Last night Joe Jacobs sent him a

syndicate composed of Herman
Taylor and Bob Gunnis, of Phila-

meet a man as yet unknown in the

They would guarantee Schmeling

cepting So per cent Of the gate re-
ceipts to meet a man they would
name the moment Schmeling signed
the articles of agreement.

Taylor would not name his dark

the bout as one for the title. That
the governor would foster the pro-

TaylOr's statement was the

datiOn On college sports.

There is no question at this time
but thai there is a lot Of truth in

our association deals only with track
athletics and l can only speak OF

But he does believe that Larry
Pinckney, former Gonzaga sensa-

Pinckney has responded favorably
to Rauber's coaching and he is
now rated by many as the Dis
trict's outstanding back. And he is
the man around whom his teams

when Techs championship eleven

Rauber observed in closing.

There the former Washington

this same Central eleven years ago,
signed off. For barring Pinckney
he had little to enthuse about.
Although a brainy and capable
supporting cast surrounds the big
fellow the team would probably be
lost without him. And it is doubtful
that even ball runner of his caliber
can keep in step with Hardell's well
rounded aggregation.
