VISCUSI 'HOPES' CHAMP WRIGHT
 WILL SHOW UP Hartford Promoter Going Ahead With Plans for
 Title Go Next Week

Hartford, Conn, Sept. 2S-(up)- State Boxing Commissioner Franm CoslSy today threatened feather weight champion Chalky Wright with suspension in 46 states unless he goes through with his scheduled title bout here Sept. 30 with Hartr ford challenger Bobby Poison" Ivy.
 wrights manager. Eddie walker, after promising Cosky yesterday tt1a fight would 20 on as scheduled, was reported today to have relayed word to the commissioner to disregard what told you," because White was booked to appear at Wilkes- Barre, Pa, Oct. 3.
 Lou viscusci, local promoter who got Wright's signature to 8 contract before he won the championship two weeks ago from Joey Archibald, complained to Cosky that Walker said he couldn't be bothered" with the Ivy fight and sought to compel him to go through with the col1- tract.
 Cosky wired Walker today "wa expect you to be here and we ex" pect you to fulfill the contract"
 Plenty of Action
 The commissioner also notified Abe Greene, president of the Ma. tional Boxing Association and Gen. John J. Phelan, chairma nof the New York Boxing commission, of the situation, and dispatched Q tel egram to Leon Rains, of the Penn. sylvania commission, asking "full cooperation" in that state.
 Walker, meanwhile, wired Cosky: wright stands ready to defend his worlds featherweight title with Ivy or any leading contender that the press and the New York commission or the NBA names. Only want the same privilege given all champions --six months time limit"
 Viscusi said he telephoned Walker in New York to get some promo tional pictures of the champion and the manager told him he wouldn't show up at Hartford next week be- cause Wright was scheduled to fight in Wilkes-Barre, Pa, Oct. 2.
 Cant be B0theredn
 viScusi said Walker told him he had changed his mind" and to "tell the commissioner to disregard what told him yesterday"
 Walker just said he couldn't b0 bothered" about the Ivy fight, cOTn- plqined the promoter.
 Viscusi said he would enter an- other complaint against the New York manager with Commissioner Cosiy, to either compel him to 90 through with the fight or be barred from Connecticut rings.
 wright is recognized as the feath- erweight title-holder in New York state and Maryland. while Richard Lemos is the champion in the NaS tional Boxing Association states.
 Viscusi signed . contract both with Wright and Joey Archibald, who was defeated by Wright in Q title bout two weeks eyo at Wash ington, to fight Ivy here on or about Sept. 90. He is insisting the terms of the contract be upheld.

GROUND ATTACK FOR PRINCETON
 TO GET STRESS
Passing Combination Lost But Tigers Still Have
 Peters

Princeton, N. J.-CUp)-Football gets back to earth at Princeton this fall with the departure of Dave AL lerdice, who enabled the Tigers to go over the heads of most of their opponents during his three seasons as the East's ace passer.
 With Allerdice tossing his way to Princeton fame, the Tigers neglected their ground game with the result that Coach Ted Wieman virtually must build his attack from the bottom. And with ls of last years 27 lettermen gone, the task Is far from simple.
 In addition to Allerdice, the losses include halfback Bobby Jackson, and Capt. Howie Stanley, an end, who were on the receiving end of many of the passes. The lone key man rec turning from the t6ssing team iS Capt. Bob Pete3s, team high-scorer, who will take Allerdice's place in the backfield.
 Peters Carries Load
 Wieman says the effectiveness of the new Princeton team Is livery largely bound up with the leader ship, play and durability of one man." Peters. Wiemarl points to Peters record. He scored seven of Princeton's l7 touchdowns last sea- son, passed for an eighth and han. dled nearly all of the kicking as- .signments and much of the running.
 But Wieman admits that Peters IS no Allerdice and plans to con. centrate on developing players and plays to serve as c foil for his star. To start he has big Bob Perina, 0 tackle -tumbling halfback who caused the stiffest lines to give during his limited service last year.
 Wieman has Q Spectacularly sue. cessful record in changing players position and this season he will gamble on the shift of center Tom Irwin and fullback Paul Busse to uuarterbacks to offset the loss of Allerdice's Tlaster-minding on the field.
 Several Center Choices
 Irwin was 6 good center last year but Wieman is not worried. in that department because in addition to Don Allen, Pete Come and John Douglas from the le40 squad he has Jack Martin, the most promising of the sophomores for the pivot post. Martin, 6 feet 2 and weighing 230 without an excess ounce, iS conSid- cred SO good that Wieman may draw on his center corps for guards. Only two third Stringes, Dave Ready and Chuck McAllisterS, have any experience aS guards.
 veterans are returning for the four end and tackle starting posts md the development of replace ments is the only problem there.
 The schedule:
 Oct. 4-Williams at Princeton. Oct. ii--Columbia at Princeton. Oct. ie-Pennsylvania at Princeton. Oct. 2S-Vanderbilt at Nashville. Nov. l-Harvard at Princeton. Nov. S--Dartmouth At Princeton. Nov. iS-Yale at New Haven. Nov. 22-Navy at Princeton.
