou Tigers have
forged to the front in the race
for consideration as the "East's"
representative in the Rose Bowl.
Both Teams Have Ties
L. S. U. and Alabama each have
been tied, L. S. U. by Texas at 8
to 6, Alabama by Tennessee at 0
to 0. Alabama won over Missis-
sippi State, 7 to o: L. S. U. de-
feated Mississippi State, 13 to 0.
L. S. U. won over Auburn, 10 to
6; Auburn defeated Loyola IN. o.
A to 0; Alabama won over Loyola,
13 to 6. These comparisons, in.
escapable in forming an opinion,
definitely place L. S. U. far ahead
of Alabama in the Rose Bowl race.
Both L. S. U. and Alabama have
games this week. L. S. U. meets
it's oldest and most respected
rival, Tulane, at Baton Rouge, on
Saturday. Alabama clashes with
Vanderbilt. on Thanksgiving Day,
at Birmingham.
L. S. U. already has disposed Of
Vandy, 19 to o; Alabama won over
Tulane, "a to 7.
To date this season, L. S. U. has
defeated Rice, 20 to 7; Georgia,
At to 7; Mississippi, 13 to o; Ar.
kansas, 19 to Z; Vandy; Missis-
sippi State; Auburn and South
western Louisiana Institute. To
date this season, Alabama has
won over Howard, "a to o; Clem-
son, 80 to o; Mississippi State;
Loyola; Kentucky, IA to 0; Tu-
lane; and Georgia Tech, 20 to Is.
Serve Conference
Prior to Saturdays Fordham-
Georgia game, the Rose Hill team
of the Bronx was rated the out
standing eleven for the Rose Bowl
assignment. Georgia broke the
Rose Hill to Rose Bowl" bubble.
In so doing, Georgias Bulldogs
well served their conference.-the
Southeastern. Since L. S. U. won
over Georgia, Al to 7, and since
Georgia tied Fordham, 7 to 7, it
is interesting to note the perform
ances Of L. S. U. and Fordham
against Harry Mehre'S team.

G.W.Near End
Of Splendid
Season
BY KIRK MILLER
Times Sports Editor

Times Sports Editor
The sports spirit Of
Thanksgiving Day is
to be pretty well OBJ
serve d locally by a
football p i e c e de re-
sistance in the form of
George Washington's
game with West Vir-
ginia.
Some sort of a ghost-like
championship can be adduced
from this conflict in view of the
fact that Georgetown earlier in
the season nipped the Noun
taineers by a robust margin Of
25 to 0.
Since Catholic University does
not have sports intercourse with
the Morgantown Marauders, the
line of purely local superiority
hews strictly around these West
Virginians and their Hoya and
Colonial contests.
Up to the ColOnidls
This would seem to put the is
sue squarely UP to George Wash
tngton day after tomorrow, and I
don't mind telling you they have
their work cut out for them.
West Virginia isn't exactly all
dark meat and otherwise not en-
toying one of its banner seasons,
but going into q game knowing
that 20 points are the least you
dare score in order to come out
claiming a mythical championship,
is a psychological angle that might
cramp George Washington's style
no little.
Therefore, Old Man Psychology,
and he's always lurking around
football stadia, may be the twelfth
man in the West Virginia lineup.
Unimpressive as seems West Vlr-
ginia's record this year, it must
be remembered there is no longer
such a thing as a set-up in foot
ball. Saturday after Saturday
the weak rise up and Smlte the
strong. Therefore the assertion
that George Washington has its
task clear cut before it. It may
take nothing for granted.
Doesn't Happen Often
It has been a decade, or at
least it has been years and years,
since Georgetown and George
Washington had a common foe
against whom comparison OF
their relative strength could be
deleniated.
But to get back to this wrath
Of a championship which the
game is supposed to produce, it
may be pertinent to assert at this
juncture that there doesn't ap-
pear to be % points difference be-
tween the Colonials and Noun
taineerS if the number Of points
each has scored this season can
be taken as a yardstick.
There does appear 10 points be-
tween them, that being the diff
ference in their total scores so far
this year, George Washington
having the edge, 1853 to 149. How
ever, that proves nothing, nor do
any pre-game statistics. They all
go breaking up into atoms and
molecules when the starting whis-
tie blows.
No Duplicate Losses
My friend Harry Herkimer
Stansbury, who mans the publicity
pulmotors up at Morgantown,
sends word in advance that West
Virginia has no idea of taking
two setbacks in row in Wash
ington this season. To which as
