NROVIDENCE, r. l., January Is
- R).-It seems impossible to
say anything about boxing dur
ing 1886 without mentioning
the greatest upset Of the year, the
defeat of Joe Louis by Max Schmeling.
Personally, believe it was a great
thing for boxing, because many people
had been led to believe that Louis was
invincible. Schmeling's victory proved
to the whole world that this sport was
on the level, and endeavoring to pro-
duce the best men in the various
classes.
From reports coming into this Office,
boxing is increasing in favor all over
the country. 1t certainly seems TO
have earned this increased patronage,
for I believe that the boxers and their
handlers are doing much better job
than they have in the last three or
four years.
I mean that the boys are well
matched. and in almost every instance
are giving to the best of their ability.

W0uld.Be RefOrmist.

THIS department is no devotee

sort of an open season for
, would-be sports reformists, you
rise to wonder why the gentlemen
who make the intercollegiate boxing
laws do not design few changes to
enhance the growing industry which
our Nations universities are finding
essential to athletic treasures.
This year. for the first time, Uni
versity of Maryland will hold the an
nual Southern Conference tournament
and the Old LinersTwho wrested this
piece de resistance from Virginia are
planning to make it a gala event.
Among the reform items we had in
mind was one having to do with the
seeding of boxers. whose prowess is
better known than some of the other
entrants.

Jacques Victory Example.

Asst week at the University OF
- Maryland neophyte 165-pounder
named Lancelot Jacques, entering the
ring for the first time in his life,
faced Tony Ortenzi of Western Mary
land, undefeated in two or three years
of boxing and champion of something
or other. If these two boys were en-
tered in tine Southern Conference
tournament jacques would be required
to fight in the first round and, if he
made the finals, might have been
compelled to dispose of three of four
opponents.
Ortenzi, with his reputation,
would have been seeded. Pos.
sibly he would not have been
required to fight until the semi
finals. Yet when they fought
last week Jacques gave Mr.. Or
tenzi very workmanlike going
over, as the boys in our set say.
In tournament this feat would
have been extremely prohibitive. JAG.
ques, fighting his way toward Ortenzi,
might have sustained a cut over his
eye. Or he might have drawn a
southpaw and been beaten. Or, even
if he survived, he might have bowed
to Ortenzi because he was too tired
wading through the field.
A couple years ago, when the South
ern Conference tourney was held in
Charlottesville, dangerous Maryland
team entered seven fighters. The
Terps. along with Virginia and Duke,
were favored to win the team trophy.
But when the draw was announced
it was discovered that all seven of
Maryland's fighters had f1rst-round
matches while none of Virginia's en-
tries had to pull on a pair of gloves
until the second round. And then
only one Cavalier boxer went into
action.

some light on it. But, somehow, 1t
seems that when a big affair like the
tournament comes along and scores Of
kids who have trained hard all Winter
are anxious to win a championship,
what is fair for one guy ought to be
fair for ali.
Why shouldn't the highly
favored heavyweight fr m
Siwash be called upon to take
his chance in q pot-luck draw?
Maybe another kid. no less de-
serving, but Just luckier, will
land a lucky punch or open q
cut over the favorite's eye along
the way.
According to the smattering of the
intercollegiate rules in possession Of
this department, it is understood that
four-pound leeway is granted in all
classes. That is to say. If q boy
weighs 179 he can fight In the IT'S
pound class. etc.
College boys accept it without a
protesting murmur, probably because
they don't know. But a professional
would squawk to high heavens if an
opponent had a four-pound weight
advantage. especially If he fought in
a light division. A pro fiyweight or
featherweight would have to make
fairly certain he was fighting q bum
before he would give away four
pounds. A heavyweight doesn't give q
hoot. naturally. -Four pounds is moth
ing to them. Wonder if the confer
ence heads ever gave q thought to
graduating the weight distribution to
conform to the respective divisions?

young Mr.. Schmarr will wind up by

Somewhat overlooked has been the
Cardinal ace in the Brookland sports
set-up, chiefly, probably. because
Catholic University has been concen-
trating on foot ball. Not that Hermie
does not play foot ball, for he has won
three letters at the sport, but the
Whelans and CAROLS and Shearys and
Yanchulises have stood out above
Schmarr.
Topnotcher for Three Years.
AT BASKET BALL, however,
Schmarr has been pretty close to
tops in the District during the last
three years and his record speaks
louder than words As a sophomore in
l934-35 he sank rs field goals and 81
fouls for a grand total of 1s1 points.
He averaged 1133 points per game,
which also led the District courtmen.
AS a junior in 1856 he bettered
this record by making 81 field goals
and "a fouls, for a total of 1913
points, averaging 1854. So far this
season his average hovers around a
dozen points for four games.
Only because Catholic University
does not sponsor base ball teams will
Schmarr miss getting three letters in
each of three sports-foot ball, basket
ball and base ball. In intramural
base ball he is rated the best player
at Catholic University. He plays first
base, captains his team and would like
to take a crack at professional ball
after he graduates in June.
