Done Brown
By NORMAN E. BROWN

Sammy Mandell, holder of the
worlds lightweight title, has been
accused by fasteners of being
timid about risking his title.
Sammy Mandell, westerner and
proud of his home town of Rock
ford, ILL.,, says that eastern pro.
moters want to play him for a
sucker.
'They want me to meet FERRIS

$4,000" says Sammy. "And l know
that's not the price champion

Mandell rates Sid ferris anc

ing lightweights-a and contenders
for his title. And says he's willing
to meet both.
But the greatest fighter of all
time, in my opinion, is, or rather
was, Jack Dempsey" says Sammy
Il mean as far as fighting, tearing
in, beating the other fellow down
is concerned. / like clever boxing,
but you have to admire the man
who can tear in like tiger and
batter his opponent down.
when Dempsey was himself he
couldn't be hit, either. 1t wasn't
until he slowed up-until his legs
went back on him-that he started
taking them on the face and head
What killed off Dempsey, how
ever, was that three-year layoff. No
one can stay away from the ring
that long and be himself when he
gets back. l laid aside my gloves
for three months on the advise of
the doctors when / had trouble
with my side, and l didn't know
my left hand from my right when
l started working again"
Mandell is now waiting for COM
pletion of arrangements for bouts
in Kansas City and Chicago. He
doesn't spend much time thinking
about the ring these days, how
ever, as he recently became the
proud papa of boy.
And Richard Samuel Mandell is
just the type of son that any papa
would rave about. Mandell senior
was taking the afternoon off to
witness football game when we
met Which brought out the fac.
that he once played high school
basketball, himself, finally giving

Nonshrinkoble Wool
Supplied BY Ouibos

The musk-ox = scientifically, the
ovibos-is one of the interesting an
imals of the Arctic region. 1t Is some
thing like a cow and something like
a sheep, but is not cross. though the
name, ovibos, means a sheep-cow. It
seems to be a relic Of an animal that
lived in the Stone age, when the hairy;
rhinoceros and the mammoth were
common, writes the travel editor of
the Pathfinder Magazine. It feeds on
grass herbs, moss and the shoots of
trees. Not only Is Its meat very good
to eat and the hide good for leather,
but the wool from Its coat is softer
than cashmere and 1t has the advan-
tage over all other wool that 1t will
not shrink. One can smell the oviboS
when it is still a quarter of a mile
away, and this gives it its popular
name of musk-ox. But the muSg
smell does not faint the meat If the
butchering is carefully done.
