WILL TEST
L0NDOS' STAMINA
Hopes to Prove True Rumor
Jim Is "Cracking" on New
York MET Tonight.
BY ALFRED DAYTON.

n YEW YORK, December 21.-Ever
N since the start Of the present
wrestling season, there have
been many arguments about
the condition of Jim Londos, heavy
weight championship claimant. Some
said that LondoS, in view of his Stren-
uous campaign, is ready to crack at any
minute. So far there has not been the
slightest inkling that such predictions
will come true
There is a bout at Madison Square
Garden tonight. however which should
give rather definite insight on Jim S
present status. Londos is to tackle Ray
Steele. his most persistent challenger,
and by the outcome of this match may
be gagged the Greeks chances of
hanging on to his title claim for an
other IL months.
Pressed LOndos Last Summer.
Steele, it will be recalled. wrestled
Londos at Yankee Stadium last Sum-
mer. The match lasted more than an
hour, and if Steele can extend the
champion over longer period tonight.
then it must be regarded that Londos'
reign is showing the strain
In their match last June Steele was
the aggresSor throughout He had Lon
dos in many tight places, and for at
least an hour it looked as if Steele
would win. Londos' ability to conserve
his energy led to Steele's downfall Ray
did all the WORK. and when it came to
the showdown Londos was more than
equal to the task
Londos held the strength. while
Steele weakened. although the Cali
fornian charged his defeat to question
able tactics on the part of the title
claimant. Steele always has maintained
that Londos used Strangle, an illegal
hold, to crush him to the canvas.
LondoS, on the other hand. stuck to
his story Of using hold which clamped
on the side, and not the throat portion
OF Steele'S neck, and rendered him
unconscious. Londos, in fact, calls this
his unconscious hold and he has used it
many times since to triumph.
Hold Is Not Barred.
The New York commission has failed
to question the legality of this hold, so
Steele will be subjected to it again to-
night. He is fully aware of this fact,
too, for he has been building up a de-
fense to thWart Londos' efforts along
these lines
Several weeks during the last Sum-
mer Steele worked with Farmer Burns
trying to perfect defense for these
headlockS. Burns showed Steele many
ways to guard against such an attack,
and so Ray will go into this match
loaded with confidence Steele feels
that Londos cannot beat him on any,
thing but a deadlock, and if he can
stem this tide he certainly will win.

Much Relaxation ON Cridiron
Actual Playing Time in Foot Ball Game Slight
Compared to Basket Ball Tussle

A CCORDing to DR.. James Mai
~ smith, professor of physical
education at the University of
Kansas, foot ball Is not the
strenuous game 1t is sometimes
thought to be. DR.. Naismith says
that less than one minute In five
is used for strenuous play. The
other four minutes, he points out,
are periods of comparative relax
alton.
If the total elapsed time, from
the kickoff to the final whistle, with
all the official time out, time be-
tween periods and the like, is con-
sidered, DR.. Naismith declares, the
playing time is decidedly small.
DR.. Naismith has made several

ities Of teams and individual play
