n YEW YORK, December IA
nj Hollywood promoter wants to
" match Joe Louis with Make
Rosenbloom. How would Make
do against Joe? That's not hard To
ind out, because there's the old SLAP
per himself, climbing out Of the ring
over yonder, ready as ever to answer
questions.
It'd be a slaughter" says Mr..
RoSenbloom
What he really says Is "udbyash-
lawtuh." but I often hnd it necessary
to translate Makes remarks into
English for publication, because he
speaks q phonetic language all his
own.
It'd be q slaughter" says Mr..
Rosenbloom.
Make has Just been introduced to
the crowd in Mike Jacobs tight club.
He has raised his hands above his
head in the ring along with some
other fair fighters. but he keeps by
himself and does not talk to the rest
of the boys.
Il got out Of the habit Of
taIkin' to people," he explains.
Il been down in Australia"
Don't they talk English down
the-e?"
II don't know" says Make.
How did you enjoy the trip, MAXI"
Couldn't Find Anybody.
THEY amt nobody down there" +"
says Make Its Just like up
here, only they amt nobody down
there"
Some Of the boys were saying that
you had o one-way ticket to Australia
and couldn't get back"
Nav" says Make. II could get
back. Amt I here?"
Mr.. Rosenbloom scratches his chin
to emphasize this strong train Of
logic.
Well, what about LOUISE Is there
any chance of you fighting him?"
II don't know" says Make. Il
think he's scared to take the fight.
He knows I'd slice him"
Mr.. Rosenbloom is beginning to
warm up now. Australia Is behind
him. He jabs the air tentatively with
his left hand.
He knows I'd slice him" says
Make. I'D knock him out, all right.
That's a good bet"
How would you fight Louis, Maxie?"
Mr.. Rosenbloom saws the air gently
with his left, holding his right hand
by his hip.
"An' two, an two" he says.
This is sort of elliptical.
How is that again, Maxie?"
Listen" says Mr.. Rosenbloom,
shaking the last cobweb on his
tonsils, Louis wouldn't bother
me, because he couldn't get close
to me-. 1 fought guys like Louis
before. 1 cut 'em with the left,
and then stop 'em."

A FELLOW had to love the game to

Leemans is, he looked like a selling

thought that Edwards was the greatest

Notre Dame end, was brilliant. The
Giants never had chance. The
game was nowhere near as close as
the 14-to-0 score might indicate.
In all, 1t was quite . sight
to see the Giants monopoly on
the Eastern title finally broken.
The rain never stopped pouring.

his own 25-yard line and raced rs

to turn on the powerful arc lights.

but that the better team won, and

Redskins won't beat the Packers at

7 os ANGELES. Calif., December
Foot bali still Is . game in
which inspiration Is o big fac
- tor. The players can be fred
for . great effort ON given day, and.
If their spirit Is sufficiently robust, it
will endure through so minutes Of play
in which they are likely to outdo
themselves.
But underlying that spirit must be
good physical condition and lot Of
sound foot ball sense. Plus these two,
spirit very often will make the differ
ence between the two contending
teams. But not spirit alone. Not any
more. The game has advanced to q
point where coach no longer can take
q poorly equipped team. give it tight
talk and see it come through against
q well drilled, physically fit team, which
also has some spirit Of its own. The
will to die for dear old whoods or the
memory Of q departed hero or even
as may be the case-for the coach's
job, can be badly dented by q hard
charging enemy line and set Of backs
who know how to follow their blockers.
Take the Harvard team that came
up so strongly as the season moved
along. recovering from bad beating
by Army and then going on to tie
Princeton and take Yale right down
to the last gasp before the decision
went to Kelley. Frank & Co.
That Harvard team had plenty
Of spirit. But it also was a we'll
coached team that matured
under fire.
Dick Harlow. one Of the ablest
coaches In the country, taught the
boys Q lot Of frst-rate foot ball. They
couldn't absorb it in a hurry, but, by
hammering away at it, they finally got
the hang Of 1t. That was when they
started to 60 places.
