Champion To
 TroveI ApIenty
By JACK CUDDY United Press Sports Writer

New York, Dec. %. (UP)- Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis, deciding to make profitable use of idle time as he waits for a pres entable challenger, has agreed to a series of exhibitions in Latin and South America, South Africa, Aus tralia, the Philippines and Europe.
 Professor" Billy McCarney, the champions tour-manager, re- vealed the plans today and said the first exhibition would be fought at Mexico City on Feb. s. Other bouts are planned at cities in Guatemala, Costa Rica, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Argentine. Uruguay, Brazil, Venez. uela and Puerto Rico.
 McCarny said all travelling would be done by plane. and that the swing through Genital and South America would take five weeks. Louis will return to New York in mid-March, three months before he will make his next title defense.
 After a brief rest period in New York, Louis will head across the Atlantic for a tour of South Africa, McCarney said, adding that this trip would be contingent upon the champions condition and inclina- tions after the South America showingS.
 If time mermits, Louis will con- clude his world travels with a swing through major cities in the British Isles and continental Europe.

Illinois Hoop Loss Surprises

New York, Dec. g - (UP)- A weekend of upsets which sharply pruned the list of unbeaten college basketball teams--and may have set the pattern for season rlay-left the national picture . scrambled one to- day.
 It still was too early to make de- finite choice of any one team as the best in the country, but 1t was pos- sible to name Kentucky, New York, University, Minnesota, Iowa, West Virginia and Oregon among those most likely to succeed.
 All were unbeaten, as the City College of New York, Texas, Wyom- ing, Syracuse, Western Michigan, Holy Cross, Oregon State, Purdue, and Seton Hall. These undefeated teams, plus Notre Dame, California, Long Island U., Southern California, Washington and Louisiana State, still had good chance to end the season with national honors.
 So, too, did Illinois, which caused more talk by losing two games last week than 1t could have by winning them and staying undefeated. The second defeat came Saturday night and was solid 63 to 36 licking by California, which had been beaten by Illinois on Friday, S8 to 36.
 That upset was the headliner among Q full slate of shockers. Marquette, loser to Wisconsin early this season, bounced back to drub the Badgers, 56 to 47: Southern California gave Northwestern its first lost 48 to A; Canisius beat Louisiana State, 80 to 30, for LSU's first loss; Arkansas was too good for St. Joseph's, 46 to 36, and the Phila- delphias lost for the first time; Washington licked Ohio State, 49 to 45: Dartmouth lost its first game, a 45 to 34 trouncing by Holy Cross, and St. Mary's of California, fresh from two losses in Iowa, topped Bradley Tech, 68 to 69, Bradleys first defeat.
 Best individual feat of the week. end was the 37 points by Elmore Morgenthaler of Boston College as BC whipped previously unbeaten Fordham, 72 to 50. It was a Boston Garden record.

The Cotton Bowl.
 BY ID EETE

Dallas, Tex. Dec. 2e--(Up)--The professional odd-lnakere today made Louisiana State Q ia-soint favorite over Arkansas for their New Years Day appearance In the Cotton Bowl, but Che lAynen in this section of Q football-craEy nation weren't hesi. tatlng to take that klnd of money.
 They found out during the past season lt didn't pay Co cell Coach John Barnhill'e eleven from the Osaflss short when when the chips were down, despite the fact the red- shirted Raaoghacks lost three games and tied one in 10 starts. The con. ference title was what Arkansas wanted and lt got ct least q share of t by coming through in the tough ones.
 On paper, there's no reason to dis- prove the odds which make the Southeastern Conference team from Louisiana c sharp favorite to defeat the host team in this iith renewal of the annual Dallas classic before c sell-out crowd of 5000.
 Tigers Have Only One Loss
 Coach Bernie Moore's LsSu Tigers waded through double tough schedule with only one loas-that 10 Georgia Tech--ard included in It's victory string a fine Rice eleven that shares the Southwest Conference title with Arkaneas end which Is playing Tennessee in the Orange Bowl.
 LISU boasts c hsot of star-spengled backs-r0 of them who have carried the ball 20 or more times this 0ea- son, and of that lot seven averaged better than four yards per carry.
 There's Gene (Red) Knight, c hard-driving faillback with an educ cated toe; Jim (Slim) Cason, thrtll-producing ecatback with swivel hips; Y. A. little, who was prac. tically manufactured as . TT" fore nation quarterback and who com pleted 1 out of % paases for i3 touchdowns this year; Al (Rusty) Heron1an, e fleet-footad freshman who averaged S.3 yards per try; Dan 6andifer, who runs over 'aEn he can't run around 'ern, and Willard Landry, who likes to score his toiichdowns the hard way-with 70 yard runs.
 In front of these boys is fine line, two and three deep ct nearly every position, end posting several Ale American mentionablas, including Guard Wren Morley, Tackle Walt (Piggy) and End Clyde Lindsey.
 Team Built Around Scott
 Arkansas has no such array of tale ent, but 1t does have Clyde (Smack- ove) Scott, one of the nations best all-round backs, and as well condi- tioned Q team as any coach could ask.
 Condition is Coach BarnhillS fet~ ish. The Razorback's usually are no more winded ct the end of the co gruelling minutes of play than they were ct the start.
 That superb condition, plus c weli- balanced team built around Scott, the former Naval academy star; Ken Holland and Aubrey Fowler, c pair of scatbacks: and c stout line head ed by End Alton Baldwin and Tackle Charles Lively, enabled the Porkers to more than hold theAr own in the Southwest Conference. The letdowns came in inteSectlonal play.

