eight clubs engaging in tonight's con-
ference court program.
Illinois and Minnesota, holders of
first and second place in the title
scramble. respectively, won't be forced
out of the running If they lose, but
Purdue, Michigan, Indiana and Ohio
State will be battling to retain mathe-
matical chances at the championship.
The Illinois-Purdue contest at
Champaign. which will draw 1000
fans, rates top billing.
Minnesota is expected to down Iowa.
Indiana will battle Michigan and the
outcome practically will eliminate one
club from title consideration. Ohio

OS ANGELES, February is
One night, in a light fight club
In Chicago, away back in 1904,
a boy slaOed for one Of the
preliminaries failed to show up, and
bunch of kids in the cheaper seats
yelled to one Of their number:
go on, BritainI You get in there
and fight!"
"Britain's" right name was Will

in New Britain, Conn, and his mates

He didn't want to fight. He was a
skinny little guy and good street
corner hghter-but this was different.
He was scared to death. But the crowd
took up the cry for Britain" and
finally he climbed down from the seats
and went into the dressing rooms and
borrowed pair Of t hts.
He went in and knocked out kid
named Steve Kinney in one round,
but 1t was rough-and-tumble round,
and the exertion, plus the nervous
state into which he had been thrown
by his sudden appearance in the ring.
was almost too much for him. so that
he was sick and exhausted when he
returned to the dressing room. Right
there he vowed he never would fight
again.
Thus began one of the most amaz-
ing careers in the history of the ring
for it was not until 26 years later
that he made good on the vow he had
taken that night.

Jack Favors Old Timers.

I'VE always thought the old-time
fighters we're better than the ones
around today BY "old time" I mean
fighters of the previous generation,
from Sullivan's time on. They were
the glove fighters. Back in the old
historic bare-knuckle days, before
prize fighters learned how to box bit.
and they just stood up and whaled
away at each other without resorting
to footwork or science, perhaps they
weren't as good as the ones who came
after.
But Corbett, Fitz. jeff and the rest
spent lot more time training than
our fighters do today, or than the
fighters of the last 10 or Is years even
did. And that gave them ruggedness
and stamina
The "Jedge" came up with sug-
gestion that kid Mccoy had some
stuff that maybe we might include in
our champ"
Well, when it comes to that, maybe
there we're a lot of fellows who could
be used in building our ideal heavy
weight for all time What's your idea?

Corbett Fast and Smart.

WELL, then, we'd give our man the
wv footwork and ring generalship,
plus cleverness of a Jim Coroett, the
strength and stamina Of a Jim JEFF
fries and the defensive ability of a
Jack johnson.
Seems to me if a fellow had all
these things he'd be pretty close to
unbeatable against any fighter that
ever lived.
However. some of the boys always
will say modern fighters are as good,
If not better than these old-timers.
That's always useless argument, but
while we're about it, how about this
combination:
Let's take the left of Joe Louis. Joe
isn't champion, but he has a good
left hand right now. think Id pre-
fer Max Baer's right, for he certainly
could put an awful lot on it when he
was at his best. Schmeling had good
right, but Max doesn't throw his
enough.
He did in the fight with Louis, but
against Sharkey and Baer thought
Max was too stingy with his right.

~ ANSAS CITY, February IS CP)
u So confident that even his

L ~ Brown wound up his training
here today for his 10-round fight with
Joe Louis Wednesday night.
Brown, 2O0-pound Washington,
D. c., Jew, is one of the few boxers

since the Detroit Negro turned profess
sional two and half years ago. Louis
won the decision in 10 rounds in De-

Schmeling Has Strength.

WELL give our man the strength
Nv of a Schmeling. the cleverness
and ring generalship of a Tommy
Loughran, the headWork of Gene
Tunney and the gameness and stam-
ina of a Jimmy Braddock.
That, too, makes q doggoned good
champion-one who would be tough
for any fighter. But think the other
combination woUft1 beat this one.
Just imagine a heavyweight with
the crafty cunning of old Fitz and his
terrible solar plexus blow, the great
power of the old boilermaker, jeff;
the killing right of John L., and the
hashy speed and cleverness of Corbett.
A fight between our two imaginary
battlers surely ought to be a treat. 1t
certainly wouldn't be any cakewalk.
For naturally both of these composite
champs would have the fighting heart
Of q champion.
I think the deciding factor in a con-
test of this kind would be the stamina
thing-the ability to take and absorb
punishment, for certainly both would
be able to hand it out.

