appearances before home fans pro-
duced opposite results last night.
The Hoyas, who had little trouble
in running up a 46-16 score on Wese-
ern Maryland at Tech High School,
will play their first major game of the
campaign against Princeton in the
Tigers New Jersey lair.
The Eagles, however, who lost to
Hampden-Sydney, 25-l4, were hoping
for a different ending in the same
gym at A. U. tomorrow when they
play host to Maryland State Normal.
1t should be quite a come-down from
Hampden-Sydney, which annually
produces one of the best teams among
the South's smaller colleges.
Mesmer Not Convinced.

tested, as it was by a woefully
awkward Western Maryland squad.
Coach Freddy Mesmer was as much in
doubt today over the best Georgetown
team he can put on the floor as he
ever was MeSmer used 13 players
last night and all but three Of them
broke into the scoring column. Oddly
enough, one of the trio to be blanked
was Harry Basin, the Hoyas' leading
scorer last year when he averaged
better than 8 points a game.
Joe Murphy, a sophomore, was the
leading point-getter as a result OF his
four field goals and two other sophs-

estimation of local ringworms.
- who employed a sliced eye
brow as barometer in rating him
as future timber for major mauling
circles. Through the same medium,
Washington's fistic family recon-
mended additional seasoning for Hobo
Williams.
Savagery, noticeably lacking in
SCOTS makeup in previous fights,
oozed to the surface for the first time
here last night as the clean-cut light
heavyweight captured unanimous
decision from Williams in a 10-round
scrap at Turner's Arena before 1,l73
paying patrons. Buddy also served to
illustrate that if there's any glass In
his chin, it's safety plate.
Buddy had mapped his argument
rather carefully and cleverly, easing
through the first five rounds against
his rugged opponent and then apply
ing pressure in the stretch. What he
hadn't figured on, however. was a
cut left eye in the ninth round, but
the manner in which he reacted to
the trickle of blood down his cheek
indicates Scott won't wilt when hurt.
That sliced optic. the result of a
short right, transformed the mild
hammered Scott into ring cannibal.
Buddy displayed the finest attack he
ever has unleashed here in the tenth
round. Thoroughly mad. the George
Washington University student poured
hot leather to Hobo's face, smashed
his nose to a crimson mess and had
williams hanging on at the bell fol-
lowing a volley of stiff rights.
Hobo Loses Effectiveness.
A MARKED contrast was offered In
the sixth session when Williams
stuck his left eye in the way of a
Scott right. Infuriated, Hobo rushed
Buddy, but Scott neatly evaded his
wild and ineffective punches, either
dancing out Of reach or taking the
blows on his arms and elbows. Buddy
scored again to the injured eye and
planted a solid left hook to the chin
at the bell.
Unlike Williams Scott Is at his best
when his killer instinct" Is aroused.
An accurate. smooth boxer for a lad
who is a comparative neophyte in
professional ranks, Scott maintains
the sharpness of his attack when he
launches crushing punches. Williams.
on the other hand, accentuates his
wildness when he attempts to polish
of q foe.
Nevertheless. williams was mighty
potent package for five rounds. After
an even first round Hobo took the
second, third and fifth frames by
sandwiching left hooks to the head
between body flurries. Scott grabbed
the fourth round when his right paw
found the range on Hobo's chm sew
eral times.
Connecting with authoritative left
hooks to the head and stiff rights
under the heart Buddy captured the
sixth, seventh and eighth cantos as
Williams modified his early whirl-
wind pace Strengthening Scott up
with a short right after cutting
Buddy's eye in the ninth. Williams
folded in the final round before
SCOTS withering blast.
Decision Unanimous.

Wisely Stopped.
BY JOHN LARDNER.

~LEVELAND, December Is
Joe Louis tossed one of his

~ the laps of 10000 fight fans
in Public Hall here last night by
knocking out Eddie Simms, pale but
rugged local boy, in exactly 26 seconds
of the first round of their scheduled
10-round bout.
You can't be sure about these things,
but Joseph's performance probably will

speediest knockouts on record. Jack
Dempsey stopped fat Fred Fulton in 81
seconds back in 1918, and the boys in
caulifower alley always have accepted
that one as the swifest coup de grace
of all time.
Louis actually disposed of Simms in
lS seconds by the clock, but Referee
Arthur Donovan required eight Sec
onds of intimate dialogue with the
victim to satisfy himself that Eddie
was out
The dialogue went like this:
Donovan-How dou you feel, boy?
Simms-Um.
Donovan-Can you see anything?
Simms-I'l go. Will go up on the
roof now?
Donovan-What did you say?
Simms-Where do they want me to

Donovan-All right, that's all.

'Up to the present time. the build
ing industry in Louisville has been
happy and fortunate in having very
few labor disputes or strikes. This
situation is primarily due to the fact
that Louisville has always been an
open shop town. Some Of the princi-
pal trades such as carpenters and
bricklayers have been largely union
lied, but they have always been rea-
sonable and fair in their dealings and
easy to get along with.
This happy situation may not con-

lied labor have frankly stated tina =:
their objective is to make of Louis
vile closed-shop town including the
unioniZation of common labor. Archi-
tects are not employers of labor. but
they should be very much interested
in this subject because it will mean
increased cost of building and many
more iurisdictional disputes and
strikes at the times of greatest activity
