CAGE GAME GETS
UNDER WAY EARLY
Southern Conference COMPETE
ton Started, With Richmond
Win First On Slate

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-R-While
basketball doesn't have any bowl"
games to climax it's season, the court
game now offers a great array OF
major in~tersectional tits at the be-
ginning rather than at the end OF
tie campaign.
The new season is hardly under
way at this stage, but already such
major outfits as Oregon, Oregon
State, and Oklahoma A. and M. have
embarked on long tours, Georgia has
completed a mid-western jaVnt and
Southern California, U. C. L. A. Pitts
burgh' and Indiana, among others, hi
the long trail during the coming
week. u,
Most Of these tours, which come
to a climax during Christmas week
when there are no classes to inter.
fere, wind up either in the big dou'
ble-headers at New York and Phila-
delphia. or in the mid-western hot
beds Of basketball. They've done q
lot to increase interest in the game,
although they don't help much in de.
termining championship ratings.
That part must wait until the vari-
Gus league and conference races get
under way early in January.
Meanwhile the national picture be.
gins to look something like this:
Intersectional tours-Oregon, after
beating Oklahoma 1929 and Canisius
SOAP on the way, found Long Island
university too tough in the opening
~doubleheader at Madison Square Gar

over Texas at home, conquered q

team, 1924, on the same program
before a record Garden crowd of 49,
1926. This week Oregon meets Tenn
pie, Duquesne and Bradley. while the
Aggies play St. Josephs (Philadel-
phia) and George Washington before
returning home to entertain South
ern California.
South: Conference competition al
ready has begun in the Southern Con-
ference but the main part Of the sea-
son there serve only to qualify the
leading teams for the championship
tournament. In the opening game
last week, Richmond defeated Mary
land 1895. Clemson, which went
down 65-51 before the Georgia team
that had lost two Of three games to
Big Ten rivals, plays William and
Mary and Richmond this week. Duke
and Clemson both meet George
Washington, whose new Southern
Conference membership isn't effec-
tive this season.
Except for Georgia, only Kentucky
of the Southeastern Conference has
played often enough to show its
strength. The Wildcats beat West
Virginia and Maryville decisively.

CHAMP INSTALLED
AS 81 FAV0Rl Il !;
Match WillBe 18th For Negro
Title : Holder; Mccoy
Promises A Surprise

BOSTON,, Dec 15.-(R-Champion
Joe Louis will be engaging in his
18th heavyweight title bout when he
faces AL Mccoy in their 15-round
match at Boston Garden tomorrow
night but the jinx number is bother
ing him no more, than the Maine
born challenger.
Joe never does much worrying
about his battles and this case is no
exception, despite McCoy's repeated
assertions that he may have a sur
prise" for the champion and the OBJ
servations of fistic students that AL
is the type of fighter who can con-
fuse Louis.
The great majority of fans, who
are expected to pack the Garden for
the first heavyweight championship
fight in Boston history-and in New
England, too, for that matter-ara
stringing along with Joe and PLAN
ming to be on hand early, lest they
miss the whole show.
The title bout goes on at 10 p. m.
&c. S. To and will be broadcast from
coast to coast on the N. B. c. blue
network.
Both fighters loafed today after
winding up their serious prepare
lions yesterday, Louis with a boxing
drill and Mccoy with some roadwork
and a session in the gym. They meet
tomorrow for the first time at weigh
ing-in ceremonies.
Louis, as usual. is making no pre-
dictions about the outcome but it's
easy to see that the Brown Bomber
and his encourage figure on wasting
no time in this 18th defense of. his
title.
I'm ready" Louis said. "Any man
I get in the ring with can be danger
Gus, so I get ready for all of them"
Mccoy, who seems to be in the
best physical shape Of his career,
is somewhat vexed at the prevailing
opinion that he will be a quick vic
tim Of the champion.
I'm going to surprise a lot Of peo-
pie, If they think I'm going to fold
up quickly Mccoy said. Louis
may figure to win but I'll let him
know he's been in a battle" ,
Former Champ Jack Sharkey was
one who conceded Mccoy a chance
in the battle although Louis has been
installed a 81 ~favorite.
People are all wrong, If they think
this is going to be another sacri-
fice," the ex-gob declared. Don't
forget Mccoy has a style than can
confuse Louis. He has a pretty fair
punch, too-not as hard as Joe's. GER
tainly, but he can hurt"
Ray Arcel, who will be handling
Mccoy tomorrow night, also likes his
chances to give the champion a real
battle. Ray points out that Mccoy
is in better mental shape than seven
other fighters he prepped to oppose
Louis and that his boxing ability
should enable him to go the distance
with the Bomber.
