Precedent-Shattering Bout Predicted When Louis And Baer Clash By PAUL SCHEFFELS f NEW YORK, Jan. 5 E) It may be presumptuous to compare Friday night's heavyweight title ' fight between Champion Joe Louis and Buddy Baer with such bygone pugilistic plums as the Flrpo-Dempsey Flrpo-Dempsey and Tunney - Dempsey encounters but if factual fight , history means anything, this con test may turn out to be the most precedent-shattering bout in the modern annals of the division. Although' Louis has already been in 20 heavyweight title fights and will mark up his 20th defense of the title he won from - Jimmy Braddock just four and - a half years ago when lie tangles with Baer for the second time, this bout defies tradition for several sev-eral rpasnnn To begin with it is being staged for the benefit of the -Naval Relief Re-lief Society and Louis is not lift- . ing a single cent other than training expenses from the proceeds. pro-ceeds. Such a gesture on the part of the owner of the most munificient title in sports is un-neard un-neard of and it's more to Louis credit that the move was agreed on lone before the United States went to war. Baer had originally scheduled - himself for 20 per cent of the gate, cut to 15 when war was declared and then voluntarily pared it to 12. Promoter Mike Jacobs will take nothing in the way of profits and Madison Square Garden is charging only half the usual rental. Should Baer win, he would set a precedent almost without equal in ring records. There were few actual heavyweight c h ampion . brother combinations, some records rec-ords say that Jem Ward of England Eng-land and his kid brother, .Nick, -neia irm uije in turn ana men, TrnH Mvpr unH hla arm TVm The receipts may account for still another record. The present indoor standard is $201,612 established estab-lished by Jack Delaney and Jimmy Jim-my If aloney 15 years ago next month. It will cost $20 for a ringside ring-side rail and other seats are scaled at $16.50 $11.50, $5.75, and 43.50. In seven appearances appear-ances at. the Garden, Louis has set an avearge draw of 19,000. It will be Baers second try for the title. Brother of Maxie took the crown from Primo Camera and then lost it to Braddock. Buddy Bud-dy knocked Louis out of the ring in the first round at Waahigton last May. The champion got back before "10" however, and at the finish Baer slumped on his stool between the sixth and seventh rounds, disqualified by Referee Arthur Donovan, his manger, An-cil An-cil Hoffman, refused to leave the ring.

Walter R. Okeson of Lehigh university, chairman of the committee, com-mittee, said that no formal announcements an-nouncements could be made until the end of the meeting but that it was the aim of delegates to keep rules of the game practically the same. This, he said will simplify competition com-petition at army camps, where college players will be familiar with the rules, and also make it easier for those players who may resume college competition after ending their service In the armed forces. Trainer Says Joe Better Than Ever By N'EA Service GREENWOOD, LAKE, N. Y., Jan. 5 Jack Blackburn contends Joe Louis is more formidable than ever. "The things that make a' good fighter slip are old age and failure to take care of himself," explains the veteran trainer. "Joe takes care of himself and will be no more than 28 on May 13. , "Joe has a lot more stuff than the boy I trained for Primo Car-nera Car-nera in 1935, or even.' for Jim Braddock in 1937, or the second Schmeling fight in 1938. "His left is better and he has improved his defense."

Utah State, Denver, and Colorado State are not figured to be title contenders although they will make plenty of trouble for the favorites. Colorado, perhaps, has been the most impressive in p re-season games, with Wyoming next. Brigham Young finished a 10- game preseason schedule by blast ing Nevada U, 77-44 Saturday night at Ely. The previous eve ning the Sons of Brigham trounced trounc-ed the Nevadans, 65-31. The Cougars won all of their 10 preseason games, but without doubt the competition was weak or mediocre. The Sons of Brigham Brig-ham didn't play a topnotch college team. The only really tough team they had scheduled, San Diego State, was forced to cancel the two games due to war-time activities. ac-tivities.

