BraddoCk Third
In Boxing
BY LAYTON CARVER

NEW YORK, Dec. % G.N.S0
Being heavyweight champion is
beginning to mean less and less
to James ]. Braddock, who had
expected affluence that custom
arily accompanies the title, along
with the honor Of being ranked
as the best fighter in the world
for the time being.
James j. hasn't caught up with
a great deal of money so far, and
can't even get himself listed as
No. / man for whatever good
might come Of it. In fact, he is
slipping all the time.
In the annual copyrighted rat
ings published by Ring" Maya
zine today, Max Schmeling is
placed on top all by himself.
Joe Louis heads group No. 2,
which includes Braddock. A year
ago, Louis was placed on top and
Braddock was ranked second.
The rankings, based on a con-
census of leading experts in this
country and abroad, takes into
consideration the fact that Brad
dock was inactive. Schmeling
was placed on top because he
knocked out Louis, and the latter
was given the next spot because
he knocked out Jack Sharkey,
Al Ettore, Jorge Brescia and
Eddie Simms in a comeback.
While it is true Braddock did
not fight, neither did he get
knocked out, and from that
viewpoint he didn't seem to get
any the best of it in the ballot
ing. However, he did get one
break. They might have placed
him down in the next group,
in which case he would find
himself mixed up with such
sterling gladiators as Gunnar
Barlund, Arturo Godoy and
others Of that caliber.
Aside from the heavyweight
division, the Ring ratings
stuck close to the recognized
champions.
John Henry Lewis, light heavy
weight; Freddie SteelS. middle
weight, and Barney Ross, welter-
weight; all champions of their
divisions. are out in front alone.
ContenderS are showed into
groups behind them.
Lou Ambers, lightweight: Petey
Sarron, featherweight; Sixto Es-
cobar, bantamweight, and Benny
Lynch, flyweight, head their
divisions, but others are grouped
with them.

Four thousand spectators braved
intermittent showers to see Wayne
Rideout, of the North Texas
Teachers, and Archie San Romani,
Of the Kansas Teachers, establish
new records in the two and one
mile runs, respectively.
Capacity fields and q Sodden
track contributed to one bad spill
in the half-mile run and q costly
jam in the women's 100-yard dash.
Don Lash's colors were lowered in
the two-mile test. Glenn Cunning
ham was nosed out in a stirring
one-mile duel by Romani; and
the trio of ace American steeple-
chasers, Harold Manning, Glen
Dawson, and Joseph McCluskey,
were outdistanced by young Floyd
Lochner, of the University of
Oklahoma, and Tom Deckard, of
the University of Indiana.
Helen Stephens, the worlds
fastest female sprinter, had to be
much the best in her handicap
century dash, twice overcoming
lots of interference to run in near
record Southern time. The Full
ton (MoO girl was given head
starts ranging from four to ten
yards to a large field and in this
mad dash young Sallie Core and
others were knocked completely
out of it. With the crowd yelling
for a better demonstration of
Helen Stephens skill, she and
Sallie ran an exhibition 50-yard
dash, in which the champion won
with couple Of yards to spare.
With a magnificent squirt in
the last IS yards, Marty Click
man, of Syracuse University, cap
tured the 100-yard dash as Perrin
Walker, of Georgia Tech, weak
ened in the final drive.
AS Brother Blaine Rideout wore
down Lash in a terrific early pace,
Twin Wayne swept the last two
laps to a 15-yard victory over the
worlds record holder in the two
mile. The time of 9:3:5 beat
Lash's old mark by IL seconds.

F ootb Sets
n eW Records

Football established new all-time
highs in all respects along all
fronts in 1885.
The games were uniformly more
colorful, the stars more plentiful,
the top-flight teams better bal
anced, the upsets- so-called-more
frequent, and the crowds Of record
breaking proportions.
The one fly in the ointment Of
an otherwise successful campaign
was the much-diScuSsed forward
pass interference rule which cost
Dartmouth a victory over Prince
ton and paved the way for Nays
lone touchdown over Army.
No team could rightfully lay
claim to an undisputed national
championship. The winner of the
Louisiana State-Santa Clara game
New Year Day may be the answer.
But Minnesota and a dozen or more
others are so close up that it would
be impossible to place them with
sureness in any fair standing.
Teams that were standoutS early
in the season faded under the
stress of too ardous campaigns.
Such a team was Fordham's.
Others were comparatively soft
touches early in the season but
came along to rank with the best.
Tennessee, for example. Still
others were in-and-outers, worthy
to play the best on even terms on
a given day but far below normal
on other days. Such a team was
Princeton's.
How could you place them and
feel sure you were right? Mime
sofa beat a powerful Washington
team, but fell before Northwest

by Notre Dame, which in turn
had been almost disgraced by

by Fordham, which lost to N. Y.

State, so to 0, which was beaten
by Northwestern.
You could store UP a winter
full Of headaches trying to un-
tangle that mix-up. The best one
can do is try to name the better
teams by sections.
In the east, Pittsburgh, Penn,
Dartmouth, Yale, Princeton and
probably were the
strongest.
In the midwest, Minnesota,
Northwestern. Notre Dame and
Ohio State held sway.
In the south, Louisiana State,
Duke and Tennessee

In the southwest, they beat each

a choice, but Arkansas is ranked
on top. Nebraska topped the Mis-

note that the coast seemed a little

 Lightly turns to different things; In the fall November
 A broader viewpoint brings. Our appetites are sharper,
 We like to wine and dine, Eat lots of grapes and apples, And pumpkin pie so fine. Summers tasty broilers
 Fail to whet the appetite, But turkey, duck and pheasant Seem to us about right. We welcome the bracing weather, Feel inclined to go on hikes; The younger bloods are energetic And pedal away on bikes. Golf becomes bit boresome, Football holds the attention, And the swift game of hockey Rates for honorable mention. We settle down to our reading, Brush up our contract game; Chess players, too. buckle down, To capture added fame. Tn the fall ones fancy
 Is intrigued by different things, The latest cut in dress suits, Likewise cabbages and kings.
