IN BENEFIT BATTLES 'Annapolis Will See Game Here; Irish of Rockne Face Severe Test on Coast By PERRY LEWIS EAN but very nourishing is toL er's day's dozen football card.
Only a sched- bakof games are uled, including two frays for charity that were arranged a few weeks ago. Nevertheless, most of the meeting that are at hand will bring together teams that appear to be evenly matched. At Franklin Field we will take 011 football with military dressing, Penn clashing with the Navy before mulE titude that will include the entire body of Midebipmen from Annapolis. This one brings together two teams that have repeatedly sipped the bitter cup of defent to the dregs, and both will be striving to regain some of the prestige they have lost. It will be the last chance for the Quakers for it brings their season to a close.
The Middies, however, have one more chance af. ter today to redeem themselves. It will come next Saturday when they clash with their arch rivals, the Cadets West Point, in a renewal of the series between the two academies, This service fuss will be staged in the Yankee Stadium, New York, for the benefit of the unemployed. Navy n8 well as Penn will be hampered by injuries. Most of the crippled Quakers are up and around ready to do the best that they cam.
But there are several who will not be able carry on after they are bumped once, Joe Tschirgi and, possibly Lou Kirn, two of the Navy's best backs, may be unable to play. Furthermore, it is unlikely that Navy will risk using any players today who are not in the best of shape.

THE GAME OF GAMES HE Penn- Navy game is of the traordinary fact that interest the Middies because will of meet the Cadets next Saturday. But the meeting that will intrigue AmeriCA this afternoon to the exclusion of all others is the impending clash between Notre Dame and Southern California on the West Coast. Here is the most fascinating game of the entire season.
The wonderful Irish are unbeaten and untied, although they have played some of the strongest teams in the country. The Trojans have swept aside all opposition except Washington State, an aggregation that lowered their colors by a margin of one point, 7 to (. However, there is a strong feeling in football cireles everywhere that Knute Rockne will meet his Waterloo this afternoon. Two weeks ago his pupils went through a bruising game with Northwestern. Last Saturday they just managed to jostle Army in another tough game played under a terrible weather handicap.
Notre Dame has gone through the toughest schedule ever attempted by a football team--a schedule without a "breather." It seems too much to expect an eleven that has such season behind It, an eleven that suffered the loss of its power back right at the climax of its campaign, to carry on against such a wonder team as Southern California. I have before me a couple of letters from friends on the coast who know their football. Both dwell upon the football strength and gridiron guile of the Trojans. One writes: "This team started slowly, but has been coming stronger every Saturday. Today I believe it could beat even the powerful Washington State team you will have seen in action before this letter reaches you.
Notre Dame will have to be very good indeed to get by Southern Today's game will be the fifth of a rivalry which has developed three Notre Dame rietories to one Trojan success. The 1926 game and last year's saw 13 to 12 wins for the Irish. and the 1927 game in Chicago resulted in a Notre Dame victory, 7 to 6. The 1928 team lost to U. 9.
C. in Los Angeles, 28 to 14, to climax Rockne's least successful season. The team that year also lost to Georgia Tech. Wisconsin and Carnegie Tech, while winning five games against other major opponents. TWO CHARITY CLASHES OLGATE and New York Univer- sity clash in New York, while W.

Cheering from more than 5000 Notre Dame alumni and followers ended the pre-game quietude late today as Coach Knute Rockne's thirty-eight roughriders charged in upon Southern California for football's tussle titanic on the morrow. Even the South Bend sage's state. menta that Larry Mullins, fullback, will not start in Notre Dame's final bid for two consecutive undefeated seasons on the Nation's leading gridirons failed to stop the din. Rockne, wan and weary from the hard schedule and steady demands for public and radio appearances, answered the clamorings few pointed words to the effect, the clash before some 88.000 odd enthusiasts will be great battle. The team was hurried to its hotel, then their coach answered calls to speak at a dinner and take part in a radio broadeast.
In the meantime, Coach Howard Jones kept close watch over his men of Troy at a Pasadena hotel, where they will remain until time for the short game, He workout put his this Trojans and through an- A morning nounced the eleven was ready. Rockne' statements on arrival followed the general vein of past remarks -be expected his team to lose. However, the comments were tempered with traditional Notre Dame spirit. "Southern California will win. but It is going to be A great contest," he said.
"My team expects to play real football against the finest team they have met all year." Bettors demanded ten to eight odds in favor of Southern California, witht little money in sight either way. Al- Records of Rivals in Today's Classic SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA U.S.C. Opp. C. L.

