ZuIe Known ToLouisAs Smart
By JACK CUDDY United Press Sports Writer)

New York, Sept. 24.-CUP)-Joe Louis picked Tony Zale today to retain his world middleweight crown against Rocky Graziano at Yankee Stadium Friday night.
 Louis told reporters at the 20th Century Club: T like Zale because know what he's got. He's proved against good middleweight oppon- ents that he's smart. rugged, game, and that he's a dangerous puncher.
 I'm not sure what Rocky's got because he made his reputation fighting welterweights; but he looks too open - too easy to hit - to beat an experienced knockout puncher like Zale."
 The 32-year old heavyweight champion admitted that some sen- timent might be governing his choice of the 32-year old middle weight king, whom he had known and respectd since they fought on the same Chicago Golden Gloves teams back in the early 1930's.
 Stranger to N Y.
 Joe emphasized, however, that the people of New York could not ap- preciate fully what an excellent fighter zale is, for they had seen him in but two of his pre-war bouts. They had seen him outpoint Geor- gie Abrams and lose an overtime weight match to Billy Conn. At that time, Conn was great fighter" Joe said; and Abrams was "clev- CT speed merchant" And Conn en- joyed big weight advantage over the 160-pound ruler.
 Louis conferred lengthily with Mike Jacobs "on business" which included picking up his $103,611 purse for last weeks title defense against Tanli Mauriello This defense required but two min- utes and nine seconds of the first round.
 The heavyweight champ said he would be ready to make his next defense any time after January l." Meanwhile, he planned to spend most of his time at his new res- taurant in Harlem. He will visit De- troit on Oct. 2 and return to New York in time to be the fall guy" at the Saints and Sinners luncheon on Oct. 8.

Kentucky Star's Eligibility Starts UprOar in Dixie

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. M - CUP - The Southeastern Conference was in an uproar today over the loop ex- ec1tive committees action in per- mitting Ermal Allen to play football as 8 freshman" at Kentucky al- though he graduated in 1942.
 The University of Mississippi, hurt most by the ruling since Allen led Kentucky to victory over the Rebels Saturday night, led the re- action parade.
 The Rebels big mistake it seems, was in not making use of Junie Ho- vious and Wobble Davidson, now on the coaching staff, and fin not re- calling Merle Hapes and Ray Ter rell from the pro ranks" said a re- lease from the Mississippi publicity department.
 Sanders Hits Ruling
 They might also have thrown in Parker Hall, Bruiser Kinard and Buster Poole-and drafter Barney Poole from the Army for good measure. By the rules the league has established as a guide, these ex-Rebs seem as eligible as Ken tucky's Allen"
 Vanderbilt Coach Red Sanders said that Art Rebrovich, 1942 Van derbilt tailback, would be eligible under the Allen rule. Rebovich has graduated and is not in school but he lives in Nashville.
 Sanders called the ruling "ridicu- lous," and added: T believe I'll check back and see If Lynn Bomar is eligible. I'm sure he didn't play freshman ball" Bomar, now Ten nessee State safety director, was an ll-American for Vanderbilt in 1924.

sioner Mike S. Conner, whose deci- sion that Allen could not play was overruled by the executive con- mittee, said that the case was now out of his jurisdiction and he had no comment to make.
 Writers Enter Controversy
 Sports Editor Walter Stewart of the Memphis Commercial Appeal said that conference directors sus- tained Corners ruling by an to 4 vote but that the executive con- mittee at the last minute overrode this decision by 2 to l vote. Stew art said that Mississippi may pro- test the Kentucky victory on the grounds that the three executive committeeman did not constitute a quorum to rule on the Allen case.
 John Bradberry of the Atlanta Constitution, writing from Lexing- ton, Ky, said that Aliens eligibility was one of the biggest surprises ever to hit football people of this conference"
 "8hat is, all except Kentucky officials and MT. Allen himself who had been working out with the team so faithfully that he was able to play about 40 hard minutes with the Rebels
 "As the gamblers say, they must have known something it's de- cisions like this which make the Southeastern Conference look like hooligans to the rest of the football world"
 Allen is doing postgraduate work at Kentucky and was submitted as an eligible player because. he did not complete his freshman year, Freshmen were not eligible to com pete in his day but the ban was suspended during the war. Allen played three years of varsity ball.

Dartmouth Strong On Both Ends
BY TOM NOONAN United Press Sports Writer

Hanover, N. H., Sept 24-CUP)- A Dartmouth football team boast ing its f1rest pair of ends since f1ankmen George Fully and Heinie Sage paced the 1923 Indians to a mythical national title may not win single game this season-if press releases from publicity bu- reaus of its nine opponents mean anything.
 But Dartmouth men, who have plenty of time for thinking in the quiet, peaceful hills of Hanover, feel that rival tub thumpers are going overheard in their lyrical rhapsodies.
 Here's the way one Dartmouth official puts it: "Too many gen. eralizations are being booted around the sports pages about servicemen returning to college gridirons.
 'GI's who had 1t before the war still have it. Those who didn't, didn't gain thing by growing three or four years older
 Tough Schedule
 Actually, Dartmouth won't have to wait long to find out just how good Coach Fuss McLaughrys 1944 edition is for the Indians square of Saturday with Holy Cross, pos sibly the best team in New Eng land, and then on successive week. ends face Syracuse, Pennsylvania, Brown, Columbia, Yale, Harvard, Cornell, and Princeton.
 The ends the Indians are heap ing their hopes on are George Rusch, named by Notre Dame on it's all-opponents team last fall, and John Monahan, who drew all- America attention in 1943 before becoming an officer on a Navy destroyer.
 Good Man
 Rusch, a sound performer in all departments, specializes in end- around plays, and with end re- placements above average this sea- son, may be able to do some extra ball toting. The speedy Monahan also can give the backfeld lift as he is one of the best punters on the squad.
 Guards and tackles are fair to good, but at present there's a glar- ing weakness at center.
 Best of the backs seems to be Joe Sullivan, versatile l6-year7 older who was one of the bright spots of the dismal 1945 campaign. Sullivan alternated at fullback and halfback last year as freshman but earned the qurterback slot in spring drills.
 His running mates probably will be Larry Bartnick, l943 letterman, Francis O'Brien, who never played football before 1945, and Capt. Tommy Douglas returning after four-year lapse,
