teresting to watch the effect the |
Marriage Clinic had on some Of the
kids. / mean they really asked
Mrs. F. G. Atkinson, the speaker,
plenty of questions. And her ad-
vice was of the best. One gal asked
the question, "How can you tell
what you are really marrying?
Most boys when they're engaged
don't show their worse side" To
this the speaker just replied, well,
if you are smart enough you can
see right through the velour cr
velvet covering of boy and tell
just what he is actually like" (You
engaged gals take the hint before
it's too late. OF course you must
expect that no mans perfect any
how.) One popular boy about town
was quite worried about the atti-
tude one should have when en-
gagged. l guess he thought that
one should not be tied down as
rigidly as if one were married.
To this the speaker agreed en-
phatically. We got the biggest
kick out Of that session and some
of those engaged couples who were
gazing at each other and nudging
one another, as well as some who
were not engaged, got some good
advice and something worth while
to ponder on. At the dance
which followed the conference
everyone who remained had just a
swell time. And do you want tc
know why? Because there was g
vast amount of under-handed rug
cutting. (Now don't get scared,

Who said the Washington Red
skins, world professional football
champions, were going to make it
tough for the District colleges?
From the reports of what George
Washington University is getting
in the way of a freshman football
candidate indirectly through the
Redskins-well, there's another
thought coming on the question.
According to Ed "Chug" Justice,
veteran halfback of the Redskins,
his brother Clarence, a strapping
wingman weighing in the neigh
borhood of 205 pounds, will ma
circulate at George Washington
University early next month.
The lad was given all-WaShing-
ton State scholastic rating for the
last two years and is billed to enter
the Colonial institution at the sug-
gestion of "Chug," who is anxious
to keep an eye on the younger

ARMSTRONG SET
FOR LOU AMBERS

NEW YORK, Aug 16 G.N.S).
An encore to their previous COM
pletion of heavy training for their
lightweight title battle has been
played by Champion Lou AmberS
and Henry Armstrong and once
more everything is set for their
meeting after a weeks postpone
ment.
Handlers of both fighters said
they had come through the extra
period in fine style. Armstrong,
in fact, was in better all around
shape because of the delay, which
gave a cut eye and lip more time
to heal.
Ambers, after two fast rounds
at his Summit, N. J. camp, scaled
1874 pounds and will weigh in at
about that figure at noon tomor-
row. Armstrong. at Pompton
Lakes, N. j., weighed 135, or
exactly the division limit.
FLOORS SPAR MATE
The latter, by way of putting
a finishing touch to so rounds of
training boxing, floored one of
his spar mates with a sharp left
hook in his final session and with
that proclaimed himsef ready to
win his third title in the last 10
months.
The program for both fighters
today called for a looSening up,
and they will drive here tomorrow
morning, according to present
plans for the last minute formali-
ties before the New York Boxing
Commission.
All this will be a reenactment
of the scene of last Wednesday
when they were rained out at the
Polo Grounds and thus taken into
Madison Square Garden for to-
morrow night by Promoter Mike
Jacobs.

The brilliant and promising

which held so much hope of fame

say definitely that he will not

covery."
Asked how long Abrams would
be in the hospital, DR.. DeMayo re-
piled George would be in bed at
least two weeks. The boxer is rest

GEORGE COLLAPSES
It was learned Abrams was hurt
as early as the second round but
refused to reveal his plight to his
manager, sgd Fishel, who was mys-
titled by his inept performance.
After the bout, George walked
falteringly to his dressing room
and then collapsed completely. He
babbled incoherently for several
moments yelling mice fight,
Steve" and "oh, I can't make it."
Right then and there Fishel told
this writer that if the injury were
serious he would never permit
Abrams to box again.

Ffshel said huskily as his protege
lay gasping on the rubbing table.
land I don't intend to see him
hurt. AS far as I'm concerned,
Abrams has fought his last fight
unless he RECEIVERS completely
and is without a shadow Of a
doubt fit to box again"
OLD AILMENT
1t was learned that Abrams first
complained of this injury more
than six months ago and has been
stricken at intervals with the same
ailment. Fishel had George ex:
amined by a chiropractor who
localized the pain by setting it in
the region of the Sacroiliac-the
base of the spine. After a few
treatments, Abrams was reported
to have been entirely cured.
Last week, however, he felt the
injury twice-last Wednesday and
Friday. Abrams told no one Of the
fleeting pain believing the twinge
was inconSequential.
