By the Assoejated Pssss

CHICAGO, Nov. Commits
sioner Kenneth L. (Tug) Wilson Of
the Big Nine is investigating re-
ported laxities of athletic policy at
several conference schools and will
read the law to athletic directors
on the subject of the leagues winter
meeting here, December 11-I3.
Wilson today admitted only that
"it is my duty as commissioner to
investigate constantly rumors of re-
cruiting irregularities" but 1t was
learned the commissioner intends to
hold lively star chamber session
with athletic officials to get all
hands in line with the conference
code.
1t was not indicated what schools
were under surveillance.
An Investigator repeatedly was
dispatched to track down rumors
that several members solicited foot
ball and other athletes in a manner
which circumvented conference
rules. His findings may not be
available in time for the winter
meeting.
The league code itself, which has
been overhauled completely to elm
mate all wartime allowances, comes
up for approval at the three-day
meeting of faculty representatives,
athletic directors and other league
officials.
The conference meeting undoubt-
|edly will buzz with discussions on
athletic controls and possible
further Tightening of the rule book
to conform with the National Col
legiate Athletic Associations So
called purity code"
The NCAA code, calling for Wig
orous antirecruiting and financial
aid restrictions, was drafted early
this year and scheduled to become
effective at the annual 1948 NCAA

Bout
Threatens 10 Crack
Record al Garden
BY the Asseciotsd Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 2e.-Joe Louis.
a graceful, muscular Negro of 80.
will make the oath defense of his
heavyweight championship on Fri-
day night at Madison Square Car
den against another Negro named
Jersey Joe Walcott of somewhat un-
distinguished ring record.
Everything is against the fight.
Promoter Mike Jacobs is down in
Florida, sick, and his assistants are
charging the outrageous fee of $50
for a ringside seat. Walcott gen.
orally isn't considered proper
match for Louis, and New York box
ing circles still are agitated by
doubts arising from the recent La
Motta-Fox debacle.
In fact, there seems to be nothing
to recommend the affair except that
Joe Louis will be making his first
appearance in more than a year,
and, from the standpoint of the
promoter, that the fans have been
rushing to the box Office with hand
fuls Of large, coarse bills
Nobody admits to being much in
terested in whether Walcott can re-
main upright for 4. 6 or even IS
rounds against the greatest fighter
of the time. yet latest advices in
dicate that the gate will smash the
all-time garden record of $20l 900
set in 1927 by Jack Delaney and
Jimmy Maloney
The explanation seems to be that
Louis. after holding the title for
better than 10 years, is talking SER
iouSly of retiring, and lot of fans
are thinking they had better see him
quick, if at all. Joe recognizes as
we'll as the next that he has fought
himself out OF real competition. and
the training grind is beginning to
pail on him.
Friday nights bout originally was
to have been a 10-round "eXhibi-
tion." tacit admission by the pro-
moters that they did not consider
Walcott a genuine challenger for
Louis title. 1t was changed to Is
and the ringside price hiked to $50
after the athletic commission
pointed out tactfully that a heavy
weight champion was defending his
crown any time he entered the ring,
no matter what they called 1t.
Louis has worked himself into
superb condition at his camp at
Pompton Lakes. N. J. So far as the
naked eye can discern, he is as good
a man as he ever was. Louis expects
to weigh in at about 210 Walcott.
who also admits to 33 years, will
come In at about 1913.

Prestige in Clash

BOSTON, Nov. 29.-Tackles Ernie
Williamson and John Adams were
limping on q bad ankle and knee,
respectively, Halfback Tom Farmer
had the snifiles and George Wilde,
another ball toter. was nursing a
sprained toe. but the Redskins
otherwise were in fine fettle for
tomorrow's clash with the up-and-
coming Boston Yanks.
The National League game, which
usually arouses interest among the
natives because the Redskins got
their start here, was 'overshadowed
in the East by the Pittsburgh
Eagle game at Philadelphia and the
Chicago Cardinals invasion of New
York, but for the Tribe it was one
of its most important games of the
season. A win would send Wash
ington back up to third place and
help restore some of its lost prestige,
but, by the same token, 1t wouldn't
help its chances for getting one of
the early picks In the approaching
player draft.
Packers Invade Rams.
The only other game in the
league pits Green Bay against the
Rams at Los Angeles, but barring
unforeseen developments neither
figures in the Western Division race
and thus it is just another game.
The Cardinals, battling to get back
on even footing with the Bears after
being upset last week by Washington,
are heavy favorites over the Giants.
New York, heretofore a punches
outfit, surprised last week by hold
ing the Packers to a 24-24 tie but
Steve Owens crew doesn't seem to
have enough to hold the Cards In
check.
Pittsburgh took a fearful sheilack-
ing from the Bears last week and
will be up against an aroused Phila-
delphia team still smarting from the
sting of a 21-14 upset by Boston.
On paper the Eagles seem to have
WltAi kotCVC NdA Su& SAA

son to throw it, and most experts
look for 4 Philadelphia triumph.

Coach Turk Edwards expects to
continue his experiments with the
Redskins today, looking to next sea-
SON. Tommy Mont, one-time Mary
land star, will get a chance at right
half and Wilde, who seems to be one
of the most promising runners on
the squad, also is scheduled for &C

Harris stepped on the pinkfe during
practice last week.
Sammy Baugh, who narrowly
escaped serious injury when his new

play as long as the Tribe needs his
pitching to hold the Yanks. In
terest will be divided between the