Not much to look at for the nrst quarter of play, the new Tom Meg. ner-Earry st. Louis collection of waterbury ouArdS, making itS local debut last night at the State Arinory before 900 fans, came through With q sclntlllatlng performance against the west Haven Red Devils which wound up 60 to 30 as three of the Guards nettsd SO points between them.
 Good Record
 Leaders of the western division of the state basketball league, with . wins in Q games; and recent wlIi- flers by fl points over the aefenu. lnR champs from Bristol, the Red Devils started as if they were going to pin c decisive defeat on the brand new Magner club, which could not lind the hoop for the first few niifi- ,ites, but tralled by only 3 points i9.ib after 10 minutes of play. AS expected, the Red Devils Chubby Malinconico was the "ho~ hoop ster for the visitors, scoring Q points in 10 minutes; but, as the game de" veioped, the Guards needed little more than a little time to become accllmated to the big 90 by 90 ari1i- ory floor and to the hoops, for the Guards, led by big Bob Hubbard and Vernon Gov, shot their way Into . tight 2e-2S lead ct half time; then came out for the last half of the game to win as 1t pleased, for there are few clubs defeating the Red Devils by io points these days. The AnsoHla Professionals, managed by Waterbury's Jimmy Roach, defeated them 86-8i two weeks ago.
 Trio Gets BS
 Hubbard, an Army All-Pacific team star, netted 2s points, is less than 6 full game, Cox clipped in i8 from a guard spot while Wee Dln- nie, 0 third quarter substitute, net- ted 2 field goals for l4 points in Q great exhibition of shooting, the winners scoring 10 points in the third quarter and finishing with a 2A point tally in the final 10 min- lites of play for e 43 point total in the second half of the game.
 Aside from Malinconico, Q short but speedy forward, with an eagles eye for the hoops, the Red Devils were decidedly of form, though Chubbyq netted 20 of the 50 points for his team.

New VorE Dec. a, (UPl-Tne Cleveland Arowns held the cham paonship of the An~ America Foot oal Conference to6ey-StArting a dynasty as the AAS Chicago Bears and you can trace tt all back Go Nosre Dame even though the works belong to Ohio State,
 Yo01l read an about such foot ban marvelS as Otto Graham, Edgar CSpecaal DeliveEyl Jones Marion Motley, MacSpee0ae and Dante La velle winning the title for the Browns, The recorders even wul give a bow to Coach Paul Brown.
 The laurelS rightly should 90 to own Arthur McRri0e, a taxicah ty- coon who learned to love football at South Bend, shrine of all you Irish subway alumni members and decided the necessary items were procurahle at Ohio State,
 An Young Players
 It was Mcbride who chose Brown as coach because he knew that the former Ohio State coach was a Shrewd teacher of the block and tackle. And it was Horatio Arthur who knew that Brown would draw the Ohio youngsters who would make good Cleveland box offioe, good football and a title. Proof Of the pudding Is that the Browns have l7 Ohio boys on their squad and seven Ohio StaterS.
 Don't miss the fact either, that they're all young pelayers and they will be around Q long time in the manner of those old but stsll vaunted Bears, The same Bears in. cidentlly, who won the National Football League title this year,
 But the brain in back of the Browns first tStle-ard you can rest assure, not their laSt-is Mo Bride.
 This was a guy who loved boxing and baseball. Football. to him, was 0 game over on the other side of the tracks. But came l94o and a son. Arthur, Jr,, enrolled at Notre Dame and it wasn't long before you could find Mcbride whever the Irish played, be it Los Angeles, New York or New Orleans,
 Has Plenty of Business Acamen
 The MEL. had the Rams m Cleveland at that time and Mcbride made an attempt to. purchase them, It fell through, but not because Mcbride made an attempt to pur- chase them. It fell through, but not gecause Mcbride didn't have the capital.
 Sure. he started as a Chicago Newsboy at the age of six. But l7 years later, Arthur was banking a neat SlO,O00 a year as 6 newspaper circulation executive. The reason was that he evidenced business acu- men as 0 youngSter-and haSnt lost any of 1t since.
 As e boy, newspapers at his stand sold at a cent each. McBride's stand was at Q popular intersection. Reg ular customers gave him the free transfers they received on the street car to his corner and in return he gave them a free paper. Then he sold the free transfers for three cents to people who otherwise would have had to pay five cents fare,
 You woner the guy has money?
 Don't Forget the Boss
 In 1913, he moved to Cleveland as a newspaper circulation manager and subsequently, went into ouSi- ness for himself. Now he has real estate holdings in Cleveland, Chi. caqo.
