BY CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN,

The Chicago Cardinals haven't
won a game in the National Football
League but they have kept the ball
in the air so much it's beginning to
sprout wings.
They're using a Pole as the contact
point for most of their passes. His
name is Eddie Rucinski, and he has
become the leagues leading receiver
with Is catches for a gain of 255
yards and two touchdowns.
Rucinski, 6-foot- -3-inch end, who
received his football tutoring at In
diana, was with the Brooklyn
Dodgers for two seasons. But their
lack of an aerial game failed to give
him much of chance to shine as a
receptionist. The Cards nailed him
this year in one of the screwiest deals
of the league. They traded him for
Gay Tinsley, at one time a fine
tackle.
The Dodgers got hooked like the
fellow whose new property turns out
to be swamp land. For Tinsley, who
once had been fired" by the Cards
only to rejoin them in 1910, had
been out of pro ball for two years
Content with coaching job down
South, Tinsley refused to return to
action when Brooklyn looked him
lup.

Parks-Lane Rematch
Looms After Brisk
1O-Round Draw

A rematch may be in order be-
tween George Parks, l87 Washing
ton boxer. and Larry Lane, 1873
Trenton, N. j., after their 10-round
main-event draw last night at Tur-
ners Arena.
A crowd of 1872 paid s2,464 to see
the two boys exchange body attacks
the whole distance. Lane hit the
floor for no count in the fourth but
Iotherwise there were no knock
downs. Parks won the early rounds,
with Lane coming along strongly at
the finish.
The semifeature also was a draw
between Heavyweights Bob Wade of
Newark and Billy Duncan, Fort Bel
voir, for six rounds. One bout failed
to go the limit as Aaron Perry of
Washington won technical knock
out over Earl Wenk of Baltimore in
five rounds. Wenk hit the deck
eight times in all and was saved by
the bell at the end of the third and
fourth heats.
In other matches Joe Sole sur
vived two early knockdowns to de-
cision Lee Rosan of Baltimore, and
Jim Bell won over Dan Biggers, both
in siX-rounderS.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 26.-Two of
the strongest teams in the South
land-Duke and North Carolina
are finding it mighty difficult these
days trying to look ahead and pre-
pare for forthcoming football en-
counters despite their overflow of

The Blue Devils have a tough task
cut out for them Saturday when
they travel to Atlanta to battle
Georgia Tech, while North Carolina
will meet North Carolina State in
"a game which probably will prove
little more than a light workout for

Watching Mails Closely.
Coach Eddie Cameron of Duke
and Coach Tom Young of North
Carolina are busy watching the

They're looking for orders that will
take their star athletes right out
from under their thumbs and off

Only two athletes-Bob CAN'T and
Gordon Carver-reported for the
Blue Devils practice yesterday. The
rest were out of town on furlough,
semester having just ended.
Coach Young said he planned to
bring several men up from the junior
varsity in an attempt to plug holes
caused by the departing seniors.
The practice session OF Clemson S
Tigers, preparing for an annual
scrap with Wake Forest, was bright
ened by the addition to the first

proved hard to catch. The drill was

BROOKLYN, Oct. 26-"The mys-

new puzzle for Dodger baseball fans
today in the wake Of the solution
for "the riddle of the fired manager. "
Branch Hickey, president of the
club, neatly wrote finish to "the fired
manager" riddle by announcing yes
terday he had decided to retain Leo
(Lippy) Durocher as manager for
tthe 1914 season. Durocher, center
| OF a player rebellion in July, was
rumored on his way out especially
after Hickey gave him his uncondi-
tlonal release last month in order to
negotiate with him as a free agent
No sooner had Hickey issued his
announcement at press conference

Rep|ay Of Trojan Tilt
Would Please Staqq

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES. Oct. 26.-Coach
Amos Alonzo Stagg of the College
of the Pacific football team says he
would like another crack at the
University of Southern California
the team which knocked Pacific out
of the ranks of the unbeaten Satur-
day with 60 victory.
Some of the $4,000 customers who
saw the game had been asking for
"a replay. pointing out that Pacific
would have tied and possibly beaten
Southern Cal if a Pacific touchdown
hadn't been called back because OF
a clipping penalty.
Stagg, in an interview at Stockton
said the officiating looked okay to
him, but he would like another game
with the Trojans if it could be ar
ranged.
Stages chances for another game
looked slim. jeff Cravath. Trojan
coach, said he is "convinved the game
was we'll offlciated" and saw no rea-
son for replay, and added
I'VE have a nine game schedule

Fiohters Were Warned

Rumors soon circulated and Dick
OBrien, secretary of the Boxing
Commission, invaded the dressing
rooms of the fighters, told them OF
the talk and warned them to pre-
sent an honest fight. Referee
Charley Reynolds also had heard
the disturbing chatter and when
he gave the fighters their instruc-
tions in the ring he, too, warned
them to keep it honest.
Garner now says he didn't keep it
honest. that he accepted $500 to sag
at the proper moment. All OF which
recalls a statement made by Freddy
Steele, former world middleweight
champion, when he was here several
years ago. Don't ever get too ex-
cited over this game" advised Fred
dy. Its more business than sport.
The possibilities of parlaying a
small chunk of money such as $500
into a more substantial sum is un-
limited in boxing. If fighter re-
ceives $3.50 as his share of the purse
plus another $500 for tossing the
fight. he may bet the $3.50 on his op-
ponent to win and even if his foe is
a 81 favorite the defeated fighter
will emerge from the soiled scene
with $975 where only $3.50 grew be-
fore.
Promoter Joe Turner could be
more discreet before signing another
District Boxing Commission con-
tract, which saws, in part, ut is dis
tinctly agreed that there shall be no
other agreement for covering this
contest than herein contained for
weights"
