BOOSTING 6-pLAYER
 GRID TEAM
Coach Frank Cheney De. (Iares Game Will Be
 Better for Fans
By JERRY T. BAULCH AP Feature Service

JACKSON, Tenn, Oct. 17.-Six- man football Coach Frank Cheney of Lambuth College believes, is the salvation of colleges that find themselves unable to meet the high-pressure upkeep of the eleven man game.
 Besides he adds, its faster, there are fewer dangers of injuries, it's more of an open game and every position offers a chance for a boy to star"
 Six-man football, Cheney con- tends, gives Mir John Q. Fan a much-needed break. With so few players on the field, the spectator doesn't get lost in the confusion and pile-ups of intricate 11-man plays
 But there's no place for sissies on these abbreviated squads. Coach Cheney teaches his boys to block hard and make their tackles stick.
 More Individual Responsibility
 "A man knows that if he misses there's usually no one to back him up" he adds. With so few men there's no such thing as double blocking or decoys.
 "The six man game places much more individual responsi- bility on all positions than H. man football. There's seldom any

FIGHT CARD FOR 0(T.26
 IS MADE Up
Interest Seemingly Cenfers in Ten Rounder, Tram
 bitds vs. Murphy

In his campaign that he hopes will lead him to a chance to lift the All-Alaska welterweight crown from the brow of Billy McCann, Larry Trambitas is fast rounding into shape with his fight with Eddie Murphy, scheduled for the A. B. Rink next week, Saturday. October 26. The two men will go 10 rounds in the first promotion under Slug ger Weaver in several weeks.
 Announcement of further inter- est to fight fans is given out today to The Empire that an additional preliminary fight will be pulled off, and to further create interest the fight will show a new face in the form of Charles Broulette, brother of Hank Broulette, the rough and rugged slugger, who has been pol ishing off the boys in recent fights.
 Charles will tangle with John Jackson in his first scrap, reports Weaver. This fight, which will in- crease the tctal rounds to 30 for the evenings program, looks to be whizzer as both boys throw a mean fist.
 Weaver announced to The Elm pire today that tickets are now on sale at the following places: Bill the Barber on Willoughby Avenue, the Baranof Cigar Stand, Imperial Pool Hall, and the Brunswick Bowl ing Alleys.
 Interest in Fight
 The increasing interest in the Murphy -Trambitas affair is evident in the daily discussion among fans in Juneau Trambitas has come long way since his beginning in the fight game in Juneau, but he has to convince good many fans yet that he has the ability to take Welter King McCann.
 Murphy is claimed to be in the pest shape since his clever fight with McCann some months back. Doctors report him ok. and from the excellent workouts he is turning n at the training gym, he will give Trambitas some hard work before the evenings battle is over.
 Murphy will tip the scales at 146 pounds, one pound under the we lter limit, which will be a decided weight advantage over Trsmbitas who will weigh in at not more than l42 pounds.
 Mna Others on Card
 The supporting card will be no less stellar than the previous slug fests Weaver has given Juneau fans
 In the semi final Austin Brown, the boy who lost close decision | b Trambitas at the Elks Club scrap last month will take on Joe Krisko |

doubt about who should get the thanks or the blame on any play.
 Testifying to Cheneys success with six-man football is Lam- buth's 1889 record of winning ell six of it's games and scoring 192 points to opponents six.
 Cheney estimates six-man foot ball costs only half as much as 11-man football. The big savings are in equipment and travel ex- penses.
 For schools where material is scarce. the six man game an- swers the problem.
 Disputing the general belief that 1t is purely a passing game, Cheney says most of Lambuth's points were scored on running plays.
 Game Is Wider Open
 Six-man football is different from the parent game in a few essentials. The field is 20 yards shorter, Is yards instead of 10 must be made in four dowps and kicking for points pays double dividends Both touchdown and field goal count six points. On the point after touchdown, kick counts two points and scoring on a run or pass but one.
 One rule makes six-man foot ball essentially passing game. Before a player is allowed to run with the ball it must be passed, either laterally or forward. The ball may be thrown anywhere be- hind the line of scrimmage. All players are eligible to receive passes.
 On the team are two ends, a center and three backs.

 be weighed and ruled on by your local board. AS a farmer, or for that matter a worker in any other field, even one more closely con- nected with defense. you are not exempt. The question in your case would be one of degree and that is a matter for your local board to decide. If you or your parents feel that you have been dealt with unfairly, you have the right of appeal to your appeal board and even beyond that.
 Q. If I am taking part-time
 college courses, will ! be exempt
 until after the close of the
 1910-41 school year?
 A. Only if you are working to- wards a degree in a college or university accredited to give those courses toward an arts and science degree. Here again is a matter which must be placed before your local board and it will rest with it as to whether you are sincerely working toward a degree or merely taking part-time courses to evade your responsibilities under the se- lective service act It is almost impossible to explain how great is the responsibility of a registraut to his local board and be responsi- bility of a local board toward registrant. There are thousand of problems, with thousands of shadings which the board must decide, but If selcctee feels that he has been unjustly treated, he always has the right of appeal and that appeal eventually will reach the President of the United States, if man cares to carry it that far.