GENTLE AND MASTERS RETURN TO STARTING LINEUP TODAY FOR LAST GAME WITH PENN Pennsylvania's much talked of halfback combination, Captain Dick Gentle and Walter Masters, will be together today in the starting line-up of the Red and Bitte as they write finis to their football career's at the Red and Blue. After being shifted from team to team during the shake-ups of this hectic season, this pair of veterans, who have rested the greater part of week have again been assigned to the varsity for this last game. John Olsen, the big tackle is the only other starting player who gradnates. Olsen has been a regular tackle since the middle of Inst season and now he ends his career after one of the toughest years A lineman could possibly have.
When Conch Wray put together his etarting team he had Bob Cullen at one of the guards. This is the only change in the line over the Cornell line-up, as Riblett and Burnett were the ends.

Risko's great fighting heart gained that rugged Cleveland heavyweight a hairline decision over Jimmy Maloney, Boston conqueror of Primo Carnera, tonight in their rubber bout at the Boston Garden. Johnny suffered a terrific body beating in the early rounds, but he was impervious to that sort of punishment and reserved enough of his strength to square the contest in the ninth and win the award by outslugging Maloney by the narrowest of margins in the final. Several times during the rough fray Maloney shook his rival with terrific rights to the head, but those blows only infuriated Risko into bull -like rushes that forced his opponent back to the ropec. With Maloney against the ropes, Risko usually whaled both hands to the body and ended rally with a stinging hook to Maloney's head. Risko's best work was done in this fashion.
Maloney Best Boxer Maloney WAR the better boxer at every stage and seldom missed the heavy blows he aimed at Risko's body. He started slowly and gave the rushing Risko the opening round. Maloney began banging his body hooks in the second, but failed to carry the round by a slight edge. Several times on the road to the eighth Maloney staggered Johnny with heavy rights to the jaw after doubling him up with his heavy body barrage. Risko reeled often, but was never down.
The Cleveland battler opened his closing drive in the eighth, when they mauled and banged each other at close quarters, but Risko gained his advantage by landing a heavy right to the head just at the bell. The ninth was the wildest session of the bout. Both rushed and, without the slightest gesture defense, banged and battered each other's body. Risko kept tearing inside Maloney's guard, forcing the latter to miss many of his hooks and take hard blows to the head. The tenth saw the same kind of fighting, but Risko's margin reduced considerably.
13,000 See Bout The score card gave each battler five rounds, but Risko's wide margin in the ninth and his ability to stay in front in the following session out swayed the officials in his favor. The verdict was evenly received by the 13,000 spectators. It was the Jargest crowd that boxing has attracted here in many months. Maloney weighed 196. pound more then Risko.
The battlers have met. three times. Maloney won first in this city and Risko evened their account by knocking him out in Cleveland last year. Marty Gallagher, Boston heavyweight, gave Gene Stanton. Risko's stable mate, a terrific beating in the ten-round semi-final.
Oddone Piazza, Italian middleweight, continued on his undefeated career, outpointing Willie Oster, of Boston, in a wild six-round bout. Al Dean, Medford heavyweight, banged out A similar win over Jack Moulton, of Boston, and in the fourround contest Dick Howell. Boston welterweight, won from Joe O'Donnell, a neighborhood rival. after Paddy MeArland, Boston middleweight, knocked out Kid Goguen, of Farmingham, in the opening round. Just a Moment With Stan Baumgartner YOUNG man walked into the sports office yesterday afterA I noon, turned slipped up to and my chair and tapped me on the shoulder.
around gasped. "Hello, Stan!" he greeted. "What hit you?" we queried in amazement. "A truck or Benny Bass coming out of a clinch?" "Neither," he chanted, raising a black and blue eyebrow with one hand and a balloon lip with the other. "I was just boxing with one of my boys." The young visitor was Cliff Morgan, amateur boxing coach at the Nativity Club.
Cliff takes 'em all on, suffers a split lip, a busted nose or a cauliflower ear and doesn't get a nickle. He even fails to cash in on a little glory. That is what we call "love of the game." The coach recently returned from an inter-city match with Cleveland. "I took seven boys out there and we got licked by one point. But it was sure worth the trip.
They treated us in fine style and gave every one of the boys wrist watches. They must have been pretty good timepieces, for that was two weeks ago and three of them are still running." Cliff had many interesting yarns to tell about his kids. "They are hero worshipers, just like baseball players, imitating and mimicing anything they see and hear. Let me tell you about a youngster by the name of Harold Kutzu. We were up in Manayunk one night and Kutzu's opponent was Henry Lundi, a colored lad.
I think the referee was Lew Grimson. "When the referee called the boys to the centre of the ring, Kutzu waited until all the instructions had been given and then nonchalantly asked, 'Mr. Referee, what corner do I go to when I knock him "Lundi's eyes looked as big as saucers as Grimson replied, 'A neutral "The story might have ended there, but it didn't," continued Morgan. "In the first or second round Lundi knocked Kutzu down and he did it in Lundi's corner. "The colored boy's second, who had heard the conversation in the centre of the ring, jumped up and, speaking loud enough for everybody to hear, said, 'Mr.
