Louis FightIn Garden
By ALAN GOULD
NEW YORK, Jan. 28.-(MP)-Chief-
ly because of evidence that Joe Louis
can be "tagged" with a right hand,
New York's latest heavyweight bidder
for fame and fortune, curly-haired,
rugged Bob Pastor, is conceded a
long-shot chance by fight critics to
upset the Brown Bomber tomorrow
night in Madison Square Garden.-
Attracted by this prospect, remote
as it may be, Cauliflower Alley wit-
nessed a mild flurry of wagering to-
day that chopped the odds to 3 to 1
in favor of Louis.
Fight writers were nearly unan-
imous in picking Louis to win by a
knockout in the early stages of the
10-round match. However, they were
equally of the opinion that Pastor is
no "set-up," that his aggressiveness
assures plenty of action as long as
the bout lasts, and that the Dusky
Dynamiter no longer is the "sure
thing" he seemed before being flat-
tened by Max Schmeling last June.
Advance Sale Lags
The fight will draw the winter's
biggest crowd to the Garden, but
likely will fall short of the 19,000
capacity. The advance sale lagged
somewhat today. However, at a top
price of $16.50 for ringsiders, Match-
maker James J. Johnston said $50,000
was in the cash box and predicted
the "gate" would touch $100,000.
Pastor and Louis are the same age,
22, but the Negro has had far great-
er experience as a headliner and pos-
sesses other advantages, including
around 18 pounds in weight and a
knockout wallop in either hand.
Only the hunch-players have much
inclination to share Johnston's per-
sistent prediction that Pastor not
only will "tag" Louis with right-
hands but actually put the crusher
on the Bomber.
The former New York University
fullback is apparently much more
confident of himself than most of
Joe's opponents, but his aggressive-
ness hardly figures to offset his com-
parative inexperience against a hitter
of the Negro's calibre.
Both Former Amateurs
Pastor bowled over the giant, 238-
pound Ray Impellittiere in seven
rounds in his last match. Like Louis,
the ex-collegian is a product of ama-
teur ranks, a former Golden Glover,
who has developed rapidly since
turning professional.
Since being whipped by Schmeling,
the Detroit Negro has registered five
knockouts. All told, this involved
only 14 rounds of activity within th
ring. Jack Sharkey, Al Ettore, Jorge
Brescia, Eddie Simms and Stanley
Ketchell have been the Bomber's
comeback victims. He took only 26
seconds, including the final count,
to dispose of Simms, who knocked
Pastor down six times in a match
fought a year ago last November.
The main bout, slated for 10 p.m.,
will be broadcast over WMAC.
'Nooul' Rule
Features Ross,
Manf redo Bout
DETROIT, Jan. 28.-(/P)-Barney
Ross, welterweight champion, and Al
Manfredo of Fresno, Calif., welcomed
the new "no-foul" ruling by State
Athletic Board Chairman Frank Mac-
Donell. The fighters meet tomorrow
night at Olympia in a ten-round non-
title bout.
MacDonell made his "no foul" rul-
ing, applicable to all Michigan rings,
earlier in the day, and ordered in alp
fightcontracts a requirement that
boxers obtain for themselves what-
ever protection they deem best, which
also is satisfactory to the Board in
Control.
"The so-called 'no-foul' rule is be-
ing established in Michigan to pro-
tect the public," MacDonell said. "It
already is in force in New York and
Wisconsin and their experience with
it is that it's a good one.
"Detroit's worst fistic fiasco took
place the night that Jackie Fields
and Joe Dundee met for the welter-
weight championship. The match
terminated in a foul.
"Dundee, the champion and the
man who committed the foul, had
nothing to worry about. He had been
paid $50,000 in advance."
MacDonell said he had issued in-
structions to all referees that when-
ever a fighter goes to the canvas,
even while claiming a foul, the count
shall start.

Attending the State-Michigan swimming meet brought back memories
of last Christmas in Lansing when I was sworn to secrecy on a Bible and
then told the story of how and by whom the stadium goal posts were hack-
sawed three-quarters of the way through two nights before the football game
with the Spartans last fall . . . I would suggest that some student organi-

Answer To A Cot-respondent ...
IT IS ABOUT TIME I recognized a bit of correspondence I received the
other day concerning the statement I made that Yale would probably
win the National A.A.U. indoor swimming championships in the absence of
the Michigan team . . . Now I am quite sure that the Eli team will not
win . . . Lake Shore A.C. of Chicago will win despite the fact that Art High-
land has turned professional . . . That is, if Adolph Kiefer leaves Tex Rob-
ertson and Texas University long enough to come north and compete
for Lake Shore . . . New York A.C. is out of serious consideration now that
Leonard Spence has deserted the amateurs . . . Peter Fick cannot win a meet
± alone . . . The Detroit A.C. has lost Degener, Haynie and Johnny Schmieler

But I still believe that the Michigan team of next semester could win the
A.A.U. championships with relative ease . . . Comparative times will bear
me out by the time March rolls out . . . I am certain of that ... This morn-
ing's sport page is under the editorship of Betsy Anderson from Helen New-
berry and Salt Lake City ... She's carrying on where Marge Western, now
of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, left off . . . Matt Patanelli is leading the Big
Ten cagers in personal fouls . . . He has committed 20 in six Conference

of his bouts this season by falls . . . He looks like the coming Big Ten
E champion at 155 pounds . .. And the possibility of a national title for the
newly-married Massachusetts yachtsman is far from being a pipe dream.

'Biff' Jones Is

Football Coach
Gets Five-Year Contract;
Replaces Dana X. Bible
As Athletic Director
LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 28.-(k')-
Major Lawrence M. "Biff" Jones, vet-
eran army officer and football coach,
was announced today as the succes-
sor to Dana X. Bible as head football
coach and athletic director at the
l University of Nebraska.
- Bible only recently accepted a po-
sition as athletic director and foot-
ball coach at the University of Texas.
The colorful Jones, 41, and a top-
ranking coach for 16 years, said he
would resign from the army to ac-
cept the position, which was offered
to him only last Saturday in a secret
conference at Kansas City.
Army regulations specifically pre-
vent an officer from coaching foot-
ball while on detached service with
R.O.T.C. units. This interpretation
of the regulations was made a couple
of years ago shortly after Jones had
signed a contract to coach at the
University of Oklahoma.
The rule, at first, did not apply to
officers with unfulfilled contracts, but
a later ruling made it necessary for
Jones to abrogate his contract with
Oklahoma at the end of the current
year. Jones had been appointed to
the Army Command School at Fort
Leavenworth, Kas., effective some-
time this year.
Sports followers were surprised
that Jcnes would abandon his army
career, in view of the Command
School appointment, to accept the
Nebraska job.
University officials refused to dis-
close the terms of the five-year con-
tract which lured Jones from one
Big Six school to another, but sources
close to the athletic board hinted the
salary was probably the same offered
Bible eight years ago----$10,000 the
first year, $11,000 the second and
$12,000 the third.
