McDonald-Nelson, Ambrose

Are Headlines
Three six-rour.d matches will
climax the fight card to be given
at the Salem armory Friday night
under the promotion of Harry
Plant.
Two Salem boys will be featur
ed In six-round matches against
outsiders.
The final attraction of the eve
ning Is the match between Shrimp
McDonald of Corvaliis and Louie
Nelson of Portland, who will fight
it out In a six-round trek. These
' are the two that won from the
two Ambrose boys on the last fight
card here.
McDonald was about the clas
siest fighter on the urogram and
advanced against his opponent like
a resistless mechanical man. Nel
son Is perhaps less experienced,
but has more reach and appears
to have natural ability to hit and
follow up. '
Spike Gorman of Salem, who
has won his only two starts in this
section, will meet the well known
Bed Hayes of Stayton in another
of the six-round bouts Both of
these boys are strong with their
left hooks.
Young and Ambrose
Will Clash Again
Hayes worked out In Salem last
winter and appeared on a number
of cards here and other places. He
fought In a heady manner and
possessed plenty of punch, though
be usually slowed down in the fi
nal rounds. Gorman is an aggres
sive fighter and keeps coming all
the time. His trainer. Phil Bayes,
Is attempting 'to get him to sub
stitute boxing part of the time for
the habit of "wading in" all the
-while.
Jackie Young, the Slletz Indian
lad with the big punch, will meet
Buddy Ambrose In the other six
round duel. These boys have met
before sad waste no time in pre
liminary maneuvers. Buddie was
not In the best of condition for his
last fight . here, but has been
-working hard since that time and
-will be ready for the Indian lad.
Jackie Woods and Cy Landreth
-will meet In a four-round match
and two other four-round events
will be billed.

jor league club owners broadcast
threatening notes to radio sta

Chicago for their three-day bus

From almost every club owner
it was learned that two of the
most important proposals before
the meetings concerned the radio

casting from all major league
parks or to levy a heavy rental
charge on them for the privilege
and the extras through a plan to
cut the player limit from 25 to 22

Second division clubs were
strong for the plan to reduce the
player limit because it would ul
timately give them access to the
many players they could use on
tue field themselves. Furthermore
they figured that if every club
would reduce its squad from 25
to 22 men each league would

Unprecedented Death List

Revision is Likely

By ALAN GOULD
NEW YORK, Dec (AP) J
As a direct outgrowth of the ,
mounting total of football deaths,
now more than 50 per cent great- ,
er for 1921 than In any previous ,
year of the last quarter-century.
agitation over proposals for ruies
revision today became a nation
wide topic of debate.
College coaches taking cogniz
ance of the widespread concern-
resulting I from reports of 32
fatalities attributable to football
injuries, have taken the initiative
in proposing changes mat may
remove some of the physical risks.
reports to the Associated Press
indicated.
Fresh Impetus for new legisla
tion on the kickoff came from the
southwest, whero seven coaches
of this conference group united in
urging the abolishment of the
wedge formation used to protect
the ball carrier. It was on a kick-
off play that Cadet Richard B.
Sheridan of West Point was fat
ally injured in the game with
Yale, and in other instances death
or serious injury resulted from a
similar mass play.
Southwest Group
Is Against Wedge
The southeast group, in assert
ing belief that the elimination of
the wedge formation would -re-..
duce the number of Injuries, nev
ertheless shares the desire of the
vast majority to retain the kick- .
off Itself. Ray Morrison, South
ern Methodist coach and member
of the national football rules
committee described the wedge as
the most dangerous play In foot
ball. From the Big Ten, the Influ
ence of leaders also is cast against
the wedge. Fred Young, official,
regards the wedge as a "distinct
danger". Dick Hanley, North
western coach, believes its elim
ination "would lessen the change
of injury and still retain spectac
ular features." Burt Ingwersen of1
Iowa, chairman of the rules com
mlttee of. the American Football
Coaches' association, plans to
urge action against such 'mass
interference."
Kale Makers Will
Consider Problem
Tommy Mills of Georgetown
thinks the abolishment of the
mass formation or wedge so vital
that he would eliminate the kick
off altogether, if proper -safeguards
are not provided next year.
Dana X Bible of Nebraska.
former member of the rules com-,
mlttee, predicted the rule-makers
will go into the problem of the
wedge next spring and take any
necessary action prompted by a
thorough study of this year's rec
ords Bible added that Nebraska
does not use the wedge and that
so far as he was aware no injuries
from klckoffs occurred in the
Big Six conference this season.
Another authoratlve voice, that
of Dr. F. A. Lambert of Ohio
State rrominent official and ad
visor to the rules committee, mln
lmlzed the danger of Injuries on
kickoff plays, pointing out that
none occurred In 25 games he of
