PAGE FIVE Championship Match Tonight At Ro-She Jackie Burke Risks Welterweight Title in Fight With Talented Dee Johnson, Salt Lake Knockout King In one of the outstanding fistic attractions of the season here, Jackie Burke, intermountain welterweight wel-terweight boxing champion, will risk his title in a ten-round bout with Dee Johnson, kayo king of Salt Lake City, tonight at Park Ro-She. Burke is a fighting champion, a knockout artist good enough to knock over all comers and to win the approval of Jack Kearns, Jack Dempsey's former manager, who is attempting to add the Ogden youth to his stable. Strangely enough. Dempsey, who long ago declared a feud with Kearns, is attempting to get hold of Johnson, but is awaiting word as to his showing against Burke Monday before making plans to get Johnson back to New York City. Al Anderson of Salt Lake City, who represents Dempsey's interests in-terests here, will be at the ringside ring-side getting an eyeful of the former for-mer Fountain Green fighter with the dynamite right hand, who has knocked out 19 of his last 21 opponents. op-ponents. Burke, too, possesses a lethal punch and like Johnson, fights with both hands. Johnson uses a left jab and a left hook effectively effective-ly and has made many of his kayoes with a thunderous right cross. Jack Brentano, popular and able Canadian welter champion, returns to the intermountain country Monday Mon-day for a bout with Henry Jones. In addition there will be 12 rounds of preliminaries, including a bout between Arcade Pierce, heavy-fisted Springville youth, and Billie Dale. Burke's sparring partner.

Open Up Grid Subsidizing, Vote Editors Sports Editors Do Not Favor Outright Salaries, But Some Payment. NEW YORK, Jan. 13 tt".I! Subsidization of college football players should be brought into the open, in tne opinion oi a majuiuj of the nation's sports editors. Of 185 who answered the quest-, quest-, ion: "Should college football play-eis play-eis openly subsidized, rather ' than secretly," 123 voted yes and 1 62 no. j Many who favored open sub-I sub-I sidization stressed they did not f believe outright salaries to gridiron grid-iron stars should be the medium. Instead, they believed that in return re-turn lor the profits he helps bring a college, the football players should be openly remunerated with a scholarship, meals, lodging and a job. One editor expressed the sentiment senti-ment if dozens when he said: "Players HhouW be openly subsidized, sub-sidized, but only to the extent of their being given an opportunity to provide their own tuition, board and room with free board and room provided them during the gridiron season and real work afterwards, but not to the extent that it will interfere with their scholastic am hit ions." Morrt of the editors favoring open .subsidization frowned upon actual salaries. Several editors suggested that "it would not be a bad idea for players to forfeit their scholarships scholar-ships and other privileges should they fall below a certain academic grade." The negative votes mostly stressed that, given subsidization, college football would develop into in-to a purely professional game which would lose favor with the fans. "There culd never be 100 per cent open subsidization." one writer declared. "If such a plan were carried out, students could not regard the football players as bmther students." Another said: "If open sub- ; .dizntion were adopted, football would lose its glamor. People still think i f cloven boys out there on the field fighting their hearts out for dear old alma mater."

All signs point toward a nip-and-tuck battle for the western division championship this season. Although the title-holding Utah Aggies are on top of the division with two victories over the Utes last week, they failed to show the form that carried them to a flag last year and may run into a big surprise at Montana this week. The Redskins kept close on the Aggies) heels in both games and only a mighty spurt in the last few minutes of Saturday's game brought that contest out of the fire. The Utes were 7 points ahead with ten minutes to go. At Bozeman, the Cougars discovered dis-covered that advance notices of the Bobcats' strength had not overestimated matters. Zupan, forward for-ward and center, was the principal princi-pal scoring power in the two-point victory of Saturday night.
