John, consensus All - American tackle In 1944 who has also gained a number of mythical national honors this season as well.

December 27; 1917 Fries Anxious For Ring Mix Salem's Hal Fries, the fusillad ing featherweight who in his 11 professional fights has notched 10 knockouts, had a Christmas mes sage for both the Salem Boxing commission - and Matchmak er Hutch Hutchinson yesterday. Fries wants to fight one Monty Montgomery here the night of Jan uary 7, and hopes both the com mish and ring maestro will see fit to make that match the main event. "I've lost only one fight profes sionally," offers Fries, "and it was to Montgomery. I want to fight him again and clean my record." Montgomery kayoed Fries in two rounds last summer in his native Klamath Falls. The Montgomery - Fries scrap was booked for the armory ring a month ago, but Montgomery was barred the day of the fight by the local commission when it was dis covered that he fought in Seattle the night before! The suspension by the commission still stands over the hard-hitting K-Falls boyt Dm u is possioie same win oe lin ed when and if steps are taken to insure his proper appearance. Matchmaker Hutchinson has for the past week been contemplating a 10-rounder between Fries and either Montgomery or the rough and rugged Paulie Cook of Ta coma.. i fearing it would slow his play- ers down for"--the Rose Bowl clash with Southern California. Historians pointed out, how ever, that when the first Michi gan team came here to play Stanford in 1902 the situation was the same cold at Ann Arbor, hot here and that Fielding H. Yost's "point a min ute" team used nary a substi tute and walloped the Stan fords.

Coach Jeff Cravath extended a cordial greeting, but assured the visitors they would see as little as possible .of his team in practice. One. thing was apr parent to the visitors the size of the Trojan squad. . alumni of Springfield are C. A. Kells, R. R. Boardman, Burton Crary, Carlton G raider and Gus Moore. Adrian (Jess) Swope, sopho more left tackle who usually backs up Ferraro, still is hob bling on a leg Injured in the Notre Dame game, while the other two players who know the left tackle assignments Jim Bird and Jay Perrln have been playing more on the right side of the line of late. Bird opened the season as No. S left tackle but Is now duo to start against the Wolverines at right tackle. Perrln, who weighs In at 300 pounds, also has been utilised as a right tackle reserve although he can play on the left side If absolutely necessary. He was a left tackle In the '46 Rose Bowl game against . Alabama and blocked a kick which produced a touchdown.

Interest In the league's 15th annual play-off between the western and eastern division champions, centers mainly around the possibility of an upset of the Cardinals, who twice previously this season de-feathered the Eagles quite handily. The unsentimental betting boys, making the Cardinals 12 point favorites on even money wagers, can't see a history-making title triumph for Philadelphia. - The championship game originally was booked for last Sunday, but was delayed a week when the Eagles and the Pittsburgh Steelers deadlocked for the eastern crown necessitating a playoff won by the Eagles 21-0. The weatherman however, has promised a generally fair climactic setting for the post-Christmas tussle and Comiskey park has been stepped In bay and canvas to assure good playing conditions.
