INDIANAPOLIS, January 22.-Sam-
my Mandell, world lightweight cham
pion, tonight will return to the boxing
ring after a four-month lay-off, meet
ing Jack Gillespie of Detroit, in 10
round contest. The title will not be
involved, the men boxing at catch
weights.
Gillespie was substituted for Joe Az
zarella of Milwaukee, whose hand was
broken while training. The bout will
be one of several "warm-up' contests
Mandell will engage in before risking
his title. Also it will give him chance
to test the strength of his collar bone,
which he fractured last September in
a bout with Jimmy Goodrich, one-time
champion, in Flint, Mich.

Champions and Their Chances for 1929.
No. 8-THE HEAVYWEIGHT GROUP.
T T has been suggested here and there
/ and perhaps elsewhere that the
four leaders now forming the
i heavyweight group are Sharkey
Stribling,. Pauline and Heeney. If
this is true the battle between Sharkey
and Stribling should decide the next
wearer of the purple mantle. 1t is
true enough that Heeney fought draw
with Sharkey. 1t also is true enough
that Stribling up-to-date hasn't set the
fistic universe on fire in his important
battles. But for all that, either Sharkey
or Stribling is better than an even bet
now against Pauline and Heeney if the
first two can only be steamed into
action. Both have number of bad
performances to wipe out and it is
hardly likely that they will start loafing
again with so much at stake.
If either fops in this next start he
is through. Both know this. Both are
capable of putting on a big show.
Stribling. fighting in his own sector,
can't afford another moth-eaten show
ing. Sharkey, after his flopS against
Heeney and Risko, will be out of the
big money from now on If he doesn't
give the best he has. No one knows
this any better than the two contenders
and with million dollar title in the
offing they are both fairly certain to
shoot the works.
There may be some younger chal-
lenger coming on who can whip the
entire lot. but Just at this stage Sharkey
and Stribling are the two main actors
before the curtain. And each one hap
pens to be absolutely sure that he can
whip the other. Stribling proved his
belief we'll enough by taking a far
smaller cut of the money. He has de-
veloped dangerous uppercut in the
last year and Is much more of a
puncher than he used to be. If he
can whip Sharkey the rest of it should
be canter.

How Much Fun Is Foot Ball?
Dear Sir: Foot ball! Is it a game
or is it work? How do players regard
it, once the glamour of making the
varsity has worn off? George Miller, a
star of the Missouri eleven, declares it
is drudgery and that the long practice
sessions and the mental strain of play
ing big games, each week end, quickly
rob the game OF all pleasurable
elements. George Owen of Harvard
and Nate Parker of Dartmouth have
said the same thing in the past. What
would be the result If vote we're taken
of so of the outstanding teams of the
country?
In one of the final games of the
Western Conference season. a famous
tackle limped off the field, his face
twisted in agony and his spirits low.

extend his Washington visit and the