Kutzu, you ain't in that neutral corner you was speaking To make the yarn complete, Kutzu went on to win the decision. ORGAN relates another incident that illustrates the deviltry in in the the boys. National This Amateurs. time he had his kids in Boston, fighting The boys were quartered three in a room about the hotel and it was Morgan's habit to visit the different rooms and tuck the boys in. Making his rounds, he stopped and knocked on the door of a suite occupied by Larry Wayne, Frankie McCann and a lad named Nadio.
He received no response, and knocked again. Still no answer. "I'll break that door down if you do not let me in," he cried. A moment later he heard the tread of footsteps, and Wayne opened the door, Morgan looked around, saw Nadio, but could not locate McCann. Both Wayne and Nadio were in dressing gowns, ready to go to bed.
"Where is McCann?" asked the coach. "Haven't seen him," chorused the other two scrappers. "Come on, do not try to hand me that gag," declared Morgan. "I'll sit up here all night until he comes in." Wayne then pointed to the fire-escape. "He is out there," he declared.
"Last night when we came home and jumped into bed we found ice between the sheets. So tonight we locked him out on the fire-escape-and you will find him out there with not much more on than we have." Morgan looked out the window and, sure enough, McCann was huddled up in a bathrobe, covered with one inch of snow. FIELDS, EX-PIONEER, TO LEAD I HAVERFORD HAVERFORD, Dec. College's football captain for the season of 1931 will be the giant left tackle, Harry Fields, of the class of 1932. Fields played football for four years at Frankford High before coming to Haverford, and has been a member of the Scarlet and Black varsity eleven for three seasons, where his bulk and strength have been one of the most important factors in the Main Line defensive machine.
Fields was Frankford High's champion wrestler and he has continued in this sport at Haverford, although the college has no official team. He is a two-letter man in track, starring at the shot put and discus throw. Football managers for next season will be John B. La Due and John W. Masland.
The fortunes of the varsity soccer squad will be guided next season by Thomas I. Potts, '32, whose home is at 254 West Walnut lane, Germantown, Pa. He is a graduate of Germantown Friends' School, where he played soccer throughout the four years, captaining the team in his senior year. He has also played soccer each year at Haverford, making the junior varsity squad when a freshman, and playing with the first team booters in the two successive veers, which ended with the season jus past. Potts is six feet tall and weighs 175 pounds JIMMY SMITH AGAIN OUTFIGHTS MARETTI Local Fledgling Repeats Former Victory in Cambria Wind-up; Al Ettore Wins By JOHN WEBSTER ice Jimmy was Smith, bent the on young chilling Kensington Gene Moretti last night, but the shore boy's sturdiness under fire thwarted his purpose.
And Jimmy was forced to be satisfied a with a decision victory when they had traversed the ten rounds of the Cambria wind -up. Taking the lead with his first bombardment, Smith pressed on to win the verdict by many a length, his victorious etti march being punctuated only when Morchecked the rout by dropping Jimmy for a no-count in the ninth round. It was the third meeting of the pair, the and Gene is still looking for a victory, first tilt resulting in a dead and the following fray going to Smith by an appreciable edge. The Kensington kid got the jump on Moretti, working fast, punching hard and never allowing the Atlantic City Latin to set for a single heavy blow. He fought at a furious pace, never slackening his feverish gait throughout the mill as he shelled his man at every step with a stream of one-two punches.
Moretti seemed in dire distress as early as the second period when Smith's two-fister socking had Gene sagging and swaying against the hemp. The bell came to Gene's rescue that time and he breasted the torrent of blows in good fashion until the seventh, when again he appeared to wilt under a withering volley in a neutral corner. Then Moretti flashed a tigerish reprisal momentarily, fighting his way back to mid-ring. where he bargained in leather with Smitty until the round ended. Throughout the fight Gene showed those blustery spurts, but got nowhere until the ninth, when he brought up a short right uppercut to the chin at close quarters, depositing Jimmy on the floor.
Thereupon Smitty went to work with renewed vigor and increased fury, which abated only with the bell. Jimmy weighed Moretti went Continuing his sweep through hostile ranks, Al Ettore, 169, West Philly's sensational middle, trounced Eddie Houghton, a long, tall youth, who like Ettore had his start in the amateurs. Ettors sank Houghton, who scaled to his knee in the final round for no count as he gained the eightround semi decision. Frank Little, colored welter, outfought Red Grange, of Vineland, in the top six-rounder. Jackie Branton defeated Jimmy Dunn in six heats.
although many felt the latter deserved better than he received in the balloting after a hot number. Tom Conway took the decision over Billy Schweiker in the first affray, Two other Kensington sluggers of more or less renown were in ringside pews, one being Jimmy Wilson, who does plenty of swatting and a lot of back-stopping for Sam Breadon's Cardinals in straw hat season, while the other was Pat Haley, Irish welter, who WAS getting a line on Smith. a probable foe of the future. Pat fights Gene Buffalo at Johnny Burns' club next week. Maxie Strub Scores Over Sammy Mandell ERIE.

