ARMSTRONG PLANS
TITLE COMEBACK
Henry to Change Style of
Fighting in Effort to Re-
gain Crown from Zivic
BY SID FEEDER

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-R-Henry
Armstrong is dead certain he's 60
ing to prove Friday night, in what
may be the last fight of his career,
that you can teach an old dog new
tricks.
He's getting ready to 60 against
Fritzie Zivic, in Madison Square
Garden and for the first time in
his fistic life he actually is thinking
about defense.
His eyes, which we're punched
shut by Zivic when Henry was de-
throned as welterweight champion
last October, are completely healed
again. Three physicians reported
that much to the State Athletic
commission today.
Now the gallant little negro, who
realizes better than anyone that
he's not far from the end of the
trail, is out to win back the last Of
the three titles he once held stimuli
taneously,' and he's so full of the
IDEA that he even has consented to
change his style. He's no longer
using the rip-roaring pour-in-and-
take : two : pounches : to : deliver
one style which has made him the
fight fans favorite for years.
II underestimate Zivic's figh.-
ing ability the last time" he en-
planned today. Nov I realize that
his experience and will to W n
make him dangerous at all times.
LAS a result, I have changed my
style to help my defense somewhat.
I'm standing up a little straighter
in my workouts for Fridays fight.
Now, don't get the idea that I'm
changing to a boxer, because you
all know I can't fight any other
way but just 60 in there and fight.
But Eddie Mead (his manager)
and myself realized we had to do
something to fit Fritzie's style. BY
standing up a little more, I can
box better. In fact, I've found it
helps my fighting"
1.-The Hammer" has limited sew
eral times recently that 1941 is
likely to be his last in the business
of MASKING noses. Today he added
that his chief ambition is to bow
out as champion, mot as just an.
other fighter" and that if he takes
the crown off Fritzie's head Fri
day, he may exit right there.
AS a result of this mental atti-
tude, plus the fact he has worked
harder for this fight than for any
other in over a year, the gambling
men along the West 10th street
betting mart went SO far today as
to install Henry favorite at odds of
S to Z to regain the 147-pound
bauble. They did this despite the
fact he was a soundly beaten war.

LALANNE NAMED
MOST VALUABLE
Select the Bayou
Bomber for Honor at U.N.C.:
To Receive Trophy

CHAPEL HILL, Jan. l4.--P-
Jim (Sweet) Lalanne, who passed
and ran Tar Heel football teams
to many thrilling victories during
the past three seasons, has Just
been %adjudged by his teammates
most valuable player" on the Uni.
versiy of North Cardinals 1910
squad.
Lalanne will receive a handsome
trophy annually donated by E. Car
rington Smith, popular theatre
manager. George Radman, ace
blocking back and pass receiver,
won the award in 1889.
Noted as one of the best passers
in the land. Lalanne's probably
greatest game was against Duke
last fall when he almost single.
handedly conducted the Tar Heels
to their winning 75-yard touchdown
drive in the 6 to 3 upset victory,
He handled the ball on IA of the
Is plays in the successful march
and ran and passed for every yard
of the rs.
His 6O-yard touchdown run fea.
tured the 21-14 victory over TCU,
and he saved the N. C. State game
by running down Pat Fehley fol-
lowing a mad 83-yard sprint by
the Wolfpack star.
Highlights of Lalanne's play dur.
ing the 1889 season came in the
Tulane and Pennsylvania games.
He pitched two touchdown passes
in a belated fourth quarter rally
that tied Tulane 14-14 and tossed
three touchdown passes and ran
80 yards for a fourth marker in
the 30-6 rout of Pennsylvania.
Lalanne's three-year record is
one of the most impressive ever
made by a back at Carolina. He
scored IS touchdowns and threw 10
touchdown passes, averaged "A
yards (netting 1850 yards in 259
carries, completed Al per cent of
his passes GOA out of 220 for 1857
yards), and averaged 38 yards on
II punt.
simultaneously with the naming
of Lalanne as the most valuable
player, Cardinals Monogram club
has announced completion of ar
engagements for the opening of its
new club room in Fetzer f i e d
house and for a dance to com,

U.S.G.A. INTENDS
TO STRESS SKILL
Rules on Equipment Of Golf
ers to Be Enforced by AS
ISOLATION in Matches
BY HAROLD w. PIERCE
President of the United States
Golf Association

