CXXV 8 SAFE ON UPSET, UPSETTER By ALAN WARD Upon recommendation of a physician and subsequent order of Ed W. Geary of the State Athletic Commission, the 10-round bout between Tommy Loughran and Ray Impellittiere today had been postponed from Monday afternoon until Wednesday night, September 16 I Reopening of Loughran's left eye; slashed last Sunday in a local gymnasium, prompted Geary to call the delay, following an inspection -of the injury by Dr. Maxwell Thebault, commission physician. The wound was cracked open during an opening round in San Francisco yesterday, Trent Fair, husky transbay San Franciscan, throwing the punch which tor away stitches used to elose tht gap after Girard De Clercq accidentally butted the former light heavyweight champion of the world faw days ago.

PROTECTION MOTIF Following an examination of Loughran's injury, Dr. Thebault expressed the opinion not only would it probably cause him trouble early in Impellitltiere bout, were it permitted to go on as scheduled, but Loughran was liable to permanent HHcHaHP sBahmH fcw iaafi disability. Commissioner Geary admitted acted arbitrarily in postponing the fight, but, was actuated by the desire to protect a reat fighter as well the public. IStatak mbbbbbbbbI bbb bbm BttjttjttMttfe S. F.

John Van Ryn, Philadelphia, today defeated Jacques Brugnon, Francer6-3, 6-3, 6-2, in the third round of the National men's singles championship.

New Stories By LEM TAYLOR Uncle Lemuel's alert blue eyes have teen many famout football game 1 hundreds of 'em, in fact so if he recalls memories and reminices now and then you'll have to pardon him. When Grandpappy thinlcs back over the years and picks out a lotta different examples he just about convinces himself that there's a lot more to the psychological part of football than most of the young blades will admit. Call him a sentimental old fool if you will, and Uncle Lemuel will be prone to agree, but that's the ol' man's conviction, anyway. A lot of the boys will remember the time when California went to Los Angeles to play the terrible Trojans while Bill Ingram flew East to attend his mother's funeral. The Bean won for Bill.

The Penn team was the best In the East and California wasn't up to the standard It maintained In the three previous Wonder Team years, although the Bear won the title that year, too. In the dressing room before the fame the Bean gathered around aa Nibs Price and Dr.

Albert Boles informed them that Andy Smith was desperately sick and wouldn't he able to do anything more than sit on the bench and watch the game. Nibs and Doc Boles asked the boys to win for Andy. They did, to (I, as Crandpap remembers, and It staggered the East. 0 Whenever Orandpap or anybody else reminisces on football in this State he sooner or later gets Andy Smith into his copy, for Andy was the daddy of Coast football In a big way. A lot has been written about his Wonder Team and his coaching methods but one thing hasn't been brought out very clearly to Lem's way of thinking.

Andy knew his stuff and was a great strategist, but he used the ol' gray matter In another way. When he had a player with more than the usual amount of intelligence he gave him a lotta leeway to think for himself. That's something that isn't done too much nowadays (or maybe the coaches can't take a chance on letting the boys think for themselves). Anyway only a few of them encourage It Lemuel remembers one of the self-thinking Bears who did his stuff In fine shape that sunny, January day. He waa Gordon Hu-ber, an Adonls-type end who probably didn" get as much credit as he 'should have had he-cause he came right after Brick Mailer.

All ends looked pretty average after that guy. Anyway, Andy told Gordon a eouple of weeks before the game that he would have the lovely little task of taking care of Ed McGlnley, Penny's great all-American tackle that year. So Gordon did a lot of thinking about it, and probably stayed awake nights at that On game day, Andy told the lads to use a themnew formation with both ends on one side of the line about three yards removed from the rest of the line. Gordon was the Inside end and soon found out that McGlnley, great as he really was, didn't know how to play against this particular formation. 0 0 0 Instead of shifting out with the tnda, McGlnley charged straight forward from his regular place.

Mrs, Fabyan, seeded second, lost to the 18-year-old Los Angeles girl by scores of 2-6, 6-3, 6-4. In calling the halt the commissioner over-ruled both Loughran and Manager Joe Smith. The former champion appeared to take his hurt lightly, maintaining he suffered with bad eyes In hit two previous boots with Impellittiere, both of which he won. "Tommy can lick Impellittiere with one of two eyes," commented Smith, who expressed disappointment over the 10 days' postponement. No less disappointed were Impellittiere and his mentor, Harry Lenny.

WAIT BOTHERSOME "I've got my boy in the best shape of his career," lamented Lenny. "He was a cinch to lick Tommy. Of course, he'll be just as much a cinch September 16, but waits like that get on everyone's nerves. I'd have made everything even by jgjt-ting a blinder over one of the Imp's lamps if Tommy and Smith wanted it that way." The wisdom of Geary's course is evident when the manner in which the wound was reopened yesterday is considered. Only a few seconds after Lough- NO.

(U.R) A Pacific Coaft conference committee in charge of the office of Herb Dana, commissioner of (Officials, today was empowered to "take any necessary action" in the controversy involving Dana and Bob Evans, official and former Stanford coach. Evans was dismissed as an official by Dana recently. Dana and Evans both declined to make public the background of Dana's action, although Evans charged he was discharged "for personal reafons."

Loughran was forced to cut short his sparring for the day, although he did devote an additional six rounds to gymnasium floor work. The workout with Fair waa Loughran's first, of a sparring nature, since the Sunday episode. Both he and Smith were confident the injury had sufficiently healed to permit the training setto. However, several unprejudiced persons, wise intthe ways of eye cuts, believed the Philadelphia dancing master should have refrained from an exchangt of blows until the actual combat.

The trouble started when Joost. out trying to steal home, collided with the Oakland catcher.

Levin, a superbly, built young fellow with a fine sense of showmanship, although slightly round around the edges, took the doctor in straight falls. Three years older than the hidden ball trick in baseball, the phoney referee's back slap was worked by Meyer on the adolescent Levin. The champ had Meyer's shoulders to the mat after a series of body rolls when the foxy Doc gently reached over and applied the pat-pat-pat just under the left shoulder blade, a referee's signal that all is over and dinner is waiting. Levin leaped to his feet and the doctor, leering wickedly, regained his feet, ready to start in where things left off. Levin took the opening fall with leg grip and shoulder press, in 16V4 minutes, the second with a pro saic body press in 26Vi minutes.

The child specialist spoke before the Utah Medical Association. "The trouble is," he said, "that the coach loses his job if he doesn't win.

He should be a member of the faculty i and shouldn be dismissed except for cause." 1 Dr.

Sweet asserted competitive sports are misplaced in high schools. "It is all right to teach children such fundamentals as how to stand, walk and run so that the skeletal muscles will be built up in a balanced way. "I would have no objection to baseball and basketball provided they are non-competitive. "There are many instances of high school athletes being ruined physically.
