The Washington times., 1938-12-30
BY LEWIS BURTON

The present Tremendous
stature of the Rose Bowl game
is the result of gradual evolu.
tion. The rules governing the
selection of teams, the stadium,
even the division of spoils, were
developed gradually. But not so
with the Sugar Bowl. New Or
leans presented the Sugar Bowl
game to the world in full bloom
on January /, 1885, the result Of
community enterprise.
Frankly admitting that their
purpose was to encourage tour
lists to visit New Orleans, a group
of business men organized the
New Orleans Mid-Winter Sports
Association. They induced 800
individuals to subscribe 500
each for the purpose of guaran.
teeing $4,000 to the Northern
team, $4,000 to the Southern
team, and having $4,000 left for
expenses. Tulane and Temple
were invited and accepted.
FIRST GAME A NATURAL
It went over with a. bang in
two ways. The success of any
annual sports enterprise often
depends upon the merit Of the
first show. The Mid-Wmter

Sugar Bowl Classic an Instant Hit

This was all the drama needed
to put the Sugar Bowl across.
but it remained for the final
period to clinch the contests
place in the hearts of New Or
leans. A 27-yard touchdown
pass from Mintz to Hardy,
caroming off the fingers of
Temples Mowrey before it was
caught, produced a winning
touchdown for Tulane. The
Green Wave won, 20 to IA.
Since then attendances and
proceeds have mounted steadily,
but never reached such a pro
portion that it could take first
pick of the nations teams over
the Rose Bowl. 1t had two
Southern teams in 1867. C.
U. and L. S. U. In the follow
ing two years, it had Santa Clara
paired with L. s. U. But this
fall it had it's best turn of for
tune. Texas Christian, snubbed
by the Rose Bowl, and Car
negie Tech, beaten once but
voted the best team in the East,
were both available at the Sugar
Bowls rapidly growing rates.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Dec. 30
Meetings of Army and Navy
teams in IL different lines of sport
will feature the athletic program
for 1899, in spite of many other
top-notch events in which the
service school teams will take part.
The soldiers had something the
better of the controversy in 1888
being victors in six Of the ten
meetings, including the grid clas,
sic, which is the athletic rivalry
climax.
Swimming and golf are the
sports in which the two will en-
gage for the first time, meeting in
all other sports, except boxing
and wrestling.
Navy will be host at a basket
ball game, February Is, and on
the same day the gymnastic teams
will engage at West Point. March
4, at Annapolis, the fencers will
meet in a match which will also
include the swordsmen of Har-
ward, Yale and Princeton, and on
March 18, also at Annapolis. the
first service swimming match
will lake place.
The five matches in spring
sports will take place on the
same day-May 27-lacrosse,
tennis and golf at Annapolis. and
baseball and field and track at
West Point
The only fall date set offers
football in the Municipal stadium,

pie reeled off a lead Of IA to 0
in the first half. Tulane'S cause
not only seemed hopeless. but it
looked as if the Green Wave was
about to be flattened out.
On the kickoff following Tenn
pies second touchdown. how
ever, Tulane began to come with
cyclonic fury. Monk SiInons. a
big, powerful ball-carrier, caught
a lateral pass from Mcdaniel
on the return of the kickoff
and cut loose on a sensational
dash of rs yards for a touch
down. That incident put new
spirit and drive into the Tu-
lane team.
TULANE GETS BREAK
It succeeded in stopping Tenn
pie at the 11-yard mark after
Smukler's charges had paced
the team through a 64-yard
drive in the third period. Pres
emily, Tulane got break. Little
shifty Bucky Bryan returned an
Owl punt from midfield to the
Temple 27 and shortly after
ward threw an 11-yard pass to
Hardy for the touchdown that
tied the score.

