DALLAS, Dec. 27.-The Clemson
Tigers 60 on public display today,
their only time before the Cotton
Bowl game. I'VE didn't come down
here for a vacation" heatedlv ex-
planned their veteran coach, Jess
Nicely.
Thirty three Tigers, or country
gentlemen as they prefer to be called,
arrived last night.
Nicely said they would train behind
locked gates at Southern Methodist
University until Monday, when they
clash with Boston College in q
game expected to attract 10000 fans.
Nicely, coaching his second bowl
team, said all his boys were in tip
top shape except Guards Frank
Deitz and Walter Cox and they
would be ready by game time.
"Well," he drawled when asked
his teams attitude, 1--WE didn't come
down here for a vacation" There
seemed to be some heat back of the
words.
He hastily added that he looked
for a hard game, "as wide open as
anything dished out in the hurly-
burly Southwest Conference
Along betting row Clemson rated
a slight favorite. 1t might have
been caused by report of illness in
the Boston squad Or it might have
been caused by a glimpse of such
fellows as McFadden and Shad

South American HEAVY
PIons Test Contest,
The Go With Nova
BY SID FEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-James
Joy Johnston won't unveil his new
South American heavyweight i'm
portation. Valentin Campolo, off,
cially until tonight at a dinner for
boxing writer's. Yet, with his GUS
tomary quiet and secrecy in such
matters, he already is shouting chal-
lenges at Joe Louis.
But that is not the most unusual
factor about the latest of the Argen-
tines to follow Luis Angel Firpo to
these golden shores. It seems
this Campolo, brother of Vittorio
Campolo, who campaigned here
abouts some half dozen years ago,
really thinks-which is a highly
priced commodity among heavy
weights.
Valentin displayed that little knack
almost as soon as he got of the
boat. Through an interpreter Che
speaks only Spanish and Italian)
he explained how he decided, all by
himself, that James Joy was the
man to manage him.
Five or six fight managers up
here" he related, they all wrote
letters wanting to bring me to New
York and manage me. But I re-
membered when my brother was
here, he fought fellow named Phil
Scott (yep, it was old Faintin' PhiD.
Scott was manged by Mr.. Johnston.
Now my brother, he's sure he beat
this Scott-but Scott got the de-
cision. Well, if being managed by
Mr.. Johnston could do that, he's the
man for me-
James Joy, who is becoming quite
a collector Of heavyweights these
days, what with Bob Pastor and Abe
Simon already in tow, is going to
start his latest off with gym work
right after the first of the year, and
probably give him tune-up fight
sometime in late January.
And after that" James Joy dis
closed in a whisper you could hear,
anyway, across Times Square, we're
going to send him against Lou Nova
I've talked with Promoter Mike
Jacobs about the batch, and he's
thinking it over. Then we'll be after
Louis"
Oddly enough, Valentin, who ar
rived boasting a record of 16 knock
outs in % fights, began his hstic
career in this country. He came to
the United States with Vittorio in
1882, and having no other way to
pass the time, decided to take a
crack at the ring. He did all right.

pointing a fourth.
Valentin is a good-size fellow
stands 6-3 and scales about 225. His
nose is bent slightly, and one ear
shows signs of wear and tear.
"Oh, those are decorations his
brother Vittorio gave him while he
was teaching him things" James
Joy hastened to explain.

A member of the Regina Vics
last year, the 165-pound Germann
seems to improve with each ap-
pearance and last night unraveled
one of his most impressive games,
twice scoring timely goals.
Courteau Knocked Out.
Mike staked the Eagles to a 10
lead midway in the first period, but
the Orioles rallied to grasp a 4-3
edge at the end of the second. Then,
in a hectic third period, Mike topped
his performance by taking a pass
from scrappy Paul Courteau, who
was knocked unconscious as he
skidded the puck to Germann and
Mike rifled the disk past Goalie
Omar Kelly to place the game be-
yond the Orioles reach.
A rough, bitterly fought battle,
the game was one of the fastest
of the season. Norm Calladine and
the Eagles Alan Kuntz clashed
briefly in the third period and both
were ordered to the penalty box for
two minutes.
Washington, barring an upset, will
take the league lead tomorrow night,
meeting the loWly Jersey Skeeters
at River Vale, N. J. A victory over
the Skeeters also would send the
Eagles into a tie with the Rovers IN
Hershey Cup play, based on the first

Princeton, which we're then planting

In those four years Michigan ran
up something better than 2,300
points against almost nothing.
Willie Heston alone scored over
100 touchdoWns. I mean against
strong teams from Wisconsin, Chi

In 1901 Stanford was the West

Michigan team a final workout in
six inches of snow, headed them
West, played II men under blazing
heat and beat Stanford, 40 to 0.
And Stanford could use all the
requirements she needed. 1t was
that sort of a Michigan team.

Yost, can play in snowstorm
