Top Spot in School
Reform Program
Jones Puts Bon on Mass
Student Trips, Other
Huey Long Stunts
BY HARRIS JACKSON.
Associated Press 6ports Writer.

BATON ROUGE, La. July 25.-
The circuslike spectacle the late
Kingf1sh Huey Long made OF
Louisiana State football is taking
a back seat to book learning.
Newly elected Gov. Sam Houston
Jones has served notice that his
promised reforms must extend to
the university gridiron as we'll as
to State affairs. Football won't be
curtailed, he hastened to add, but
1t will be de- emphasized.
THE State university exists for
something other than putting out
winning football teams" he told the
new Board of Supervisors.
The supervisors knew already that
L. S. U. athletics had gone in the
red nearly 100000 last season-this
added to $l13, ,462 80 deficit for the
year before.
Luxuries Are Eliminated.
All OF this means, the authorities
made clear. that there won't be any
more cross country football excur-
sions for the student body at the
university's expense.
Neither will there be holidays
for every major football victory. nor
blocks OF free tickets for big-shot
politicians, nor trips in university
owned airplanes for football scouts.
These were some of the things
that Huey, first as Governor and
then as United States Senator, made
the great American sport mean at
L. S. U. before he was shot to death
at the State capitol.
The Kingflsh loved football and
the fanfare that went with it. He
loved to swagger up and down the
sidelines to order the coaches around
and to hear thousands Of students
roaring his name.
L. S. U. Called Country Club.
His lavish program got a lot Of
publicity. The university won two
Conference championships in a row
and landed Gaynell Tinsley, star
end, on the All-America team.
There were unfavorable reactions,
too. Critics called the university a
country club. A motion picture
satirized L. S. U. and Huey.
Academic noses often were raised at
the news from the school on the
banks of the Mississippi.
Things came to a sudden head
last summer, when DR.. James Mon
roe Smith, whom Huey made presi-
dent, resigned and fled the State.
He left behind public scandal that
spread until it unseated most of
the Kingf1sh's followers and sent
Reform Candidate Jones into office.

Jersey City fans, who have
watched with dismay as the Little
Giants plunged headlong from sec
ond to fifth place in the Interna-
tional League, are of happier mind
today.
After watching the Little Giants
sweep a double-header from the
Montreal Royals yesterday, to take
the series 4 games to 2, they are
satisfied that the club has pulled
out of the tailspin, which dropped
1t 13 games behind the league lead
ing Rochester Red Wings.
Hy Vandenberg and Roy Henshaw
co-starred in the twin-killing, and
their performances certainly gave
Jersey Citys followers good cause
for optimism.
The double victory kept the Little
Giants tied for fourth place with the
Baltimore Orioles, who took two
from Buffalo.
Second-place Newark gained full
game on the pace-setting Red
Wings. beating Toronto, TO, while
Rochester was losing, Sc, to Syra-

Anybody can act the part Of a

SEA BRIGHT, N. j., July 25.-
Tennis Coach Mercer Beasley likes
a fellow to look good making a

the shots the thing, and form
strictly is secondary.
That's one reason Beasley is will

Billy Soose, who graduated from COL
legiate ranks to the money division,
was a big step ahead today In his
quest for a middleweight champion
ship bout.
The former Penn State clouter
came through last night in a soaking
rain with a close 10-round decision
over Ken Overlin Of Washington,
D. C., recognized in some States as
the middleweight titleholder. It
was a non-title bout.
The 23-year-old son Of a Farrell,
Pa, steel worker won the vote of
the two judges, but the Referee
thought Overlin deserved an edge.
Soose weighed 1921; Overlin, 1853.
There were no knockdowns, al
though Overlin slipped to one knee
on the rain soaked canvas.
Setting a whirlwind pace, Overlin
took a substantial lead in the first
two rounds. In the third he ran into
a bruising right to the body and
Soose gained command. The Far
rell boy came on with a rush in the
last two rounds as Overlin tired
