Bettina lost his light heavyweight crown to another Pittsburgher Billy Conn and subsequently joined the heavyweight clan, as did Conn. He has compiled a string of 27 consecutive victories over a varied assortment of heavyweights so far, and next Monday night will try to make it 28 against Bobo, a giant Negro who has little aspirations of his own, and a terrific punch to back them up Frankie Gustlne, one of the younger fellows on whom Frankie Frisch, has been counting on for next summer's Pittsburgh Pirates club, has taken his physical examination for the draft, and is awaiting his classification There was a bit of irony in the Penn State-Pitt game last Saturday.

The Lions came to the Smokey city last year with their famous seven mountains and a perfect record, only to bow te the Panthers again. This year, with a second rate club that hadn't been expected to do much, the Lions humbled the Pittsburghers when they were riding the crest of consecutive victories over Fordham and Nebraska Bob Pastor will fight In Boston probably December 12th with Jack Marshall and In January iri Cleveland with Len Franklin, it is said Tucker, another heavyweight, is angling for a Chicago shot at Booker Beckwith and Abe Simon One week from tomorrow night will be the date for the honoring of Bob Pflug and his Red and Black Owls by the Downtown Coaches Association. A dinner will be held at The Emery hotel with Ray Wolfe, head coach of North Carolina and Ralph Hubbell, WGR sports commentator, as the principal headliners on a program which promises to surpass all previous seasons. Football is reaching the final stage of the season and this Thursday (Thanksgiving Day) and Saturday will find a number of top-notch teams conclude their 1941 season. Last week we happened to pick up a few percentage points on our selections.

Of 46 games picked we happened to win 36 while losing 10 to bring the year's mark up to 299 right and 111 wrong for a .727 percentage. Here's hoping we better our murk this week. THURSDAY NEW YORK, Nov. 25. INS) The gentlemen of the pugilistic profession gathered in little knots along Jacobs' beach today with doubt written on their faces and with anguish in their hearts.

They are bewildered and almost disbelieving. If they had just come from a scolding in double talk by General John J. Phelan of the New York commission they couldn't be more puzzled and distressed. They simply don't know what to make of the latest and severest blow suffered by the revered cauliflower business. Guess what.

Abe J. Greene, chairman of the National Boxing association, with which, most of fche various state organizations are affiliated, has announced from his Paterson, N. headquarters that agreements must be kept in the future. That's a fine thing isn't it? And you can just imagine the consternation wherever the boys gather to discuss this terrible obstacle to their methods of operating. Of course, Mr.

Greene's incredible demands can't be enforced in New York, for the New York commission stands austere andalone, aloof to all entanglements with other governing bodies, but this show of authority and eagerness to keep the dear old business reasonably clean will be in effect in many other places where eastern managers send their stables to forage for folding money when it is scarce around here. Furthermore, Mr. Greene has indicated a stubbornness to make this stick by upholding Connecticut's suspension of Chalky Wright, the New York commission's world featherweight champion. Manager Gets Heave-Ho Eddie Walker, Wright's manager, also was given the heave-ho by Mr. Greene, who points out, however, that all this had nothing to do with the featherweight title situation one way or the other.

He explained that ALTOONA, NOV. 25 (INS) With only four more games left on the schedule, the PIAA's western conference title race was tighter than a drum today. Lock Haven, continuing its rapid 11th hour climb, bounded into first place over the weekend for the first time this year, while Tyrone dropped into a second-place tie with Windber only five points behind the leader. DuBois, which also has a chance yet, dropped from third to fourth place in the standings. Tyrone can add 20 points, DuBois also can add 20, and Lock Haven 10 to their present totals depending on the outcome of the four Turkey day games Thursday.

All three teams will be affected by the Hun-tingdon-Mt. Union game, since all have defeated Huntingdon. DuBois and Tyrone also can get additional help from Philipsburg in that school's game with Osceola. Windber can't add any more points to its total since all five helpers have ended their schedules. The conference officials will meet in Altoona next Monday evening to award the titles.

Bellwood-Antis won the Class crown with a record of three wins and one loss for a total of 105 points. Claysburg was second with three wins and one loss, a total of 90 points.

INS1 The glory of being national A.A.U. basketball champions still belonged 'to the Twentieth Century-Fox five of Hollywood today by the scant margin of three points and a garrison finish in the finale of the Golden Jubilee tournament at Madison Square Garden. With less than three minutes to play and the score tied 38-38, Carl Knowles dropped a shot that put the film five ahead, and they went on to beat the Phillips 66 Oilers of Bartlesville, 42 to 39.

