A return match between the Gold

the rassling card Thursday night
at the Arena.
Last Thursday the Terror won in
81 minutes, using kick to dispose
of the Chief. 1t was to get revenge
for this kick that the Indian asked
to be given just one more chance at
his opponent. He stipulated at the
time, however, that he wanted to
fight just one man at time. Last
week he had to put up with the
Terror's trainer-manager-second.
This second individual, dressed
and masked like the Terror although
lacking some of his 800 pounds.
made things difficult for the Chief,
running around outside the ring and
occasionally reaching in to aid his
rassler. On one occasion things got
so rough that Chewacki stepped out
of the ring to exchange blows with
the manager.
In spite of the Chiefs complaints,
however, the Terror has not prom
ised to keep his manager away, but
that little difficulty is expected to
be ironed out this week.

Joe Turner is making this one cut

were dethroned by Duke in the in

North Cardinals Tar Heels took

Ten other circuit members were

Dukes performance on the grid

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Amateur
and professional tennis will patch
up some differences In Madison
Square Garden tomorrow night
when Don Bulge, rated the best
amateur player in the world for
the last two years, makes his pro
debut against another Californian,
Ellsworth Vines.
For the first time since the stars
began deserting the amateur ranks
to play for cash, there was no out
cry when Don followed suit this
winter. Some wondered why he
hadn't done it sooner, and almost
everybody agreed he had repaid
anything he owed the amateur rul-
ers when he stuck with them long
enough to complete last years
grand slam" of the worlds four
major titles and to keep the Davis
Cup in the United States.
Has Blessing of Net Body.
Bulge turned pro with the bless
ing of the United States Lawn Ten
mis- Association, and just to prove
it, a full staff of officials from
the Tennis Umpires' Association,
headed by Benjamin H. Dwight, the
chairman, will direct the matches.
Practically all the U. S. L. T. A. off,
cials will be among the spectators.
1t is expected to be quite an impress
sive display of good will, and it may
mean that eventually the pro game
will be granted recognition equal to
amateur tennis.
While Budge's debut isn't attract
ing much more attention than some
of his earlier denials that he intended
to turn pro, record crowd for pro-
fessional tennis is expected. A ca
pacity crowd of 1900 will contrib
ute about $4,000 to the $4,000
Bulge has been guaranteed for his
first season. Promoter Jack Harris
says the advance sale is the biggest
on record and the only reason why
the gate won't be a new high Is
that tickets were priced higher for
the Vines-Fred Perry opener two
years ago.
Excel in Different Ways.
AS to the supremacy between the
two. that can't be settled for a time.
Opinion is widely divided. It is con-
ceded Vines has the best torehand
in tennis and Bulge the best back
hand. ELY turned pro in 1888 when
Don was just beginning to reach
the top flight. so they never settled
1t as amateurs And in their last

Six Suggestions Made
By Coaches Will Be
Given Attention
BY the Associated Press.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Jan.
2-As bowl games from California
to Florida hustled one football sea-
son toward the final curtain, grid
lawyers" with their eyes on the
next campaign, trooped into hud-
die here today.
They will come out of it probably
Wednesday morning to disclose what
changes, if any. IN the code have
been passed by the Rules Committee
of the National Collegiate Athletic
Association.
Chairman Walter R. Okeson of
Lehigh University called the COM
mittee into executive session at pic
turesque Broadmoor, close under
the mountains around Pixies Peak,
five days after the American Foot
ball Coaches Association adopted
six recommendations to be passed
on to the rules body.
No Drastic Change Seen.
The coaches may make any sug-
gestions they wish, but the only
changes ordered in the regulations
governing thousands of collegiate
football players are those approved
by Chairman Okeson and his eight
man committee representing all Sec
tions of the country.
Reports persisted today no dras-
tic editing of the rules will be made
despite agitation during the last
season over the point after touch
down. elimination of the five-yards-
behind-theline rule for pass throw
ers and placing of the ball in the
center of the field after an out-of-
bounds play.
Equipment in Backs.
If the committee goes no further
IN rewriting the code than the
coaches did in their recommended
tions, the changes will be of minor
nature. dealing with passes striking
ineligible players and easing up of
penalties against the kicking team
in the event of a violation of a punt
play. =.
1t seemed probable the commit
tee would devote considerable at
tention to the reduction of injuries
resulting from collisions between a
players features and an opponents
cleats, headguard or shoulder pads.
The coaches urged the commit
tee to give this point earnest con-
sideration.
