Jan. 4. At a moment when our New York boxing commission is being lambasted until you can hear the lusty thwacks a mile away because of its stand in regard to Herr Max Schmeling and the Sharkey man, 1 fain would tack one small laurel on the thoughtful brows of the commissioners. I mean to say I have a little boost for them. The rule that they put in force some months ago abolishing low-blow fouls has had a thorough trial, and it seems to be an unqualified success.

Such a success, I may say, that in my opinion it should be introduced in every state that has legalized boxing, as I note that the good old subway smack still flourishes in other parts. A little investigation by commission of the results of the rule in New York state prove that it is just the thing. will The first argument that was advanced against the no-foul rule when it was put in force by the commission was that it would put a premium on low blows, and produce numerous casualties among the gladiators. As a matter of fact, the comnus.sion instructed its referees and judges to score a round in which a low blow was struck against the striker, and that was a saving clause. There have been many bouts contested in New York state since the rule went into effect, and so far no casualties are reported from low blows.

Furthermore, there have been no bouts suddenly terminated by low blows, accidental or otherwise. Ninety per cent of the low blows prior to the rule were intentional, anyway, a well thumped and fainthearted gladiator often taking that as a method of escaping punishment and defeat. 7 I have been rather a careful sur veyor nf the matter since the rule was adopted, and 1 notice that low blows now are very rare, and then they invariably are clearly accidental. A lot of notorious low punchers suddenly have been cured. Also a lot of notorious whiners under belts to the old Darby Kelly suddenly have discovered that these punches do not hurt half as much as they used to let on.

Of course, the protector that goes with the no-foul rule is responsible for this. Both the Taylor and the Kverlast protectors have been demonstrated ample armor against low licks. Of course, the New York no-foul rule does not cover every form of foul, It is directed oniy at low blows. A foul in some other manner still is possible In this state. For example, hitting after the bell with, such force as to incapacitate an opponent would be considered a foul, and In some spots the hoys used to put this on as a safe and sane form of "barney" which permitted no argument.

I do not recall that 11 ever has been handed the New York ringworms. The good old low blow always was relied on here. Another palpable foul would be hitting an opponent while he Is resting on one knee, taking a count off a knockdown. This has been given the local ringworms twice in my recollection. Holding and hitting is foul, hut rtnly once do 1 remember the disqualification of a gladiator on that account, which was in the case of Ol' Har' Wills, the Brown Panther of New Orleans, against, the Sharkey man in Brooklyn.

For years the New York referees have been letting the boys get away with murder in that respect. Hitting -with the open glove Is supposed to be foul everywhere that the Marquis of Quecnsbury rules are recognized as the fundamentals of CARDINALS TO PLAY 22 TRAINING GAMES ST.

ToUfe Bnsklya Ylftitttaas. eral notorious offenders. In Chicago a referee once scored this prac tice against a boxer, the first ref eree in my experience with courage enough to do so. and what was the result The referee was accused of larceny and everything else. The referee was vBenny YanKer, the old Tipton slasher, an honest, upright' fellow.

The case in point was the middleweight champiortsnip battle between Mickey Walker and Tiger Flowers. Now I liked Tiger Flowers as a fighter, and always got a tremendous kick out of the old boy, but he'nearly always had most nf the padding in his gloves down at fingers' ends early in a fight from slapping with his open hands. No doubt about the illegality of that, is there? Yet when Benny Yanger refused to tab open-handd punches as legitimate scores, he was abused like a pickpocket. In England, a fighter is disqualified for slapping with his open gloves. Oddly enough, though the no-foul rule aa applied to low blow has been in force in New York almost a year, the local ringworm do not seem aware of the fact.

When a low blow is strui-k you hear the boys yelling: "Hey, keep 'em up, will you The low blow can not hurt the recipient if he is properly armored, and if it did hurt him it doesn't mean anything, except possibly the loss of the round by the offender. Even the referees still motion the gladiators to keep their punches up, whereas if there can not be a low-blow foul, then the referees have no more right to warn a low puncher than they have to admonish a gladiator for hitting the other guy on tho chin. In other words, in this stale under the rule, a low blow is nonexistent. The referees might to get onto that. Their function with respect to a low punch is clearly outlined.

If a fighter goes down under a low blow they have no other choice than to count him out, so why waste time In warnings? The fact that since the rule went in there hasn't been any fighters sprawling on the canvas hereabouts, clutching at their belt lines, and uttering low, piteous cries, proves conclusively that most of the foul claims were strictly the old phonus bollonus. The rule bus closed one wide open door to faking, and insures the ringworms as much of a run for their (lough as our lighters can give nowadays, which Isn't so much, at that. So on that score, I wish to plant my little twig of laurel on the brows of the commissioners, as aforesnlil, and bid oilier commissions follow their example, (Copyright, 1IW1. hy Pnlverwil Service, Inc.) SWARTHMORE HEAD FAVORS PROPOSAL NEW YORK, Jni of the most widely discussed of recent pronouncements on college athletics is the proposal oPr. Nicholas Mur-rsy Butler of Columbia university for "endowment" of sports prngrsms by the alumni to do away with tha overemphasis of football gale receipts.

An attitude of "interesting, but impractical" was reflected generally in reaction to Dr. Butler'a suggestions among college executives, but the voice of Dr. Frank Aydelntte, president of Swath more college, was raised today in emphatic approval as well aa practical effect. In response to the Assucluted Press survey, Dr. Aydelotte revealed I hat Swarthmore, as far back bh adopted a definite policy of supporting its athletics with a en-downment fund, designed to eliminate dependence on gate receipts or games played primarily for the financial return.

