Despite the fact that Baer pro-
PEELED Louis through the ropes and
onto his shoulder blades with left
hook in the first round of their pre-
vious fight, at no time did the
ponderous Buddy look a true match
for the champion.
1t obviously was lucky swat that
upset Joe. and once he got back on
his feet he gave Buddy an awful
beating. Baer was helpless, unable
to defend himself at the end of the
sixth round when Louis hit him
final paralyzing blow after the bell,
not having heard the signal because
of the uproar
a And Louis that night was tired,
slistless fighter, worn ragged by the
most arduous campaign ever un-
.dertaken by a heavyweight cham
.plon. II Buddy couldn't whip him
sunder those conditions, then it is
difficult to imagine his standing up
for more than three or four rounds
against the eager, perfectly tuned
Louis he will face tonight.
Buddy was expected to weigh in
at about 245 pounds at the ath-
-letic commission today, while Louis
had planned his training to bring
him into the ring between 204-5,
the heaviest since he became cham

Lions Back in Fiqht
|For Second Place
After Victory
Defect New Haven, 8.3,
To Get Within Game
Of Providence Team

The Washington Lions today had
wedged their way into the scram-
BILE for second place in the Eastern
division of the American Hockey
League by beating the New Haven
Eagles, 8-3, last night at Uline
Arena.
The victory, which fractured the
Lions 3-game losing streak, moved
the Lions within a game Of third
place and only a game and a half
behind the second place Providence
Reds. Washington may improve Its
status over the week end, facing
Springfield at Springfield tomorrow
night and battling Providence ut
Uline Arena on Sunday night.
The Providence game, incidentally,
will mark the Lions final home ap-
pearance until January %. The
Ice Capades of 1912 will invade
Uline Arena for a two-week run
starting Wednesday night and the
Lions only activity over that span
will be on the road.
It was a refreshing performance
the Lions unraveled against New
Haven, for Washington was pro-
ducing its highest score Of the sea-
son as the lesser lights of the
team sparkled in conjunction with
Lou Trudel, the leagues leading
scorer. Trudel, who had been In q
slump. scored two goals within Is
seconds in the third period.
More encouraging to Coach Ching
Johnson, though, was the conduct
Of such players as Murphy Cham
berlain and Walter luke. Cham
berlain, a newcomer from Les Ca
nadiens of the National League,
scored twice and luke also manu-
factured two goals.
New Haven's Jack Cain locked
the score at IL early in the second
period. matching Polly Drouin's
first period goal for the Lions, but
thereafter it was all Washington
as the Lions snatched q 81 lead and
coasted to an easy win.

had able and ample assistance from
Moon" Mullins, Dick Fitzgerald and
Joe Croke in his point-maklng

Karpowich, more than any other
single factor, was responsible for
Georgetown's defeat. He helped
shove the Rams ahead into a 20-15

Hoyas showed signs of coming to life
in the second half he led the

Meanwhile Owner S. G. Loeffler
of the Eagles will be pleading that
the Eagles be awarded a forfeit
over Boston In a league meeting in
New York.
Rules Are Not Followed.
Seemingly. Loeffler only would
have to point to a paragraph in
the rule book to prove the Olympics
automatically lost the game by re-
naming off the ice eight minutes
here last Tuesday night in protest
of a decision by Referee Mel Har-
wood.
President Tom Lockhart Of the
Eastern League has been guilty OF
some weird rulings, however, and
his decision on the Washington
Boston case is typical. He neatly
sidesteps the rule book by firing
the Olympics 500. which solves
nothing. Loeff1er is protesting that
weakened ruling.

Free-for-AI|W Winds Up
Hockey Clash
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Fist fights outnumbered the ice
tits in the National Hockey League
last night.
The extra curricular activity was
confined to Chicago, where the
Blackhawks snapped a six-game
losing streak by dumping the Mont
real Canadians, 81, in a contest
marked by three player battles.
But the evenings biggest thrill
was turned in by the Brooklyn
Americans, who stormed from be-
hind with four goals in the final
period to nip the Detroit Red Wings,
5-4, at New York.
A fight for each period enhvened
the proceedings at Chicago, and the
third one outlasted the game. Ken
Reardon of Montreal and Joe Cooper
of the Hawks drew major penalties
for mussing up in the first period.
Then in the second stanZa, Doug
Bentley of Chicago and Joe Benoit
of the Canadiens were sent to the
penalty box for the same thing.
That didn't stop the belligerents,
who continued their joust in the
cooler and held up the game sew
eral minutes.
The game-ending horn signaled
the start of the main event, how
ever, as players pitched into a gen.
eral free-fzE-all on the Montreal
bench and fists few for five minutes.
Spectators and ushers jockeyed
for vantage points, but the crowd
didn't get into the battle and order
finally was restored.
Because Of the fights, the specta-
tors nearly lost track of the per.
formance Of Chicago's Red Hamill.

eighth among male contestants.
Caruso needed 161 in his final string

no league matches to shoot before

who haven't fired in the final are
urged to communicate with their
alley pilots. BY missing scheduled
roll-on dates. they were not disqual-
flied. 1t is mandatory in the final
that four or more bowlers occupy a

Football Changed
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. Delegates
from 80 States were ready to act
today on football rules for 1912 as
drawn up by the National Inter-
scholastic Football Committee.
Although the prospective changes
occupied the interest of most Of
the representatives, report was
awaited on injuries during the 1941
season, with debate expected on
methods of curbing mishaps to q
greater extent.
The committee acted yesterday
to remove the penalty for throwing
a second forward pass from behind
the scrimmage line, and to simplify
the rules by making Identical regu-
lations apply to all free kicks.
Another rule due for revision was
that prescribing loss of ball by
team "A" player on forward pass
intended far a player of the same
team. The new ruling would assess
a 15-yard penalty from the spot
where the ball was first put in
play. but with team "A" keeping
possession.

Golden Gloves Finals
Offer Many Scraps
Of High Promise
Lotsios, Vernon Bottle
May Not Prove Tops
In Show Tonight

Although Red Vernon's scrap with
Pete Latsios. defending champ, for
the senior welterweight crown has
been given more publicity than
some Of the others, it may not be
the featured battle on tonight's
closing Golden Gloves boxing card
at Uline Arena.
The 16-bout program gets under
way at 8 o'clock and should be
crammed with action from the out
set, particularly with Daryl Smith
son pairing off with Nanny Silver
man in the initial 1l2-pound novice
argument. Smithson is =, q clever
little gamester from the Apollo
Club, while Silverman is one Of Lou
Gevinson's surprising Boys Club of
Washington battlers.
Another novice bout fans are
looking forward to is the 140-pound
argument between Vic .Berman and
Vernon Todd, and it should be a
war.
But most of the prize attractions
are in the senior division, beginning
with the Dick Mullen Henry Rags
dale debate for the hyweight crown.
Pete Celinski's effort te dethrone
Danny Petro, king of the 49,
Founders. is another 15-karat gem,
and ditto for the Charley Petro-
Tony DeToto lightweight engage
ment.
Both Latsios and Vernon made
excellent showings in the Eastern
division finals at New York last win
ter, but Red fought as a lightweight,
and while the added poundage has
not kept him from winning it has
slowed him down to some extent.
His defeat at Buddy Thomas hands
last autumn proved that Latsios,
meanwhile, is fighting at the same
weight and apparently with the
same precision and probably will be
the choice tonight.
