By Ed Hughes There's No Real Need Of Such a Title Bout In the Near Future Past Season Makes Football Purist Look Like Carping Critic By GEORGE CUHBIE Percy Haughton it was or perhaps Knute K. Rockne or Glenn Scoby Warner or some other famous coach who once remarked that in football there was no such thing as the "perfect play." If the attack goes through, to begin with, it must take advantage of a mistake by the defense, provided the two teams are fairly evenly matched and the scoring team is not poinding out its touchdowns on sheer brute power.

However, one saw a few plays this year that looked close enough to perfection, even if the purist In football would insist It should be labeled the "al- By ED HIGHES M' AX SCHMELINO, "Old Liederkranz," is in again, though not by either his or the customers' choice. The Boxing Commission has cabled the synthetic heavyweight champion on the Rhine that unless he signs to fight Jack Sharkey within 15 days he'll probably be relieved of his questionable laurels, but into whose hands the receivership would go was not stated. All this is no doubt disquieting to the phony king of the heavies, who is unpopular even in his own Rhineland. Still, It is much tougher news for the fans, even the horrible prospect of going all through another Sharkey-Schmeling thing next summer, or any other summer. "Old Liederkranz," though technically the winner of the kingly mantle worn by I such worthies as Sullivan, JefTries, Fitzsim-'.

And as for Sharkey, the gentleman is still remembered as the gent i i 1 1 1 i It's Never Too Cold For Mite McVeigh If Red Light Warms Him By HAROLD C. BVRE Perhaps the worst afternoon' Rabbit McVeigh ever passed through was upon his arrival in England with the Canadian Expeditionary Forces. One of the best evenings of his hockey life was spent last night at the Garden when he shot two goals himself and assisted at the.

third, thus lighting every red light that blazed a block from Broadway. While waiting to be sent across to France the Rabbit one afternoon went for a stroll along the famous white cliffs of Dover. He sat down to rest and while resting fell asleep.

Although there were three games played In the world' professional pocket billiard championship tour ney at Dwysr'8 Broadway Academy yesterday, onl" one man changed his relative position.

That was Frank Taberski, former champion, and pop ularly known as the Silver Fox, due to his thatch of gray hair. He moved into fourth place, definitely, marking the cl'max of a gallant nght to get into the money after bad start in this tourney. The mechanics of climb up the ladder was his triumph over Tommy Boatman, 125 to 84, In 14 Innings and Erwln Rudolph's victory over Arthur Woods, 5 to 108, in 33 innings. Woods has now fin ished all his games, having won three and lost four. Tied with him for fifth place Is Bennie Allen, an other former champion, who also got off to a bad start In this tourney but hag been climbing ever since.

He beat Pasquale Natalie, 125 to 80, in 23 innings. The game between Allen and Na-talle produced no records or near-records but was a clean affslr filled with good play. Allen's high run was 28 and Natalie's 31. Taberski's victory over Roatmsn wa more conclusive. piled up a good lead end held li it.

His high run was 28. Boatman's hicrh run was 18. RlDOLPirg STAMINA For the second dav in Rudolph won an exceedingly tough game.

Ralph Oreenleaf plays the evening game against Onofrlo Laurt Ralph must win this game to get a shot at the title. Even then he will have to defeat Rudolph In two games. Ordinarily that would be no great task for Oreenleaf.

but he Is not In that kind of trim these days. Those who know on Broadway are betting on Rudolph. It seems logical, too, since Rudy has won six straight garnet and teems to be feeling his oats. The only other game today Is between Taberski tnd Natalie. JOIIANN DEFEATED Joseph R.

Were "Old Liederkranz" and the Boston Loudspeaker brought together for a battle tomorrow night it is doubtful whether such a show would make expenses. The lan usually has a mighty short memory lor anything, and his gullibility belongs with the psychic pnenomena o' all time. However, unless I'm mistaken, neither Max nor Jack has been for-gotten for what they proved themselves on a certain night in June last summer.

1 Forlorn Performance Srhmclinir in almost four rounds tii fishting proved to be one of the crudest and clumsiest specimens that evpr posed as a scrapper of championship material. Save for a couple of vazrant raps to Sharkey's chin. "Old Liederkranz" was nothing. more than an animated punching bag for the ex-deck-scrubber throughout the entire bout. Schmeling's attempted Imitation of Jack Dempsey's weaving and bobbing tactics was about the most forlorn exhibition this writer has witnessed between ropes.

Wherever his broad, raven-topped dome bobbed Mr. Sharkey's fist was unfailingly on the spot for a painful connection. "Old Liederkranz" must have been outsorted something like ten to one whn he received a punch below the belt ht gave him his chance for an "out." The so-called fnul which terminated this expensive piece of knuckle entertainment has been repeated hundred nt times since that memorable niht In scores of New ork without ending a battle.