Foes from the A.A.U. tourney last spring, the teams squared off in a knock-down duej all the way, and at the final whistle three players from each team had been disqualified on fouls. Hank Luisetti, Phillips' ace, was removed from the game with a torn cartilage in his knee. The tournament opened a season dedicated to the memory of Dr. James A.

Naismith, who devised basketball 50 years ago. Proceeds of the meet, like from hundreds of other exhibitions throughout the nation, will be placed in a fund to erect a "Temple of Basketball" as a monument to Dr. Naismith. The Film Five was awarded the Dr. Naismith plaque, symbolic of their victory last night before 9,133 persons.

Ohrbr.ch A.A., Metropolitan champions, led throughout a consolation game against the Roanoke, Legionnaires, and beat the Southern Kingpins, 39 to 33. Straeder Says Rams Would Top Coast Team Sugar Bowl or Cotton Bowl Game May be the Spot for Fordham 11 BY JACK MA HON (International News Service Sports Writer) NEW YORK, Nov. 25 Should the very much rejuvenated Fordham Rams be invited to the Rose Bowl they undoubtedly would accept the bid, their Coach "Sleepy" Jim Crowley opined today. And going a bit further out on the limb, another coach, "Red" Straeder of St. Mary's who has had the "pleasure" of watching the Rams on the romp, said "Fordham would 'take' any team on the coast." Speculation on just which bowl Fordham would favor if given a choice has been widespread here since the Rams returned to their early season form to trounce St.

Mary's. 35-7, last Saturday. Because the unbeaten '37 Fordham team, was snubbed by the Rose Bowl committee, a report has circulated that the Rams would not be interested in the coast proposition in the future but would confine their activities to either the Sugar Bowl game at New Orleans or the Cotton Bowl classic dished up at Dallas. We button-holed Mr. Crowley, however, and he has other ideas.

"This is strictly only my own opinion," said James, "but I think if we received a Rose Bowl bid, we'd accept." Fordham's decision, if in line with Crowley's reasoning, would be based on the fact that Oregon State looms as the host and has played the Rams tw7ice in the past. The Rams beat the Beavers 8-6 in 1932 and the Beavers won the second game, the following year, 9-6. A Rose Bowl game thus would be the "rubber" of the series and, from past performances, a swell ball game. Arizona 18 Texas 19 Tulsa 21 Ursinus 12 Denver 14 Alabama 20 Kansas State 0 Texas Aggies (an upset) 14 Arkansas 0 Frank, and Mar 0 Colorado 7 Miami (Friday night) 7 SATURDAY Walker had made an agreement for Wright to meet Bobby Ivy at Hartford, and had run out on it. Mr.

Greene specifically declared himself as follows: "This Wright-Ivy situation does not involve a championship in the eyes of the N.B.A. Our recognized champion is Jackie Wilson, of Pittsburgh, although we recognized Wright as a foremost contender. Involved in this situation is the sanctity of agreements and the value of moral understandings. Ample evidence was provided that Walker knew he had an agreement (for Wright) to box in Hartford, and the N.B.A. will stand by its members on the premise that what happens to one state can easily happen to any other.

Unity of purpose will make for the strong association which boxing needs in this country." Get a load of that Greene, will you pals. Sanctity' of agreements. The guy is out to run everybody. The first thing you know he will be expecting sportsmanship to be a common practice. In fact, he mentions something about too, in assailing managers of champions for attempting to cut themselves in for a piece of their fighters' successors.

This is "a form of chain store ownership of titles, and violates every element of sportsmanship," he said. What's more, he added: "No one owns a title by divine right. The title belongs to the man who can establish his superiority over the others in his class, and not to the one a manager picks out as his sovereign successor." That's too much for the Jacobs' beach set. Here is a guy expecting you to keep agreements, and demanding sportsmanship and telling you not to cut on a challenger in return for permitting your champion in the ring with him. And he hands i you all that in one day.

100,000 Will See High Teams Play Annual Battle for City Title Slated Saturday CHICAGO, Nov. 25. (INS) Though Chicagoans don't turn up their noses at college football, they seem to prefer their servings or grid-iron fun cooked high school style. As in other years, the annual battle for the city high school grid championship will outdraw any college game in the midwest this Saturday, when a. crowd of about will jam Soldier Field for the title contest between Tilden Tech, public school champion, and St.

Leo, Catholic champion. Officials disclosed today that more than 77,000 tickets for the game already have been sold, but they doubted Saturday's crowd would break the record high school attendance set four years ago when 115,000 turned out to see Bill De Correvont lead his Austin team to a 26-0 victory over Leo.

