Wouldn't Last on Gridiron.

WHY can't college athlete make
w any headway in a game that
calls for the best speed, power, CO.
ordination, durability, gameness? The
average fighter wouldn't last 20
minutes in foot ball game against
Pittsburgh or Minnesota. Blockers
and tacklers from these two teams
would have Braddock, Schmeling and
Louis looking for the nearest exit in
less than a period.
About the second a Bronko Ma
gurski ran over any leading heavy
weight now around, you'd need two
anlbulances. Yet fourth class
heavyweight can make almost any
college fighter or ex-college fighter
look like a collection of rusty junk.

Third -Rater Stops Torrance.

THERE was Jack Torrance of L. S.
U. Torrance was something more
than a human mastodon who could
toss the shot 81 feet. He was also g.
good lineman at L. S. U. and a member

Bob Pastor went 10 rounds against

Eddie Hart still figures the public at
large will hear a lot more about Ralph
Odell.
The Iowa entry is only part COL
kTian. He played end on Howard
jones freshman team at Southern
California before abandoning foot
ball for pugilism. He traded the turf
for the rosin in nid-season, but still
he went to college. And Mike Can't
well. who one trained Ty Cobb and

Hart about it.
It might be recorded that Mike
trained Max when he fought Max

CTEVE HAMAS went farther up than
any collegian in this game. The
Nittany Lion from Penn State whipped
Max Schmeling, who had just been
heavyweight champion of the world
But after that Schmeling handed
Steve such a murderous Walloping
that Steves leather career closed out
abruptly.
The two best prospects ever saw
were Monte Mum, the big tackle from
Eebraka, and Al Lassman of N. Y. U.
Both were around feet 3, and both
weighed around 215.
Mum got way to fine start and
than blew the works He was big, fast,
sttp1g, game and he could hit. But
he started too late.
I always thought Al Lassman was a
sure shot for the title until his final
foot ball game against Carnegie Tech
lett him wrecked for life.
Lassn1an was something more than
big, fast fellow who could punch.
He could also box-he loved the game
and he knew what it was all about.
He was the top of all the college fight
ers with few kilometers to spare.
But he never had his chance in the
professional ring.

WHO are they and what have they
ever done to distinguish them
selves? Let's take them one at q time
and find out.
II your memory is good you'll recall
that little st. Anselm's College had
one of the few undefeated teams of
the country last year and that it's
late-season tie with Holy Cross prob
ably was the only factor that kept
that team from being the East's choice
for the Rose Bowl. Well, Spirida was
the regular punter for St. Anselm's
and it was his kicking in the Holy
Cross game that kept the Crusaders
away from the Saints goal-line.
Peterson hardly needs an fntroduc-
ton to District fans for they land
especially Catholic University sup
porters) saw enough of him one Fall
afternoon at Brookland last year to
know he Is good. Peterson Is At his
best In the open field and his per-
formance against the Cardinals played
its part in the upset victory for the
visitors over Dutch Bergman's Orange
Bowl eleven.
The Redskins may have lost = good
center when they traded Pete Bausch
to the Chicago Bears but they expect
to md his successor in Kawal or
Smith. Flaherty calls Kawal one of
the best and most reliable snapper
backs in pro ranks today, while Smith,

1895, has An equal chance for the
post Both are fighting for the only

competed for by the same men who

choice last season when he wound up

Hall, = teammate Of Peterson last
year, was considered one OF the best
and toughest linemen for West Vir-
ginia Wesleyan, while Michaels made

Incidentally, all of the above-and

CROWN GOLF FINAL
PAR-bEATERS' DUEL
Goodman, Bi||ows, Seeking
Title Fischer Lost, Hit Low
Scores in Semis.
BY the ASSocia ted Press,

By the Associated Press.
NORTLAND, Oreg., August 28-
- This was golf coronation day
at the Alderwood Club, with
the crowning Of a new national
amateur champion-either roly-poly
Johnny Goodman Of Omaha or youth
full Ray Billows of Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
Johnny was getting his second crack
at the title as flnalist. and he was
a heavy favorite largely because of his
reputation and his icy disposition un-
der fire.
He muffed his first chance in 1882,
when he was knocked off by Ross
Somerville. the Canadian star from
London, Ontario
Goodman and 23-year-old Billows
were down for a 36-hole struggle, the
winner to gain the title relinquished
yesterday by Johnny Fischer Of Gin
cinnati, whose game collapsed COM
pletely under the fancy iron work Of
the New York State champion.
Billows Wastes Little.
FISCHER, dropping nine strokes to
par, lost to Billows, and S, the
match ending at the thirty-f1rst. Bill
lows, despite only fair putting, wasted
but one stroke.
Goodman, q pre-tournament favor
ite, had q narrow escape, l up. in 4
dizzy battle with Marvin (Bud) Ward,
young tax collector of Olympia,
Wash.
Johnny had to travel to the last
hole, where he watched Ward boot q
chance for birdie which would have
squared the match.
Goodman and Ward both were two
strokes under par for the 36 holes
equaling the qualifying score of l42.
Billows won the first three holes of
the afternoon round and Goodman
could do nothing about it.
Par in Dangerous Spot.
THE New York State amateur cham
pion has never been very far
from par in any Of his matches here.
II ne happens to regain his putting
touch and Goodman keeps his, old
man par may have to scurry to cover
and stay there in the final
Goodman had one advantage over
Billows today. The Poughkeepsie
youth couldn't help but remember
that Johnny gave him = 2-And-l lick
ing in the quarter finals of the 1882
national.
Fischer, every part of his game
wobbly at times, fell one down tc
young Billows in the morning round
and dropped five more In the after.

LIE GAVE me the driver and
gave him the bunny foot and
another driver, and he went on and
won his match. Just a few years ago
I saw him and he told me he still has
that rabbit foot. Said he wouldn't
give it up.
But these steel shafts really have
speeded up the game. The boys are
hitting the ball farther and straighter
than they hit it with wooden shafts
and the scoring has gotten faster. In
fact, the whole game is much faster
than it was 10 years ago, whether the
clubs are made by man or machine.
But I wish we could get present prices
for some Of those benchmade clubs We
used to turn out back in the old days
six bucks was a good price then
for driver, and they get IL today"
