PASADENA, Calf, Dec. 81. CUPD
Revenge is SWeet--and Bob FoXx
of Tennessee has a sweet tooth.
Two years ago this 1870 pound.
swivel-hipped boy from Knoxville
came to the University of Southern
California as a freshman. With him
he brought reputation as a whack-
ing good football prospect a fast,
hard hitting, long kicking tailback.
He enrolled in the university and
Tor five days went to classes at the
Los Angeles school. But none of
the football coaches gave him a
tumble. They took a look at his
happy face, his blonde hair, and
figured he wasn't too hot. So Robert.
who knew he was good enough in
a football suit to get little more
attention than that, packed his
bags, caught a midnight train, and
started rolling back to Knoxville.
Six days later he was enrolled
in Tennessee and was getting the
attention he deserved from the Ten
neSsee coaches. They welcomed him
with open arms because they knew
that in FoXX they had a 60 minute
player with class.
Foxx left California in hurry
but before lie left he told the foot
ball team at the University of South
ern California that he would be
back
III be seeing you fellows, and
Ill be seeing you in the Rose Bowl, -
he said. And don't forget this
I'm going to make those use coach
es sorry they didn't give me a
chance"
Now, today, Foxx has kept his
promise. He is back with the Ten
nessee team for the Rose Bowl
game against Southern California
and of all the Volunteers he is the
one most anxious to hear the shrill
Of the kickoff whistle. He wants
to get that oall under his arm and
show Howard Jones and his helpers
what a mistake they made two
years ago.
Foxx is liable TO make them have
regrets OF the Mrs, Otis type before

American track and field COMPETE
ton-one in which new stars came
out of nowhere in the hope of land

was go to Finland next year
But along with these stars came
war and the Olympics apparently
are doomed-wiped out again by
European gunfire as they were in
1916 when Berlin was TO have been

Finland has not officially can
celled the summer games although
Germany, scheduled TO hold the WIN
ter games at Gannisch- -Partenkir-

program. Finland apparently is hold
ing out until the last hope has
faded. When, and if. the Firms can
Gel, the games will be dead because
the international Olympic committee
has voted against awarding them
to another nation.
So as 1910 nears, the Olympic
ideal-revived al Athens in 1896 TO
foster goodwill among the youth
of the world-seems to be in the
discard indefinitely. 1t took two
years after the World war TO get
the Olympics going again in 1920
at Antwerp, Belgium, and this time
amateur athletic officials in this
country feel it may be even longer
before they are revived after this
war.

the most valuable man on the Ten
neSsee team. Cafego has gotten
more publicity as a back, and Molin-

paper clippings to show, but Foxx
was voted the most valuable man
on the team by his teammates. and
the southern newspaper writer's,
who saw the Vols all year, named
him on their All-Southern team.
Coach Neyland will tell you that
FoxX is the finest defensive back
he ever coached. And that he Is
the greatest man on a reverse in
football. FoXX is a great ball-haWk.
Few men in football can match his
record for pass interruptions and
opponents fumbleS recovered. And
can he work that reverse! Frank
Thomas, Alabama coach, told me
that until FoXx arrived on the scene
his team never had to worry about
the Tennessee reverse.
1T was just another play until
FoXX got in the backfield," Thomas
said. But once he became part of
1t, it became the finest scoring play
in southern football"
FoxX isn't just a football player,
either. He is the best student on
the squad and one of the best in
the entire university. He is q cinch
for Phi Beta Kappa, and will fin

My guess is that Foxx will be the
outstanding man on the field next
Monday. With Cafego out, and "Bao

