The Republican party does not
build for success by its handpicked
leaders merely taking technical pot
shots at the opposition. There is an
abundance of principles and poll
cies in which millions of American
voters are interested which could
be laid down as principles and pol
icies for which the Republican party
stands.
They are not the things for
which the ''me-tOOers" stand,
but they are American. With a
continual backing of such prin-.
ciples and policies, rather than
the day-t0-day pot shots on
every unimportant opportunity,
the party would have a founda-
tion on which to build a real
and successful campaign that
would appeal to the nations
voters.
Mere pot shot criticisms directed
at the opposition will not change
the votes of any perceptable num-
bers. We need a two party system,
but the second party must stand
for something definite and conStruc-
tive. for principles and policies that
will appeal to the mass, not for
merely meaningless criticism, or
''me too" approval.

Irish Bobby Murphy
Seeks Maxim Bout
After K0 Of Beau
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-IriSh Bob
by Murphy, a slugging, give-and-
take fighter of the old school, to-
day clamored for a title shot at
light heavyweight champion, joey
Maxim.
And if Cleveland joey Is search
ing for an opponent with color
and crowd appeal, he'd better grab
off this 28-year-old ex-sailor in
hurry. The redhead from San
Diego is red hot now and a fight
with Maxim would pack Madison
Square Garden.
For Murphy, who ran his latest
knockout string to II in a row,
pleased the 6,667 fans ($20,74
gross) in the garden and the many
radio listeners and television view
ers with a smash performance in
stopping rugged Jimmy Beau in
1855 of the seventh round last
night.
1t was Bobby's 49th knockout
victory in SIS pro fights and he's
not going to waste any time post
ing title challenge.
Murphy and Manager Travis
Hatfield plan to visit Eddie Eagan.
chairman of the State Athletic
Commission, today or Monday to
make formal challenge and post
any necessary forfeit money for
a crack at Maxim.
That's what I always wanted
a title shot-and I sure would be
pleased if Maxim would oblige," I"
said the pleasant, polite Cali
fornian.
AL WE'LL, matchmaker for the
International Boxing Club, said
he'd try to make Murphy Maxim
title go and if that wasn't imme-
diately possible. WE'LL said he'd
like to have Murphy face Middle
weight Champion Jake La Motta
in a non-title 10 in the Garden.
The affable redhead said he
would be delighted.
The Murphy y-Beau scrap was a
humdinger all the way. They
tore at each other from the open
ing bell, standing head-to-head
and exchanging blow-for- blow.
Jimmy didn't go down until the
sixth when he was caught by a
terrific left to the jaw. He leaned
forward and then slowly fell to
his knees. He took a nine-count
and then came roaring back. Beau
was handicapped, however, by an
almost closed right eye and in the
seventh Referee Mark Conn halted
the scrap as Jimmy tottered ex-
hausted in midring.

eastern Conference has extended
the term of Commissioner Bernie
Moore for four more years.
The conference also voted yes
terday. Ill, against a protest the
University of Mississippi lodged
against ruling by Moore this
summer fning Ole Miss $4,000 and
barring five prospective players
from conference athletics.
The extension of Moore's term
came Unexpectedly.
His present term lasts until
February, 1852.
The conference action on the
University of Mississippi protest
followed a lengthy claim by Ole
Miss Athletic Director C. M. Smith
that Moore's rulings were unjust" "
The five prospects were barred
from the conference because of
recruiting practices charged to
Mississippi. The fine was levied
because the university used varsity
football players to demonstrate
plays at a summer coaching clinic
prior to the beginning of the reg
ular practice in September.

The string runs out on the Ma

schedule tomorrow, but three key
games must determine whether
some playoff -for-payof competi-
ton will be necessary.
Could be that the Cleveland
Browns and New York Giants will
remain tied for the American Con-

games tomorrow and that the
Chicago Bears will draw even with
the idle Los Angeles Rams in the
National Conference.
That is anticipated, in fact. The
Browns play the Redskins here
while the Giants meet the Eagles
at Philadelphia.
The Bears, who blew a chance
to assure a first-place tie last
Sunday by bowling to their neigh
borhood rivals, the Cardinals, play
host to the Detroit Lions.
Tentative Playoffs Slated.
Cleveland and the Giants. both
boasting five straight triumphs,
have identical 9 won and 2 lost
records going into their f1nales.
The Bears must win to match the
Rams 9-3 mark. Los Angeles,
having completed its schedule, is
the only one of the 13 teams not
seeing action.
Never in the 31-year history Of
the NFL has it been necessary to
have playoffs in both divisions to
decide titles.
If both the Giants and Browns
win, or if both lose, they'll meet in
Cleveland a week from tomorrow
to decide the division winner. If
the Bears tie Los Angeles in the
other division, those teams will
play off for the crown on the same
