Hanging in Public
Cincinnati Enuuirer)


 Those who have forgotten all their history save a few vivid impressions probably remember only one scene from the French Revolution-the execution of carloads of men and women at the guilotine before vast, cheering crowd. That not the most inn portant phase of the French Revolution but it is the feature which has been etched on the memories of men, The guotine symbolizes for most of us the savagery of that revolution contrast to it's great significance in the long story of human progress.
 Public hangngs have similar place in American life Why 1t ever was thought desirable to take the lives of offenders against the law in view of the public 1t IS difficult to imagine But court trials sub- sttute for theater in frontier civilizations public hangings, presumably infrequent but heady substitute for the genter entertainments lacking in the primitive societies of century and more ago.
 In any event, there is in tradition or logic why the worst instincts of should be deber atey fostered by public policy of hanging men in public The revolting spectacle at Owensboro was the hanging of Rainey Bethea. It was the crowd which found in hanging grand entertainment It was the hanging parties which proceeded with liquor and song throughout the night preceding the exe- cuton

PANTHER PINS PAUL ZALINSKI AT BUCK

Max the Panther won two out of three falls and the decision over Paul Zilinski of Poland last night at Buckingham Hall, the loser wind ing up with lilies in his hand as 8 spectator presented them to the Panther who promptly draped them across the Zalinsli bosom. Wild and woody throughout. the bout was en- tertaining enough, Zalinski winning the first fall in 12:43 while less than ten minutes later the Panther had the score all even with flying ta- ckle and the.i went on to win in short order. .
 James J. McMullen's large skull was rattled so much that he could not continue against Lilo Nardi, the latter. winning by default, after 21 minutes of tugging. Maurice Lee Cavell and Walter Percy of England put on the best bout of the night. a draw decision that developed plenty of good wrestling and were given great hand by the fans, which will probably mean a return bout on January 9th, when the next show is staged.
 George Lanthier and George Da- gilis went 90 minutes to~a draw in a good bout while Prince Monongo pinned Bassanta Singh in an open ing bout. Oanno O'Mahony of Ire lGnd may see action on the next card, 1t was learned.

for they can't see how the Rose Bowl can be as hot as the Orange Bowl. which will feature Duquesne, Pitts lone conqueror during the season.
 ' Try and tell them that Pitts de- feat by Duquesne was just one of those things that happen on dark and rainy days and they'll throw sand in your face, sic nlosquitos on you, and put salt and pepper in your sun tan oil.
 The only way to quiet them is to ask what happened to Duquesne when Duke played West Virginia Wesleyan, and even that only par tially halts them, for after explain ing that that game was just one of those things which happen on dark and dreary nights, they go right on amusing you.
 K Which means I'm in for a pretty long siege of abuse, because I saw Pittsburgh play three times this sea- son and am to keep right on say ing 1t has a great ball club until 1t whips Washington and proves same to all the skeptics and critics who have sprung up since the se- lection was made. @
 I'm not alone in the opinion that the Partners are a sweet ball club. Coach Jock Sutherland believes they are, and while there Is an outside chance that the good doctor is a bit biased, he still knows team when he sees 1t. I doubt if Sutherland would have accepted the bid if he didn't have confidence in the Daddios, the Goldbergs, La-Rues, and the Matisis. His former Rose Bowl trips have been 8 bit uncom- fortable and he isn't the sort of man to stick out his neck too often. l remember hearing him say this year, when asked about the Rose Bowl, that he hadn't enjoyed the trips so much because 1t was such long, long trip back, and offered so much time to think, but that he felt that if the team happened to be asked this year, he would en- joy every bit of the scenery coming home.
 Given a dry field, the Pitt team that will roll west next week can generate more unadulterated power than any eleven I ever saw. think it will win at Pasadena, and comfortably.

SPRINGFIELD
Boys Club Sports

Upsets marked the opening of the Senior league at the Boys Club. In the first game of the evening, the Galvins showing a very powerful lineup, played on even terms with the Croft Alumni for three periods only to be rlosed out in the final minutes of play. Despite their loss, the Galvins looked like the team to beat, in the future games.
 The second game proved a re- peater of the first, with St. Ann All- Stars and Endees very evenly matched. The last period again proved fatal for the losers when with the score tied the Endees sud- denly bombarded the hoop to emerge at 28-19 winner over the luckless All-Stars, who time and again were robbed of points by old Dame Luck.
 The last game, another upset, was the one sided game of the evening. This was played by the Sacred Hearts, runner-ups last year, and the Hawks, a new club, with the Hawks winning 32 to IA.
 All in all 1t seems like a very evenly matched league and a ban ner season for basketball at the Cottage Place quarters.

