a LAX ScHMEL1Nc will knock out Joe
M Louis in short, fast fight.
8V8 That's bold beginning, isn't it?
But as a fighter always tried to get to the
point right off the bat.
However, had better hasten to add that
the fight between Louis, the champion. and
Schmeling, the challenger. next Wednesday
night is one of the most difficult heavyweight
championship battles of our generation to
forecast And that includes my two fights with
Gene Tunney.
In all the other heavyweight title bouts of
recent days, the guesser has always had some
peg on which to hang his hat. But this one
things to be considered. than any fight l
recall. The only thing about it that's posi-
lively certain is:
The fight will not go the distance. It will
end in knockout.
But in trying to pick the winner don't just
say, 'Schmeling knocked him out the last
time and he ought to do it again. That's like
saying, The Yankees won yesterday 50 they
ought to win today" Too much happens in
fight between two evenly matched fellows
that won't happen when they meet again.
For example, think Schmeling won the
first fight with Louis at the end of the second
round. If you recall, they had been mixing it
hotly when the bell rang; Louis dropped his
hands and Schmeling, who had started
punch, couldn't stop it and it blasted smack
dab on Louis jaw That punch was the turn
ing point of the fight. Louis never fully
recovered from the blow.
The punch was entirely accidental. but the
ably won't happen again.
Another thing in Louis favor is the fact
that he has trained harder for this fight than
he did for the last one. Like the experts, Louis
thought that first battle would be just
warm-up. His training camp was more like
sideshow at Coney Island. There has been no
such tomfoolery this time.
And remember one more thing. Despite the
terrific beating Louis took from Schmeling he
still managed to recuperate enough midway
in the fight to come close to knockout. In
that seventh round he landed several fierce
punches to the body that could feel where
was sitting 1t was Joe's dying stand, and he
almost won the fight that round. One more
punch, and he might have. Will he land that
one more punch in this fight? After all, when
two highly skilled, well trained boxers are in
the ring, every solid punch is lucky punch.
Both Schmeling and Louis are devastating
punchers Max has one of the finest right

of the best two-fsted punchers in history. He

instead of letting Bae come back and win;
and he wouldn't have fddled around with the
wobbly Louis for an extra eight rounds as he
did in their last fight. Schmeling is too
deliberate, too cautious, in my opinion. to be
a great fighter; but maybe I'm prejudiced in
favor of those reckless babies.
As for Louis, he was probably the best
2l-year-old heavyweight in history, but he
hasn't gone on from there. Before their last
fight, Schmeling told newspapermen: Il zee
comet 'ings." Well. zee met'ings, too.
There are still too many flaws in Louis fight
ing armor. He's good fighter. mind you, but
not great one. Gene Tunney would have cut
him to shreds. Bill Brennan would have beaten
him easily.
Worst of his flaws is his failure to learn how
to stop right hand punch to the head. He
just won't keep his left high enough to block
an opponent s right. He should have learned
his lesson during the last fight with Schmeling,
but he failed to show any Improvement along
this line in his last three fights with major
opponents. Old Jim Braddock dropped him
with a right in the first round last summer
in Chicago; Tommy Farr, the powder puff
puncher from England, hit him frequently
with rights; and Nathan Mann belted the
champion couple of times in the first two
rounds of their brief battle.
None of these fighters punches with the
deadly force or accuracy of Schmeling, and if
they can find Louis chin, so will Max - with
more serious results.
This failure to block a right hand punch
becomes an almost impossible handicap when
you remember that Louis is so physically con-
structed that he can't stand up we'll under a
solid blow to the head. I've been quoted as
saying that Louis can't take punch. That
implies that Joe hasn't the courage to take
punishment Nothing could be further from
the truth He is as game as they come. He will
take punch and he wiN get up when he is
hit and hurt, but unfortunately his physical
makeup is such that, game as he is, he simply
can't absorb stiff right hand to the head.
A lot of experts think Louis has been gun
shy since his knockout by Schmeling. would
say he was just more cautious. The experts,
however, think this caution is going to hurt
him. I'm not so sure of that. think his eau

whip Louis The night seconded Max Baer
against Joe got the idea that fighter who
could take punch should keep on top of
Louis because Joe's punching isn't as effective
when he is in action as when he can set him:
SELF kept telling Baer to go in and throw
punches If he done it, think he, instead of
Schmeling, would have exploded Louis.
My theory was proved by Tommy Farr.
He waded right into Louis and forced him.
If Tommy could punch harder l think he
would have knocked Louis out that night
Studying this match, though, we've got to
remember that Schmeling may be fighting
two opponents instead of one. Father Time
might step into the food-lighted arena and
fight side by side with Joe Louis. The German
is 33 years old; Louis only "a. There's an old
proverb that says youth must be served.
Schmeling has long since passed the age when
most fighters start down-grade. Thus far, the
"Schlager" has been one of the few exceptions.
But, sooner or later, the years are bound to
take their toll The old man with the scythe
is one guy fighter can't beat forever. The
first thing he does is to grab hold of your legs.
l know In those two fights with Tunney l
could hardly move And that S where Schmeling
will feel it when age begins to hit him.
However, if, as am pretty certain, the
fight is a short one, Schmellng should not be
bothered by his age under any condition.
But there's the bell...
And may the better man win!

NEW YORK. Nov l6. tUP) -
Cornell the team which was going

week among the eastern greats.
Whipped by a l9-point Syracuse

Cornell bounced back last Saturday

every player and coach-a perfect

ABOARD THE YACHT NELLUC,

first oyster ever caught on light
tackle, with raw chicken liver for
kait, was landed by me today after

The Spartans are ready for this
