Jack Dempsey will be in there as master of ceremonies, adding luster of his name and personality to the situation, bidding welcome to one and all. "Old Johnno conferred today with Bill Carey, president of the Garden and his co-worker in promotion of the first Sharkey-Strib-ling duel at Miami Beach after the sadden death of Tex Itickard two years ago. The negotiations paused at the tajr of generalities because of Dempsey'a financial requests and the fact that the Garden, so far, has been unable to make definite arrangements for tl.e bout.

Wallace Wnde, the Alnbama ringmaster, cracked a verbal whip over his herd of Red Elephants this morning through ft jnrring scrimmage in which hin qiiarterbn.k shelled the third team with every play in his ample arsenal. The first and the second teams alternated in offensive roles and came out without injury.

It must be said that the varsity still looked slower than the ser-ond team. Perhaps they were sparing themselves as experienced players will on the eve of an important battle. And on another field, two miles awav. Babe Ilollingbery, coach of Washington State, ordered the Mine sort of hard scrimmage for his Cougar.

Robert Ie (Bobby) Dodd, Tennessee's gift to the All-Amcrican football ranks, reached an agreement with Georgia Tech Athletic Association officials Saturday night to become backfield coach for the 1931 football season. Dodd will report to Tech the latter part of next month for spring practice and begin work immediately as an aide to Coach W. A.

An arrangement has been made whereby Dodd. who is a senior at the Universityof Tennessee, will complete his coaching work it Tech and obtain his Tennessee degree. Signing of Dodd left 'Tech of-eiats with a line coach yet to be signed to fill the vacancies left by the retirement of Bill Finch-rr, line coach, and Mike Miles, backfield roach. Dodd was signed in the office of I.

BOB LIKES am delighted at the opportunity to come to Tech as backfield coach and assistant to Coach Alexander," said Dodd, whose gridiron exploits during the past three years with the Tennessee Volunteers made him famous as a field general and a plaver. "I fell in love with Atlanta when I was here and played in the Shrine Club charity game a year ago. I never dreamed then that I would ever be here as a football roach. I know I have a lot to learn, but I know that I can work with Coach Alexander and give him all my loyalty and what ability I have. saw Tech play Vanderbilt last fall, and I liked the spirit and the drive of the team.

I couldn't imagine a team like that not coming back next fall. DODD IS HAPPY. know that I am going to like Atlanta and work with Teeh Tech's football teams have always been good ones. I only hope that I may be able to contribute something which will be of aid to Coach Alexander and Tech's football teams," concluded the gallant Tennessee quarterback. From New York, where Coach Alexander is attending the meeting of the National Coaches' Association, comes word from the Jackets head coach expressing pleasure at the signing Of Dodd.

Coach Alexander had urged officials here to sign Dodd if possible and he was delighted that it had' been accomplished. "I think Dodd is one of the greatest players the south has produced," said Coach Alexander when informed of the signing of Dodd. "Football players and officials tell me that Dodd should make a great coach. I am sure he will help us." OFFICIALS DELIGHTED. Professor Armstrong and Chip Roberts also expressed their pleasure at obtaining Dodd.

We decided that there was no use going to Maine or some other state far away for a man when we could get one right here in the Dodd played high school football at Kingsport, Tenn and was a star there. He showed signs there of being a great field general. Dodd entered Tennessee in the fall of 1927, played freshman football that year and became a star In 1928. He played magnificent football each year but bis play in the season just ended was his best. During his three years at Tennessee with the varsity his team lost but one game and that to Alabama during the past season.

Dodd was given credit for being the man who pulled the Vols out with a great season despite many injuries. "He was a coach on the field," said Bob Neyland. his coach. PRAISED BY M'GUGEV. Dan McGukin, of Vanderbilt, Tennessee's greatest rival, declared Dodd to be the best player he had seen in years and the boy who had more qualifications for coaphing than any other in the south this year.

Dodd was selected on most All-American teams. Grantland Rice placing him on his selection. He was a great passer and a real runner. His defensive ability was superb. It was his genius for erecting defenses to meet new and nnforseen plays that earned him his real reputation.

Dodd was offered positions at Kentucky, Tennessee and three other southern institutions and one in the east had made overtures to him. DRIVES HERE.

Newland. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 27. CP) Just four minutes were left to play here today when Bus Mills, University of Oklahoma backfield ace, sent a place kick spinning through the cross bars to give the West a stunning 3-0 victory over' the East in the annual football classic played here for charity. Deadlocked until Mills' kick, the two teams composed of former eastern and western college stars had a cautious quarterback.

LOS -ANGELES, Dec. 27. Grenadiers from the last two teams of Knute Rockne's defeated a team of western and southern-all stars in the coliseum this afternoon, 20 to 7, while 45,000 people were driven to wild cheers by the spectacular play. The Irish scored two touchdowns fornia when U. N.

The other direction at this time happens to be Chicago, where Strib knocked out Otto Von Porat to start his recent snrge and a short time ego cuffed Tuffy Griffiths soundly for ten rounds. lie has a large following there and has promised Ch'-cago promoters that he will fight for them in February.

So far he has resisted all Garden lures to come in out of the snow and cold and try once more the Florida brand of winter fnnshine. Dempsey, however. Is a firm friend of Stribling and has advised him at various times on matters pertaining to fisticuffs. Jack has even flown with the Macon aviator, and it is expected that such confidence and trust wouid gain its just reward if Dempsey were to ask Stribling to fight Sharkey for him in the southland. Regardless of these development there is no possibility of Dempsey himself climbing back into action.

The ghost of another comeback has been definitely laid by the former champion's visit to New York. NOT A BAD IDEA. Dempsey. the promoter, and Dempsey, the referee, would like keep the public chewing indefinitely on the possibility that he might once more mount his rickety legs, pull the skin gloves tight across his knuckles, and weave out to the center of a ring in that peculiar pigeon-toed shuffle of his to do battle with one of the younger set. He still insists for publication that he is undecided "you know, pal.

Members of the American Football Coaches Association were arriving here tonight for the formal opening of their convention Monday. Some of the important coaches who hadn't arrived and who will not are Knute Ilockne, of Notre Dame; Bob Zuppke. of Illinois. and Glenn Warner, of Stanford. However, there will be on hand plenty of.

prominent and nimble-witted coaches who will have the courage to say what they think about a number of things. The meeting will deal with matters which may be divided into two general classes Football rules and criticisms of football, especially of coaches. While coaches do not make rules, their likes, dislikes and recommendations have weight with the rule-making body headed by K. K. Hall.

Rule changes to be discussed include those governing the point after touchdown, the shift and the fumble. William A. Alexander, of Georgia Tech. president of the association, is slated to load the attack on point after touchdown which he, along with many other instructors of football, believe should be abolished. A suggestion to lengthen the shift pause from one second to two may be heard.

A coach with bolshevistic tendencies may want the fumble rule changed back to its original wording. Western Coaches Leave for Meet. CHICAGO, Dee. 27.

In the second and third sessions the west-south held the attacking edge and scored once in the third.

Maffett took passes, broke up Notre Dame plays through perfect familiarity with the sets and not until he was removed late in the game did Savoldi really get going on his reverse play to the right.

The Question of just what charity is to benefit has been in doubt ever sinee the Knights of Columbus, original sponsors of the game, withdrew, but it is certain that there will be some beneficiary. Steve McKeever, of the Brooklyn baseball club, has been chosen "to handle the income from the game.

The southern lineup has lost two of its star backs.
