 Eighth Round

brought down much criticism on bis head and l wanted to find out if he
 thought any of 1t was justified.
 He didn't. He wasn't sore about it-juSt amazed that anyone could have seen 1t any different.
 Louis won in Q breeze, in c walk. He never took Q deep breath from start to flnish," Donovan said. "Farr won just one round in that fight the first one-and I'll stake my reputation as a referee on 1t. 1 couldn't believe my ears when l heard those booS, because 1t was SO obvious from where I was that Joe never had a seconds trouble de. lending his title."
 But Donovan had an explanation for the crowds reaction, and to mo 1t makes sense-much sense.
 T guess the customers had read too much about how Farr was c bum and sucker and 0 pushover," Donovan opined. "They expected to see him belted out of there in 30 seconds, and when he still was In there, round after round, they got so excited, and SO amazed by his gameness, that they couldn't see any other punches but his. The same sort of thing happened the night Bob Pastor stayed ten rounds. Louis won that fight by Q mile, yet at the end of the last round every- body forgot about him in yelling for Bobo. Why, in that fight Monday night I heard the crowd yell lots of times for punches that didn't even land on any part of Louis. And the crowd was always screaming and shouting for punches that Joe caught on his elbows or gloves or shoulders. I've been around boxs ing long time, as Q fighter and then as a referee, and If Louis didn't hit Farr l6 times to then I'm crazy. Yet hear that the man at the radio had Farr winning. That's ridiculous. Tarr never had Q chance of licking Louis. You know all the Welshman showed mo? I'll tell you--the toughest jaw and the gamest spirit l ever saw in any fighter, You know those left jabs Farr took for IS full rounds2 Vel, they were the same ones that ruined Baer in two heats. That's how tough that Tommy is."
 Did he think Louis made a poor fight2
 "He didn't make one of his best ones, but it was c long ways from 0 lousey one. After oil, he defended his title, and that's what he went out there to do. And 1t wasn't c dumb fight he fought, either. I read the day after the fight that Joe was crazy for not throwing more left hooks. I think I know wh y he didn't throw many Remember that fight he had with schmeling2 Well, 1t was 0 left hook that ruined him that night. l was there, and for the first three rounds he didn't do anything but jab the German. Jab. Jab-Jab. And he had him cut Up pretty bad, Then he started hook ing-when no didn't need to-and when he threw one wide Max let him have 0 right that knocked him down and out of his senses. That must have taught Joe something and you can't hardly blame . guy for being smart"
 Donovan thinks that Louis was telling the absolute truth when he said Farr never hurt him at, any time, and that he never was tired.
 T never saw Farr land Q dam. aging punch," Arthur said, land that Louis was In such great shape he could have fought twenty thirty-forty or fifty rounds"

DOBIE ADMITS B. 6. PROSPECTS
 'FAIR' FOR 1887
Gloomy GiI' Says Don't
 Be Ridiculous" to Rose Bowl Talk
BY ERNEST BARCELLA (Unlted Press Staff Correspondent

NUn1ted Press Stair C0rreSpOndent)
 Newton, Mass, Sept. 2-(UP)- Talk about man bites dog" well Gilmour Dobie broke down under lengthy ross-examination today and admitted that "the prospects are fair for pretty good football team" at Boston college this sea- son.
 This was an amazing confession Tor the once gloomy Gil" of the gridiron. In fact, 1t was perhaps the first time in his long and honorable coaching career that he ever has shown even the slightest trace Of optimism.
 But the thin man didn't let him. self 90 entirely.
 Now don't get me wrong" he added. "When I say we ought to have e pretty good team 1 don't mean one that will go through the season undefeated or will win any national championship. AS Q mat. ter of fact the chances aren't even one in 20 that the very best of them will be undefeated. But fl everything goes all right, we ought to have fair team"
 Hard Drill
 Don't think 1t was on easy thing getting oil to admit this. Only yesterday, after driving exactly GO B. c, hopefuls through the flrSt practice session of the New England season in e scorching heat, he was whistling his usually pessimistic tune.
 "1'he prospects aren't very roc bust" he had said, wiping q perspir- ing brow that was shaded by some- thing radically new in coaching re- gala 6 plth helmet (tropical sun bonnet to you).
 We've got 0 tough row to hoe," he added Inournfully, following Q thrso-hour drill. The long lean gentleman obviously was referring to q schedule that consists of success Sive engagements with NorthweS- ern university, Kansas State, Tenn pie, Detroit, North Carolina, Vest ern Maryland, Kentucky, Boston university and Holy Cross.
 Starting his second season aS head coach here, the former Cornell mas ter.nind showed no III effects from his near-fatal automobile accident last winter. He conducted practice practically single-handed and was quick on tho trigger wit hhis re- pleis.
 Promising
 There seems sufficient basis for Dobie's bit of optimism. Headed by Captain Tony Dinatale. nine of the men who last fall started the win- ming Holy Gross game that climaxea q one-defeat season are back. And there Is c flock of promising sonho- more talent, including John zaieSkl the towering tackle from Bridge- port, Conn.
 What type of game did Doble plan to use this soason2
 Open and shut" was the rec ply.
 "open football--paSses and al' that sort of stuff,' he elaborated. "And shut football You know. That business of running plays inside the endS."
 Someone reminded Dobie that B. Q. alumni are hopeful of a Rose Bowl eleven.
 "Humph" he begN ncaustically SLet's not be ridiculousl"
