James A. Rhodes, mayor of Columbus, was elected president of the Amateur Athletic Union of Louis' Aide to Negotiate for New Bout New York, Dec.

8 (U. Champion Joe Louis agreed today to defend his heavyweight crown in a return June match with Jersey Joe Walcott on a "40-20" basis, the fight to Louis on rounds, although he had scored the greater number of points for Walcott. Had Forbes voted for the challenger, Jersey Joe would" have won the crown for Referee Ruby Goldstein- had given him the fight on rounds. The other judge, Marty Monroe, had favored Louis nine rounds to six. "This commission has no desire to interfere with the exercise of the discretion and judgment of cqmpetenf, appointed officials," the decision said.

shortly after the New York Boxing Commission upheld Friday night's disputed decision favoring Louis over Jersey Joe. The champion authorized Sol Strauss, actimj director of the 20th Century Sporting Club, to begin negotiations with Walcott, who had given Louis such a hard fight at Madison Square Garden Friday night. Their return brawl in June, expected to draw would be staged at Yankee Stadium. I Louis Asks 40 Per Cent Louis will accept 40 per cent of the net gate and of proceeds from radio, television and movies, Strauss announced. This would leave 20 per cent of those receipts for the stocky challenger from Camden, N.

J. These percentages are similar to those of the second Louis-Billy Conn fight at the stadium in June 1946. Challenger Conn received 20. For last Friday's thriller, Louis' cut was 45 per cent; and Walcott's, 15. Despite the fact that Conn then a red hot challenger accepted 20 per cent, it is doubtful if Walcott and his shrewd handlers will be contented with the same slice.

Manager Joe Webster and Promoter Felix Bocchicchio prob ably will demand a 30-30 split in receipts. Reject Walcott Appeal As expected, the boxing commission refused to reverse Friday' night's decision, despite the formal protest lodged today by Walcott and Manager Webster at a special meeting In the state building. The commission's decision, did, however, congratulate 33-year-old Walcott upon his "splendid performance." In reading the decision, Chairman Eddie Eagan pointed out that one of the ring officials Judge Frank Forbes had been entirely within his rights when he gave SEWEB BOOTS ELECTRIC ROTO-ROOTER Cleetrie Sewer sad Drain Cleaning Anrwher Kind Six Lenitk CUY R.

The Ball Staters opened their 1947-48 program with a 48-47 win over Canterbury last Saturday night at Danville. Milwaukee proved no match the red and white last year at Milwaukee, Ball State winning by America at the closing session yes' terday of the organization's 59th annual convention. Rhodes succeeded Willard N. Greim, Denver, Colo. Other offic- ers chosen included: John J.

New Orleans, third vice-president, and Fred Beitz, Los Angeles, fourth vice-president. '48 Meet in Gotham New York City was selected as the site of the 1948 convention to be held Dec. 2, 3, 4, 5. The other new officers and I will carry on a positive program for youth through the AAU," Rhodes said. "We will not deviate from the principles the AAU, but we will expand its activities.

We want to reach the youth of America. "We intend through public relations to present a youth program to the country." Rhodes, who Is serving his second four-year term as mayor, has a long record dealing with youth activities. He organized the caddy tournament which last year drew 98 entries from 32 states. He originated the first national junior sol ball tournament. He is softball commissioner of Ohio, and president of the Ohio Public Links Association.

He organized the junior police in Columbus "to combat adult delinquency." Plan to Vote by Mail Rhodes said he "got into politics" when he was a student at Ohio State University. He is a registered Republican but was elected on a non-partisan ticket. He describes himself as a "has-been athlete who didn't make a letter in college." The convention dodged a floor vote on a proposed amendment to the constitution which would pre vent athletes from enter ing the national championships. The delegates agreed to vote by man on the proposal, which has been buried about the organization for 10 to 12 years. The basketball committee an nounced that one set of rules for all types of competitors had been adopted.

