Down The Drives With K. Of c. Leaguers

With the first round of bowling
over with, we find that the News
boys are leading the pack by the
margin of two games, which is not
very healthy In any mans league.
The Lawyers team composed OF
Capt. Frank Spillane, Joe Robin
son, John Shadow Phelan, Joe
Lee, and Marty Parker took the fast
stepping Newsboys into camp the
other evening, the lawyers coming
out on top with two out Of three
games. 1t doesn't look so good for
the Newsboys. All teams are now
hitting their stride and after the
scalps Of Neil Maloney and his
crew.
The X. of C. bowlers wish to thank
the officers Of the league for the
way In which the league Is being
conducted this year, especially the
very efficient secretary, Walter E.
Monagan, Jr., who has worked hard
to make this year one of the best
in the X. of G. bowling history.
The "115" club this week has
taken big drop, the following
comprise 1t this week, Hardy with
100, Gordon with 119, Carangelo
with 124, Howard with 1873, Evans
with 100.
Howard OF the Newsboys with
high single this week, 1873. High
three went to Evans also Of the
Newsboys with 1886, while high team
went to the Newsboys with 568, the
Newsboys also had high total with
1872.
After the recent match with the
Newsboys, Capt. Frank Spillane of
the Lawyers said that he was well
satisfied with the showing his team
made last week, his team has come
into its own and are on their way
up to the league leadership and he
intends to keep the boys practicing
each day for their coming match
with the Engineers In week or
two. Frank says that II his team
can win two out of three from the
Engineers they will be right In there
for the cash prizes. The writer was
also informed that the Newsboys
were O little tired that night. espe-
cially their anchor man, Neil
Maloney who had TO walk all the
way In from Middlebury that night
and that accounts for their defeat
TO the Lawyers.
Everything Is In readiness for the
second round which will begin next
week. Secretary Walter Monagan

SEVEN team IVY
FOOTBALL LOOP
NOW PROPOSED
Student Editors Release
Identical Editorials To-
day; Many Advantages

New York, Dec. 3-(UP)-Imme-
date establishment Of an IVY foot
bah league" with Harvard, Yale,
Princeton, Cornell, Dartmouth, Col
umbia and Pennsylvania as MEM
bers was recommended today in
Identical editorials In underRradu-
ate publications Of those seven In
situations.
1.-THE Ivy league exists already In
the minds Of Q good many OF those
connected with football" the edi-
torials said. I'VE fail to see why
the seven schools concerned should
be satisfied TO let 1t exist as purely
nebulous entity where there are so
many practical benefits which
would be possible under a definite
organized association"
These colleges already cooperate
in the Eastern Basketball and Base
ball leagues and the heptagonal
track meet, Dartmouth, Harvard,
Princeton and Yale also are mem
beers Of the quadrangular and in
ternational hockey leagues.
Advantages Of an ivy league, the
student editors point out, would
be: Standard preseason practice;
elimination Of schedule making
years In advance; q uniform num-
Der Of home contests; mutual scout
ing agreements: standard visiting
team guarantees: and uniform
pcst-season game regulations.

Hogan, New Haven
Ring Sensation,
To Show Here

The amateur fight program to be
presented Tuesday evening at
Buckingham hall is fast taking
shape. Promoter George Mulligan
of the Waterbury A. c., last night
announced that his matchmaker,
Dick Gray, has booked another star
bout for the card.
The latest addition to the eve
ning's entertainment will be a bout
between Julie Hogan, sensational
Jewish mitt singer from New Ha-
ven and joey Marcus, Windsor
Locks Swede, who, during the past
outdoor season. has been a big ia
vorite with the amateur fight en-
thusiasts In Hartford and Meriden.
His appearance here will mark the
first time in more than a year that
Hogan has fought outside OF New
Haven ring. Possessor Of long
victory string, he Is considered one
of the best junior lightweight pros
poets to have cropped UP In all New
England In the last decade.
Standout
Hogan has defeated practically
every featherweight and junior
lightweight Of any consequence IN
Connecticut and very often Is forced
to spot his opponents several
pounds in order to get a chance to
show his ring ability. Boxing Com
missioner Joseph Lawlor, who has
seen the little Hebrew mixer In &C
ton several times, predicts bril-
liant ring future for him.
He has scored two wins over
Poison Ivy OF Hartford, the present
state featherweight champion; holds
a kayo over Frankie Radigan OF
Torrington as well as similar VIC
tory over Mickey Pronto, of Meri-
den, to mention few of the top
notchers who have fallen before his
punches.
Marcus also has fine ring rec
ord. He has defeated such well
known glovers as Mike Murphy,
East Hampton; AL Satryb, Rock
Vile, and Pete Sauca, New Haven.
Another feature attraction has
also been booked for the initial pro-
gram. That will have as Its princi-
pals, frankie Buff, Waterbury Ital-
ian and Sam Maltempo, state mid
dleweight champion, who halls from
Willimantic. In addition, there will
be ten other bouts, fighters from
the heavyweight division down the
Line to the fiyweights will perform.