Making public his annual report, In which he condemns the practice of the smaller college playing the big fellow solely for the financial return involved, Dr. Aydelotte wrote to the Associated Press: "I feel very strongly that most of the evils in college athletics come from the growing habit of playing games for the benefit of spectators. "We began in 1928 an effort to raise an athletic endowment at. Swarthmore of $200,000, which would make our athletic program practically independent of gate receipts snd allow us to arrange our schedules as we saw fit, We have not as yet progressed very far with this because we have been preoccupied with the raising of $4,000,000 for endow ment of academic work, I hope, however, that as soon as times are better we shall be able to complete the athletic endowment fund." Quoting from his annual report, Dr. Aydelotte continued: "There is a growing feeling of dis satisfaction among undergraduates and alumnt with our traditional policy of playing one or two football games against teams from large uni versities for the sake of the financial returns.

Games of this type with teams outside our own class can not be justified on any except financial grounds. They are not fun either for players or spectators. Furthermore, the newspaper publicity and the attitude of the spectators nistort values and endanger true sportsmanship. "A great many of the alumni and undergraduates whose judgment is soundest and whose appreciation nf sthletic sports is keenest are opposed to the continuation of such games and athletic committee Is at the present time seriously considering a change In policy. In my opinion, they would be wise to make our football schedule entirely with teams in our own class.

The same consid eration does not apply to other sports for tbe reason that it is only foot ball which attracts large crowds. "If the change is made and if we confine our football schedule to teams from smaller colleges with which we have a real rivalry, the problem of finding the modest sum which is needed to support our athletics will become acute. This need can be met satisfactorily only by the raising of an athletic endowment fund of about $200,000."

By the end of the week some idea of the power or lack of it, of individual teams and the league as a whole, will have been established for each team will play at least once.

Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Purdue each will engage In championship competition twice. It is customary to string along with the defending champion, in this case Purdue, but the experts figure Northwestern, with four regulars from a fair 1929-30 squad, has the best chance to win the title this season. The Boilermakers won thre? of their four pre-Conference con tests, while Northwestern rompea in with five straight triumphs, in cluding two over Notre Dame. Wisconsin, almost always among the leaders, also won three out of four, defeating Pennsylvania, Missouri and Carleton and losing a close decision to Marquette. Illinois came up with five straight, with victories over DePauw and Wabash as the highlights, while Minnesota, Michigan and Indiana took four straight.

Chicago, apparently greatly improved over recent seasons, won three out of four; Ohio State broke even in two games and Iowa, the only team to show a deficit, took one out of three. Illinois has the toughest row to march this week. After meeting Wisconsin tomorrow night the Illini must play Purdue at Lafayette Saturday night. Iowa will play at Drake tomorrow night and Ohio State will entertain Notre Dame Tuesday night. Purdue will make Its bow against Michigan at Ann Arbor Tuesday night, while Chicago will meet Marquette at Milwaukee.

Saturday's schedule will produce a full list of five games. Besides the Illinois-Purdue battle, Chicago will open at Indiana and Minnesota will tackle Iowa at Iowa City. Wisconsin will play Ohio State at Columbus and Michigan will meet Northwestern at Evanston. LOCATIONS 141 N. Penn.

Coach of Athens Team It Satisfied Despite Setbacks Sprcinl to The Indianapolig Star. GARY, Jan. 4. Jimmie Kitts aad his Athens (Tex.) Hornets shook the dust of the Hoosier state off their elongated frames here last night and headed back home after a ten-game barnstorming tour that brought eight defeats and two victories. The Hornets scored their second victory of their jaunt through Hoo-sierdom here, .32 to 19, at the expense of Horace Mann.

Far from discouraged by the percentage of games lost to Indiana opponents, Cuach Jimmie Kitts declared the tour a complete success and one with which he was well satisfied, "My boys learned a lot about basketball that will do us a world of good in defense of our Texas state championship. Give us another month and we'll be ready to meet anything," Kitts saiu. Frlddle Seconds Remarks. And a loud second to the above statement was voiced by Coach Burl Friddle of the Washington Hatchets, 1930 Indiana state champions, who refereed last night's gam. "Athens is a vastly improved team as the result of its Indiana tour," Friddle said, "They have changed their style of play and with a week's rest they -would give any team in Indiana a tough battle.

When they played us they used a long passing and fast breaking game. Tonight they used a style of game more like the usual Indiana type and with their height on those pivot plays it would take some superb defensive play to keep such boys as Tompkins, Henderson and Ware from scoring." Kitts declared he had found the general average of Indiana high school teams better than that of Texas and also said that it was his opinion that Frankfort was the best team which his club met on its Indiana tour. Has Praise for Frankfort. "We have enjoyed the trip," Kitts said, "None of the boys has shown any ill effects, some even gaining in weight. We pointed for the Washington game, as we wanted to beat them the worst way, and 1 think we should have won from them.

Frankfort has a great team, smart and mighty hard to stop once it gets eoine. I would like to tie no with Frankfort about a month from now and certainly would have liked to sesM my last year's team against the present Frankfort team. That would be a battle." Kitts also declared that although the general average of Indiana high school teams appeared to be better than that of Texas high schools, that there were eight or ten Texas rchools whose teams could give the best in Indiana a good run at any time. Denton and Huntington (Tex.) high schools were two mentioned by Kitts as possessing teams powerful enough to make Indiana's best step. The Huntington team of this season is taller than Athens.
