NEW YORK. Nov. 4 Omitted
Press.)-with the optimistio. care
free attitude that has always been
characteristic OF him, Jack johnson,
former worlds heavyweight cham
pion, still hopes that he will get a
break in his favor and will be al
lowed TO return/to tho ring.
No matter II he Is alone in think
ing 30, Big Jack firmly believes he
has a lot left and that he could work
ND to another chance for the title.
He has been working out daily in
the gymnasium at Madison Square
Garden and sounding out the boxing
commission preparatory TO making
an application for a license.
Unless tho commission deems it a
good political move to reverse itself,
johnson cannot be granted a license
as long "a the present rule estab-
fishing thirty-eight years as the age
limit for boxers remains on the
book.
This rule was enacted as direct
move to prevent johnson and Jess
Willard from boxing in New York.
johnson admits about forty-two
years. but some ring followers. who
have known him a long time. think
he is even older.
The former champion weighs
around ESQ pounds. He is at an age
now where flesh is removed only
with a great deal OF labor and he is
said to be we'll fixed financially. and
Il is not clear whey he should choose
The tedium of hard training to get
back in shape.

Coach Jack Sutherland has GER
tainly been a mighty successful foot
bali mentor at Lafayette. His pupils
have II straight wins to their credit
and bid fair to finish the season with
a clean slate.
In Matt Brennan Lafayette has
one 81 the biggest and best quarter
backs in captivity. Brennan looks
more ike a tackle or guard than a
quarter. Aside from being a good
field general he IS a fine punter and
brilliant at forward passing.
In the baclfeld with him are
Gavelia. Drummer and Gsbhardt. II
was feared that Lafayette would
miss the line plunging OF Elliott, who
was one OF the most talked about
players in the east last year. How
ever. Gebhardt seems TO have more
than filed the bill at fullbaok.
It's the line. however, that makes
everything possible at Lafayette
Tho greatest baclxheld in the coun-
try couldn't get going behind a weak
line. Lafayette has a wonderful line,
led by Captain Schwab, generally
picked as an All-America selection
asst fall.
What a whale of fame for Notre
Dame to meet Lafayette. Such a
thing IS not impossible.

Lafayette IN the strongest team
IN the east"
That was the consensus OF four Of
the leading football officials OF the
country with whom I recently talked
while IN the east.
During the Ohio State-Michigan
game at Columbus Walter Camp told
me that he regarded Harvard and
Lafayette as the two strongest teams
in the east and that no rather leaned
to the latter.
So good is Lafayette that certain
stories are already being passed
around as to the status Of several
stars on the team. Last year the
same accusations were nads, but
nothing definitely proved.
Some idea of Lafayette's great
strength can be Cleaned from the
statistics of the last two games
played. Neither Buolsnell nor Bos-
ton College, both OF whom were de-
feated by Lafayette. were able TO-
make single first down from scrim-
mage.
ton that both Bucknell and Boston
College are very strong teams # IS
an easy matter to realize the
strength Of the Lafayette line and
secondary defense.
