MADISON SQUARE GARDEN,
New York. Feb. 9 Thunderous boos
shake Madison Square Garden when
announcement made that Heavyweight
Champion Joe Louis had retained his
title after being forced to back-pedal
for most of the 15 rounds against
Challenger Arturo Godoy of Chile.
Godoy, the roughest, toughest man
that Louis ever met, turned in one of
the greatest upsets in heavyweight
history by his amazing showing
against the Negro champion who had
knocked out seven of his previous title
challengers.
The crowd of 15,657 cash customers
shook the garden with ovation after
ovation for the heroic son of a Chilean
fisherman who not only dared to ex
change blows with the Negro cham
pion but actually forced the Brown
Bomber about the ring in every round
except the 14th, when Arturo elect
ed to clown and make sport of one of
the most feared men the ring has
known.
The champion won the decision, but
it was a split verdict in which two
judges favored Louis and the third
voted for Godoy.

FIRST PLACE TIE
WILL BE BROKEN
IN GAME TONIGHT
Glamack And Price
Are Carolina, Duke
Scoring Standouts
By SHELLEY ROLFE
Bill Lange's White Phantoms, who
move from week to week and important
game to important game in an unpre
dictable manner calculated to bring
gray hairs to the heads of all their
supporters, come up for their biggest
test of the season tonight, meeting Duke
m Woollen gym at 8:30. The Devils
and Carolina are tied for first place
in the Southern conference basketball
race with eight wins and one defeat
apiece.
Duke will be favored for the simple
reason that it is easier to move a
mountain than to tell which way Caro
lina will bounce on any one evening.
In successive games the Phantoms will
either resemble something too horrible
to mention or display in polite court
society or else look like the best team
in the country.
The Blue Devils have managed to
keep an even keel all season. There is
never any doubt that the Dukes will
turn in a well-ordered performance. So
far this winter they have beaten State,
Davidson and Wake Forest of the Big
Five, plus Clemson, The Citadel and
Maryland. Duke has only lost four
games this year, dropping contests to
Oklahoma A and M, Baltimore, Penn
and Navy.

KIM WELL TRY
TO PUT NEW ACT
BACK ON FLOOR
Proposed Motion
Would Establish
Election Board
By CHARLES BARRETT
The ways and means committee of
the student legislature yesterdayvot
ed 3 to 2 not to report a bill introduced
by Chuck Kline providing for com
plete revision of the campus elections
system and the inauguration of gen
eral campus primaries.
Immediately after the committee
session Kline said he would attempt
to gain a majority vote of the legisla
ture next Monday night to force the
bill from the committee to the legisla
ture floor.
The bill would establish an elec
tions board composed of the student
council and any other members chosen
by the council, to hold general campus
primaries, and then an election among
the five leading candidates for each
office.
The committee's vote halting the
bill was taken after nearly three
hours deliberation extending over two
days. Martin Harmon, Ernest King
and Mitchell Britt opposed reporting
the bill, and Roy Parker and Dave
Murchison favored reporting it. Jo
Martin and Watts Carr were absent.
Harmon, King and Britt indicated
they considered campus primaries an
unnecessary complication of election
machinery. They pointed out that one
clause in the bill would permit the
election ' of jcampus officers. . by. only
one vote more than one-fifth of the
total votes cast for the office.
The majority trio indicated they
felt a candidate should have a major
ity of the total votes cast for an of
fice in order to be elected, and that
under the Kline bill three elections
would be necessary to insure this
point.
They said the entire committee
agreed that three elections would be
"out of the question."
Parker expressed himself as in
(favor of campus primaries, though
not necessarily as provided for in the
Kline bill. Murchison indicated he was
undecided as to the merits of pri
maries, but that he believed the bill
warranted discussion by the legisla
ture. Kline and Bob McLemore, supporter
of the bill but not a member of the
legislature, appeared before the com

STUDENTS REPORT
MORE ROBBERIES
IN PAST WEEKS
Dean Of Students'
Office Lists Money,
Overcoats As Stolen
In the past three weeks several rob
beries have been reported to the dean
of students' office and to P. L. Burch,
superintendent 'of the physical plant.
The robberies included overcoats
taken from the new dining hall and
the library, money, and other various
articles. Some robberies were reported
last quarter and the matter came to
be a serious one but died down toward
the end of the quarter. Three weeks
ago the robberies started again when
a student reported that $23 had been
taken from his purse either in his
dormitory or in Woollen gym. Soon
after this report five overcoats were
reported stolen from the library and
the dining hall.
During the past week six overcoats
have been stolen from the library and
dining hall and two members of the
hi Gamma Delta glee club, which
sang for the Student-Faculty day en
tertainment Tuesday night, reported
that money had been taken from their
wallets which had been left in a dress
ing room in Memorial hall. The wal-
ets were found on the floor in an ad
joining room and contained everything
