ma Five New Titleholders for 1 927 Foreseen by Lead ing Ring Promoter NEW YORK, Dee. 28. (AP) Taking his annual stance into the fistic book, Tex Rickard today predicted that fire new boxing champions will be crowned In 1327. The promoter. In a signed story published by the EreBlng World, nimed Mickey Walker, Pete Li tzo. Sammy Mandell and Char ley (PhJl) Rosenberg as the title holders he expects to see deposed, with a 8 accessor picked totUl the ffljitherwelght vacancy caused by th retirement of Kid Kaplan. Lt-thesame time Rickard defi naely committed liiraselt 'ft- a heavyweight promm In ' which Jck Dempsey will meet the wln nr of the promoter's elimination tournament to determine Gene Ttnney's nexf opponent. . ("Dempsey will return east the enjd of January and by July his opponents should have been es tablished," Rickard wrote. "By fiihting the best of the challenz- erjj he will be able to prove wheth er he has any chance against his cofiqueror.": " , ..' ; . iRiekard named Jack Sharkey and Jim Maloney, both of Boston, asl the outgtandlng heavyweight contenders, in addition to Demp se. ille qualified this, -however, byj adding there was a "strong likelihood that either Delaney xr Pdul'Iierlenbach uronld prove the bft of the kt.'i J'Gene Tunney -will take on the man who has proven himself the bept of the challengers'," added the promoter, "and I believe' the outcome will demonstrate that the conqueror of Dempsey Is a much greater exponent of the manly art than seems to be generally appre-ciited."

Is the strangler 'who took the lives of Mrs.' Florence Fithlah Monks in Seattle and Mrs. Blanche Myers in Portland, local police declare. The murders bear striking simi larity with the slaying of Mrs. Beta Withers, Mrs. Grace Fluke and Mrs. D. A. Grant, the other Portland women who are said to have been the victims of "the strangler." The striking feature in the deaths of the four Portland wom en and Mrs. Monks in Seattle is that in all cases the victims had offered rooms for rent, and that ih the case' of Mrs. Myers, it has been definitely established that her murderer had asked to be shown a room. The death tonight of Mrs. Har- pin m Kansas city, it i pointed out, bears a marked resemblance to the killing ot Mrs. Myers.- In both cases the room bore signs of a terrific struggle. In the Oregon and Washington deaths, txo possible motive for the murders-' has been advanced, po lice ascribing the work of a fiend, methodical in his madness, and ex ceptionally cuhning in, covering up his trail. In the Myers, case fingerprints of !the killer Were obtained. These, together with a description Of the strangler, have been broadcast by Portland police. In case similar prints are. found in Kansas City, the Pacific coast strangler will be definitely linked with the crimes there, they point oufc. Chas. K.

Each team had a first string man ailing Gordon Holmes, star center for the Tide, and ;Biff Hoffman ,giant back field man of Stanford. - Both,' however, 'were expected in condition for at least part of the game. Homes who suffered an appen dix ailment was left at El Paso, Texas, was reported much improv ed -and probably will get in the game. Hoffman, limping on a somewhat deficient ankle was in a sait calling signals and no one seemed worrying about him not playing. Coach Glenn Warner of the West's entry put his men through a stiff workout in their silk pants and when he had them puffing hard took the mover to their hotel and delivered a long lecture on the fatal consequences of over-confidence. ' Warner's men took over the bowl during the morning. Coach Wallace Wade, pilot of the Ala bamans, locked up the gates tightly at 1:30 this afternoon while his outfit did its stufr. The Order will be reversed tomorrow, Alabama in the forenoon and Stanford in the afternoon. , George Bogue, who carried the ball much of the time for Stan ford. spent practically all morning kicking goals from every angle of the field. Much time was used in working on' the placement kick on the lry After touchdown -position. This extra point demonstrated its im portance when Stanford won the Western conference championship by- that margin over Southern California. Wade indicated he would start Pearce at center in stead of Holmes but that the lat ter probably would be used during the game if he recovers from his illness. Applications still were being re ceived by Tournament of Roses officials for tickets to the big game.'

Charley (Phil) Rosenberg's much discussed bantamweight title bout with Bushey Graham of UJticaT.N. Y., as fixed today for Jan: 14 at Madison Square Garden after several more chapters had been added to tlie verbal debate over it, 1 : Having refused to go through with the fight January 7. and re questing an extended postpone ment. Rosenberg was hailed before the state athleuc commission to day and put on the official scales. He weighed 129, partly dressed, and the boxing solons decided this amounted to 125, stripped.