The defeat is undoubtedly a turn
ing point IN Bigboy HogueS career
Fans and fight experts have long
wondered what effect a knockout
oefeat would have on one of the
twins.
On one hand it may be a benefit
to the twin. Should he become aware
that he doesn't know all there is
to learn about the fight game and
sets about to increase his knowledge
then he will have benefited by the
defeat.
On the other hand he may fall
way back because of the defeat.
Knockout losses have broken the
spirit of many promising young
fighters.
Confident
Before Tuesday nights knockout
Bigboy Hogue believed he could
beat any fighter alive at his weight.
As a result he was somewhat re-
luctant to accept advice on methods
to improve his style of fighting.
Now, if he is as alert, he will
profit by the defeat, accept advice
and may some day climb into the
ring to fight for the middleweight
championship of the world. He has
the strength, the courage and the
ruggedneSs to accomplish that feat.
What of Shorty Hogue?
Shorty has been defeated three
times as q Professional and was not
effected either way. He did not
attempt to improve his style and
he apparently was the same spirited
youngster in the ring.
Bigboy has been rated above
Shorty as a fighter in recent months,
but there are experts who believe
Shorty could develop into the better
CT the two. He is stronger, punches
harder and loves the mixing.
Nursing Bruised Hand
At the moment Shorty is nursing
a sore hand. He will be returning
TO the fistiC wars in a short while,
however, and upon his success or
failure in the return to action may
depend the future of the Hogue
twins as boxers.
II he is beaten by a fighter the
cailbre of Turkey Thompson. it may
finish the rise of the twins. If he
wins it will serve as a shot in the
arm for both youngsters to con-
tinue their climb up the fistic lad
der.

HARLAN, KY, May 1.-Sherid
Herbert C. Cawood said last night 90
men and 2 women were in Jail await
ing arraignment today on banding
and confederating" charges in the
"ducking" of nine persons in the
Cumberland River.
Sheriff Cawood identified the men
as members of the United Mine
Workers Union, whose representa-
tives are negotiating wage contract
in New York with Appalachian coal
operators. The men ducked, he said,
were non-union.
The men and women were arrested,
he said, on warrants obtained on
affiidavits of Joseph Barr, night
watchman for the Harcrow Coal
Mining Co. at Draper. Barr said he
was one of those ducked.
The prisoners are to be arraigned
before County Judge C. E. Ball.
Banding and confederating," an in
elusive charge, is similar to one OF
disorderly conduct in police court.

Taxes Criticized
By Business Reputed
To Be in Discard
Legislators Soy New
Plan Drops Profits Levy
Eases Income Rates
By thetAssociated Press

D, tbetAssociated Press.
Weli-informed legislators disclosed
today that the Treasury has drafted
q comprehensive four-point program
to eliminate taxes criticized as "busi-
ness deterrents."
The lawmakers outlined the pro-
gram as follows:
/. Elimination of the present un-
distributed profits, capital stock and
excess profits taxes. Substitution OF
q f1at-rate corporation income levy
Of not more than % per cent.
2. Reduction in higher bracket
personal income taxes from a max
imum of rs per cent to a maximum
Of so per cent.
3. Authorization for corporations
to carry over tax credits for losses
for three years instead of one.
4. Modification of the capital
gains tax in an effort to encourage
investment.
The legislators indicated President
Roosevelt had approved the entire
program except the proposed re-
duction in upper-level income taxes.
Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau probably will discuss that idea
with him before talking to the House
Ways and Means Committee next
week.
The suggested tax reduction would
not affect incomes under $4,000 a
year.
The Treasury experts hope the
program will result in no loss of
revenue. They have not yet de-
termined exactly what the flat-rate
tax on corporations should be, but
have set % per cent as top limit.
Corporations with income of less
than $25, 900 year would be given
special favorable treatment.
The present law levies flat-rate
taxes on corporations with incomes
of less than $25 900, and imposes a
tax ranging from 1872 to 10 per cent
on larger companies, depending on
the amount of profits turned over to
shareholders.
Proposed changes in the capital
gains tax would revise the present
schedule in such a way as to reduce
the burden on those proflting from
investment transactions.
To Speed Capital Flow.
Under present law, for example,
q man who buys securities and sells
them at profit in 10 months or less
has to pay the applicable income tax
rates on 100 per cent of his profit.
If the securities are sold after being
held between 18 and "a months, he
pays a tax on 662s per cent of his
profit and if they have been held
longer than "a months, he pays a
tax on so per cent of his profit.
The new schedule would be 100
per cent on profits from assets held
six months and less, with the per-
centage decreasing by graduated
