MINNEAPOLIS, March 1S.-CP-
Jack Dempsey, busy as a movie
star signing autographs for fans
who could find their way to his
hotel suite, gave his big right hand
a rest today and delivered two
opinions about the fight game:
1. Joe Louis is a good, game
fighter who boxes better than
many critics think and punches
like nobody's business But his
jaw is weak and eventually a
"puncher, a good, rough, tough
guy who can take a punch and
keep on punching himself" will
take away his heavyweight title.
2. Mike Jacobs (the New York
promoter) is running the fight
game and I don't mind being quot

In the Twin Cities to referee a
fight tonight, Dempsey analysed
Louis weakness against a good
punch" as about all that keeps
him from being a great fighter but

L. S. u. Backfield Coach Sue

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March IS
P'-The Vanderbilt university ath-
letic board announced tonight the
appointment of Henry (Red) San
ders as head football coach, sue
ceeding Ray Morrison who resigned
to accept a similar post at Temple
university, Philadelphia.
Sanders, an alumnus of Wander
bilt and present backfield coach at
Louisiana State university, was
understood to have been given a
three-year contract at $4,000 a
year. This, however, was not Off
cially announced.
Sanders, a quarterback at Van
derbilt on the 1~924-25-26 teams,
started his coaching career as an
assistant to Josh Cody at Glenn
son college in 1927. He moved to
Columbia Military Academy In 1881,
then to Riverside Military Acade-
my in 1884 and four years later
shifted to Florida, serving as head
freshman coach.
He joined the l.. S. U. staff in
the spring of 1889, handling the
backs and passing and punting.
The 34-year-old coach, a native
of Nashville, was a three-Ietter
man at Vandy and captained the
baseball team in his senior year.

NELSON FAV0RITE
IN ANNUAL MEET
Ceilings Big Names AT Pine
hurst For Meet; Heather
Among Entrants
By BILL BONI

PINEHURST, March 1S.-LP-
If anyone can be a favorite in
these days of high-powered compe-
tition, it will be Byron Nelson
when the $4,000 North and South
Open golf championship starts to-
morrow over Pinehurst's deserved
ly famous No. 2 course.
This is the tournament that
starts the pros down the winter
circuits 49, 900 home stretch. From
Pinehurst they go to Greensboro
and then to Asheville, winding up
at the Augusta (Ga.) Masters in
April with the last of three IS, 1000
tournaments.
Nelson stands No. 6 today in
the list of money won since the
first of the year. Top man is jim
my Demaret, but the Texan has
been called back to Houston by his
club members, and won't rejoin
the caravan until the Augusta
finale.
With the exception of Demaret
and Ralph Guldahl, though, this
North-South field boasts practical
ly all the available talent. Nine of
the first ten money-winners and
nine of the first ten men in the
Vardon trophy standing are in it,
which means that your pick will
be as good as the next mans when
it comes to naming the winner.
Nelson, one of the long line of
TeXas-born pros, took this 72-hole
test last year and used it as one
of the stepping stones to the Ma
tional Open title he captured at
Philadelphia. He has won only one
of the winters events, the Texas
Open, but usually has had the bad
luck to be a late finisher-a spot
which these days generally means
that you have to finish b%irdie-par-
birdie even to get a tie for first
money.
All the familiar names are here
Nelson, Craig Wood, Ben Hogan
Lawson Little, Sam Snead, who
can't drop puts for the life Of
him, jug McSpaden, Paul Runyan.
Dick Metz and Horton Smith. But
at least as interesting to watch
will be the performances of the
newcomers who have been getting
their names up high in the scor-
ing lists these last few months.
These are, primarily, Clayton
Heather, the Carolina Candy XII
who tied a U. S. Open record with
his third-round &c at Philadelphia A.;
Lloyd Mangrum,. fast outdistanc-
ing brother Ray, and Ed (Porky)
Oliver, the only man beside De-
maret who has won more than one
tournament since January 1.
AS usual, 1S-hole rounds will be
played tomorrow and Wednesday,
with the final So on Thursday.
