ANG0TT TAKES
TITLE IN Is
By JACK CTDDY

NEW YORK. Dec 20 CUP,.
Sammy AuRott :, dark haired, bull
shou!derrd Italian from washing
ton. Pa, was undisputed king OF
the lightWcightS today and hoped
TO revive the glorious days of Benny
Leonard, Tony CanZoneH and the
other great l35-pound champions
of the past.
AngOtt, recognized as lightweight
king by the National Boxing assO-
citation. took a unanimous 15-rOund
decision last night from Lew Jen
kns. scraWny, holloW-eyed Texan
who was the New York State Athlet-
ic con missions champion.
A crowd of 1l.343 paid S26,8lO to
see the last title bout of the year
in Madison Square Garden, and
most of them left the big arena
booing jenkins because of his pa
thetiC showing. Angott, constantly
the a2greSsor, won every round eX-
cept two on the United Press score
board, losing one on a low blow. The
slam bang Pennsylvania made 4
punching bag of jenkins and pro-
Vided all the thrills with his total
offenSe.
1T was the easiest fight l ever
had, Angott said, and I think I
might have kayoed him if my cor
ner hadn't constantly cautioned me
to watch out for jenkins dangerous
punch"
AngOtt's ascension to the light
weight throne marked the third N.
B. A. champion to whip New York
state titleholder this year, thus clar-
flying all but one title wrangel-in
the featherweight division where
Chaky Wright and Pittsburgh Jack
Wi son have rival claims The two
N.B,A. champions who triumphed
over New York claimants were Gus
LeSnevich of the light-heavyweights
and Tony Zale of the middleWeights.
jenkins, who, despite his feeble
effort, showed improvement over
his two previous appearances in
the Garden, hopes to obtain a re-
turn match but he isn't likely to get
another shot in the Garden unless
he can stage an impressive come
back campaign elsewhere. The fans,
who remember jenkins as a "little
Dempsey" in the days when he blast
ed the lightweight diadem off Lou
Ambers brow in May, 1910, have
sourCd on him because Of his num-
erous dismal appearances as a So
called. champion.

to abandon travel plans came
through.
GAMES CANCELLED
In all probability, games with the

sequenty an order binding on one

This does not mean that the

force cancellation of the two games
away from home Brown will still
pla% the game planned for Central
gymnasium, that is unless officials

NEW HURLER ADDED
In a practice game with the ORTIZ

McClong, southpaW chucker, at the

 The principal on which the gaug- es work is fool proof" according to Codd. It's simply matter of weighing the amount of calcium chloride and oil put into the gauge then weighing the amount of liquid drained out of the gauge, then sub- tracting the weights and comput- ing the inches of precipitation rep resented.
 One stickler when the big Alas kan gauges were built was in this weighing process. In the states, the small storage can is merely lifted from the gauge and weighed, but it wasn't very practical to ex- pect observers to lug a scale large enough to give accurate weight on Ia 55-gallon barrel of liquid clear up to the summit of Mount Ro- berts. Nor was it feasible to leave scale of this proportion perman- ently at the top of the mountain and expect its weighing apparatus to accurately compute weights after months of exposure to the ele- mentS.
 By Installments
 So Codd built draining cock in the bottom of each storage tank. Then he equipped each tank with length of garden hose. The idea is that the liquid is to be drained out of the tank in installments, placed in smaller can end weighed, each installment separ- ately.
 The gauges were first used in Utah and Yellowstone National Park in 1887. Since then they have become popular throughout the mountainous sections of western states. Precipitation. data obtained through their use has been valu- able in determining the amount of water available from snow in the mountains which would he ready for use in irrigation projects and for the generation of hydro electric power. s
