New York (NNPA) - Tippy Larkin of Garfield, New Jersey gave a skilled exhibition of boxing and counterpunching to trounce Willie Joyce of Gary, Indiana, for the third time within fourteen months in twelve rounds at IMadf- son Square Garden Friday night, September 13.
 The decision was unanimous. AL though one round followed another in an almost identical pattern, the crowd of 13,433 that paid $6O,5OO enjoyed a clever exhibition in which the cleverer Larkin, with height and reach that he used eff fectively, controlled all the action.
 By private agreement they fought for the synthetic junior welterweight title which Massa- chusetts gave Larkin when he beat Joyce in Boston last April. Larkin weighed 1894 to Joyce's 139 pounds.

SCHOOLBOY CHANGES
By Mike Haynes

By this time hundreds of youth have once again become school boys. Many of them are just start ing out in high schools throughout the city, and they are looking for ward to the time when they can take active part in the competitive sports which the school system offers.
 To the many fellows who are just starting out in senior or jun for high school, let me give this word of advice: the choosing of a course to follow in school is very serious, more serious than it ap- pears to you just now, but in la ter years you will see. Too many youth are entering high schools for which they are by, no means qualified to attend because of their scholastic abilities. When you reach senior high school, you are laying the foundation for your 1ife's work. Follow up the course which you think will help you most after you graduate. Many boys are inadvisedly and carelessly choos- ing a course or a school because it seems easy. Hundreds of colored boys each year choose the commer- cial course offered in most Boston high schools. Many of them choose this course, (which is sometimes called the general course"O be- cause they do not know what they desire to do after they finish high school; others take it because it is the easiest, and very few take it because they desire to enter that field. There are many social service workers in Boston and it's

suburbs at such places as the Rob ert Gould Shaw House, St. Marks Center, Cambridge Community Center, and other settlement and civic centers. These people, togeth- CT with many of the ministers, doc tors, druggists and lawyers are always willing to give advice to any young person in regard to his or her career and high bchool.
 In case you are one of the many, who have no definite idea as to what you want to do, or what you can do after you finish high school; safeguard yourself by talk ing college course, or three years of one particular trade. As the old proverb goes, "Think twice, before you jump." Your high school course is very important. This doesn't pertain directly to athlet- ics but it is very important to all schoolboys.

 Kenny, winner of the 1889 Doug las Fairbanks award, was chosen Outstanding Player of the Nation by a poll of college teams he played against. Of the 664 players named for the award that year, Kenny was the only player to re- ceive the vote of every man who played against him. Coach Walsh expects Kenny to repeat for the Rams the article states, and has bought the services of his colored team mate Woody Strode, pass snaring end who helped Kenny lift the athletic fund at UCLA from $121 ,529 in the red to $47,033 to the good.
 Kenny and Woody went on to become the greatest man-to-man combination in the West as All League selections at end and half back in the Pacific Coast Profes- sional League before being linked by Walsh and the Rams.
 Together Kenny and Woody have effected six completed passes of more than sixty yards. Smart ing from the terrific pasting the Rams took at the hands of the College All Stars in a recent char ity game, Walsh plans to use Ken ny and Woody more in regular league games.

We give a salute to Lefty Brown for bringing to us his Bloomer Girls softbal team. It is the first time that we have had an all-girls softball team, and although they started late in the season and also were new in sport they gave all they had and put up a very good showing wherever they went to play. The girls have ended their short season and are now looking forward to their fall activities. Un- der MT. Browns direction they will endure other sports such as bas ketball and bowling.

 After losing their first. semi-pro football game, Lou Montgomery and his Boston Blackhawks had a light scrimmage, with the Roxbury Partners at Carter Playground Sunday. The Blackhawks are not yet ready for their kind of foot ball. They have many faults and they lack coordination with no spir- it in them at all. This team is what is known in football as a paper team. We all would like to see them improve and they should as the players begin to toughen them selves. The Roxbury Partners are altogether on the other side. They have a fast and clever backheld, and their line is well put together with players such as J. Pope, G. Guscott, O. Douglas, the Lowell brothers, J. Byers, and c. Taylor. In fact, every player on this team has that spirit and heart to make them such an outstanding ball team and also a winning one. Coach Luacaw has told us that his boys are ready for this Park Depart ment League which they are en- tering.
