DUNDEE IS BETTER
after KN0CKD0WN
Kaye Walop Seems TO Serve as
Tonic for COlnebacks


| New York, March 81 Jp--Pote
Latzo may have better chance of
retaining his wel,erweight cham
pionship if he retrains from attempt
ing to knock out Joe Dundee in
their title battle al the Polo Grounds
in June.
Dundee, it seems. doesn't begin
to do his best until he has hit the
! iloor.' His manager. Max Waxman
says so, ana points to the number o.:
battles thu Baltimore Italian has
/ Won by railying after being knocked
! down.
! Occasionally, as in the case OF his
/ first fight with Eddie Roberts. Dun
/ dee is hit hard enough to stay down.
But usually, Joe is able to bound
Rack into action and keep his pro-
/ trulins chin well covered. The sec
= ond time ne fought Roberts he came
! back to win after being l,oored for
/ count OF eight.
Il seems, on the whole, that tho
knockout wa.lop isn't what Il used
TO be. Instead OF bringing about
disastrous results it has served as a
ionic and Inspired come backs for
. hatt!ers such as Dundee. Mike Nc
Tigue, Tiger Flowers, Mickey Walker
ami others.
McTisue's Knockout cure" at tho
hands Of Jack Delaney resulted in
the venerable Irishmau's brief but
sensational sortia into heavyweight
society. He collected two Of his
mos. profitable purses. about $780,
, COO each, Tor matches with Paul
I2rlenbach and Jack Sharhey.
Flowers was perhaps the most
knocked out boIc~ who ever won
worlds championship. The Georgia
deacon busted the resin in defeat no
lass than eight timls before he took
he middleweight crown from Harry
Greb. Jack Delaney knocked out
the Tiger twice.
Walker. who took the title from
Flowers in Chicago. also tried the
knockout tonic before hand. Mickey
vas stopped by Joe dundee ana
labelled through" by the critics
shortly before he pounded his way
10 honors in heavier division.
Paul Berlcnbach has retired. tenn
porali!y, ut least. rs u result OF his
knockout by McTiguc but it took
more than such II potion to discour-
age him few years ago. Paul was
iiattcned by Delaney Just as he was
gaining prominence but came back
to win the worlds light heavyweight
title and hold his own IN two sub
seqlent l5-ronnd matches with the
French-Canadian sharpshooter.
The career Of one of the greatest
all round stars in college athletic
history ends this spring with Vie"
iiansons stunts on the baseball
field for Syracuse university.
In three years Of varsity compcti-
ton, Hanson has been an outstanI- .
ing star in three -haskrtbun. .
football and baseball lie was an
All-American football end last iall. /.
In his last two basketball seasons he F.
tailed close 10 500 points in each .
campaign to lead all eastern rivals. !
And as a second suchar in baseball /
h. was good enough TO get Hat /.
tering offer from the New York 4
Yankees.
1t is UNDERSTOOD how yer. that
Hanson has decided TO accept Job
as assistant to Chick Mechan. head
gridiron coach OF New York uni
versity and former Syracuse mentor.
II IS significant Of tho prospects
of wide open" football next fall
under the new backward or lateral
pass rule that colleges are engaging
special tutors to develop this new
feature of the game. Harvard Will
have the aid of Frank ShauGhnessy,
former Rugby coach at McGiIl uni
Norsity of Montreal, and Rutgers has
Lionel Coacher. noted all around
Canadian athlete who starred at the
rugby game before concentrating Oh
professional hockey.
