BASKETBALL
DUNBAR ASSOCIATES WIN

Playing a fast and colorful game of
basketball at the Roxbury Memorial
High School Gym, last Friday, Janu-
airy 18th, the Dunbar Associates, of
Cambridge, skipped ahead of the
Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Team to
hang-up a score of 28-18. Playing
their initial game of the season, the
Omegas presented strong and animated
to the sporting Cambridge
team. The Dunbar Associates proved
that they are well-coached, and an ag-
that speaks fluent basketball
lingo. The Omegas made a heaving
lunge ahead of their opponents in
thrilling play in the last quarter, but
fell short when the Dunbar Associates
made some battling plays. Outstand-
ing players for the Dunbar Associates
were J. Ridley, W. Burke, and Spen-
Ger. The Omegas offered two star
players in Ransome and Magbie.

IT'S "HANK" AGAIN

Little perpetual motion" Henry
Armstrong, double title-holder, encoun-
tered tough and clever foe in "Baby"
Arizmendi, at Los Angeles last Tuesday
night. "Hank" fought his usual "buzz-
saw" style of fighting, throughout the
ten frames. The speed king opened a
cut on the Mexican's forehead; this
proved the decisive blow that won the
hereunder. The bout was for the well
terweight championship title, one of the
two titles held by "Hammerin' Hank"
Arizmendi is one of the country's lead
ing welters, having held Lou Ambers
to draw in bout held in Los Angeles
last summer. The Champ is expected
to hook up with Lou Ambers for the
title in a New York ring
next summer. Armstrong is booked to
box in Cincinnati next month; and
from there he will journey to Philadel-
phia, where he will engage in a contest
with Al Nettlow, or Tommy Cross. The
last time "Hank" appeared in a Quaker
City ring, he disposed of the veteran
Benny Bass.

THE LoUTS.LEWIs MELEE

There has certainly been no rejoicing
on the part of the sepia fans, over the
matching of heavyweight Champion
Joe Louis with John Henry Lewis, who
is reputed to be one Of the cleverest of
modern boxers. Their attitude toward
the match seems to speak for itself /;
they are reluctant to rejoice over an
affair, involving two Colored topnotch
fighters and champions of their respec-
tive classes; they regard this match
with suspicion. The approaching melee
IS not getting the wide publicity
championship tussle deserves. The
usual excuse offered for this laxity is,
that the two contestants are Colored;
and that Colored boxers, when matched
to fight in the squared arena, are unable
to draw anything but flies. and this
rings true in most instances. The fact
that one Of these ace warriors will be
Systematically eliminated, seems to
loom as an inescapable consequence.
Why John Henry should attack Cham
pion Joe Louis for his first official
heavyweight bout, is more than we can
fathom. This manipulation followed
an erie silence in the boxing world.
If one is to judge this match, that
comes off on the evening Of January
25th, on the basis of real genuine quail
ications, closely scrutinizing the rec
ords of both battlers, one would be
inclined to lean to the famous Brown
Bomber. The Bomber's camp has high
regard for scholarly Johns boxing
ability but, predicts a surprise up
set. The lad from Arizona is being
drilled for speed, with the aim of out
boxing, and out-maneuvering the Bomb
er over the Is round route. What price
preparedness There might be some
thing in that speed angle. Ask Tommy
Farr and Bob Pastor Of course, box
ing is very peculiar sport from all
angles anything is liable to happen.
Some fans hint that John Henry and
Joe are the best of friends, and Joe
will carry the Arizona lad for fifteen
rounds. That they are the best of
friends outside of the squared circle,
seems to be an established fact; but,
the fragile suggestion that the Bomber
will tap him lightly, and assist him
gently across the appointed line, is
taboo. Expect a real battle. And may
the best man win.

