selectors are watching him
closely.
Props does the punting for
the WaSps and in the Carson
Newman game averaged 40 yards
from the line of scrimmage.
That kind of punting is effec-
tive in any class of competition.
This 185-pounder also plays a
whale of a game on defense and
as a pass receiver comedies moth
ing to the other terminal
guardians in the entire South.
Kenneth Red" Fulk, who
teams at the ends with Props,
is 6-feet,212 and weighs 100
pounds. He has been an all-Vir-
ginia selection for two years and,
like Props, has starred on the
basketball court. The pair have
transferred their ball handling
from basketball to the gridiron
with excellent results.
Mark Kegley is the outstanding
back for Coach Pedie Jackson's
team. He was used last Saturday
as the climax man who carried
the Wasps to a touchdown in ex-
actly six plays and then retired
to await action against George
Washington. Kegley, according
to our information, can do every
thing we'll on a football field and
undoubtedly will prove the player
most likely to trouble G. w.
Capt. Jack Young, quarterback,
and Sam Keys, halfback, are two
other formidable ball carriers
on whom Emory and Henry
largely depends. Young, 5-feet-3
and weighing but 148 pounds, is
the smallest Quarterback in the
South. He is noted for his en-
durance and blocking ability
Keys, who weighs 158, is the speed
boy of the team.
Lowell Major" Barker, chunky
190-pound guard, is the shining
light of the Wasp rush line. He
is exceedingly proficient on de-
fense and gives the Virginians
consistently good running inter
ference.

sion, and right now owe r.

james ]. Braddock, the for.
gotten man.
1t is Joe Louis, cute as a
baby Smithfield, with his turned
up nose, roofing himself uncon-
cernedly along his own placid
paths, that has hypnotized an
adoring fiStiana in to creating
the first million dollar fight
gate since 1927. (See financial
re turns of Dempsey-Sharkey
fight in your favorite sports
record volumeS).
Max Baer, the other party to
tonight's nuptials, blew his pop
ularity the night he blew his
crown to Braddock. Not only
today'S prevailing odds, but the
undertone of expressed senti-
ment on all sides, indicates the
crowd is coming to Yankee
Stadium tonight to see Baer
lose.
His one salvation, in my
humble belief, will be to follow
the formula I have outlined
above, to wit and viz: Wade
in there and slug himself out of
this mess in the quickest pos
Sible time.
I don't say he will do it.
don't say what will happen in
Baer's case. Who would after
his pitiful defense of his title
against Braddock?
But 1 do say that if he doesn't,
this stolid black boy with the
blood of Langford and Cans
and Joe Jeannette too, flowing
through his veins, will whittle
Max into a microbe if Max lets
the fight drag out, backs up.

Louis Sneaky Ways
Louis, the tWo-fisted feline,
will sneak up on him the minute
he makes a false motion and
will hit, not once, but innumera-
BILE times, as he did Levinsky,
who didn't know whether to yell
"Police!" or "Fire!"
And, too, I hold that should
Baer essay the kind of a fight
which I say is his only loophole,
he will have to be awfully lucky
to get away with it. For Joe
Louis has smothered some of
the best punchers known to the
business today. He is an expert
blocker, a master weaver and
he rolls with his enemy's thrusts
like a sailor in a tropical hurri-
cane.
Finally, am not going to tell
you who will win tonight
there's no percentage in doing
that when a Max Baer is in the
ring. He's like a cockroach. You
don't know what turn he is 60
ing to make next.
I'm going. though. to tell you
what I told you from Chicago
before the Louis-Levinsky fight.
You've got to stick with the
man who has been bowling over
his foes in actual competition
and in training.

Of course, there will be many
thousands there who never hit a
headline and never will. These
will be drawn from almost every
race, creed and color under the
sun-a truly American melting
pot.
The ringside-Ripley it or not
will cover the entire playing field.
First will come several rows
around the ring for the press.

cover the fight, however, will be
back in the baseball p1ess bCX
in the stands.
Then will come the patron

ing circle. After thai comes more
ringside rows from No. l until
they hit the bleacner walls to
about row IS. Out IN the bleach
ers, the spectators will need
marine glasses to locate the ring.
There will be m):e than 600
ushers to handle the vast assem-
blage. They will wear different
colored helmets corresponding
with the color of the ticket. Thus,
for instance, the field ushers will
wear platinum-hued helmets. The
lower grandstand ushers red hel.
NETS, the mezzanine, green and
the upper stand white. The
bleacher ushers will wear blue.
And there will be about 700
caterers to see that the boys ana
gals don't get too hungry or
thirsty. 1t is figured the crowd
will leave more than $4,000 in
tips in the field and probably
as much more will be lost in
jewels, cash and clothing.
Looking back from the ringside
at that solid mass of humanity
banked in the stands and out in
the bleachers, with the constant
lighting of cigars and cigarette
flicker the night like a myriad Of
fireflies, should be something
worth remembering.

Two cases discovered on Mary

reported today.
They were the first to be
reported in Maryland.
No new cases were reported
