Krieger's work yesterday at Pittsburgh Lyceum showed him to be the same rough-and-ready mauler, willing to take two punches to land one, and this is the plan attack figure, to deprive Conn of whatever boxing advantage he may be touted to have. Krieger's punching, which recently kayoed Walter Woods and Harry Balsamo, seemed to be heftier than when he last showed here, and that, along with his unquestioned ability to "take it" makes the thing look like another of those wild evenings for Billy.

"Rankins had Conn on the floor and let him get up," said Solly last night. "Well, if I put him there, he'll have to be better than they say he is or he'll never get up. I figure to tear into him like no one ever has before. They all tried to box him, that's why they never had much chance. I'll punch my way out of any tough spots I might get into," continued the New Yorker.

Working with Al Quaill, Fritzie Zivic and Harry Krause, Conn got down to 163 pounds today and just laughed when told of what Krieger had said. "He might be tough, but he's no tougher than any fellows I fought. I'll fight him my way and make him like it," mused Billy. Krause is in the eight-round semi-final, meeting a newcomer, Tiger Walker, Cincinnati, who comes here with a reputation. Two grand kids, Rich Gregory and Emil Josephs, both of whom have already given good accounts of themselves since invading the pros, meet in one of the sixes.

He reduced his club handicap to three, had his Penn- sylvania Golf A ssociation handicap cut to seven, and finally wound up the season as men's champion at his club.

He had his best rounds of golf the past season, once notching a 69, three under par, at Wildwood. He onsistently scored in the middle 70's. Henry Klein Klein sidetracked Ed Beatty, 4 and C. F. Morgan, 3 and 2, and in the semi-final of the club tournament shellacked James Ramsay, one-time Highland Country Club champion, 4 and 3.

His opponent in the 36-hole final was Frank Hunter, and Klein's advantage at the finish was 6 and 5. The Wildwood star received nation-wide publicity for his feat of two holes-in-one on successive rounds in 1936 He bagged a hole-in-one on Wildwood's No. 6, 227 yards long, and on his next round two days later, notched, an ace at the 11th, 170 yards He was runner-up for the 1936 Wildwood title, but a stymie on the 36th hole of the final turned him back and permitted George Stanger to win the championship.

OF PITTSBURG HEmlock 8500 FOR CHRISTMAS pfl; Gift Values to Choose from ALL GIFTS WRAPPED IN HOLLY BOXES I A By LESTER BIEDERMAN Another honest attempt to unmask the cloak of subsidization of college athletes is in the records today and the effort belongs to Joseph C. Trees, prominent Pittsburgh business executive, a member of the Board of Trustees and the Athletic Council at Pitt and "the first subsidized athlete at Pitt" by his own admission. Mr.

Trees, toastmaster at the Varsity Lettermen's dinner to the undefeated Pitt football team last night at the Hotel Schenley, declared he was grateful for the chance to receive his education in exchange for his athletic ability and saw no reason why the schools 'adopt a pious and holier-than-ihou attitude in public and then throw off this cloak and mask when we meet in alumni First Subsidized Player His speech was greeted with applause and the reaction was most favorable. Mr. Trees said in part I have never understood nor approved this attitude that has been assumed by the athletic authorities of every first-class institution and I want to say they have deceived no one but themselves I was the first subsidized player who ever wore a Pitt uniform and I am not ashamed of having exchanged such athletic ability as I then possessed for an education at what I regard America's premier institution of learning. "Certain alumni paid my tuition and contributed toward the other expenses incident to obtaining a college education. Without this assistance.

I should never have been enabled to attend school, and it is a fact that whatever material success I may have since attained, can be traced directly to my subsidization. And when I was playing with Pitt in 1891, 1892 and 1893, certain alumni groups of Harvard, Yale and Princeton sought to persuade me to enter their alma maters and their offers were tempting. Subsidization is eminently sound and proper, provided that education is the primary objective; that the boy really wants an education and that the institution sees to it that he either gets that education or is removed from its student rolls My plea is that the educational institutions of the country drop the mask of hypocrisy about college football." Receive Three Trophies The Panthers were the recipients of three trophies the August A. Lambert Trophy, emblematic of the Eastern Championship, which also was won last year; the Chamber of Commerce Cup and the new City of Pittsburgh award. Vic A.

Lambert presented the Lambert trophy, William S. Haddock made the presentation of the Chamber of Commerce award and Mayor Cornelius Scully handed over the City cup. Attorney O. K. Eaton, chairman of the Duquesne University Athletic Council, was invited to the banquet to receive the City award, because Duquesne won it first last fall, but he in turn handed it over to Johnny Michelosen, Pitt's captain, who received all three awards.

Other speakers were Athletic Director Jimmy Hagan.
