0 MIDAY, JAN. iii, i f'r 7 THE MICHIGAN DAILY P ACV, VUF Joe Made 34, Favorite Over Pastor Tonight Gotham's Largest Crowd Of Season Will Watch 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.

Y THOMPSON LyNight Show 'Biff' Jones Is Named'llusker' 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. __ _._- _ - $10,000 Sent To Red Cross By A.
