Ell PASO, Tex, Dec. 3l.-Both the
University of New Mexico Lobos
and Utah University's Rambling
Redskins wound up their pre-Sun
Bowl drill sessions here today with
signal practice-then a rest tomor-
row before Mondays battle.
From secret practice sessions it
appeared likely the heavier Utes
would chew holes in the Lobo line,
whose backfeld, meanwhile, would
be directing an overhead attack
with touchdown threat in every
heave.
The last few days also have made
1t evident Bill Dwyer, crack Lobo
halfback, is out of the picture as a
scoring threat. Favoring his in
jured knee, he was slow getting
away and lacked the ree-swinging
stride that made him one of the
most elusive running backs in the
Southwest.
But to balance the picture, Paul
Snow, one Of Utah's aces, is on the
sidelines with the broken collarbone
he cracked earlier in the season.

sivols' Regulations Seesow
Until Broddock Beots Lewis

BY the time Joe turned pro, on
the 4th of July, 1884, John Henry
vas regarded as real prospect.
Then they began to seesaw. At
!1rst, Lewis was up and Louis was
lust coming. Then Joe knocked out
Camera and Baer and the idea of
John Henry Lewis (who had lost
decision to Jimmy Braddock)
J being matched with him would have
been laughed out of court.
After that came the depression in
louis stock, with Joe's knockout by
Gchmeling and his minuet with Bob
Pastor. People who had seen John
Henry's steady climb among the
l:ght-heavyweights and valued his
cuteness began telling you that
Lewis would outsmart the big guy
II they ever met.
That was last winter. Since then,
Joes prestige has scared again, and
Tthe seesaw is back where it was
Foe up, John down. Today Brother
Lewis is regarded as nothing better
than a guinea pig for the heavy
weight champions winter laboratory,
a hand-picked tuneup fighter
The chances are that he is better
than that, by somewhat, but the
chances also are pretty good that he
is not satisfactory match for the
greatest hitter of the generation.
John Henrys chief difficulty is
that he can't hit. He is a nice look
7ing, standup boxer, full of tricks
, and crammed with guile, and, in a
short bout, he might outpoint the
Beige Bomber, but, in Is rounds,
Joe is pretty sure to find the range
at least once. And when he finds it,
that will be all for John Henry.
Brother Lewis made the light
heavyweight limit for what certainly
should have been the last time when
he fought AL Gamer for the title a
couple of months ago. He was pain
fully unhappy at ITS pounds, and
his performance showed it. No
sooner did they spring the lid after
that one than John Henry shot up
to 187 like jack-in-the-box. That's
what he weighs now, and that is
about what he'll weigh on January
25, when his dream comes true.
It's a dream he couldn't trade me

groggy Dallas trundled out the ticker
tape and cotton lint again today to
give st. Mary's Gaels a welcome to
the site of their Cotton Bowl date

To Dallas it was the fourth such

city was host to Corpus Christi and
Lubbock, schoolboy finalists, in their

The Gaels planned to run the
gauntlet and hurry right out to
Southern Methodist Stadium for
thei- first workout in three days.
Coach Slip Madigan said he would
work st. Mary's both today and

The coaches had a fair idea OF
their starting lineups and strangely

in Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky, Ohio

9,021 ,504.10 in 1887. The figures do
not include Louisiana, where the
State has no control over the sport.
Last years figures were swelled
by the addition of $219 100 90 in de-
linquent collections received by the
State of Kentucky.

John Henry Doesn't Expect
ANY Fovors From His Friend

In other words, the champion

In privacy-in as much privacy as
possible, with the alarm clock set
for 10 am. and lamb chops for
breakfast. Joe's sorrow over the
prospect of whaling his chum has
played hob with his sleep, reducing
his slumber quotient from COL to
500.
To tell the truth, John Henry does
not expect any favors from his SEN
timental young friend.
You know joe" says the light
heavyweight champion. He sees
the man out in front of him in the
ring, and he's not thinking or car
ing about who it is. He has his in
structions how to fight, and he goes
out and gets rid of the man as
quick as he can. He'll fight me like
the restraining to get rid OF me
quick.
Its up to me to stand him off

some icks myself, and win the

I know more about this business

can't. Listen, this is the chance
I dreamed about all my life. I
won't muff it,"
These two men arrived in big
time boxing almost simultaneously,
though John Henry had head
start. The records say that John
Henry is only 13 days older than
Joe. The records are about as re-
liable as usual in this case. The
lighter man-Lewis-is a full two
years older than the big fellow
