JENKINS-LELLO
TITLE CONTEST
WAS FORGOTTEN
Foul Fighter Loses $500
OF $1,000 Purse For
ziviC Bout
BY JACK CUDDY

United Press StafH Correspondent
New York, Nov. 20-(UP)-When
the boxing commission tossed most
Of the book" at Al Dummy Davis,
an important secret leaked out:
There1l be a lightweight champion
ship fight at Madison Square Gar
den Friday night.
It's doubtful If Metropolitan fans
would have learned of this title
tilt until after 1t was held, were it
not for yesterdays commission
meeting at which young Davis was
fined $500 and had his license to
fight revoked.
Two mystery men appeared at
this meeting where the sock solons
were Furnishing Davis for repeated
low blows against welterweight
champion Fritizie Zivic last Friday
night. These mysterious individuals
started undressing. A puzzled re-
porter inquired, whats this a
strip tease?"
Promoter Mike Jacobs, clacked his
store teeth in wrath, and snarled:
These men are Lew jenkins of
Texas and Pete Lello of Gary, Ind.
Jenkins happens to be lightweight
champion of the world. Lello is
challenging him. They fight Is
rounds for the title at the Garden
Friday night. They are now strip
ping for physical hceck-up. If the
commission wants to take away my
promoters license for revealing
these facts, let it go ahead.
No Good For "Gate"
Uncle Mike was very angry at
the commission. He failed complete
ly to see any publicity benefits for
the Jenkins-Lello fight accruing
from yesterdays meeting. He fig
ured, instead, that the penalizing of
Davis on Tuesday would just about
ruin the gate. 1t would flood the
papers with blurbs about Davis, yes
terday and today, just when his
belated staem-up for Jenkins and
Lelol should get under way. Accord
ignly he had asked the commission
to postpone Furnishing Davis until
Frida, when 1t could be made part
Of a double-header with the weigh
in for the fight. But the commission
refused.
Uncle Mike said it was a helluva
note when the commission wouldn't
cooperate with a promoter 'tin bad
week like this" Everything was con-
spring against the fight build-up.
Mondays papers were damned with
the Cornell Dartmouth fifth =
down" score change. Some Of the
papers odn't publish tomorrow be-
cause it's Thanksgiving, and Friday
will bring the usual deluge Of foot
ball advances. Jacobs concluded,
Looks like the fight1 lbe held in
private"
Uncle Mike assured us that he
does not favor holding title fights
in private.

Vicious Running

One of the more entertaining

clubs in the country.

football like a baseball. Receivers
button hook back to make catches,
then run diagonally across the field
to .elude the secondary. Russell
throws the f1oater variety, and the
boys pick the ball out of the air on
dead run.
Frank Kimbrough, coaching
brother Of All-American John and
Jack of Texas A. & NJ, has de-
veloped one of the slickest passing
attacks ever witnessed. Pass protec-
ton Is iron-clad. Receivers are ex-
ceptionally clever at maneuvering
into the open and they hardly know
what 1t means to drop the ball.
Hardin Simmons can smash, too.

Frank Leahy Of Be-.
Selected AS
Coach Of The Week
BY HENRY SUPER

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Nov. 20.-(UP)-He
stepped into one of footballs shot
spots" at the start of the 1899 sea-
son but since then his team has
lost only two games and become one
of the most discussed elevenS of
1910. The United Press dominates
as it's coach of the week
Frank William Leahy of Boston
College.
All season his eleven had been
bowling over its opponents with APP
parent ease. Among the victims was
Tulane, rated one of the nations
power-house elevens before the sea-
son started. But Boston College
licked Tulane 27-7 and the Green
Wave hasn't been the same since.
Seven times Boston College went
to the wars and came back victori-
ous-but Leahy refused to put the
stamp of greatness on his club. Last
week, however. it met unbeaten and
united Georgetown. The final score
was: Boston College 10, George
town 10.
Leahy finally admitted he had a
great club-but was quick to warn
that it still has two tough games
left, Auburn and Holy Cross. If B.
c. wins those two, then 1t is certain
to get a bid for a New Years Bowl
game.
In Hiding
Leahy Is a modest fellow who has
been one Of the great football
teachers for years-only the world
never heard of him. He was star
athlete at Winner H. S. in South
Dakota; played tackle at Notre
Dame under Knute Rockne and was
on the Irish national championship
team. Of 1929. He served as an as
sistant coach at Georgetown in 1881
and under Jimmy Crowley at Mich
igan State In 1882.
When Crowley went to ,Fordham
in 1888, Leahy packed his bags and
went along. You never heard much
of Leahy while he was at Fordham.
But remember the famous Seven
Blocks of Granite?" Leahy, as line
coach, helped mold that terrific
line.
Leahy stepped into Boston and
mad good.
He has the highest-scoring team
In the nation and the best compli-
lnent that can be paid to him is
that many professional scouts have
said the team could be lifted bodily
from collegiate ranks and do pref
ty well in the pay-for-play game.
Leahy, who is only 80, spends the
off-seaSon as travelling promo
tional man for q rubber company
and as coaching school lecturer.
He hasn't had a vacation in six
years but says he will take one af-
ter this season. His hobby is golf
but he doesn't get in much prac-
tice.