That means, a spokesman said, the AAU, NCAA, and YMCA will play basketball under the same rules, thereby ending a lot of confusion. The. U. S. Olympic Boxing Committee awarded the Olympic boxing finals to Boston.

The finals will be held July 12 and 13. The boxing committee elected Carl P. Schott, Penn State College, manager; James A. Lee, Cleveland Athletic Club, assistant manager and Jack Mendonca, Oakland, and John Walsh, boxing coach at the University of Wisconsin, as co-coaches. iVPJ5 Standings Basketball standings (including games played Dec.

By SNIDER United Press Sports Writer Chicago, Dec. 8 (U.P.) As the pro football war grows more and more costly, the smart operators time beating the bushes for the rookie halfback of the Chicago Bears, of Washington football team won only three games this season, has asked that he be dropped from consideration for reappointment at the expiration of his present contract as head football coach, the university announced through Harve Cassill, director of athletics. "I make this request with a great deal of regret and only be cause of my knowledge of the tenseness of the present situation," Welch told Cassill in a letter outlining his position. -Aides Not Affected "I am fully aware that the life of a football coach is subject to the stresses and strain brought about through emotional public pressure. It is quite evident that the strain has reached proportion which makes it clear than any in tensification of them would not be in the best interests of the university and its athletic program." Welch's action does not affect his staff of assistants, said Cassill, since each has his own separate yearly argeement.

The athletic director said a suc cessor for welch had not been named but that the new head coach would be on the campus in time to direct spring football practice. Welch was reported as having planned to scout today's game in Los Angeles with an eye on next year's Washington Notre Dame contest, the first between the schools. Welch Ex-Purdue Star Welch, a star fullback on the Purdue team which won the Big Ten title under Coach Jimmy Phe-lan in 1929, was named on several All-America selections that year. The following spring Phelan was signed as Washington coach and brought Welch with him. Welch was frosh coach through the 1941 season and succeeded Phelan when the latter came to a parting with Washington ath letic directors that year and shifted to St.

Mary's. Welch's 1947 team, generally rated for the first division in preseason predictions, finished the season with two victories and five losses in Pacific Coast Conference competition. In addition the team lost to Minnesota by one point and won from St. Mary's outside the conference. The over-all record of Welch coached varsity teams was 30 games won, 20 lost and two tied He sent one team to the Rose BowL January 1, 1944, where it lost to Southern California in i North-South Pacific Coast Con ference playoff.

Cadet Steffy Wins Outland Grid Trophy Des Moines, Dec. 8 (LLP.) The Outland trophy, awarded an nually by the Football Writers'! Association of America to the out standing guard or tackle on the nation football teams, will be pre sented this year to Cadet Joseph Benton steffy, Army guard. Steffy, 21-year-old Chattanooga (Tenn.) guard, succeeds George Connor, Notre Dame tackle, as winner of the Outland trophy. The announcement of Steffy's selection was made by Bert Mc Grane of Des Moines, secretary of the association, following voting by more than 400 members of the or ganization. Steffy was accorded virtually unanimouns honors in all-America selections in 1946 and was prom inently mentioned in this year's "all" teams.

The veteran Army guard was exceptionally strong on defense and did most of Army's place-kicking and scored nine points on conversions this season. He played freshman football at the University of Tennessee before entering the United States Military Academy. The Outland trophy was originated by the late Dr. John Outland of Kansas City. a two-time all-America selection of Walter Camp.

Jersey Joe in Seclusion After Fight Camden, N. tec. 8 Jersey Joe Walcott went into seclusion Saturday as telegrams poured in at his modest Camden home rapping the split decision that deprived Walcott of the heavyweight title. The telephone jangled incessantly. His wife, Mrs.

Arnold Cream, Jr. (that's Jersey Joe's real name) ambled to the instm ment and said wearily time after time: "No, he's not here. I don't know where he is. Thanks for calling." Townfolk gathered on street corners, in bars, in barber shops and everyone was talking about Walcott's bout with Joe Louis at Madison Square Garden last night. "We all know Arnold won," said his wife.

