Lieut.. Gar Davidson, head coach
of West Point is another who
views the coming clash with the
Bulldog with alarm. Army romped
through three tune-up games
without being subjected to a real
test. Now the Mule is ready to
enter it's first big game against a
team that has been fully tested,
found itself apparently, and ready
to carry on to new victories.
Football teams often find them
selves overnight. Yale apparently
is one of them. Observers whose
opinions on football are to be re-
spected say that on Tuesday before
the Brown game, the Yale outfit
looked uncertain and a m o t
sloppy. On Wednesday it had
geared itself nicely, and Thursday
it looked like a football team. The
world knows the answer to its
Saturday performance.
What of Brown?
But what of the Brown team?
Was it a representative eleven Of
the Providence school? Against
Yale the Brown warriors did not
block and did not tackle as Brown
teams have been doing for years.
It is fundamental that half backs
will run when the defense neglects
to tackle. It is likewise funda
mental that when interfering
backs do not carry out their as
signments, defenders will tackle
if they are good defenders. So
perhaps the Yale display was due
partially to Blue power and due
partly to Brown weakness.
The Yale backfield with Jerry
Roscoe at quarterback, Bernie
Rankin and STRAIT Morton at
halves and Kim Whitehead at full
back gave fine demonstration of
modern football in its Whirls and
reverses. Roscoe seems to have
hit the peak he promised to reach
last year. He is top hand at
throwing passes, coupling accur-
acy with distance.
Ends this year have attracted
more than their share Of atten-
ton. Baxter and Rocker OF Pitt
are standouts. Army has always
had a pair or more of good ends.
Yale. too, has had its flankers,
and they have a kid out at the
Bowl this year who looks and acts

WALKER MIKES
WITH BROWN
7 TONIGHT
BY GINO SINH

A Great Dane and a Toy Bull
dog square off tonight in the ring
at the washington Auditorium in
a 10-round scuffle and a battle
should ensue which will cast into
discard the famous Kilkenny cats
scuffle.
The Great Dane is Matte Brown,
Jewish guardian of the heavy
weight fistic honors along the
banks of the Potomac, and the Toy
Bulldog is none other than Mickey
c'Himself") Walker, erStWhiie
champion of weller and middle
weights. Mickey was graduated
into the lightheavyweight and
heavyweight divisions although
scaling only around ITO pounds.
Mickey is out to climb back
among the behemoths and to-
nights bout will be his first step
in that direction. Matte. rated
among the ten best heavies. and
ambitious to hoist himself to
greater heights. figures that a de-
cisive victory over Walker would
greatly boost his stock and has
whipped himself into top shape.
He has intimated to friends that
he may hang a "k. o." on the
Jersey scrapper.
Holds Weight Advantage
Matte will enter the ring with
a 20-pound pull on his rival, 1873
to 1853, but that hasn't caused
Mickey loss of sleep. Mickey has
given away even more poundage
to two former worlds champions,
Jack Sharkey and Max Schmel.
ing, and to top-fighters like Paul
mo Uzcudun, Johnny Risko, and
King Levinsky. Only Schmeling
was able to stop him, and it took
him eight rounds, Sharkey only
getting draw, while Mickey
pounded out decisions over Paul
inc. Risko and Levinsky.
Among his k.o. victims are
Salvatore Ruggirello. Arthur De-
Kuh, Jimmy Mahoney. Jack Gag
non, Armand Emanuel. all men
who outweighed him by a score
or more pounds.
Drew With NeuSel
Matte whose biggest achieve
ment in the ring was holding
Walter Neusel to draw "a
majority of ring critics thought
Matte had won) has met and
vanquished a dozen foes since
that night in March, 10 months
ago, among them Johnny Risko.
Don Perrin, Newark lightheavy-
weight, who gained considerable
popularity here during the sum-
mer by knocking off heavier op-
ponents until Matte Brown beat
him in August, swaps wallops
with Mickey Taylor, Walkers
stablemate and neighbor, in an
eight round Semifinal.

the heavyweight situation.

my mind that Primo was Grip

of his bout with Baer. AS a
matter of fact, he's still got =
game leg as result Of that bat
tle."
Loughran Dangerous
Although he picks Loughran
as the dark horse of the pres
ent crop of heavies, Walker con
siders Steve Hamas the best
youngster of the lot.
"TOmmy's ring wise and still
can beat 80 out of 100 heavy
weights. But Hamas is com.
ing all the time and Loughran's
getting no younger. Which is
an argument in Steve's favor
any way YOU take it."

The turkey that Jack Frost had cooked was even better than it looked. The Tinies ate until they couldn't stand another bite.
 Well, say," said Jack Frost, "I am cheered. The turkey has near disappeared. That indicates that it was good. I hope you feel all right"
 Gee, feel great" said oDtty, though out for a walk I ought to go, to help myself digest my food. Real exercise is fine!"
 Then to the Tinymites she cried, "Who wants to travel by my side?" All of them did 'cept Duncy. and he answered, Mot for mine!
 "Td fall asleep, sadly fear, and so guess I'll stay right here. I'm going to flop on Jack Frost's couch, if it's all right with him."
 or Jack laughed loudly. Then he said, "why sure, old sleepy! Go ahead! I'll bet, though, all the other tots will feel much more in trim."
 So, off the happy Tinies went, and bout a couple hours was spent in walking through Toy Land. Then back to the house they ran.

They found wee Duncy, snoring loud, and Dotty shouted to the crowd, My, he looks much too peaceful. Come, let's wake him, if we can."
 Just then oP Jack Frost, full of cheer, rushed in and said, Just guess who's here! Your good friend Santa Claus, and he's as tired as can be.
 "I know that he'll soon fall asleep, and then there must not be a peep from any of you Tinymites. He needs much rest, you see."
 Then Scouty whispered, "Oh, look there! He's flopped down in great big chair. I'll bet, in just about a minute, he will start to snore." The lad soon found that he was right. The snore that blared forth was fright. Come" Scouty said. We will not bother Santa any more"
