After that time ringside and

Too many people wait until the

Which is the harder sport tc
participate in, football or boxing
When sports fans get together
this point often comes up fol
discussion in tanning bees, usually
with the result that each partisan
carries away with him his own
conviction which is the more
severe sport.
Sam Cordovano and Leroy Bor
deau, of Georgetown, both OF
whom are well versed and partici
pants in each sport, weigh in
with opinions that boxing is the
harder of the two. And their
reasons are not only interesting
but may clear up some existing
popular beliefs about the relative
severity Of each.
Boxing takes the greater
toll of physical strength and
energy" COrdOvanO explained.
"In football one can conserve
ones energy to a much
greater degree than one can
in the ring.
For instance, when playing
football there always is time to
relax between plays. Even the
quickest moving play with all it's
corresponding action is over with
in Is seconds. Then there is a
pause at least of equal duration
allowing welcome relaxation. In
the ring, one must keep going at
top speed the entire duration of
the round and the short rest
between rounds doesn't do the
same amount of good that the
rest between plays affords in foot.
ball, thought it helps a lot.
"Sure, you take plenty of hard
socks in football. But they're
not near as hard as spectators
imagine. Pads afford a lot of
protection. But a clever gridder
can prevent the full force of the
majority Of these landing. Even
in heavy pile-ups the physical
damage suffered isn't half as bad
as it appears.
TN boxing a fellow is giving
everything he's got all the time
And his opponents blows mean,
time are taking the steam out of
one. And the steam's going out
lot faster than one expects;
much faster than it does on the
gridiron unless one gets lucky
and wins his bout in a hurry
Over the regulation distance give
me football" Cordovano con-
cluded.
BOrdeau'S opinions were
pretty much along the same
line as his teammates, but
he was just as emphatic as
COrdOvanO in voting his
preference for football.
"Some fans will argue that be-
cause there are II men playing
against you in a football game
that all of them can take smash
at you at once" Bordeau rea-
soned. but they're all wrong
Your teammates help you out by
blocking them off and even if a
couple Of them do get a clear
shot at you the full impact of
their attack can be lodged and
avoided most times. The contact
is much different in football than
in boxing. And it's all in favor
Of football offering the least
severe wallopS," said Bordeau in
conclusion.
There you have the opinions
Of these two athletes who are
aces in both sports. They each
know whereof they speak. And
regardless of Jack DempSey's
opinion that football is twice as
rough and tough as the ring
sport both go on record as veto

 With F. Baker up, Jim Dandy whipped Gallant Fox and Earl San de by six lengths, and Which One and Sonny Workman by twelve lengths in the Travers Stake.
 Gallant Fox was favorite with odds at l to 2. Which One was second choice at to 5.
 Which One pulled up very lame and it is probably his last appear ance of the 1929 Juvenile Cham pion.

WATWOOD'S JOB AT FIRST

CHICAGO, August IS. = Johnny Watwood, outfielder whom Donie Bush sent to first base when Bud Clancy, Chicago White Sox first sacker, lost his batting eye, was a star first baseman in college.
 Watwood was at first for Ala bama Poly, but was shifted to the outfield by the manager of the Alexandria Cotton State league team.
 He went to Shreveport of the Texas league as an outfielder. The Sox bought him two years ago as an outfielder.