THE ST. MARKS BENEFIT SHOW

A large collection of glittering box
ing talent was presented by Promoter
Eddie Sonny Couzens, at Butler
Hall last Friday night. Promoter
Couzens spared no expense in his
effort to give all sport fans of Roxburv
a real treat, and he certainly turned in
a commendable job The fans enjoyed
40 stirring rounds of boxing, at a
penny a round. The proceeds of this
show were given to The st. Mark
Recreational Fund. The main bout
presented Bobby Martinez, sensational
Cuban featherweight, versus Herbie
Lynch, former bantamweight cham
pion of New York. Both battlers
showed plenty of class, and fought at
furious pace for four rounds. Mar
tinez scored with sweeping left and
right hooks to the head and body.
Lynch jabbed to good advantage with
a fast left jab, and displayed some
shifty foot work The last round rally
had the fans standing and yelling. This
bout was a hummer" The bout be-
tween Popeye, 100 lbs, of Roxbury,
favorite with the fans, and Joey Ed
wards, l28 lbs, of Roxbury, was well
worth the trek to the hall. Edwards
lost no time in swarming the veteran
Popeye with punches in the first stanza.
However, Popeye got going in the
second stanza, and caught Edwards
with right-uppercuts to the chin.
Popeye treated the fans to some Of his
fancy rope tricks, completely bewilder-
ing his opponent This was a return
match. jake Harris, 1875 lbs, of
Revere, saw to it that Billy the Kid,
1876 lbs, of Roxbury, was given busy
evening in their fast and hard fought
contest. Harris proved to be rugged
warrior with good punch. This bout
was spirited throughout the three
rounds. The bout between Jackie Cor
bin, 1875 lbs, of Roxbury, and Theo-
dore (Chickie) Tuggles, 135 lbs, of
Roxbury, was neat exhibition of box
ing, on the part of both battlers. Tug
giles used sharp right cross to good
advantage, and Corbin employed long

AT THE AMATEURS BOUTS

Four thousand enthusiastic boxing
fans watched a large group of amateur
boxers of all classes, battle in the annual
State championship tourney staged by
the boxing committee of the N. E. A.
A. A. u. at Boston Arena, last Monday
night. One of the outstanding bouts of
the evening was between Johnny Hayes,
sensational Colored 175 FOUNDER from
Roxburv. and Albert Bouchard,
(whitel of Kingston. This scrap was
hectic one, from bell to bell. Hayes
resorted to his usual two-fsted style of
slamming, scoring with left and right
hooks to Bouchard's head and BODY.
Bouchard caught the Judges eyes with
his left jab. The decision was close in
+his one. In another bout, Jackie
Heard, of Roxbury, turned in a spark
limo exhibition of boxing against Nick
Sullo, (whitel of East Boston. It was
Heard's bout by a mile; but the
Judges jumped at the opportunity to
rob the Colored warrior of the State
Title. The fans booed the outright
robbery. Sullo, no doubt, was surprised
when they presented him with the Belt.
Two sepia battlers Theodore
(Chickiel Tuggles, of Roxbury and
George Beckles of Cambridge, both
clever boys, met in the 135 lb. final
bout. They mixed it up lively in the
first round, both striving for a knock
out. In the second eanto, Tuggles sue
ceeded in catching Beckles with long
right hand swings to the head, shaking
him up a bit. Beckles received a bad
butt from Tuggles' head, cutting his
lips, and opening a cut over his right
eve. Tuggles was the aggressor in the
third round, opening a small cut over
Beckles' left eve. Tuggles won the deci-
sion, and the State Championship Belt.

Start Your Routine Now
Start taking care of your hands
now. Get a good hand-lotion to keep
them smooth and soft. Scrub them
thoroughly with a nail brush. File
your nails with an emory board
rather than with a steel file. And
if you use eolored polishes, pale
shades are more youthful and ap-
propriate for the school girl than
the brighter shades.
Set aside a special time to brush
your hair and stick to it. If you
keep at it faithfully, it will become
a habit that will stay with you
through the years and reward YOU
with healthy shining hair.
Watch your diet. The growing
girl has tendency to prefer sweets
and starches to the exclusion of all
else. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and
vegetables and drink lots of water
Proper diet can become as much a
habit as anything else.
And get at least eight hours sleep.
Everything seems so new and ex-
citing when you are sixteen that it
is hard to waste time sleeping. But
actually it is time well spent. You
can't burn the candle at both ends
and expect to remain always fresh
and charming. Try to be sensible.
Remember, if you take care of your
self, you will stay young and lovely
much longer.