CAN'T TELL GEORGIA THIS WASN'T PERFECT A balmy October afternoon In the Yale Bowl. Georgia, In white sweaters with red brassards woven into the arms so that the Southern Bulldogs looked like a Stanford team In action, taking the field, with little Austie Downs, 150 pounds of cayenne pepper quarterback, clapping his hands, urging his teammates on.

Yale gallops out on the field. Last year Georgia beat the Northern Bulldog in a dedication of the stadium at Athens. 11 smells revenge and is keen for it. White-helmeted and blue-shirted, the Ells roll somersaults on the turf, shaking out the kinks. They line up, Yale kicking off from the 40-yard line.

The ball sails low, fast, wobbly, while all Vale yells. It comes down to the 21-yard line. Downs is under it. He catches it. Like a pea out of a Van-shooter he is off, aiming for the middle aisle between the sidelines.

White sweaters swarm around and ahead of him. They drive the downcom-Ing Yale forwards apart and out. They go on to spill a couple of men hanging back. And out of what seems to be a hopeless chaos Downs emerges, the ball tucked under his arm, bare legs rising and falling life triphammers. While Yale undergraduates and alumni sit stunned and silent, he scampers over the goal line for a touchdown.

Rebel yells break out from the sunlit stands across the field. An "almost perfect play." DENY THIS ONE ahw rMJii nni Another balmy afternoon, this time in Cambridge. Army, its gilt helmets flashing in the sun like the headgear of Greeks before the walls of Troy. Eleven rangy, big, fast men In crimson, with wide crimson streaks of elastic web bing running down their rant' legs, faces eager under red head guards. Army slowly works Its way to about Harvard's 30-yard line.

There the Cadet machine seems to stall, fizzle out, go poof, like a wet can- rnn erarlrr. The teams line up. The ball comes back to Herb. He spins about with a wlngback running by and going on, faking the act of tucking the ball under his arm The Harvatd defense sees that run ning back. A Crimson guard grins.

He knows that one. He pulls out and gives chase, while hit second arles think the same way. He doesn't ttop to think that Army is letting him pull out. Herb shoots through the hole, all the way to a touchdown, with only Ben Ticknor hanging on to his legs as he falls ever the goal line. Ear-splitting rejoicing from a suddenly alive wall of Blue Gray, where the Cadet Corps Is parked on the other side of the stadium.

Another perfect play." BUT DON'T MENTION THI8 AT PRINCETON The scene shifts to Princeton. The Tigers, backs and ends biasing in orange headgear, running Yale off Its feet, with Eli in an astonished panic. The Blue finl team it yanked out of the play, to rest up. It trots, or itaggeri, off, bewilderment writted all over its faces. Th- Prince, ton team, about by everybody all season, h-s turned like the worm In the proverb.

It Is acting like th? mouse that got mad and ate up the lion. The second-string barks trot In. Atnd a lot of tecond-strln linemen. Suddenly the ute substitutes develop the same superiority complex which Princeton had been showing to the Yale first team. They get down on Prlnc.

28-yard line. Left-handed Taylor drops back, the ball held up, behind his left ear, hit right arm straight out, ready to ward off any tackier coming through. Red-headed Sullivan gallops hell-fer-leathcr and get behind the Princeton safety man. The ball sails through the air. Sullivan puts up his hands.

The bail nestles into hit like a bird coming home to its nest. Another stride, he Is over the line and the game is taved for Ell. Cireat noises from the Yale itmd. Yet another "almost perlect THIS REI.Y WAS ALMOST PERFECT" Next we go to Chicago. Soldier Field colonnade It shea ted In ice.

For 5fl'4i minutes what was probably Notre Darnel greatest team has banged and grun rd and slipped and pushed Army, getting nowhere when getting up and going placet meuni touchdowns. The electrically lighted scoreboard still sayt 0-0 Over 100,000 sit, wet, shivering, teeth chattering, chilled to the marrow. A scoreless tie seems set to become the fate of that hard, defensive battle. Suddenly Bi len.

He has been told that Army men are leaving their positions to follow O'Brien, the end who catches forward passes. The ball goes to Schwartz, through the long side he trots, with Army end wiped out, tackle driven in. halfback put out of the play.

And down the field he gallops for 54 yards and the touchdown that wins the game. The crowd yelps with. relief, gloats over what comes closest of all this year to "the perfect play." A moment later King of Army hat blocked Carideo's kik and Trice has scored a touchdown. Two major thrills In less than two minutes at the end of a game that was almost the perfect defensive battle of the year. THE ONES THAT BRING TEARS, NOT CHEERS There were other plays of that sort.

