aire oilmen in Oklahoma be-
came interested in the Okla
homa institution. They scanned
the nation for a great coach
and Henderson was their final
choice. He transferred to Tulsa
at a flattering salary and then
Howard Jones was rendered the
post at Southern California.
Henderson is not new to
Washington. -Four times in re-
cent years he led his Tulsa Uni
versity eleven against George
Washington University here,
winning three out of four of
these interSectional tits by
showing a wide-open style Of
football that made it one of the
paramount collegiate drawing
cards ever to play here.
He retired as Tulsa coach
two years ago to accept the
reins of the Los Angeles Bull
dogs. In exhibition games
played against teams Of the Ma
tional Pro loop this year, he de-
feated the Pittsburgh Pirates
twice and the Cleveland Rams,
and went through an unde-
feated home season.

being the kind of fighter that
must have plenty of action to keep
in tune.
However, they already have es.
tabliShed him as a 2 to l favorite
over Lewis, despite his layoff and
everything else on the premise
that Louis can take John Henry
once day through the week and
twice on Sunday.
The latter will begin going
through the motions at Summit,
N. j., either tomorrow or Friday,
his part in the plot to be the
same as that played by the
Nathan MannS, Harry Thomases,
and others who finally were carted
away feet first, challengers for
only a moment or two.
LEWIS LIGHT PUNCHER
Apparently everybody is com.
mitted to taking the fight with.
out any seriousness whatever
which probably makes sense, at
that, considering that Louis is
Louis and John Henry is some.
thing less than a raging terror.
The latter still is recognized be.
yond the pale Of the New York
Commission as light heavyweight
champion and critics generally are
agreed that he is a pretty good
fighter, especially on the boxing
side. but he doesn't hit with too
much authority and figures to get
caught sooner or later. Anyhow,
that's what they are saying now
three weeks ahead of the fight.

NEW YORK, Dec. % G.N.SD.
After seven months of lolling in
the lap Of luxury, a state he at
tained by defending his title more
often than any other heavyweight
champion in modern ring history,
Joe Louis was expected to arrive
at Pompton Lakes, N. j., to begin
training for his next defense
against John Henry Lewis, at
Madison Square Garden, the mid
die of January.
Repeatedly already toughened
up some by virtue of several weeks
in the Michigan woods, Louis will
work lightly until Sunday, then
begin to take on the customary
assortment Of animated punching
bags in daily sparring sessions. All
preparations lead to his going into
the ring for a battle after the
longest layoff he has experienced
since he hit the real big time.

When he was knocked out by
Max Schmeling, his handlers
Immediately attributed the catas-
trophe to the fact that Louis had
been idle too long, but he has