MINOR LEAGUE HEADS TO CLARIFY KNOTTY PROBLEMS IN PACT Committee Appointed to Revise Regulations of National Association Agreement MONTREAL, Dec. 5 (A.
four days of verbal fireworks, the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues brought its twenty: ninth annual convention to a calm and unruffled close today. Less than half of the delegates remained in Montreal to attend session. Most of them, with representatives from the major leagues, were headed toward New York for the joint major league meeting next week. About only official business transacted at the final meeting was the appointment of a committee, headed by J. H.
Farrell, of Auburn, N. secretary and treasurer of the National Association, to revise and clarify the by-laws of the National Association agreement. Members of the committee included Thomas J. Hickey, of Chicago; J. Calewing, of Oakland, W.
G. Bramham, of Durham, N. Warren G. Giles, of Rochester, W. D.
Smith, of Birmingham, and Ross Harriott, of Terre Haute, Ind. The draft question, at the boiling point all week, settled down to nothing more than a steady simmer today as minor league representatives expressed confidence that the controversy between the majors and the five nondraft leagues would be settled amicably within a few weeks. Most baseball men here were inclined to believe that th disputants would get together at New York, probably on Monday, and that each would concede enough to satisfy the other. Although officially the committee of nine appointed by the three AA Leagues, the American Association, International and Pacific Coast Leagues, was the only body known to be empowered to treat with the majors should they desire a conference on the question, it was understood that representatives from other classifications, and would be in New York to join in any discussion that might arise. It was pointed out that any decision the majors and the AA Leagues might make would have to be ratified by the National Association 88 a whole, and that therefore each classification is entitled to representation.

Wilner, who gave up several offers to return to his home in ington, came up for the game. Mort spoke to most ofthe veterans on the squad in an attempt to arouse the boys for a good showing today. A group of alumni were on hand to watch the team in its final drill.
Many former Penn stars were in this group. Among those ton the cere There seemed to be no question the non-draft leagues were agreed to the universal draft under certi conditions. It was thought these ditions would include a draft around $15,000 with the minors eged to retain a player for two years before he became eligible draft, and further added condition the majors agree not to invade colleges and sand lots in their for playing material. It was the present financial difficulties in Ar 1111 minor leagues were due to the prices the minors had to pay for players. This.

Some of the major league clubs. ably the Cleveland were derstood to be prepared to withdr from their minor league interests far as actual ownership and operate of clubs was concerned. They are ready to aid the minors.

