Rated as the best all-round back in
Virginia, Mel Henry will head Techs
offense against State and Coach
Henry Redd could not have chosen a
better man. Henry runs hard and fast
throws footballs like they were base
balls, and punts.
Blackwell Davis is Techs 227 pound
left tackle who is probably the big
gest man in the Southern Conference.
Few gains have been made over him
and Tech followers are depending up.
on him to check States Eddie Little
Buzz2r" Berlinski and Art Rooney.
Tech will play it's best game Satu~-
day night. The Virginians are wc-4
ing hard in their mountain home and
dream at night of a win over State.
They have beaten State Il times in
Fl games and think it's time for thai
18th victory.

Sheer, Raw Courage
Writes Final Note
in Braddock Defeat

THE job took longer than had
been expected. That was sore
disappointment to the sure-thing
gentlemen who had gambled heavily
upon an ending within six rounds.
But when the inevitable did happen
it came quickly. That was just as
well. Long minutes had elapsed
since even the most ardent Irish
man in the ball park had ceased
believing that a torn, leg-weary,
year-worn Jim Bradd0ck was any
match for the newest heavyweight
champion of the world.
Joe Louis, youngest holder-in
point of service as well as of years
of the most celebrated and profit
able title in the prizefght business
now, merely performed as expected
while winning. Stronger, better con-
ditioned, almost ten years young
er than the gamester who fought
him in the manner he likes best,
Joe looked far better than he did
against Max Schmeling and Bob
Pastor. He could have looked far
worse and still have won as he did
with a short right to the jaw after
one minute and ten seconds of the
eighth round.

far as technical perfection was con-

to the floor, crumpled over on his
side and remained there, knocked
out for the first time.
That was because-four rounds of
the job that took longer than was
expected-there was fighting
chance that the inevitable would
never arrive. Braddock, shrewd,
cool, determined, gambling on a
happy ending before tired legs and
a strong young opponent could do
their work, won three of those first
four rounds. They were the first,
second and fourth. He was fight
ing too straight up, leading too
much against the best counter
puncher of the day, but there he
was-standing up, leading and Win

tale quivers in muscle-tensed legs.
That is what the crowd was doing.
The new champion was money ia
vorite in his home town but the
early cheers were for the underdog.
Braddock dropped Louis with a
short right to the chin towards the
end of the first round. Louis was
up without count but there were
cheers even in the press row at this
not too easily foreseen development.
The fact that Braddock's eye had
been cut by furry of blows when
they tangled on the ropes passed
unnoticed.
So also for the next four rounds

Ing. so ne was but
it was not enough of licking. He
was strong and there were more
rounds to go.
In the sixth it became certain
that the inevitable would not be long
delayed. There was a cut under
Braddock's eye as well as over it
and a splotchy red-bruised patch
showed on his ribs. In the seventh
Jim was in there pitching, trying
hard to land a lucky punch.
Louis merely boxed him, counter
punched, dealt out more punish
ment. Perhaps Joe was displaying
an improved defense then, a vastly
different style from what he offered
against the hard-hitting Schmeling
and the youthful Pastor.
Joe seemed fast, calm because
he was young and winning. Be-
cause legs could no longer carry the
man in front of him. For all the
world it was like-but there already
is too much imagery in sports writ
ing. have no intention of offering
mere any WOrQ picture OF a torn
and bleeding lion still clawing with

Jim Braddock was not a great

perfection goes. Those final rounds
were what too many of us who knew
him well had dreaded all along.
Sheer, raw cOurage-the proper
word is guts-cOmpeted bloodiIy

something prevents me from writ