BOSTON, Jan. II. - Up - The
United States Golf association dur
ing 1910 made marked progress in
a campaign intended to make golf
a game in which skill and not spe-
cial equipment will be the deciding
factor in tournament competition.
During the year just closed, a def
mite set of manufacturing specified
lions was completed regarding the
scoring of the heads of iron clubs,
to be enforced in our championships
beginning in 1912. These specifica-
tons, it is felt, will enable golfers
to compete in our championships
without any unfair advantage of
club equipment. The winners will be
acclaimed for their skill, and will
not be able to gain any mechanical
advantage.
This result, therefore, is unques-
tionable for the best interest of all
golfers and the game in this coun-
try.
In addition to standardizing the
scoring of iron clubs, the associa-
ton employed the Armour Research
Foundation in Chicago to complete
a machine to test the performance
of the golf ball. The machine now is
perfected, and many tests have been
mada of several wales
AS it long has been the consensus
of opinion that definite steps should
be taken to limit the flight of the
golf ball, these tests are being given
a great deal of study. 1t is the in
tention Of the U.S.G.A, as soon as
possible, to arrive at a maximum
distance of flight with the though
in mind not only to bring back into
full play the architectural features
of courses where championships are
played, but also not to take away
from the average golfer any pleas
ure which he may feel is obtained
from distance alone.
With uniformly limited clubs an6
balls, skill and not special equip
ment should be the means to gain
the desired goal in golf, as in other
sports.
Any resume of golfing activities
during 1910 would not be complete
without an expression of extreme
regret that the Walker cup watches,
which were scheduled for st. Paul
and the Curtis cup matches, seized.
uled for England, had to be can
celed because of the martial in
stincts Of some who believe con
quests should be made on battle
fields and not by the spirit of friend
ly rivalry such as exists in inter
national golf matches.
Both player and spectator inter.
est continued high in 1910. There
were 1850 entries for the associa.
tons four championships, with g
record of 2,601 in the public links
tournament. Admission receipts fol-
the open were the largest since 1880.

Quite A Jump
This is quite a jump for a Little
fellow-all the way from a hlgh
school team to one of the biggest
grid campuses in the United States.
But we have an idea that Brown
will do the job. At any rate, all
football eyes in the nation will be
on him when the works begins
next fall.
Another development yesterday
was the announcement that fuss
McLaughry, who was something
like a fixture around Brown Uni
versity, is headed for the Dart
mouth grid coaching job.
Several schools are still looking
around for someone to direct their
football fortunes and for the next
two months there will be more
football stories emanating from the
front.
LaIanne HonOred
Another story yesterday that had
football temperatures rising with
memories of ~yesteryear, was the
announcement from Chapel Hill
that Jim Lalanne, the passer de
luxe at Carolina for three years,
has been selected by his team
mates as the most valuable play
err on the squad for 1910.
Little argument in that. selec-
ton, we imagine. For Lalanne was
the little guy who engineered most
of those drives that gave the Tar
Heels victory the past year, in
Guiding that 6-3 upset Of Duke.
And no one who has followed
North Carolina football for the past
three years can forget the part
that this Louisiana boy has played
with Tar Heel teams. 1t is our
prediction that Lalanne will rank
with the Carolina gridiron immor-
tails for a long number of years
to come.
This and That
Just received the Carolinas as
sociation of the A.A.U. 1871 Man
ual from Commissioner Bill Bailey,
of High Point, and a review of the
A.A.U sports meets to be held
this year reveals that fans of every
game will find plenty of action
in the coming months. . And
despite the fact that the Star-News
Y.M.C.A. basketball tournament is
still almost two months away we
have received at least one inquiry
about the tourney. The latest
is from the Chinquapin high school
girls cagers, who say they plan
to enter. Definite dates for
the tournament have not yet been
set but it will be held the early
part of March as usual. Right
now we are concentrating on the
Golden Gloves fisticuffs and we
continue to urge that amateur box
ers file their entries for the meet

Banker Who Staked
Death Valley Scotiy
Takes Stand Today
Gerard Seeks TO Collect
221z Pct. Interest on
Gold Found Since 1907

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, March 14.-The
man who believes Death Valley
Scotty has a rich golu mine and
wants an accounting on a grub
stake agreement of more than sc
years ago takes the witness stand
in Federal court here today.
He is Julian NJ. Gerard, New
York investment banker. He seeks
a 22l2 per cent interest in every
thing Scotty has taken out of the
rocks since 1907. In the first day
Of trial yesterday his attorneys
were unable to show that Scotty
had taken any gold out since then
They did find that SCotty had
recorded II mining claims in Death
Valley region between 1902 and
1904, but although they appeared
very rich. had been abandoned by
Scotty because Mr.. Gerard would
not finance their development.
They were unable to ask Scotty
about the rich deposits of gold
cached in the mountains that he
reported to income tax examiners
more than a year ago, because
these deposits were made prior to
the contract with Mr.. Gerard.
Albert M Johnson, partner of
Scotty, testified that he had ad-
vanced lot of money to the mystery
proSpector in the past 30 years.
This is what Scotty and Mr.. john
son had told the income tax ex-
aminerS.
The riddle of why Mr.. johnson
furnished this money was not an
swered, other than that it was as
grubstake and loans, and that he
liked Scottys company very much.
All efforts to show that there is
rich secret mine hidden some
place in Death Valley failed
Mr.. johnson testified that he had
never seen the rich tellurium gold
locations that Scotty had recorded
for Mr.. Gerard in 1902 and 1904
He did testify that since 1906 he had
been seeking to effect a settlement
between Mr.. Gerard and Scotty so
that the mystery prospector woulc
be free to indulge in prospecting
again.
