DETROIT, Sept. 16. Pugilism's
age-old question-can a boxer beat
a slugger?-comes up for decision
again here Wednesday night in what
promises to be Heavyweight Cham
pion Joe Louis last title defense for
a long, long time.
Louis, who has required a grand
total of only Is rounds to win his last
six title bouts, is paired with Bob
Pastor, the former New York Uni
yersity football player and one OF
seven men the Brown Bomber has
failed to knock out in 43 engage
ments The bout is scheduled for
20 rounds, the first heavyweight
title contest of this length to be
arranged since Jack Dempsey fiat
tened jess Willard at Toledo on
July 4, 1919.
Should Louis beat Pastor he prob
ably will be doomed to idleness Tor
some time to come because OF the
lack of challengers acceptable to the
Louis high command.

Mike Jacobs announced the return
Galento-Louis 60 for the title for
next June and then stepped smack
into completely unexpected
squawk from Galento's quiet little
manager, Joe Jacobs, who could
be heard whispering his protests
three blocks away. "Yussel," whose
seconds license in New York has
been revoked and who has been re-
fused a managers permit there,
vowed up and down Tony would not
fight Louis in New York. Uncle
Mike" insisted he would,
Mike pointed out later that he
holds five-year exclusive contract
to Two-Ton Tony's fistic activities.
The fuss wound up temporarily
after the two had argued in circle
for half an hour.
Nova in Hospital.
Heading West, the fight crowd
left behind the tall California kid
who didn't quite measure up to the
solid gold of his reputation as "the
golden boy" Battered and bruised,
he remained in a hospital, 10 stitches
in the right eye which Galento
opened to the bone when he held
target practice last night in Munich
pal Stadium.
Lou will remain in the hospital
for four or five days, his pilot, Ray
Carlen, explained. Then he will
return to the coast for rest of
three months or thereabouts before
thinking again of taking up the trail.

There was only one 'untoward"
incident during the match At the
short 18th. Billows' tee shot was on
the edge, with Ward over the car

past the cup, Billows coming up
to within two feet of the hole Ward
holed out and reached down into
the can for his ball.
He dropped it and in trying to
recover, got his fingers on Billows'
ball, partly lifting it. There was
some discussion by officials as to
whether Billows might claim the
hole. But under rule 33, which
DEGREES nothing may be taken from
player who has holed out, it was
set down as half in threes.
Wards game was highlighted by
his uncanny accuracy on the greens.
He had no three-putt green's but
got down in regulation two on 19
of the carpets and had one put on
an even dozen. Billows had eight
one-putters, 19 two-putters and
three-putted four times.
1t was Billows' second pop out"
in two tries at the amateur crown
within three years. In 1887 at

Colleges 10 Form
Links League
CoIonioIs and Terropins
Coming Into Picture
Along With Hoyos

College golf is largely a spring
affair. The boys play their golf in
the fall, but they don't have any
regularly organized series of team
matches.
Just now the college boys around
town have revived a subject they
talked about last spring-a round
robin golf affair among several of
the local colleges. With Maryland
and George Washington coming into
the links picture, even though they
are not ready yet to challenge
Georgetown's supremacy on the
links, it's time they started action
looking toward formation of a COL
lege loop next spring.
Georgetown in Saddle.
The Hoyas have turned out ex-
ceptional golf teams for more than
a dozen years, dating away back to
those good outfits which included
Maurice Mccarthy and Dick Wilson.
The teams of the last two years, with
Billy Shea, Billy Dettweiler and
John Burke, have been good ones,
although they haven't quite won
the Eastern college crown. But the
Hoyas have been the top college
team around town.
Maryland. with Julian Murphy,
Jim Brownell and George De Witt,
is ready now to move into good col
lege golf competition, and may do
so next spring George Washington,
with a team headed by Lafayette
Franklin, jr., doesn't seem as strong
as the other two, but still may do
all right.
It's time the rah-rah boys organ
lied their own golf loop and if they
did Georgetown wouldn't have the
romp they might expect.
Would Include Virginia Schools.
Duke, with what probably is the
best college golf team in the East,
isn't interested in coming North for
intensive competition among the
bigger colleges. But Duke, cham
pion of the Southeast, was good
enough to whip Georgetown by a
heavy margin. And Georgetown
was good enough to place second in
the Eastern college loop. That makes
Duke loom as one of the strong ones
and an outfit that would go strong
against any college team.
How about, for example, a college
loop consisting of Georgetown,
George Washington, Maryland, Vir-
ginia and William and Mary? All
these teams play spring golf
matches. but they haven't any rec
ognized circuit.
College golf is big stuff and it
should be bigger. For out of the
colleges come many national am
ateur champions.

The Pawn Sacrifice.

Morphy's genius was based on
cunningly laid schemes that neces-
STATED sacrifices calling for a bril-
liant insight into combination play.
DR.. Max Euwe, ex-world champion
discusses combination play in cur
rent issues of Chess. In September's
number he analyses the pawn sacgi-
flee and points out that an active
sacrifice is one where pawn Is
forced upon your opponent, for
example, in the gambits. A pas
sive sacrifice is one where your Op-
ponent is permitted to capture with
out resistance.
The learned doctor wisely
differentiates between chess as
played during the era Of Nor
phy and the modern trend.
Self-confidence and daring
characterized the Morphy
school.
Today science has crept into
chess to such an extent that daring
is replaced with caution and tech

tages. The modern player is pre-
else and he does not sacrifice either
pawn or piece unless he has a sound
build-up that will result in very
definite positional advantages.
When you sacrifice you should
keep in mind the Mosaic lava
queen for queen or a forced mate,
a bishop for a bishop or a knight
with superior positional strength, a
rock for rook or its equivalent IN
bishops and knights. OF course a
pawn seems so insignificant, but
you should hesitate before plunging
into the unknown labyrinth that so
often results from injudicious sac
rifice and loss of pawns.
You may sacrifice a pawn If its
capture by your opponent means
increased difficulties in flank and
center maneuvers.
You may sacrifice pawn II you
gain instant mobility for your su-
perior and more powerful men and
