Being quite serious young man, the
German takes no chances in this re-
spect. Diet and exercise keep his weight
within a pound or two of the same old
status-190 pounds-on through the
seasons.
More than three years ago he said
his best fighting weight was around 100.
In most Of his fights he has been close
to that mark. He stepped of the boat
weighing 100, having shown almost no
change in almost four years. Schmeling
therefore has only pound or two to
remove. In fact, he would rather fight
at 100.
Baer is in a slightly different fix He
expects to come down from 228 to 210
or possibly 212. He first fought in New
York at 203, and yet today he looks to
be little heavier.
Schmeling will have to spot Baer
something like 20 or % pounds, to say
nothing of height and reach. He still

Improving the Breed

HosS racing is permitted, and
in many sections tolerated, un-
der the guise of an effort to i'm
prove the breed. Yet the death
of Rapscallion on the Laurel
track during an actual race
brings to light facts which, if
true, would dictate that his par
ticular breed should have been
checked rather than fostered.
The story is being told around
the tracks that Rapscallion was
crazy. Also that his mother was
crazy as well as his father, and
that thus, if like produces like,
Rapscallion couldn't help but be
crazy.
Like a crazy person, Rapscal-
lion was minus something or
had a bit too much pressure
somewhere in his system to be
normal as horses are supposed
to be if the breed is worth per-
petuating.
But if Rapscallion was crazy
and his parents crazy, which
we are not saying positively
either of them were, no favor
was done the public by breeding
the parents, either one of them,
and producing an offspring that
to all intents and purposes
might by heredity be twice as
crazy as either of his parents.
Finally, for once in my life,
I didn't have a bet on a horse
that died in a race, lost a jockey,
ran away, wheeled or did any Of
the other weird things that
horses can do other than to just
naturally finish out of the
money.
Rapscallion, you didn't fool
me, you rapScallion you!

SARRON FACES
BIC TEST

When the boxing boys speak
these days of great boxers they
include Freddie Miller. When
they talk about southpaw boxers,
they put Miller in a class by him.
self.
The champion, who is to meet
Pete Sarron tomorrow night at
Portner's Arena in a 10-round
joust has been showing the spec
tatorS at frankie Mann'S gym
how a southpaw uses his right
hand.
Miller's right duke, unlike that
of most Southpaws, is a defensive
as well as an offensive instru-
ment. He throws it fast and he
puts force in the blow. He sticks
it out just as any good orthodox
boxer puts his left duke forward.
His lead is accurate and fast.
It carries a snap. When Freddie
throws he is just as liable to
step to the right and nail you
with his left hand or move to the
right and clip you with that
dynamite duke.
These are the things Sarron
must watch out for tomorrow
night or he might find himself
resting on the canvas. And once
Freddie gets you there, you are
about 10 to l to stay down.
Both gladiators are in tip-top
shape for the affair. Sarron,

nessee than the Colonials did
against Auburn if G.. w. is to be
returned the winner in Saturdays
big game.
This Tennessee squad is nicely
balanced affair. However, it is
quite evident to the casual OBJ
server that Major Robert Reece
Neyland, jr., head zach of Ten
nessee, and his assistants are
building an attacking eleven for
the G. w. game around none other
than Beattie Feathers, 180 pounds
of speed, dynamite, stark courage
and extraordinary grid ability.
This boy Feathers probably is
as good a halfback as there is in
America. And how he can kick
that ball
Does "Everything"
Feathers can run. He can pass.
He can plunge. He can kick. He
is a star on defense. Incidentally,
he is half Indian, and in action
he will remind you of the one and
only big Indian, Jim Thorpe.
Feathers supporting cast for
Saturdays game is an able propo-
sition. Fred j. Moses, who weighs
only 1876 pounds and who is known
as Little Moses" is field gen.
eral of more than ordinary merit.
On top of that, he is an elusive
little devil when he is loose in
the secondary defense. He is fiery.
Edwin c. Palmer, a 6-footer who
scales about ITS, is rip-snorting
fullback. He can block like no.
body's business. He is a mighty
dangerous football player.
Leo F. Petruzze, the fourth mem
ber of the Volunteer backfield,
weighs only 165 pounds, but he
looks the part of great player.
In front of this quartet of speed
sters is a real line, an active line,
a fighting line. From end to end,
with weights, the lineup Of the
line is: Left end, Louis Founders,
IT'S; left tackle, Milton Frank,
1888; left guard, Gordon Smith, 178;
center, Capt. Talmadge Naples,
1876; right guard, j. B. Ellis, 1874;
right tackle, Howard Bailey, 1873;
right end, Cecil Humphreys, ITS.
This forward wall is one which,
as unit. will give G. w. plenty
of trouble. It is not only a bal
anced outfit, but it has the most
valuable Of all line assets, agility.
Trained to Minute
The Tennessee team units-in-
deed, the Volunteers as a squad
are trained to the minute III
fundamentals. With Captain
Maules back in the lineup the
has been out since an early play
in the Duke game), Tennessee
stacks up as a standard Ten
nessee team, which means that
it will never be beaten by very
many points by any eleven.
In signal drill yesterday, the
Volunteers looked a classy COM
bination. In blackboard drill it
was obvious that G. w. is not
underestimated by the Volun-
teers. Further, the last people
in the world to think that G. w.
is not a first flight combination
are the Volunteer coaches.
Critics here insist that the
Tennessee team of today is just
about 80 per cent stronger than
the Tennessee team of two weeks
ago. These local sports writer's
