who Is the best half back in
the country?" writes R. L. M.
Now there's an order that
would keep the flames Of con.
troversy blazing all winter long.
There's just no way of telling
who is the best half back, If for
no other reason than that the
average sports writer cannot see
more than 100 backs in the coun-
try, and most of these will be
run Of the mine.
The best back in the country
would have to be a super Thorpe,
who, with all Difference to Pop"
Warner, was the greatest football
player the backfields Of this ma.
ton ever boasted. The best back
would have to run, pass, punt,
kick field goals and block harder
than Britton blocked for Red
Grange.
Best U. 3. FunteF
At this time Bill Shakespeare
probably is the best punter in
the land, and he is not q bad
paSSer. We refer you to Ohio
State on that subject. The queS-
tion asked by r. L. M. smacks
o. all-America teams, and your
agent will pick four real good
backs and let them stand.
Ozzie Simmons, the Negro
half back of Iowa, is without
doubt one of the greatest ball
carriers in the country. He
runs like streak and has q
knack of fading right away from
a tackler's clutches. He isn't
used for blocking because it
would be a shame to rob a team
of his superlative ball carrying
ability.

he can block and take a pass.

And your own TUffy Leemans
ranks with the best in the coun-
try in all around ability. I'd like
to see Tuffy playing behind a
Notre Dame line with blocking
that is worth pinch of snuff. He
can punt and pass; he ca:l catch
passes and tackle. He'll do.

Temes Meets Borre.

"A PRELIMINARY card, featuring
an eight-rounder between Ray
Borre of Florida, and Joe Temes,
Greek featherweight, will precede the
main event and get under way at $3.50
o'clock, or thereabout. -.
Borre is a newcomer to the Capital,
but he is highly touted and picked by
many to whip Temes. If so, Promoter
Turner may find another potential
drawing card on his list, inasmuch
as Temes ranks fairly high here ever
sinee he upset Roger Bernard.
e In q six-rounder, Bob Lowry, local
middleweight, will return to the ring
after years absence to meet Mike
Scipio Of Baltimore. Lowry's jaw was
broken last Winter and he has not
fought since.
A pair of four-rounders will COM
plete the card. They will bring to-
gether Charley Rondo of Baltimore
and Tony Livingston of the Quantico
Marines, and Stanford Carrier of
Washington, and Joe Sibley of Balti-

to the fact that the tariff act Of

to whether this applies to dogs. If not,
why not?

"a L DELANEY, 20-year-old
~ heavyweight with a fair-to-
a middlin' wallop, has a chance
a n tonight to check the comeback
ambitions of Bob Goodwin, ex-light
heavy ruler and one-time prime ia
vorite of Washington boxing followers.
In the feature of Promoter Joe
Turner's weekly ring festival at the
new Fourteenth and w streets arena
the rivals will square of in bout
listed for eight rounds. The reason
advanced for the limited number of
rounds was that Delaney, still minor,
has been used only to fighting in six
FOUNDERS as prescribed by New York
laws.
Goodwin, on the strength of his
greater experience, was installed a
favorite today, but disturbing reports
concerning Delaney's punch continued
to drift into the Herald Harbor boys
camp. Little is known otherwise of
Delaney except that he was kayoed
by Joe Louis in four heats and was
beaten by Buddy Baer, although he
put the biggest of the Baers on the
canvas for q count of nine.
Goodwin Sometimes Careless.
GOODWIN, who has rested since the
- victory he scored over Buck Ever
EFT here last Summer, seemed to be in
perfect shape for the test against
Delaney, who formerly boxed as Otto
Borchuk and who was announced as
a substitute for Terry Mitchell only
last Saturday. Once one of the
busiest scrappers in the business, the
comparatively young Goodwin, paying
the penalty of too much work and not
enough rest, now takes his boxing in
smaller doses.
If Delaney's punch is what it Is
cracked up to be by press agent
notices, Goodwin may be in for jolt.
Bob never has been a particularly
rugged fighter and despite his boxing
ability, which Is considerable at times,
he has been known to be careless
enough to leave open shot at his
chin. He did that against Everett,
with the result that he hit the canvas
in the last round and almost lost the
fight.
If Goodwin should duplicate that
stunt, the transplanted Georgian's swan
song in this hamlet might well be
sung. Bob has ambitions of re-estab-
fishing himself as drawing card here
as he did back in the days of bootleg
boxing in Alexandria, but Delaney

upgrade, easily could supplaut Robert
