SchmeIing Uses Trick

In Kayoing Heuser
10000 in Germany Cheer
H-Seeond Conquest Of
European Champion
By the Associated Press.

STUTTGART, Germany, July s.
Max Schmeling. after showing his
countrymen trick he picked up
from Joe Louis, hit the comeback
trail for sure today and waited to
hear whether his 47-second conquest
OF the European heavyweight cham
pion had kicked up any stir IN
America. :
The former world champion yes-
terday snatched one Of two Eu-
ropean crowns sported by Adolf
Heuser, another German, in less
time than it took Louis to freeze
Schmeling's hopes in New York
year ago. He used the same system

ing the first visible opening In his

A right to the temple which
travelled only few inches but car
rled all the power of Schmeling's
younger days finished Heuser. Some
10000 spectators in Adolf Hitler
Arena gasped and then went wild
about Make.
Hundreds stood outside his hotel
for hours after the fight calling for
him to appear. That was sweet
music for Schmeling, who came
home a year ago after humiliating
defeat by Louis which took only
about minute longer than yester-
days fight. but was just as decisive.
Schmeling didn't wave his new
crown at Louis In fact he wouldn't
talk about him in his dressing room
after the fight.
Asked if he expected to extend
his comeback journey to America,
Max said:
II want to have few more fights
frst-either here or over there"
Walter Neusel Challenger.
One of these is likely to be with
Walter Neusel, German challenger
for the European heavyweight crown.
Right now, Max expects to spend a
few days in Berlin and then go to
his estate in Pomerania.
Schmeling and his old friend and
trainer, Max Machon, we're waiting
almost wistfully for the reaction in
America, where the former world
champion won his greatest triumphs
and suffered his worst defeats.
IF l got a good offer, I would
take it, of course" said Max, grim
ming happily.
Heuser, who weighed 1874 to
Schmeling's 1893. retains his Eu-
ropean light-heavyweight crown.

power just twice today, to score a

throng of 10000 at Fitton Field.
1t was, perhaps, q costly victory
for the rampaging Crusaders, for

capable shock-troop wingman, was
carried from the field with a COM
pound fracture of the left leg and
Silas Titus. the pulverizing Purple
center, went off the gridiron with
torn knee ligaments.
Temple outplayed Holy Gross in
the first period. However, In the
second stanza the boys from Mount
st. James put on their finest display
of the day as they dynamited their
way for 48 yards to pay dirt in 2
minutes, using only six plays.
The Owls stiffened again and held
out until the fourth when Oppor-
tunist Paul Darlington, in at center
for the injured Titus. shared a
Temple pass on his own 46 and
raced it back to the Temple So.
Cahill passed to Histen on the 20
and three Temple backs handed the
Crusaders their second score when
they interfered with Joe Osmanski
on an end-zone PASS.
Given the ball on the 1-yard line,
1t was a routine matter for
Malinowski to batter his way across
and once again Jim Turner booted
the extra point.
