East-West Gridironers
Find Christmas Just
Day Of Drudgery
Drill Hard for New Year
Day Charity Game at
San francisco
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. IS
Christmas meant just another day
of practice for A of the country's
outstanding college football stars as
they swung into their last week Of
workouts and strategy sessions for
the Shrine East West charity game
January l.
The Eastern boys had their Christ
mas party last night, all receiving
wrist watches from the Shrine. The
Westerners open their packages to-
day.
East Doing Heavy Work.
A bruislng Scrlmmage was yeSter-
days order of business for the East,
which is getting down to contact
work with little time lost. The West,
not so far along in condition and
team development, likely won't risk
scrimmage until tomorrow.
Grin Hollingbery, co-coach Of the
West, had a surprise when he asked
that "All you guys who called plays
in school, step forward" Nobody
NClllul lOl vi. LAClO 4NCSdA UIlS ,
Denver fullback, admitted hesitant-
ly that he called play once, but
They never asked me to call an
other"
1T may be all for the best said
Hollingbery. "Quarterbacks trained
by some one else have fixed ideas
that sometimes don't fit our style
of play. 1 like to train them my
self"
Three Generals Picked.
The coach said that Leroy Zim-
norman of San Jose State, Ray
Hare of Gonzaga and Kay Eakin
of Arkansas would be drilled as sig
nal-cellers.
The East is well-stocked with field
generals Steve Sitko of Notre
Dame, Ben Kish of Pittsburgh and
John McLaughry of Brown all could
qualify.

Golento Almost Coshed In
On Lone-Shot Title Chance.

That was in January. BY June
Galento had been built up to a
point where. while nobody thought
he could beat Louis, everybody
admitted he had an outside chance
because of the power he could put
behind left hook
Right off the opening bell Tony
almost cashed in on the outside
chance. The first punch he threw
was left hook that hit Louis on
the right side of the head just above
the jaw line and the champion
staggered and almost went down
Then he moved in and tied up Ga
lent0-it was strange sight, Louis
clihrhing-and in a few seconds
he had shaken off the effects of
the punch and was beginning to
tear Galento apart.
In the second round he almost
knocked Tony out-and in the
third, as they snapped punches,
Tony nailed him, and this time he
did go down. But he was up at two
and went about destroying the
lIdlian. and in the fourth round
Arthur Donovan stopped the fight
as the battered, blood -drenched Ga
lento almost fell out of the ring
Pastor was next-in September
Pastor once had made Louis look
bad by eluding him in a 10-round
chase in the Garden ring. This time
Jimmy Johnston. his manager.
wanted the fight, scheduled for
Detroit. set for 20 rounds. Louis
managers--John Roxborough and
Julian Black-Were ready to please
as usual.
In the first round Pastor was box
ing nicely when Louis suddenly
dropped him. He got up quickly
and Louis dropped him again. -Four
times In the first round-and once
again in the second-Pastor was on
the deck. But he fought gamely on,
outboxing Louis or darting away
from him-and then suddenly being
hit with punch that shook him to
his heels.
When the tenth round ended with
Pastor still on his feet, there were
some at the ringside who thought
Bob might last the distance. And
then, in the eleventh round, Louis
knocked him out.
Pastor had a lot of stuff that
night-more than he ever before
carried into ring. But he couldn't
hit Louis hard enough to hurt him,
partly because so many of his
punches were thrown while he was
retreating. And he couldn't stand
up under Joe's heaviest blows.
So Louis, busiest of heavyweight
champions in the long roll and
roster Of the ring, tackled three
major engagements-plus one or
two minor skirmishes-to his record.

Conn Shared With Ambers
Some Of Years Interest.