Allen of Kansas attributes this to the old professional game and the former money players now coaching along the Atlantic seaboard. "One-time professionals have not been able to &eep up with the collegiate game that permits screening," says Dr. Phog Allen, who was director of the 1936 ! Olympic team. "The old pros had a rule that if you did, it was a foul. "Not being -elastic and adaptable adapt-able enough, they still try to foist their antiquated ideas on the college game. "Of course, Jt would be silly for Ned Irish, the Madison Square Garden promoter, . to employ officials of-ficials who would not carry forth the concepts of the eastern coaches." Pointing Out ' that Dave McMillan McMil-lan of Minnesota is the only former for-mer professional coaching in the West, Dr. Allen stresses that the college-trained coacfh without professional pro-fessional experience has hi s players play the ball, which provides pro-vides more opportunity for scoring scor-ing and a ' more open game. As Dr. Allen contends, when you play the man you iave a five-man team wrestling match. The first principle of Dr. James Naismith, - who originated the game, was that each -player was entitled to his position on - the floor. ... ' v-'- The' rules, emphasize this point. Dr. Allen' quotes Nat Holman, famous 'professional now coaching coach-ing City College of New York, on blocking, which is a foul, according ac-cording to the rules: "Frequently an offensive player attempting to sidestep an. approaching defensive player; may cause contact. In such - cases the officials are to be guided solely by the apparent Intent of , the offensive player." V Dr. - Allen argues t that this unsavory un-savory and unworkable authority given to the officials certainly would not make the game anything any-thing but a guessing contest. He wants officials to call 'em as they see 'em. No more guessing games. "Just as soon as we encourage the use of set plays or key men to Check a player in pursuit of his opponent, we are t destroying one -of the fundamental factors of offense," writes Holman. This," declares Dr. Allen, "is la man. Allen now revises that estimate direct conflict with the majority thought of the . National Basketball Basket-ball Coaches Association, as well as the expressed statement of the Rules Guide." In Madison Square Garden this season, I have noted looks of utter bewilderment on the faces of western players after an eastern east-ern official had called a blocking block-ing foul. This difference in interpretation has developed Into ' more than a variation of technique. It has resulted in a whole new style and theory of play, something some-thing the founders of the game never intended. . Rule interpretations Should be standardized. As things stand, the West and East are playing almost al-most two different games. That's an unhealthy state. The boys ought to get together. FORMER AMERICAN TRACKSTER DIES NEW YORK.

For yesterday they blasted we strongest rival that could be sent against them the National league All-Star and footballs loss wiu be the army's gain. Thrilling Game The world professional champs won their 19th game in 20 starts, 35-24, , in the fourth annual pro-bowl pro-bowl same a contest shifted from Ixb Angeles to the snow-covered polo grounds and the 17,7Z3 per-. sons who paid ui.uou.e rto waicn them irlve 11.000.000 worth Of thrills for the money. The game had everything football can pro vide. . The stars, thanks to an inter cepted pass, got off to a 3-0 lead in the first period when ward --uii arched a 19-yard field goal. The Stars dominated the period but the . Bears really rolled when they warmed up in the second despite a slushy, slippery field which, almost bogged down the quick breaking plays on their potent ,T formation. First Sid Luckman pitched them to , the star 12 and a few plays later McAfee climaxed the 38-yard thrust by skipping to" a score from the four. A few .minutes later the same elusive McAfee picked up a Star punt on his 32 yard line and ran 68 yards for another score. Before the period ended Bill Osmanski raced an intercepted Star pass to the Star six and Bob Swisher scored on the second play. The half-time score was Bears 21, Stars 3. It looked as if the rout were on. but the fans reckoned without Baugh. His tall, red-jersied figure standing out against the snow like a candle on a birthday cake, Sammy tossed . 15 yards . to Perry Schwartz in the end zone for one score and five minutes later rifled a long pass to Bill Dewell over the goal for another to climax, a 59-yard drive In 11 plays and bring the score to 21-17. Then back came the Bears. Luckman pitched a pass of .his own, 45 yards to Ray Mc-Lean, and the . score ; mounted another seven points. Then in the fourth period,' after being held at the end of a 79-yard march, the Bears struck again. ' This touchdown also al-so came on a pass, young Bussey to Ken Kavanaugn but Baugh returned to the game, and- with his face streaming blopdlet 'er fly again.,. ., With two minutes to go the Stars moved from their 39 to the final touchdown. The Baugh to Schwartz combination was good for the score. The Stars, who have yet to win one of these1 pro bowl games, gained 17 first downs to 13 for the Bears, completed 15 of 33 passes for 161 yards and rushed for 94 more. The Bears clicked with eight of 19 passes for 156 yards and held the edge in rushing with 125. In 1938, the United States produced pro-duced 38,000,000 pounds of snuff.
