Expects to Finish Max
In Five or Six Rounds;
Weighs 2l2 Pounds
BY SID FEEDER,
Press Sports Writer,

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Sept. IS lPN.
If Madcap Make Baer obliges with
his usual gags and patter, Patrick
Edward Comiskey, the big kid with
the overhanging Jaw, has 1t all
figured out how he's going to give
the folks two shows for the price Of
one n their fight Thursday night.
Pat explained today as he put the
finishing touches on his heavy work:
First, I'm going to let Max 60 all
through his clowning and his gags
and comedy for couple of rounds.
Then, when he's all done, we'll start
fighting.
Sees 1t Merely as Delay.
This may delay my putting him
to sleep for a while. but the ladies
and gentlemen won't have too long
to wait. They'll enjoy Makes play
boy stuff. Then I'll fiatten him for
their entertainment and we'll all go
home. Roughly, guess I'll knock
him out in five or six rounds"
This kid, who won't be 20 until
next month, talks about knocking
out the former heavyweight cham
pion as though it were as pleasant
as pulling of your shoes after a day
tramping around the Worlds Fair.
Despite the big edge in experience
Make will have, the Paterson Irish
lad has it all planned how he'll have
few more fights over the winter
and then knock Joe Louis ears
down some time next summer
Billy Conn's the only other guy
around who is even tabled as a
possible Louis opponent" Pat point
ed out. land Billy isn't big enough
for it yet. I'm 2l2 pounds now and
growing all the time.
Sure He Can Finish Him.
Il know I can stiffen Max. I'm
young and I can hit. The fight1l
give me good experience and any
other fellows I fight during the
winter will do the same. Then next
summer, bring on Louis. I'll be ready
and waiting"
OF course. it's going to take more
than conversation to dispose Of Baer.
Fresh from his knockout win over
the overstuffed Tony Galento, Make
should have the confidence so vital
to his fighting ways, especially since
he looks on Pat as young punk

Backs Up Two Evenly
Matched Teams With
Third Combination
Nay Be Its Best Outfit
And Still Find Some
Foes Too Powerful
BY GEORGE HUBER.

The impression around Anacostia
High is that this is its year. Opti-
mism can be found all through the
school from Principal John Paul
Collins, who used to coach football
at old Business High School,
through Coach ROLAND Lund and
down TO the last player on the third
team.
The third team is one reason
AnacosVa is so full of pep. Never
before has it had enough players to
make three teams: in fact it had
trouble some years finding enough
good boys for the frst-stringers to
scrimmage. This time. though,
there's a second team which Coach
Lund declares almost is as good as
the first 1t will give him plenty of
requirements, something the 1ndl-
ans really have needed.
In comparison to previous elevens,
the current edition gives something
about which to crow. 1t probably
will be a fine outfit for Anacostia,
but whether it can stack up against
the best in the District is another
question.
Western Seen Big Hurdle.
Coach Lund predicts that if the
boys get by Western they will be in
the playoffs, and that's saying a lot
He thinks he can defeat Eastern,
Tech and Wilson and really is
worried only about Western. Those
are his own predictions He might
take Tech and Wilson, but Eastern
Is another matter. That's going to
be close, with Eastern currently
favored to repeat for the eastern
division crown.
The Indians really do have cause
for optimism. The boys are bigger
than usual and there are more of
them. Six lettermen-only Western
can top that-have returned. They
are George Absher, end; John Penn,
guard; Arthur Knott and Bruce
Halett, tackles, and Roy Selph and
Bill Spencer, backs.
That isn't all. Among the expert
ollSCu AdbS arc GdoAC 11oAliloii' a
190-pound blocking back, and Bobby
Nolte, another back whom Lund is
prepping to take Art Faircloths
place as triple On the
squad from last years reserve are
Gene Crawford, Phil Craig Henry
Mosseau and Frank Burback
Backs and Ends Promising.
The backfeld and ends particu-
larry will be good. Spencer Is
smallish but he's a good open field
runner, and Nolte is giving promise
of doing all the things Lund claims
for him Absher at one end es-
pecially is good defensively. he also
will quarterback the team from his
end position.
Ernie Schaffer the other end also
is a good pass receiver. This is his
senior year and although he was
a candidate for the past two seasons
he didn't play because of a blood
clot on his arm.
That gives Lund the making of
a good team and it is small wonder
that he has gone off the deep end
with his preseason predictions.
We pick them to finish second in
the eastern division, but won't be
too surprised if they come out on
top.