Conn took tremendous strides as
he covered the 12-month span.
Little known outside of Pittsburgh
at the beginning of the year. he
twice beat Fred Apostoli-one of
the claimants Of the middleweight
championship-in overtime weight
fighters. Lewis, the light heavy
weight champion, went into retire
nent and Melio Bettina assembled
the throne, having beaten Tiger
Jack Fox in tussle for the vacated
title. Conn promptly challenged
Bettina and beat him. In return
match, he beat him by an even wider
margin.
Not only by his winning fights but
by his appearance and his ring style
he revived interest in the light
heavyweight class. Now another
pretender to the title-Gus Les
nevich-loomed. Conn took him on
and polished him Off Having re-
vived interest in the division, he
practically ruined the division. But
he remains, Of course, one Of the
best drawing cards in the ring.
Nobody, they say, ever beats Lou
Ambers twice. Henry Armstrong
couldn't do it, although he came
closer to it than anybody else. He
landed the greater number OF
punches, and. normally, would have
won. But at least five of his punches
landed below the belt and cost him
five rounds on fouls-and those
hve rounds were enough to give the
tight to Ambers.
There was some action among the
middleweights. AL Hostak, having
lost his stake In the championship
to Solly Krieger as 1898 faded, re-
gained it by beating Krieger.
Apostolic the other claimant to the
title. was knocked out by the
Filipino, Ceferino Garcia. Thus the
action, while important. was incon-
elusive, since there still are two
champions.

Rooseve|t-McNutt
Meeting on Security
Put Off 10 Tomorrow
Ways to Fill Obvious
Cops in System to
Be Discussed

By the Associated Press.
Press of other business brought a
one-day delay today to conference
between President Roosevelt and
Paul " McNutt, Federal Security
administrator, on further expansion
of the vast Federal-State social Sc
curity system.
President Roosevelt was busy
writing a speech and Mr.. McNutt
preparing to deliver one, so their
conference was postponed until to-
morrow.
Mr.. McNutt asked for the meet
ing In order to ascertain how far
the Chief Executive would be will
ing to 60 in filling what he called
obvious gaps" in the system.
The administrator would not say
what specific proposals he would
put forward because, he explained,
when we shoot we want to be sure
what We are shooting at"
But he expressed certainty that
they would not be anything like the
type Of pension proposals rejected
recently in California and Ohio.
I'VE are interested in having a
sound program we can pay for" he
said.
Mr.. McNuttt's recent utteraaces
indicated his suggestions to the
President included
l. A national health program,
along with a plan for disability IN
surance for workers to supplement
the existing unemployment insur-
ance system. Mr.. Roosevelt rec
commended such a program early
this year. and Senator Wagner,
Democrat, of New York has pending
a bill to carry it out
2. More adequate aid for the
needy aged. with particular empha-
Sis on how to correct inequalities
between the wealthier States and
the poorer ones.
3. Iberalizing unemployment in
surance benefits, which Mr.. Nc
Mutt believes now are uneven and
in many cases too small"
4. Possible further changes in the
system Of old-age insurance under
which employers and workers each
contribute per cent of an en-
ploye's annual pay up to 5000.
Old-age insurance is distinct from
the old-age assistance program un-
der which the Federal Government
pays half of each States contribu-
ton to needy persons over 65 up to
a total Of $40 a month.

-Four Go on Trial
As Robbers Of Bank
Here in 1882
Jury Is Chosen
And Evidence Ordered
Over Defense Protests

Despite requests Of defense coun-
sci for postponement Justice Pey-
ton Gordon today began the trial
of four men accused of bank rob-
berry on June 10, 1892, of $9,02l from
the branch of the old Washington
Mechanics Savings Bank, 1908 Geor-
gia avenue NV. The four men are
Barney Neuf1eld, James Foley, JOS
eph Flynn and Samuel Rubin.
Prosecuting the case in District
Court is Assistant United States At
torney William S. Tarver, who said
chat he would produce eight Gov
ernment witnesses in an effort TO
prove the four men guilty. A jury
was selected this morning.
Mr.. Tarver told the jury that about
II 80 am. on June 10, 1882, the rob-
bers went In the bank while one
stood guard; that there were no Gus
toners present and that two of the
intruders leaped over the counter
with drawn guns and forced the en-
ployes in a back room and made
them lie on the floor.
The Government said there we're
five men involved and that one of
them, Spencer Walden, has pleaded
guilty to the robbery and is now do
Ing Is years In Alcatraz Prison. Ac-
cording to the authorities here, Wal
den was implicated in other bank
holdups at Eighth and G streets
Sc. and at the East Capitol street
branches of the Washington Me-
chanics' Savings Bank and was
given five years on each of the three
cases. in which he pleaded guilty.
The Government contends that
Neufleld, Rubin and Foley got 10

the fact that more than 7 years have
elapsed since the time of the robbery

MED that it had monopoly on the

it was the only organization operat-