QUESTIONED in his dressing room
x after yesterdays workout, Brown
replied, Certainly I don't fear him.
If anything, it is the other way

Jim Mcnamara, who is here serving

Capital City veteran is confident Of
winning Wednesdays fight because Of
his triumph over Johnny Winters,
Pontiac, Mich, Negro, in Detroit last
December.
Around Detroit fans were saying
that Winters would lick Louis. Then
Brown came in and drubbed Winters,

to admire so much have stepped out
to night clubs with their dates.
Of COURSE, no girl knows what
hidden longings are in the heart
OF man. but judging from observa-
ton she is not to be blamed for con-
| Guiding that if modern young men
| pine for ld-faShioned virtues in
young women they give a remarkably
successful exhibition of suppres
desire. In fact, so far as the domestic
girl sees it, the girl with the fewest
lnhibitions and the least domesticity
| goes the fartheSt and the fastest and
has the most beaux and the best
times.
That this is sadly true we are bound
to admit. Men, especially young men,
| are not attracted to women by their
| good qualities and they do not marry
them because they would make good
wives. No woman was ever a belle
because she had taken half dozen
college degrees. No boy ever asked
girl to dance because she was
kind to her grandmother, or could
make a good chocolate pie. 1t is the
pretty little girls with come -hither
look in their eyes, and not the house.
hold angels, who have men f1ocking
around them like bees around q
honeypot.
Hence, it being matter of common
knnU1pSpn thaf fhero
sweet, shy little violets who were born
to blush unseen in their own parlors,
and that the world is filled with old
maids who were cut out by Nature to
make ideal wives, it is flabbergasting
to learn that it is the old-fashioned
domestic type of wife, with all the
traditional feminine virtues, that men
prefer as wives.
X X X
HOWEVER, this apparent incon-
sistency in the taste of men for
women need surprise no one, for it
has ever been their wont to marry
for one thing and then expect their
wives to be something totally different.
They are attracted by glamour, but
they want hard reality to live with.
A man falls in love with a gadabout
because she is gay companion who
is always ready to go places and do
things but he wants stay-at- home
wife who will never want to go farther
than the nursery or the kitchen
He likes to take girl out who is
a fashion-plate and who makes every
body rubber who sees her, but he
wants his wife to cut her dress budget
and hunt for bargains in the base
ments. A man may run around with
wild women who haven't moral or a
principle in their whole constitution
but he wants his wife to believe in
God and say her prayers and be with
out reproach. And so, perhaps, that
explains why the old-fashioned do
mestic girl so seldom has dates, but
is just the kind of wife that every
man wants. It's after marriage that
he prefers her. DOROTHY DIX.

Manners
of the
Moment

Lave you ever noticed how, when
a man has to set table, he al
ways manages to get the forks and the
knives on the wrong sides? Most men
that we know make the mistake a
little too consistently to give us much
faith in their innocence. But even so
we're willing to take them at their
face value and to give them little
lesson in table setting.
For Men Only.
/. The knife goes where it will be
the easiest to pick up when you want
to cut your roast beef. If you consider
that to be either out in the mid lie of
the table or over on the left han side
of the plate, we have no quarrel with
you. Well just have to let you go
your own Bohemian way.
2. Spoons should be treated like
knives Think where you'd be most
likely to reach for them if you were
about to have soup or floating island.
8. Forks go where knives and
spoons aren't. Not that it's conven-
lent. But it gives a little symmetry
to the table
And, 4, speaking Of symmetry, how
about making knives and forks run
parallel to each other instead of at
odd angles? Oh, well, of course, if you
think it looks prettier all cockeyed,
have it your own way. But don't think
you're going to get out of setting the
table on the maids night out. Don't
even dream of it. JEAN.

known and we'll liked, including gar
denia and carnation. This amusing
gift is bound to please.
Equally in the spirit of the season
is an attractive blue box with a white
velvet Gala lily holding within its
petals a dram-sze bottle of an exuui-
site perfume. Or perhaps your taste
runs to Easter eggs, in which case YOU
would choose unique hand-painted
egg tied with dainty ribbons, inside
of which nestles two cakes Of June
geranlum bath soap, or again three
croWn-Shaped fiacons of perfume set
within a bright colored egg in the
true Russian tradition reminiscent of
handicapped eggs. A hyacinth printed
folding box adds further to the gifty
look OF these fragrant Easter eggs.

A MOTHER Easter presentation is
the little basket of deep blue
bakelite which holds a tWo-dram
bottle of popular perfume. The
basket will later make a handy con-
tainer for trinkets The outside of
the box is amusing and colorful too.
One Of the Cleverest ideas in cos
metics that we have seen in a long
time is called foursome. 1t is
perfectly adorable cylindrical affair
with four compartments which come
apart and give you three generous
round boxes of cleansing cream, night
cream and face powder. and when
you unscrew the button top, there is
your rouge. 1t is less than five inches
high, and comes in a CAV cotton
bandanna. suggesting how easily you
can gather together all your beauty
needs in a jiffy and be ready to start
of for an overnight trip or a much
longer stay. Here is everything but
your lipStick and mirror, and YOU
could even use the creme rouge on
your lips in a pinch. This little kit
will surely appeal TO the college girls
home on vacation.
One more perfume suggestion, and
that is those adorable little satin bags
in several colorS that draw up with
silken cords. and contain unusual
purse-size flacons of perfume in
Spring fiorals. Also sketched is the
smart looking green crystal bottle.
and back of it the satin case. which
will give you an idea of what fas-
cinating little gift it is.
