Golden Bears settled their three-year gridiron debt with Georgia Tech today, defeating the Yellow Jackets ly to 6, after Southerners' last period drive had thrown a great scare into their ranks. Three years ago in the Pasadena Rose Bowl Georgia Tech downed the Californians 8 to 7 and early in today's game it appeared the coast team was bent on heavy revenge. But Tech's unexpectedly strong defense rose up to hold the bears scoreless for three periods after their quick opening touchdown. Tech Placed In Hole.

JOHN V. CLINNIN Chicago, 111., Dec. Boxing should be a lively industry in America during 1932. Several Important matches are pending, including defense of the world's heavyweight championship by Max Schmeling. While the era of the million-dollar gates has passed, at least until the return of business prosperity, the sport has prospects of one of its greatest years, both from a competitive and box office standpoint.

The year of 1932 looks favorable because champions in every division will be forced into action against the logical contenders. As a result there will be more interesting bouts. Max Troves Self A Champion Max Schmeling has proved himself a real champion and a popular one. Nevertheless, he must defend his title, i like every other champion, thru the policy of the National Boxing association, in demanding that champions fight. Boxing is in a highly favorable condition in public opinion.

There have been no scandals! No legislation against it. In fact, during the past year five additional states legalized the sport. There is an increasing movement to stage longer bouts, that IN BOW AS TULANE BOSS Tech in a bad hole on its nine-yard 3t to pags legislation to permit 15 line.

But for "Rusty" Gill and Hank Schaldach. the California backfield terrors, Georgia Tech might have won but between them these runners gain- we can be on a mere even competitive basis with New York in championship affairs. The law in New York provides for 15-round bouts. International Body Formed The outstanding achievement of the National Boxing association in 1931 was the formation of an international committee with full power to approve or disapprove all world's -championships and international contests.

This committee consists of one member from the National Boxing association, one from the Canadian Association of Boxing Commissions, one from the International Boxing union, and one Copyright.

"Dempsey-King Levinsky Battle Proposed." "Dempsey Says He's in Fine Shape, ready to Fight." Old Man Claus' face flamed red. He was plenty hot. His whiskers smoked at the edges.

"Confound It," his roar shaking the clouds so that a blizzard began blowing at Fargo, N. assuring a white Christmas for some people, "not a line about ME! Say, who is this guy Dempsey, anyway?" "This is Christmas eve," Santa bellowed, "and this bird Dempsey gets all the my big day, too, Who is he?"

Dec. of the principal reasons for the St. Louis Cardinals' spectacular drive to the top of the baseball world is seen in the official fielding averages of the National league for 1931, released today. The chief exponents of the revived brand of fast, "inside" baseball, made up for any deficiency at bat by leading the league in field- ng with a fine average of .9737 for the season. Sparky Adams, third sacker, was the only individual leader among the world champions.

It Is significant that the two best fielding clubs were one- two In the final league standing. The Cincinnati Reds, though last in club standing, ran a strong third in collective fielding with .9726 and tied their own major league record with 194 double plays. They also completed one of season's two triple plays, the Phillies turning In.

Brooklyn finished at .969, Pittsburgh with .968 and Philadelphia last with .966. Two Braves Are Leaders Boston ad the distinction of placing two leading fielders at their respective positions. Fred Maguire paced the regular second baseman with an average of .976 and Bob Worthington, serving his first full term in the majors, was the steadiest outfielder In the league with an average of .988.

He muffed only three out of 253 chances. Charlie Grimm, Chicago's veteran first" baseman, was he only player to lead his department in fielding for the second straight year. His average of .993 barely beat that of Boston's Earl Sheely, with .992. Sheely, Maguire to Minors Sheely, along with Maguire, will be with minor league clubs next season. Their hitting didn't match their fielding, In Manager McKechnie's opinion.
