TT required more than three hours for Jim Londos to throw
Everett Marshall in Philadelphia the other night and if
the Colorado giant picks up a few more pointers it may be
the end Of Londos as chief Of the heavyweight title claimants.
Many mat followers are convinced that Marshall possesses
far more strength than the Greek. However, Everett is a
little short on knowledge Of the graphing tricks compared
with the stock held in store by the veteran Jim.
Marshall is a Colorado farmer and his power grew as
the result of hard work during his teens. He was more or
less a semi-pro and amateur grappler around his territory
until somebody tipped off the professional promoters. Everett
was too much for his opponents during the days when he
wrestled for the mere fun of winning, but took some time
before the big city mat agents lured him away from the
cows and chickens.
Many of the best heavyweights were farm-reared. Some
of the number are Frank Gotch, Tom Jenkins, Joe Stecher,
Farmer Burns, Fred Beal, Earl Caddock, John Pesek, Jim
Browning and others. Moreover, in nearly all cases of farm
graduates, the wrestler invariably returns to the soil and
plow. Rich wresters seldom step out and squander their
money in the manner of the average wealthy prize fighters.

On Saturday in Columbus. Don Peden was receiving prominent men
ton rs a candidate for the job S head football coach at Ohio State
university. At the same time reports linked him with the Indiana berth.
Ohio State lost one game in 1888 and Sam Wfnaman. head coach. was
advised to find another assignment. He landed at Western Reserve.
Ohio State hardly would dare to give a new coach a long term con-
tract, however. The Bucks have more downtown coaches and Mon
day morning quarter backs than any school in the country. c. S [. is

given double duty. The depression cut a big hole in the athletics funds
at nearly all institutions, large and small.
