CHILEAN SKI STUDENT
 HAD BAD ACCIDENT

North Conway, N. H., Feb. 4. .(UP) -Dr. Harold Shedd said today that Julio Zegers, 22-year- old University of Santiago student and member of the touring Chilean ski team who broke both legs in skiing accident, probably will have to undergo an operation within a week.
 One leg was broken above the knee and should heal quickly, Dr. Shedd said, but the other break was more complicated and probably will require an operation.
 Zegers was injured yesterday when he failed to swing an icy curve on Cranmore mountain and plunged into tree while drilling with other team members including his brother Jaime under Toni Matt, Austrian instructor. The Chileans, adept at skiing on wide-open terrin, have had difficulty with New England's winding, hard-packed trails.
 The Chileans will continue their tour at Zeger's own request. Luis Oucho) Mitrovich. who joined the team in this country, will replace Zegers.

From every indication, the bruis- ing battle of gloves that Irish Eddie Dolan and Carl Dell of New York put up ten days ago in Bucking- ham Hall will be as nothing com- pared to the expected explosion of rights and lefts when Dell and his Negro nemesis, Ernie Cat Robin son of Jamaica, Long Island, get to- gether Thursday night of this week for the Waterbury A. c.
 Met Before.
 That there is ample reason to be- lieve that Dell and Robinson will furnish the indoor slambango of the season brooks no doubt. for the pair have already met twice in Hartford and New Britain and those who saw one or both fights will tell you that they would have walked more than a mile to be on hand. Robinson won the Hartford brawl while Dell got the nod in New Britain and there also have been reports that they met in an eight round duel that wound up all even after great deal of Slugging
 Robinson was beaten at Madison Square Garden last Friday on the Louis-Burman card by Holman Williams of Chicago, one of the best ten welterweights in the country. Dell lost to Dolan, and, in view of the previous Robinson results another match was a ring natural of the first order. The winner may get another chance with Eddie De- Ian. Robinson, in particular, wants the Dolan bout and he can have 1t If he beats Dell impressively which he could not do at New Britain.

 The remainder of the card as completed follows:
 Hubby Noble, the little round man from Wilkes-Barre, Pa, who had the fans rolling in the aisles with laughter on the last card when lie fought" Tony Gillo, is paired with Dula Kovach of Naugatuck, who is sure to have his hands full. after a long layoff, taking care of the most unorthodox Noble who swings from the heels, side, top and corners ard when he misses, the air charge would blow the hat of a bronze statue.

by as fine a catcher as there is in the game. There are other com- plainants.
 All the boys will be on hand at the kickoff, however.
 There have only been three real holdouts in the long history of base ball-Turkey Mike Donlin, Johnny Kling and Eddie Roush.
 Each stayed out a season, but Donlin was & theatrical attraction with his clever wife, Mabel Hite; Kling had a payball billiard em- porium in Kansas City htat netted him $70,000 a year, and Roush was successful farmer.
 Most ball players, while artists at their trade, are quite helpless out of it.
 And when an owner bows his head, there is nothing for the noble athlete to do but sign on the dotted line and go to work.
 It's a tough life, but as Tim Hurst remarked: Think of the hours.

Archibald Counted Out On One Knee

Providence. R. l., Feb. 4. (UP)- Larry Bolvin, promising Providence youth, had advanced his claim te world featherweight championship bout today by scoring a tour-rourd knockout over Joey Archibald of Pewtucket former titlist.
 The hard-punching Bolvin, taking the offense from the start, dropped Archibald for a nine-count with 8 barrage of blows in the first round of last nights scheduled 10-round bout. He had the former champion in trouble again in the second round and finished him in TAO of the fourth With a smashing right to the jaw.
 Archibald took the count of 10 on one knee, and both he and Manager Al Weill protested Referee Tim Ferrick's decision. Ferrick ruled that man must be on his feet before the count of TO-"

Baseball is some sort of 8 release for the patrons. It suffered less than any other business during the peak of the depression and recession.

 A holdout seeking-say $10,000- becomes more violent when he reads about owners tossing 30 G's around like it was hay.
 John R. Mize has reached the point where he is having St. Louis trouble.
 Johnny Mize demands that the Cardinals pay him $18,00O, a $2,000 increase, for leading both majors in home with 43 and the National league in total bases with 368. MIGHTY MIZE COULD
 GET IN ELSEWHERE
 A swatter like Mize would get $18000 and then some :. were he with one of the more affiuent organizations-the Yankees, Dodgers, Tigers, Cubs or Red SoX, but, as Sam Breadon and Branch Hickey point out, the Tanks, Dod- gers and Tigers each played to around a million people at home whereas the Red Birds in finishing third enticed no more than 320,000 through the turnstiles.
 Breadon had to peddle Joe Med wick, Arnold Owen, Bob Bowman and Joe Orengo to balance the budget.
 The same thing is true in the case of Rip Radcliff, who insists that he paid in production to a 342 batting average. The Browns have lost $375 900 since the current owners took over four years ago.
 Mickey Owen figures that he should be paid at least $10,00O by Brooklyn for escaping from the Cardinals ard St. Louis.
 Schnozzle Lombardi asks Cincin- natl to restore the $6,000 he was cut for the siesta at the plate which brought the 1889 world series to a close. Eddie Joost believes his elevation to the regular shortstop- ping job by the Reds entities him to more than a $2,0O0 boost.

BOSTON, March 15.-Dennts Ed
ward Myers took over Boston College
football today and promptly proceed
ed to scoff at a generally held belief
that the national gridiron game was
based on a pair of opposing systems
conceived by the immortal Knute
Rockne and Glenn Pop" Warner.
The big and slightly balding coach,
who is taking over the Eagle reins
from Frank Leahy-recalled to his
Notre Dame alma materials a big
Job ahead, but his biggest hurdle is
surmounted by his mere willingness
to give the task the old collegiate try.
Denny" has ideas and not the
least of them is that football
Warner or Rockne-still Is the IL
man autumn game.
You'd be surprised" he says,
@11ow little difference there will be
between what Boston College did
last year and what they'll do now"
The Eagles, unpeaten In a 10
game schedule and conquerors OF
Tennessee in the New Orleans Sugar
Bowl, were considered the ne plus
ultra of the Notre Dame system un-
der the stage management of the
astute Leahy.
Myers, schooled in the basic funda-
mentals Of the Warner system, dis
agrees and thinks he can take
Leahy's well-schooled squad and
convert 1t readily to his own style
of play. He contends that there is
mo vast gulf" between his own sys-
TEN and that of the new Notre
Dame tutor.
He took a good look at his ma
terial yesterday and he's more or
less satisfied. Frank Leahy de-
parted with a legacy which would
give any coach comfortable feel
ing, but Myers still is taking moth
ing for granted-eager to prove his
own ability.
He wants to show the world that
the Warner and Notre Dame sys-
TENS basically are q singlewing
back offensive. He wants to prove
that he has his own ideas on Of
fensive football.
For that matter, 1t was "Denny's"
creation Of the touchdown play for
Eastern h1l-S+ars, which de-