"He's sure he won. And he knows he can beat Louis again, It was just lousy decision." No one here was able to give the whereabouts of the 33-year-old onetime steerworker, onetime truck loader, onetime sparring partner of Louis and onetime relief recipient. Jersey Joe six children wan dered about the house, snatching newspapers and staring at their daddy's picture, the one showing Jersey Joe standing over Louis' prostrate form on the canvas in the fourth round. "Daddy won all right," quipped 12-year-old Elva. "We saw it on television."

As he previously had proposed to. senators, Eccles suggested also: That labor produce more through longer hours. That there be a suspension of demands for pay increases. That the Treasury expand its savings bond campaign. While the current session of Congress was summoned to work on both foreign aid and price curbs, the latter have made compara tively little progress legislatively.

Chairman Tobey N. said the Senate banking committee would take up on Wednesday a bill by Senator Buck Del.) to restore the consumer credit controls which ended November 1. Representative Case S. drew up a bill to double individual income tax exemptions, which are now $500 for a single person and $1,000 for a married couple. Over the week-end, a high rank-1 ing Republican said the new GOP tax bill to be offered next month would seek a tax cut at the rate of $3,300,000,000 a year, rather than $4,000,000,000 as in two 1947 bills that got vetoed.

"I learned a lot of football from Ronzani," Gulyanics said. "I wanted to learn it fast and get up to the Bears." He came tip this season, Imme diately took, over the punting chores from Sid Luckman, and be came a rough-running halfback, Most of the season he has been the National League's top punter. Occasionally he passes but with Luckman around that's strictly a part time job.

Assistant Coach Luke- Johnson reports he never has seen a player so eager to learn. Halas has a special spot in his heart for him because Gulyanics picked the Bears over all the other clubs in pro football. Gulyamcs played a little service football but he swears he never toted a pigskin in college. Even if he did it wouldn't have cut much ice with the pros. The only college attendance on his record was at EllisviUe, hardly a pinpoint on the nation's football map Friend and the South Bend players.

L. V. Phillips, IHSAA commis sioner, said the board considered the penalty rather light under the circumstances. With overflow crowds at gymnasiums throughout the state, he said more severe penalties were indicated for any future disorders to keep the situa tion from getting out of hand. Poll Favors Continuance of Rocky in Ring Washington, Dec.

8 (U.P.) A nation-wide National Boxing As sociation poll in the case of World Welterweight Champion Rocky Graziano has revealed a "prepon derance of sentiment in favor of his continuance in boxing," President Abe J. Greene announced tonight, Graziano, who received a dishonorable discharge for desertion, is under suspension in New York state for allegedly receiving a bribe offer. Greene polled war veterans, business and professional men. former boxing commissioners, college faculty members and college boxing coaches and said that each group was overwhelmingly in fa vor of permitting Graziano to box professionally. "The poll among war veterans of long service in the regular establishment showed 80 per cent for Graziano, 20 per cent against him," Greene reported.

Greene said no specific reconv mendation would be made to NBA members as result of the poll. Those desiring to use Graziano may do so, he said.

"We got him by mail," beamed Coach George Halas of the Bears in relating the story of his accidental discovery. "About all we knew about him was that he wanted to play with the Bean more than anything else in the world.

How ran you pass up a boy like that? We sent him an invitation and it developed into a break for us both." A Chicago police reporter, in quest cf news in his own heard about the desire to play for the Bears and dropped a note to the sports department oi his paper. The wcrd was passed to Kalas. Thus began one of pro football better Cinderella stories and it's something other "little guys' might bear in mind. A player like Johnny LujacK oi Notre Dame, a collegiate star, virtually can set his own price for turning pro as he weighs bids from the two clubs in the National League and All-America Conference that have him on their draft lists.