BAY AND
 BOSTON BATTLE

By GEORGE KIRKSEY UniteI Press StafR COrrespOndent


 New York. Dec. 12- OUP) - The Green Bay Packers. the big team from the little town, and the Bos- ton Redskins, the team without a home, battle tomorrow at the Polo Grounds for the worlds profession al football championship. The game should attract crowd of 30,000.
 The Packers, champions of the west, are 2-1 betting favorites over the eastern titleholders, who twice have succumbed to Green Bays aerial circus in regular league games Green Bay rolled up PAS points against it's opponents 118 in win- ming ten games, losing one and tie- ing one during the regular cam paign. Boston scored 149 points to its opponents 1l0 in winning seven games and losing five.
 New York was picked as the site for the game because Boston failed to support the Redskins during the regular campaign. George Marshall. owner of the Boston team, plans to move the Redskins to Washington or combine them with the Phila- delphia Eagles next season.
 Although most critics believe the Packers carry too much all-around power and deception for the Red- skins, the Boston cause is not en- tirely hopeless.
 Boston finished with rush, win ming its last three games in whirl- wind fashion. The Redskins defeat- ed Brooklyn, 30-6, Pittsburgh, 30-0, and New York, 14-0, and allowed all three teams to gain total of only 150 yards gainst theor stuot defense built around Turk Edwards, 250- pound tackle.
 Other stars in the Boston line are Wayne Millner, former Notroe Dame wingman who developed into one of the most valuable players in the league in his first season: Pete Bausch, former U. of Kansas Center and Jim Karcher, erstwhlie Ohio State guard.
 The Redskins attack features Cliff Battles, formerly of West Virginia Wesleyan, and Don Irwin. ex-Col- gate fullback who joined the Red- skins two weeks ago.

GERMAN CLAIMS
 RIGHT TO FIGHT BRADDOCK FIRST
Commission Calls Special Session as Champion
 Wants Louis Bout

New York, Dec. 12-(UP)-Tha N. Y. state athletic commission met in special session today to clarity the heavyweight situation or bounce the whole mess out Q window.
 Disguised with the irnpasse cree ated by Champion Jimmy Brad. docks determination to fight Joe Louis in 12-round Yon-title fight at Atlantic City-and Schmeling's insistance that the champion fight no one before he meets the German in June, the commission called all hands concerned for another show down session.
 A four hour session yesterday ac. complished nothing. The commis- sion ruled that inasmuch as the fighters, the promoters = Madison Square Garden and the 2Oth Gen. tury club-and their managers were unable to agree on conditions for 8 June title fight, they must meet in February or March.
 Virtually everyone connected with boxing interpreted the commissions decision as an off1cial attempt to lead Schmeling and the Garden out of position 50 that they will be forced to agree to Braddock's condition for June bout.
 Max told the commissioners that you promised me match with Braddock if l beat Louis. Braddock failed to fight me last September on account of his health. Now that he Is healthy again, 1t should be me that he fights and no one else. If Braddock is ready to light in February, it's okay by me-"

Miami, Fla, Dec. l2.-UP).- One of the simplest ways to get yourself a free set of lacerations, with conclusions, to- match, is to take stand in pixielarId that Pittsburgh is the team Washington should have chosen to play in the Rose Bowl on New Years day. f
 Southerners consider the choice of Pittsburgh as the insult direct to the flowers of their southern foot ballhood, Alabama and L. s. U., and down here footballhood is Q hood only slightly less precious than womanhood. Here in Miami a de- fense of Pitt, is even more dan- gerous than'in Georgia, Alabama, or Louisiana, which means 1t is only three easy steps removed rom Hari.Kar1. 1t Is more dangerous in Miami because the Miamians have engaged Duquesne to perform their Orang Bowl festival. 3'
 Thisa fact gives a double-edge to the Miamians' anger. They, along with all other southerners. are sore at the rejection of Alabama and +. s. U. that's good for one poke on the Jaw. And the very mention or the Rose Bowl as the standout post. season game is good for anotner,
