!T0 FIGHT PRIMO
I IN MIAMI FEB. 22
; By Herbert W. Iturker
N5W YORK, Dec. 16 W) - Jack
Dempsey's efforts to break the
monopoly MudJaon Square Oarclen
long haa held on, the heavyweights
had met with a decided setback to
day as Tommy Loughran continued
negotiations looking toi a title match
with Prlmo Camera at Miami Feb. 22.
Dempsey still has one leading con
tjender under his wing. Max Bacr, and
ueems w nave bao uwup ww;it w.
another. Max Schmeting. but Loggh-
ran's return to the garden fold has
Just about ruined the old champion1
plans.
j Although no contracts have been
signed, the Loughran-Carnera bout
was considered definitely "In. par-

around to the garden and talk terms
but expected to make ft) today before
returning to Italy on the same boat
that brought him here yesterday
morning.
Camera, interviewed on his arrival,
made It clear that he was ready to
fight Loughran anywhere, any time
bo the garden should have no trouble
from that quarter, especially since the
champion already la under contract
for a title defense under garden pro
motion. Loughran wants the fight
too but has -been holding out for a
little bigger cut than the 12'3 per
cent usually awarded the challenger.
. The veteran Phlladelphlan, how
ever, Is not likely to lei a few dol
lars stand In his way. He's convinced
he can whip Camera and win the
heavyweight title. He's never had
much trouble with the over-sized
heavyweight Ilk Vlctorlo Coin polo
and Ray Impellltlers.
UNIFORM BASEBALL
FOR BIG LEAGUES
By William Weeke
. CHICAGO, Dec. 15 P) -- Baseball
affairs today were the property of
the hot stove leaguers for a long win
ter of discussion as to who had tho
better' of It In a record threo days of
trading.
The annual major league meetings
closed last night, with a decision by
the magnates to adopt a uniform bull
for both big circuits and as many
minor organizations as can bo
brought Into line. The question of
radio broadcasting failed to come up I
for official consideration and the
clubs will go on for another year,
handling the problem as tlicy see fit.
A discussion of Sunday double
headers ended In a compromise. It
was decided to ban the synthetic
holiday programs until after Juno 15
Part of the owners wanted the ques
tion to remain strictly one for the
clubs to decide, while others fnvorod
prohibiting them until after July 4.
John B. Shi be, vice president of
the Philadelphia Athletics, was voted
permission to recruit an all-star team
from the American -league to make, a
world tour after the 1934 campaigns

the next 18 montlis, he said.
Another sales tax was passed, elim
inating most of the objectlonoble fea
tures of. the tax beaten at the lost
election. Senator Kiddle said. The
tax was passed In the closing hours
of the legislature and this was pos
sible only when it became apparent
no other relief seemed available for
the schools. All the money from the
tax goes toward the relief of dis
tressed schools, he said, and this sum
also serves as an offset on property
taxes in the school districts affected
"100 per cent," he said.
Senator Kiddle said the bus and
truck bill was remedied so as to meet
the objections of little truck owners
nnd farmers, and as amended seems
to satisfy all the different trucking
classifications.
The 20-day session was productive
of moro major legislation than any
other similar legislative period," he
said. "Due to the short time avail
able, the legislators settled down
earnestly to study out the big prob
lems confronting them, and accom
plished the major purposes for which
the governor convened the special
session." 1

STANFORD FEARS
COLUMBIA GRID
TEAM-HONEST!
By W. A. Wells
? PALO ALTO, Oal. (M Those who
believe Stanford picked a weak op
ponent when Columbia was chosen to
represent the east in th New Year's
day game at Pasadena can tell It
to the world If they wi&li, but not
to the seven scrappy sophomores and
their teammates who toppled South
ern California from the coast foot
ball Throne. Coaches Tiny Thornhli:
and Ernie Neveru wont let them:
"We're not fooled by the talk about
Columbia's lack of strength." said a
spokesman for th university, "It
would be a great thing for eastern
prospects If that Idea could be got
ten across to our team, which got
its right to represent the west by
sneer iigni ana the will to win.
"It would be great psychology and
it probably would defeat Stanford,
but we're not going to forget for a
minute that before the selection of
the eastern team was announced we
got nothing but glowing reporttj on
the prowess of Coach. Lou Little's ag
gregation." '
Captain Bill Corbus, Assistant
Coaoh Nevers and several of the first
string men were present.
Erulo Expects 1 tittle t
"The boys know they've got a bat
tle on their hands," said Nevers.
"They know Columbia Is not weak
but finished the season one of the
strongest teams In the country. They
know or should know what Coach
Little can do wlthj even fair material.
If any member of the Stanford team
thinks Columbia l not a worthy foe
he'll have the idea out of, his head,
1 hope, before, the game starts.
"It would 'be fat headed to think
a team which can snap out of a 20
to 0 licking ,by Princeton and then
win five games In a row Is a weak
team.
"Take our own case. Northwestern
checkmated three or more of our
scoring chances and held us to a tie
in the early season, but week by
week we improved until at the end of
the season we licked Southern Cali
fornia and California after spotting
both teams what looked like a safe
lead."
Head Coach, Thornhill, who in his
first year In the position vacated toy
Glenn S. "Pop" Warner brought his
charges through a tough schedule
with only one defeat to win a tie for
the conference championship, has
modified the style of play that War
ner instituted in 1924.
It remains fundamentally the
"Warner system," but It has been
simplified. Where Warner went on
the theory sufficient manpower was
not available to cope with Southern
California's superabundant material
and that deception must be the basic
strategy. Thornhill took a contrary
view.
Good blocking was his cardinal
principal. He discarded many of the
intricate rover sea and simplified other
plays whloh had required delicate
timing. Formations remained virtual
ly the same, with a double wing
back lineup predominating. Thorn
hill's forte Is the line and he has
centered his efforts on it. To Nevers
and Jimmy Lawson he entrusted most
of the back field coaching and pass
defense.
Cards Are Versatile
On offense Stanford cannot be
classed as either a ground or an aer
ial team, for It has appeared equally
strong in either department. Against
Southern California It was Bill Cor
bus' kicking and effective passing
which won. Against California it was
the ability to break a set of speedy
backs Into the open.
It will be Stanford's first game in

The year previous Stanford and Ala