Ray Stecker's run fjr a touchdown against Navy, for Instance; Colgate's touchdown against N. Y. the Violet's own touchdown in that charity game. They stick out among IBM football memories. But there were also plays that deserved to be almost perlect but which failed.

There was, for in stance, Kirn's catch of an Army punt and wide lateral pass to Williams, only to have him turn with an open held before him and fall flat on his face. There was Barry Wood's pass to Vic Harding in the Army-Harvard game that missed the Crimson end grasp by the margin of a knuckle. There was luckless Johnny Scala of Georgetown, standing on ths back-line of the end zone, trying to punt his team out to safety, with the score in the N. Y. U.

game 0-0. Johnny drew his foot back over the line and scored an automatic safety and lost the game, 2-0. In a pelting rain, through a sea of mud, Har ard blocks a Dartmouth punt. The ball bounds fast into the end zone. Ben Ticknor flying In its wake.

He dives and drapes himself around It, but he is outside the end zone. The touchdown he almost had that might have tied the game becomes, instead, an automatic safety, i Trix Bennett drives his rejuvenated Princeton team down to Yale't 1 '-j -yard line. He needs about two feet on a fourth down to make it, with a touchdown almost sure to follow. He takes the ball and dives Into the Blue line. He makes all but six inches.

A moment later the game is over. Corn. II, down the field against Columbia, after Hewitt had put the Blue euu fairly safe and ahead with a dropklck at an angle from the 63-yard line. On down they come, bent upon a touchdown to win. Vivlano and Handlc-mann, whacking the tackles behind a line, suddenly getting a lift that Columbia cannot halt.

The Big Red Team biles off the distance, yards at a time. The Blue and White Is on the run. But so is the clock. A football game Is fought out In 60 minutes of play. Cornell and the game die out down around the 15- yartj line.

i Hughes heavyweight championship bout between Schmeling and Sharkey, or between any one else for that matter? The boxing commission might do better to rescind temporarily its iron ruling that a champion must agree to defend his honors within six months and institute a little exporting in efficiency. Boxing and the public can worry along without a heavyweight championship until performers appear who really can and will fight. There isn't a heavyweight in sight today worthy of championship rating or the financial support that goes with it. So why try to force the hand of nature? Why not make such an announce-ment, leaving things exactly as they are, inasmuch as no one cares who is the technical champion, they all being Well, what do you call 'em? N. Y.

Four gentlemen, representing the best that the sport has, will swing racquets and bat balls for the right to piay in the final round on Sat urday afternoon.

Two of the contestants tomorrow are the idols of the Crescent A. Ed Larigan and "Stubby" O'Connor. Fortunately they are ut against each other, but it may be to their misfortune that they will meet the national champion and the former champion in their matches. Larigan will take the court with Harry F. Wolf, the hard-Hitting, relentless champion, who takes his squash very seriously and who is often carried away by the tension of the match.

O'Connor will have to contend with Rowland' C. Haines the Lord Chesterfield of the courts and three times winner of the national title. Both matches will be of great Importance to squash critics who declaim loud and long in the locker room after each match. Wolf is not very anxious to lose his national title and every match he plays he wants to win. Haines Is also very willing to assume his old place as No.

1 man in the sport. If he gets to the final round It will be the second time that Wolf and Haines have met this year. In the foil scratch tournament at the Columbia Club Wolf won out In a very derisive match. What will happen if the pair meet again Is another question. Good Aqnath Is Premised But on Thursday it rests with the Crescent pair to determine the finalists Wolf has been playing unbeatable squash all season, while Larigan has been engaging in many close matches which would Indicate that he Is not quite up to hit old game.

His best stroke is the back hand wallop, which he employs In sinking the ball dead in the left rear corner. Against a player like Wolf. Larigan will be too busy trying to return the ball to get over his placements. Haines had a real tough match with Pat Cohalan yesterday, but. of course.

Haines has long been noted for his easygoing spirit in tournament maUhes other thn the national championship. Haines likes to play squash and to get all the fun out of It he can. He had a good time with Cohalan. who played well to hold Haines to three games. Connor is in good condition this year and his match with Haines should be one of the oert of the O'Connor took 'lungs easy with Fred Walters, the young Prlneetrmlan.

A BROWN PLL'ME GOES INTO ACTION So let me pass on to a happier and more peaceful scene. It's a cold Tuesday night at the Oar-den. The Americans are playing the Quakers. It's cold In the seats behind the dasher and up In the mezzanine and gallery. The crowd is small and doesn't distill enough animal warmth to heat up the place.
