BOSTON COLLEGE

Newton, Mass., October IT. - (UP) = Boston College, preparing for an intersectional clash with Idaho Saturday, slackened it's prac- tice pace today after a rugged intra- squad scrimmage. Coach Frank Leahy who refused to treat Idaho as a setup despite its poor record still was unimpressed by the work of his undefeated Eagles in yesterdays session. Leahy admitted, however, that fu1lback, Mike Hoioyak, and Adolf Kissell had shown plenty of drive in their line plunging. All the regulars worked with the excep- tion of end, Gene Goodreault, and quarterback, Henry Toczylowski.

Coming Year
Headache to
Ring Industry
By ROBERT McSHANE

ROX1NG, Like world peace and the
- st. Louis Browns, is in q bad
way as it pulls itself together and
starts in q new year.
1t survived many first class beat
ing during 1899, but is merely hold
ing its own at present. Recovery
is slow, painful process, skillfully
hindered by many Of the men who
should be nursing it carefully dur
ing the period Of regeneration.
The truly alarming state Of affairs
is evidenced by the fact that Tony
GalentO. the battling barkeep, again
was ranked No. / challenger for Joe
Louis crown. A glance ut the list
il discouraging. Bob Pastor Is
ranked rs No. 2, followed by Lou
Nova, Tommy Farr, and your old
friend, Make Baer.
Not that these boys didn't de-
serve their ranking. They did. The
discouraging part is that no better
fighters have appeared on the scene
to replace them.
The old year limped out with q
juicy ring scandal still unsettled
a fitting farewell to a year which
saw few favorable developments.
The Harry Thomas fixed fight case
still remains on the books to haunt

One Title Rule

That was as it should be. No fight.
er should be allowed to hold more
than one crown. II Armstrong
was the logical welterweight cham
pion then it was unfair to the top
ranking contenders in the two other
weight divisions for him to be their
king.
Boxing must put its house In or
der to regain the confidence and con-
tinue the patronage Of fans. It is
inconceivable that the public will
continue to support the kind Of .
program to which it has been sub
jected for the past year. Second
rate fighters participating In ques-
tionabIe matches have done much
TO drag boxing into the gutter.
There is a brighter side. Fighters
like Joe Louis, Billy Conn and q
very few more always do their best,
regardless of their opposition. But
they are in the minority.
The housekeeping must come
soon and it will require the com.
bined efforts Of fighters, managers,
promoters and ring officials to dc
a thorough job.
And anything less than q thorough
lob win be insufficient.

The main fault goes back to the
colleges and the universities. The
directing people are the ones who
have turned football into a billion
dollar industry. They are the ones
who have stood back of all the bowls
and stadia. They are the respon-
sible people. 1t is something border
ing on crime to start blaming the
coaches. q

Immediately. Blame should have
been fixed and punishment melted
out while the story was ''hot." Then
boxing fans would know that officials
were doing their partsto keep the
game at high plane.
Memory fingers
Instead, y dark brown memory
fingers in the minds of those inter-
ested in the sport. The investiga-
ton has been kicked around so long
that it's little more than . joke.
Details Of the scandal are largely
forgotten, but the subconscious
memory of another rotten deal lives
on.
Boxing promoters have helped
themselves into their present predic-
ament. They have arranged and
built up matches which were mere
ly second rate exhibitions.
1t is true that these fights have
been widely patronized. But q
starving man doesn't demand caviar.
The boxing enthusiast is interest
ed in his sport. He wants to see
good men pitted against each 9TH
err, not a ham-and-egger or a has
been matched against o big name.
Promoters should, and sooner or lat
er must, realize that their custom
ers know a great deal about the
game. Even the less ring-wise can
recognize poorly matched fight.
Edward c. Foster, National Box
ing association secretary, is none
too enthusiastic at the beginning of
the new year. However, he is heart
lily endorsed in his statement that
at least one beneficial step has been
taken. The two-title and three-title
champions have been eliminated
for good.
II will be remembered that Ham,
merin' Henry Armstrong, during
1899, held three titles at one time.
He was featherweight, lightweight,
and welterweight champion, Of the
world. He relinquished his feather
weight title, lost his lightweight title
to Lou Ambers, and retains his
welterweight championship.

Who run our colleges and univer-
stiles? Presidents and boards Of
trustees-or the football coaches and
athletic directors? Most Of the
schedules today are money sched-
ules. Why? Because too many uni
versities have built up expensive
plants that must be payed for.
Who pays for all this? The foot
ball playersl The football players
and the coaches.
Teams are given schedules they
have no chance to handle on even
terms.

''Pll give you one answer that will
help some" "a prominent athletic di-
rector said. Pass rule that no
team can play over two men who
live over 300 miles away from the
university they play for. Don't think
we get fooled when we see teams
with eight or ten players on The
squad who come from 300 to 1900
miles away. And there are plenty
of these"
l still think the main answer has
to be on the scholastic or scholar
ship side. This is where the final
segregating will take place.
