Joyce in Crown Hunt
By Beating Barnum
By the Associated Press

by the ASSOClhLeO fIeSS.
CHICAGO, Nov. 24.-Willie Joyce,
dusky Gary, Ind, stylist who is
seeking a lightweight title shot with
Ike Williams in January, has
jumped back into a real contender's
spot.
Joyce was held to a draw by Joey
Barnum, an almost unknown from
Los Angeles in Chicago Stadium last
month. Less than two weeks ago
he dropped a decision to Allie Stolz
in New York.
But last night he was himself
again as he pummelled Barnum, in
return 10-round match, to take an
easy decision.
Joyce lost the first round, but then
set fast pace and continued to pile
up points the rest of the way with a
streaking left that connected with
Barnum's face repeatedly. Four
times in the third round he con-
nected with left hooks to the chin
without a return.
There were no knockdowns, but
after the first round the fight was
all Joyce. Barnum weighed 140,
Joyce 1877.
A crowd of 7,015 paid $33, ,12o to
see the fight. .

With score of 4sS, Paul Perkins
of the King Pin Mixed Doubles
League today boasted the highest
three-game set ever rolled over Cap

competition.
The ex-serviceman and star of
Brookland Recreation's District

able feat last night at King Pin
with games of 1873, 1874 and 181.
His new record cracked by one
pin the former all-tine city mark
of 497 held jointly by Joe Pricci and
Jerry Flanagan. Pricci's big score
was fired at the New Recreation in
1892 and was equaled last year when
Flanagan came up with his brilliant
squirt in the Aeronautics League at
Convention Hall.
Perkins marked in % of the 80
frames, getting 13 spares and 8
strikes, which included only one
double header. Needing seven pins
on a last-box spare to break the
city record, Paul, while a packed
gallery stood breathless, came

Tide Invited 10. Coast
Sixth Time as Army
Delays Decision
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 24.-Ala-
bama's Crimson Tide will be the
visiting team in the Rose Bowl
January 1. +
Pressure from New Orleans Sugar
Bowl and Army's inability to give
an Affirmative reply to the Rose
Bowl committees "feelers" hurried
the selection, Chairman Willis O.
Hunter indicated as he announced
Alabama's acceptance yesterday. 1t
was the earliest announcement on
record.
The Sugar Bowl was after the
Crimson Tide almost as hot and
early as the Rose Bowlers, who
began to sweat when Army author
tiles said they would be unable to
answer until after the Army Navy
game, December l.
Couldn't Wait for Army.
Under the conditions" Hunter
explained. "the committee believed
it would be unwise to delay the
selection
In short, with no positive guar
antee from Army. the Rose Bowl
people were afraid they might lose
Alabama.
Hunter quoted Frank Thomas
Alabama coach, as saying he had
to notify Sugar Bowl officials before
announcement of the Tides Rose
Bowl acceptance could be made
That, said Hunter, is why reports
emanating from Birmingham and
points East Thanksgiving day could
not be confirmed Immediately.
For Alabama, undefeated and un-
tied in seven games this year, ii
will be the sixth appearance in the
Rose Bowl. In previous visits, the
Tide won three, lost one and tied
one. The 'Bamans were in the
Pasadena saucer under Wallace
Wade in 1926, 1927 and 1882 and
under Thomas in 1885 and 1898.
Other Teams Were Considered.
Sparked by ace passer Harry
Gilmer, Alabama has scored 286
points to Al against it, with two
games-Pensacola Navy today and
Mississippi State December Ito 60
incidentally, several other teams
besides Alabama and Army were
considered for the bid, but not seri-
ously, said Hunter. He declined to
name the others.
Alabama's opponent will be the
Pacific Coast Conference champion
which probably will be determined
by the Southern California Uni
versity of California at Los Angeles