New York, Dec. 3.-(UP)-Gun-
mar Barlund, Finnish heavyweight
boxer, was being promoted as an
opponent for Joe Louis today after
his third consecutive victory In the
American ring.
Barlund kayoed big Frankie Con-
nelly Of Boston in the ninth frame
of their scheduled 10-round bout at
the Hippodrome last night. Out

impressive in slashing Connolly
down to his size.
The Boston fighter took advan-
tage Of his reach and 228 ID pounds
to win the first two rounds, but q
right smash to the head near the
end Of the second slowed Connolly
down. In the third Barlund went to
work and battered his giant OPP
ponent with hard body smashes and
hooks to the head. After a left to
the solar plexus had doubled up
Connolly, Barlund followed with a
crushing right uppercut and the
Bostonian dropped for the count OF

TERRY, RATED
LOST HAS KEY
TO TRADE TALK
Giant Boss and Hickey
May "Get Together" on
Dean; Lands Arrives
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Montreal, Quebec, December 3. -
CUP - The leading roles on tho
baseball stage were accorded today
to haired Kenesaw Mountain
Lands, Bill Terry, pilot OF the New
York Giants, and J. Louis Comiskey,
owner of the Chicago White Sox.
Lands arrived from Chicago to
address the gathering of minor
leaguers at their 35th annual con-
vention, bringing with him the games
most battling question: Whether
Teller, 1o-year -old pitching sensa-
ton, belongs to the Cleveland In
dams, or his signing violated rule
that will make him a free agent.
It Is unlikely that Lands will an
nounce his decision until after the
major league meetings in New York
next week.
Terry, who Is 40 hours overdue,
holds the key to trading activities In
the National League. II and when
he shows UP, Terry may start the
ball rolling on several deals. The
Dizzy Dean trade Is at standstiI
after the Cardinals refusal OF $780,
600 cash from the Cincinnati Reds
for the garrulous pitching ace.
A Quarter
President Horace Stoneham re-
fuses to discuss Dizzy Dean except
in Joking vein. "WeIl give q quar-
ter for Dean, that's ALL" Stoneman
said laughingly. But Terry, shrewd
trader who got the best Of Branch
Hickey last year In the Roy Parme-
ee-Burgess Whitehead deal, Is ex-
pected to make Hickey come down to
earth II he really wants to trade
Dean. The Giants definitely wanB
Dean to regain favor with New York
fans as a result of their shellacking
at the hands Of the Yankees in the
World Series.
Three clubs are seeking outfielder
Hank Leiber. Cincinnati seems TO
have the inside track for the big
Giant patrolman, with Brooklyn and
the Cubs also In the bidding. The
Cubs, however, will not part with
Third Baseman Stanley Hack and
are not likely to get Leiber without
putting up Hack as bait. The Giants
desperately need a third baseman.
The world champion New York
Yankees apparently will stand pat
as Manager Joe Mccarthy left last
night without entering into any
player negotiations.
The American Association Is max
ing desperate efforts to revive the
little world series with the Interna-
tional League which notified the
association yesterday that 1t had de-
cided to abandon the play-off.
Another discussion was scheduled
today.

is trying to secure an orchestra for
the occasion.
How many Of the present bowlers
remember the famous Jockeys" OF
last year? Well the Jockeys are go
ing to organize again in the very
near future and are going to hold
practice and are going to schedule
games with the winner Of the K. OF
G. league. The boys thought that
1t would be advisable to farm the
Jockeys out to the minor leagues
his year, but are in hopes that
they will be able to come back next
year into big league bowling.
Chief Inspector Joseph P. Stevens
and his Ear Benders at the club
wish to play any and all teams, In
anything, anywhere and any time.
Walter Monagan, Jr., league sec.
rotary, would like to have better att
tendance, and by having better ats
tendance 1t will enable your team
to win the cash prizes.

lieved they would recover. They
spent a fairly comfortable" night,
hospital attaches said.
Both suffered brain conclusions,
Jaw fractures, multiple face lacera-
lions, Commissions and abrasions. Adj
ditionally, Dobie suffered a cheek
bone fracture and the loss of sew
eral teeth, while Murdoch, former
Cornell football captain, also had a

a sprained right wrist. They have
regained consciousness.
while Murdoch appears, on
paper, to be more badly hurt" DR..
Thomas Wickham, attending physi-

about Dobie because Of his age. Our
present impression is that both will
come through"
Only visitors permitted at Dobie's
bedside yesterday were his IS year
old daughter Jane, a Simmons COL
lege freshman, and the Rev. Frank
Sullivan, 8. j., faculty director Of
athletics at Boston college. Dobie's

sity and freshman football lsquads
went to the hospital to offer blood,
but were told transfusions would not
be necessary.
More than 200 persons, including
sports leaders and Boston college
alumni and students, visited the hos
pitai to ascertain condition of the
two coaches. Hundreds Of others
telephoned the hospital.
1t was the second serious accident
to befall Dobie since he came to
Boston college from Cornell 10
months ago. During spring practice

mage.
At the time Of the crash, Dobie
and Murdoch were believed enroute
to Dobies Newton home after q
farewell party at Hotel Kenmore
Dobie's team capped season marred
by only one defeat with 1912 up
set victory over Holy Cross Satur-
day. Murdock's yearling eleven went
through the season indicated.

Senator John Overton CD, Of
Louisiana, revealed that he has
sent q letter to the governor Of
Louisiana urging that the State

paratory steps.
He also recommended to the
governor that the legislature take
like action with respect to plac-
ing the statue of the late Justice

Senator Overton pointed out
that Louisiana has no statues in

on his recommendations will be
taken Immediately so that the
statues can be placed in the Cap.