Chiefly responsible, course, was the current business pression as well AS the draft which severed all business between majors and the non-draft leagues December 1. THE SPORTLIGHT By GRANTLAND RICE (Copyright, 1930) THE CORRECT IDEA CHIGH UNIVERSITY has started A movement which should It have been adopted years ago. advocated more than once in this column.
The plan into play only those university rivals have about the same standards of scholarship for entrance requirements and university work. As things are now, football competition is entirely out of line. There are sophom*ores and juniors playing at some universities who could not enter as freshmen at others. Some universities have extended spring practice and others have littie or none. It is a handicap race in a large number of contests and some universities are too badly handicapped, as far as football is concerned.
to have even an outside chance against others who have easy entrance requirements or soft courses that are easily handled. Any race, truly run, is supposed to be from an even start. This is rarely true through a football season. Those universities with higher entrance requirements, higher scholarship demands and stricter codes should all play together, permitting those with lower scholarship standards to mingle in the same way. The dividing line is on its wAy, It is hardly fair for A to take a beating from when is using a number of football players who could never enter A.
or stay there two weeks if they did enter. A certain coach recently remarked that he had been badly beaten by a team where two-thirds of the players could not enter his university as freshmen, "but." AS he put it, "the public is only interested in the final score." The time is coming when there will be a general agreement among certain universities to meet only rivals equipped with the same chance to win, or at least with the same football handicaps to face. BANKING ON MOHLER UT on the West Coast today they are banking on young Mohler, the U. S. C.
sophom*ore back, to hurl the poisoned harpoon into Notre Dame. One of the leading coast experts writes to this effect: "Pinckert is the best allaround back on the team: Duffield is a high class back: but it will be Mohler who will crack Notre Dame. "He is the most elusive ball carrier I have seen in football, and this doesn't bar Red Grange. He is faster than Grange, a harder runner and just as shifty. I know the strength of the Notre Dame defense, but it has encountered no Mohlers in its many stands this season.
If Southern California wins close game it will be done by Mohler. If it 1s at all one-sided it will be through Mohl-! er'g long runs." It might be stated that so far Southern California hasn't won, although the flying Trojans are given the edge among most football men. They figure that Southern California has lost its games and that Notre Dame is due, espocially after a long, hard season and a long, hard trip. But even with Savoldi and Mullins missing there is still a lot of football left in this Notre Dame squad and Southern Califormia has lost its game and that take of having the decisive turn hang up on a goal after touchdown. Carideo can miss one, and a bull market can start in ten minutes.
It may be that Notre Dame has met 110 rival with Southern California's speed and power, and it is also true that Southern California has met no team up to Notre Dame's standard. The best tip is that if both carry equal mental attitudes to the field, the result should be close. But Southern California has the better chance to be the keener, both on the mental and physical side. GOLF'S SANER RULES OPEN match play golf tournaA cisco, ment is where under way in San Franamateurs, and professionals have to test their skill. The professional takes money, if he wins, the amateur takes a cup or a prize.
But a meeting of this sort has no effect upon any one's amateur standing. The same thing is true of the open golf championship. As long as amnateur rules are followed there is no reason why amateura should not compete with professionals in any if they wish to. TODAY'S GAMES OLGATE'S place in Eastern ball will be pretty well establ ed after today's game with a team strong enough to test squad.

"Just as a check up," writes F. "I've seen at least five foot players this season who've had no licity at all and yet who were better than four or five others have been lifted to the top and fo with praise. You've got to play ty close to big circulations to get! sort of credit, otherwise you're to buck unseen, and waste your ru on the campus air."

B. Carnett, Lou Young, Thomas Crooks and Paul Murphy, in addition to Wilner. Reports from Annapolis say that eight of the eleven men who will face the Penn team today were on the field when the Navy lost last season. Coach Ingram has 8 veteran line, but he has had trouble in rounding up his backfield. The Middies are expected to open with Steffanides and Byng at no end; Bowstrom and Bryan, tackles; Underwood and Gray, guards; Tuttle, centre; Dale Bauer, quarterback: Gannon and Kirn, halfbacks and Hagberg, fullback.
The Middie players will arrive here shortly after 11 o'clock. while the entire corps of Midshipmen will come shortly afterward. The future admirals are to parade on the gridiron at 1.30 so that the game can start at 2 P. M. sharp.
Penn will elect its captain for the next season directly after the game, Paul Riblett and Charley Greene are the leading contenders. Drexel Institute will usher in its court season at 8 P. M. tonight in the Drexel gym by entertaining the five representing Hahnemann Medical College. Last year, a veteran Drexel quintette, in the first game of the season, downed a fighting bunch of medicos by a 37-0 score, but this year the Dragons are considerably weaker, due to loss of so many of the players from last year.
Head Conch Walter Halas expects the starting team to consist of Captain Johnson and O'Brien at forwards: Reynolds at centre, and Redmond Ecklemeyer at guards. Reynolds and O'Brien are newcomers, while Johnson, Redmond and Ecklemeyer played last year, although all of them were not on the varsity fire. Other candidates for the Blue and Gold who will see action tonight are Fleming and Jack Miller at forwards, Scheidler, centre, and Mascall and Cranmer at guards. None of these has ever played varsity ball at Drexel.
