Washington, Pa, Dec. 1.-Two or three New York sports writers lifted eyebrows when Sammy Angott suo- denly vacated the lightweight cham pionship,
 It was hinted that attempted mob influence had something to do with the case.
 It was inferred that ganglard wanted to know who the next light weight leader was going to be
 Suspicion was cast on one Of An gotts starts in Philadelphia.
 So, it is only fair that Angott be permitted 10 tell his story.
 Angott first exhibits rebroken right hand, which he doubts will ever be good for fighting again.
 He says he would have trouble doing l35 pounds adds that making the class limit handicapped him in his match with Allie StolZ.
 His six months was up for the de- fense of the title and Ee felt he owed it to the National Boxing As- sociation and New York commission, which helped make him champion, to give it back to them.
 Angotts father is i'll, and it is too much for his misSues to look after him and two children while he is away fighting.
 He is taking job as guard ill war plant.
 Regarding the Philadelphia story, Angott points out that he had only two fights in the Quakertown-with Ray Robinson and Bob Montgomery. He got of the floor and came back to stir up plenty of trouble fo, Sugar Rbinson after appearing ready for the cleaners for a couple Of rounds.
 Angott and Montgomery had the customers on the edges of their seats in Philadelphia, and Angott won & repeater at aMdiSon Square Garden by a Wide margin.
 Certainly it is Sammy Angotts privilege to hang 'em up if he Is convinced he has had enough. AS a matter of fact, he shows sense by doing so.
 He has friends and didn't want to let them and the fans down by go- ing through the motions of fighting when he couldn't stand up as well as he formerly did.
 "They wouldn't think much of me here in my town if I did" explains Angott who resides in the attrac- tive college town Of Little Wash. ington. some 9 miles out Of Pitts burgh.
 Argott's case is remindfu of that of Louis Kid Kaplan, who gave up tthr featherWeight throne only tc be knocked out in his first effort as a lightweight
 A Philadelphia clique offered him plenty to do i2o poupnes jurt once more. so its man could have the crown.
 "I wouldn't do that even if ] wouldn't be crossing friends whs would bet on me" replied Kid Kap' lar.
 Some fighters really arc or the level. although it frequently is diff ficult 6o convince those who firST look for skullduggery.

surprising because the never-say- die spirit that was hammered into Barney on his journey from golden glover to world welterweieht cham pion was admirably revealed on the night of September g, 1897, in his title crown defense against Ceferino Garcia at the Polo grounds. Garcia, dynamic Filipino, hit Ross on the chin with an explosive "Bolo" up- percut in the l4th round. Barney was out on his feet. But instead of going down, he fought on instinc- lively and savagely out of trou- ble. And he won the fight. Just as he won in the shell hole at Guad- alcanal against the JapS, when his lips were praying but his body was passing the ammunition" in leaden hail against the double-croSserS from the land of the setting sun.
 Georgia Picked
 We should save you much mental effort telling well in advance just what football teams will win the bowl games. Our predictions are: Rose Bowl Georgia over the Pa- cific Coast champion, probably U. c. L. A; Cotton Bowl - Texas over Georgia Tech; Sugar Bowl Ten neSsee over Tulsa: Orange Bowl - Boston College over Alabama: Sun Bowl - 2nd Air Force ever Hardin Simmons.
 Everyone should learn the value of promptness after considering the fate of Trammel Scott. five-year head of baseball'S Southern Associa- ton, who lest his job when late for meeting of his organization at Chicago. When Scott finally arrived from Atlanta. he was just in time for dinner Of the presidents of the minor leagues. But his chair was oc- cupied by Billy Evans, who got the Southern Association job because Scott was late. We don't know let If Scott was permitted to eat with the proxies. but it seems he should have been given bit of barrelled chickeE-at least.

Conn. to consider taking the coaching job at Yale Owen told Frnka to head right back to Tulsa. where he ap- parently had material to do won- ders in 1942" Frnka took shrewd Steve's advice. and now will cut in on a nice bonus from Tulsa's Sugar Bowl share.

Physical Training Threatened
 If College Football Is Curtailed
Cridiron Show Pays Way Of Other Sports
BY ROBERT MELLACE NEA Service stan Correspondent ]

New York, Dec. 4-Football, that athletic tail which used to be cacuseo of wagging the acat'elnic dog, is coming back while it is going out,
 This is not double talk, pro. vided you have had a chance to hear athletic directors and coach- les who are waiting with appre- hension it's possible discontinu- ance until the war is won,
 At most institutions, football and its rich gates are r.eded tl carry on entire athletic programs,
 It may not be fair to use a small band of husky students as providers of public spectacles to produce revenue to carry on an important function, but that is precisely what has ben going on for years.
 WHO'LL PAY FOR IT
 If there Is no big league foot ball, colleges will have to find some other means of financing compul- sorry and extended physical training for all, which is now being stressed
 The Navy and Army Athletic Associations. for example, got no more than $5000 out of the Army Navy game due to their being forced to play it in the compara- tive privacy of Annapolis.
 Had the contest gone to Phila- delphia, as usual, each associations $ share would have been Son.ethnig like $200,0oo.
 The differece betwee $5000 and $2o0,0o0 will outfit a lot of players of other games.
 Football is the patron saint of i7 other sports at the service schools, which gives you a rough idea.
 ISOLATED SCHOOLS HIT There is no chance, of course, that the government is going to let the fields at West Point and An napolis go to seed for lack of funds, nor is it probable that institutions in metropolitan ceters will go broke athletically.
 Such schools can still play im- mediate neighbors in meetigs of inferior teams ad make cough to buy few basketballs, hockey sticks and such. .. But what about large institutions in small townsp

 (Cnited Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Dec. 5 -- (UP) - IL seems to us that:
 Lack of brains rather than paul city of patriotism caused the major league meetings at Chicago to pro- duce an anemic program to help the war effort in l943. The molasses- minded moguls merely duplicated the pale plane of 1922, without in- cluding another mid-season contest with an all-service team. We ex- pected the national pastime to go all out with a brilliant, comprehen- sive layout that would contribute lavishly to the cause. But it seems that the imagination went out of baseball when Larry MacPhail don ned uniform.