Boxer, Ma Suspend Boxing Failure of Wright to Fulfill Bout Agreement Reason for Suspension NEW YORK, Nov. 25 (U.R) Chalky Wright, recognized in New I York state as featherweight champion, and his manager, Eddie Walker, have been suspended for failure to fulfill an agreement to meet Bobby' I Poison) Ivy of Hartford, President Abe J. Greene ot the National Boxing Association announced today. Their suspension had been a-sked by Frank Coskey, Connecticut Stats Athletic Commissioner, when Walker repudiated an agreement to boa Ivy after Wright had won the New York state version of the 125-pound title in Washington from Joey Archibald. Coskey said that before the Wright-Archibald bout, both managers agreed that the winner would fight Ivy in Hartford.

These two will be meeting for the Southeastern Conference title and the Orange Bowl bid that may accompany the crown. Neither has been defeated now in conference play, although Mississippi lost to Georgetown and State to Duquesne. The sentiment seems to favor Old Miss, which has Hovious, Hapes, and the advantage of playing at home. Fordham-NYtr, at New York The Rams should win this by 40 points, but there is always that memory of Pitt. NYU is out-manned, out-powered and out-sped here and a Violet victory would rank as the most shocking upset of the year bar none.

Fordham still is Bowl bound, so look for a solid triumph. Tennessee-Vanderbilt. at Knox-ville The Vols have nothing to lose and Vanderbilt has its first possible Bowl invitation to gain. Vandy flattened Alabama last week and is coming fast, but Tennessee is a team which nobody is going to push around. The Vols play at home, but Vandy has the incentive.

Nov. 25 (U.R) Paul (Tiny) Engebret.sen, former Northwestern star and a veteran of ten years in the National Pro League, has been retained as head coach of the Buffalo Tigers of the American Professional Football League. Fiore A. Cesare, president of the local club, announced Engebretsen's reappointment last night. He said the team's sponsors were well satisfied with Engebretsen's work, which was undertaken on such short notice.

Engebretsen will attend the league meeting eprly next month, and then turn his attention to signing players for the 1941 season. The former Green Bay star was signed as Buffalo coach approximately a week before the season began last September and was forced to hunt throughout the country to assemble a squad for the opening game. No match for opponents in early games, the Tigers developed under Engebretsen until at the close of the season they were the equal of any eleven in the American League. Buffalo ended the season with two victories and six defeats. ARMSTRONG A MANAGER NEW YORK, Nov.

The little ebony warrior who held the world's featherweight, lightweight and welterweight championships before his retirement, left New York today with the announcement that he is boss of three fighters, and that, what's more, he wants matches for them. Then he ducked out toward Galveston, where one of his stablemen will fight. Armstrong said he is handling the ring affairs of lightweight Mike Delia, featherweight Cleo Shans and heavyweight Bob Brown.

DENVER. Nov. 25. A ru- mored three-way split in the Big Seven conference which was formed only four years ago from the old Twelve-School Rocky Mountain circuit today overshadowed an impending meeting of league officials in Denver Friday and Saturday. Reports of an expected "breakup" were circulated in Denver.

They related that such action would have three possible results: Utah, winner of the conference grid title three times in the last four years, might seek to join the Pacific coast league to replace either Montana or Idaho, the reports said, leaving the way clear for Colorado to seek affiliation with the Big Six to make a new Seven" of the mid-western loop now composed of Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State and Oklahoma. Denver university, another of the perennially-strong members of the Big Seven, would then be free to book an independent schedule including its traditional mountain rivals and more intersectional elevens. Other members of the Big Seven are Wyoming, Utah State, Colorado State and Brigham Young. Cause of the rumored breakup was said to be dissension from smaller colleges over the refusal of schools located in the larger cities Denver and Salt Lake City to play home and home games more often than every five years. May Change Date Of Pro League Meet WASHINGTON.

Nov. 25 (INS) George Marshall, owner of the Washington Redskins, today said that he will formally request the forthcoming pro football league meeting to hold the annual draft hi April instead of following the championship game next month. Marshall said that the draft should be postponed to simplify matters for the owners who, in drafting 1941 college stars now, run the risk of losing them to the Army. "If the draft meeting were held in April," Marshall said, "the owners would have more chance to look into the selective service status of the incoming college players. This year many of the players drafted by the league mere inducted into military service.

We would loss less of our draftees if we had a chance to check on them before we picked them In the draft." The champion pro grame will be played between ii.e New York Giants, eastern division winner and either the Chicago Bcats or the Green Bay Packers. open TO MEN LOSING THEIR HAIR!