MEETING WITH
ARMSTRONG aim
OF Ex-TITL|ST
BY PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, Dec. 80 U.N.S).
He has been featherweight and
lightweight champion of the
world. He has been one of the
greatest fighters the ring ever
saw. He has fought and licked
the best they could toss in with
him.
He never ducked a fight in his
life. Always fought cleanly and
honestly and never alibied a de-
feat. He has made two fortunes
inside the ropes-and lost them
outside. He has been reported
washed up half a dozen times, but
always bounced back better than
ever.
He is Tony Canzoneri, the pride
of New Orleans, who makes his
fifth fight in his latest comeback
tonight when he crawls through
the ropes to meet the toug Eddie
Zivic, Of Pittsburg, over the 10
round trail.
Tony isn't one of those who can
say his best friends wouldn't tell
him. They've all told him that
he should stay in retirement and
that If he didn't, he surely would
wind up walking on his heels and
mumbling to himself.
WANTS ARMSTRONG
But thus far Tony has made
his friends look like chumps. He
believes they will look even worse
after he beats Henry Armstrong
for the welterwight title.
Oh, yes, that's Tony's program.
A win over Zivic tonight-and
he's a 7-to-5 choice to get the de-
cision-then a victory over Pedro
Montanez and finally the title
shot with Armstrong.
I'm not trying to kid any
body about this comeback" said
Tony. "I need the money for
my wife and baby. Why
shouldn't try to get it in the
only way I know?
FAR FROM BEING OLD MAN
"And I have no illusions about
myself as a fighter. I know I'm
not as fast as I used to be. But
I'm far from being the old man
they call me. I'm only 80. OF
course, I've been fighting for IS
years and that's robbed me Of
some of my speed.
II think I can take Zivic and
Montanez in stride. After I beat
them I want a shot at Arm
strong. I've watcher him fight
many times. He's great little
fighter but I think his style is
made TO order for me. always
did like those boys who rush in
swinging. don't think he's ever
been hit like I'll hit him. Just
remember that I told you So"
All right, Tony, we'll remember
and we all hope you're not looking
through rose-colored glasses.

cation for men.
Only II deaths directly attrib'
utable to football we're reported in
DR.. Eastwood's survey This was
a reduction of 48.4 per cent since
the peak year of 1881. OF those
fatalities only two were in colleges.
There were four on sand lots,
three among athletic club teams
and eight in high schools.
The high school record was the
best since the study was inau-
gurated, and DR.. Eastwood ex-
pressed the opinion that the re-
duction could be ascribed largely
to improved conditions in leader
ship.
The report pointed out that the
mortality rate per 100000 expos
ures amounted to 81 for colleges
and IL for high schools. This
means that about one to three
players are fatally injured for
every 100000 exposures as COM
pared with automobile rate of 31.8
per 100000 for the age groups
of is to "a years.
Since 1881 college fatalities have
been reduced rs per cent, sand lot
go per cent and high school 80 1-3
per cent. Credit for this tremend-
GUS saving of life is given to better
equipment, rules changes and
more competent supervision.
A detailed study of the report
shows that the greatest number Of
fatalities occur during the month
Of october and in the first Is min
utes of game. The head, spinal
cord and abdomen were the parts
of the body more frequently fatal
ly injured. Forty-three per cent
Of the fatalities were the result Of
tackling, II per cent from block
ing and 9 from being tackled.

Sports Association, ostensibly to
encourage amateur athletics, has
since expanded its program in
the hope that by including ten
mis-, basketball and track 1t
might overshadow the Rose
Bowl, but it staked everything
on the success of its first foot
ball game.
To say the least, it was a
hummer. Tulane, cochampion
of the Southeastern Conference.
was unbeaten and united in
Southern competition. Temple,
powerful and deceptive, was a
typical Pop" Warner team. It's
main weapon was Dave Smuk-
Ter, who Warner termed the
greatest player he had ever
seen-a compliment he pre-
viouSly had paid in turn to Jim
Thorpe and Ernie Nevers.
10000 TURN OUT
The site Of the fray was the
Tulane University Stadium, just
as it is now. Actually there is
no such thing as a Sugar Bowl.
The sponsors justified their Sc
lection of a name on the ground
that South Louisiana often has
been called the nations Sugar
Bowl. About 10000 people
turned out and each of the par
ticipating universities received
$20,759.20.
If this wasn't enough to as
sure the future of the event, the
contest was. With Smukler lead

Henry's Tops

This Is the punch that gets
Louis precedence over Arm
strOng's three titles. And that
makes the selection as wrong as
the butchers hand on the
scales.
In all the history Of boxing
there has never been a fighter
like Armstrong. And the rea-
son nobody believes it is be-
cause Armstrong Is here to
prove it.
Everybody would be talking
about him il he were a legend
like Joe Cans, Kid GriffC, Sui
Ivan, Mace, Mendoza and the
other Currier-IveS champions.
Armstrong will not be around
over another year because he
takes too much in retaliation.
Which is further proof Of our
observation that, when you are
close enough to slug the other
guy, he is close enough to bopp
you.
