sanitation and cleanliness that ap-
proximate army barrack life, but
there the similarity ends with
bump.
I think this policy is right. The
manpower problem is the least Of
our military puzzles. Under the Sc
lective draft principle used in 1917
1918 we can get the very cream Of
our crop of youth with practically
no delay whatever. BY intensive
training they can be taught in a
few days more than the average
CCC boy knows about military serv-
ice.
But the selective service idea
won't work at all if its burdens do
not bear with absolute fairness on
every class of men within the draft
ages.
Proposals now being discussed are
not to require CCC boys to join the
army but to encourage and to per-
NIT them to volunteer. They have
that right anyway in peace, but
if we have to raise a big army for
war we will have to have selective
service. After that starts, volun-
teering must end. You can't have
two classes-the events" and the
"sents" under the selective system.

Conn Is Sure

WASHINGTON.-The question Of
using CCC as an army reserve or
pool of possible recruits in case Of
war is being agitated again. The
project won't get far.
Even though the subject was ap-
preached with the greatest caution
and no such purpose was announced,
the first smell of it aroused a howl
Of protest from one end of the coun-
try to the other.
The complaint was and still is:
why should the very poorest of
our youth be put out first as cannon
fodder?"

with the Joncses during hard times.
Directed by the United States In
dian service and the Soil Conserva-

up thousands of head of horses and
cut their sheep flocks to preserve
what little range remained on the

In the IS years since Kit Carson
marched them to their present res
ervation, the Navajos have grown
from about 10000 to 5000 people.

might suspect. The horse is the

In Boxing
Who was the all-time top of the
little fellows in boxing?
There was Jimmy Wilde, THE
Great Atom" l05-pound fly
weight who for years whipped men
who were Is TO Is pounds heavier.
l saw Wilde near the sunset of his
career when he, Bob Edgren, Jack
Wheeler and I played golf together
before his fatal battle with Pancho
villa, the pounding Filipino, who
nailed him after the bell had runE.
Wilde's frail system was loaded with
disaster for his opponents until villa
caught him on the downward trail.
And I'd like to give you Harry
Greb, who at 160 was whipping Gene
Tunney. and Tom Gibbons, and who
mauled Jack Dempsey all over the
ring in a workout. He almost
wrecked 180-pound Jack Dillon, The
Killer. Greb thought nothing of CIV
ing away 20, 80 and 10 pounds. And
he would still win in a common can
ter. going away. They began to beat
Greb when he was blind in one eye
and hall blind In the other.

- little giants of sport, the smaller
fellows who have unmatched Drawn
and bulk with brains and speed?
In football the first of the ''little

dOns and mammoths on each side
Musso at ESQ, Baby Ray at 245,
and others at 240 or perhaps 23O.
He is needle in footballs haystack.
Yet Dave O'Brien has never had
time taken out in three hard years
at T. C. U. and this last year, his
first as pro with the Eagles.
AS forward passer they have
bounced his head and slender body
off the ground more than 200 times,
but he has always bounded back
with a grin. He has been the rub
Der ball of the gridiron. And, don't
forget, he can split line as well as
throw a pass.
Baseball's Share
Baseball has also known its share
of these magnificent midgets.
What about Johnny Evers, the
Human Splinter" Evers was a
stout 118-pounder in his early Cub
days, but Johnny was a 200-pound
thorn in the side of John McGraw
and his Giants.
And there was Rabbit Maranville
of the Cubs and Braves, another
chunk of guncotton, who was about
the size of a baseball bat.
And there was Dicky Kerr of the
White Sox, one of the few small
pitchers who could make the grade.

was ridiculed by those who knew
him best. Even Patrick Corbett, his
father, thought it was blasphemous
for him to point at the great ring
god.
The world was pop-eyed when Sui
Ivan fell before Corbett's binding
speed. That was natural-no one
knew that for three years, day and
night, Corbett had been a slave to
the thought of unseating the champ.
He concentrated on it SO much that
defeat, to him, was absolutely un-
thinkable.
Points for Louis
In the same way Billy Conn has
been pointing for Heavyweight
Champion Joe Louis. He is OBJ
sessed with the idea that he has Joe
Louis number. He doesn't Sound
of" for the press and call Louis .
bum, pushover and a setup. But
he's quietly confident that he will be
the next heavyweight king Of the
world.
There are a large number of Conn
critics-ring-wise men who feel that
Conn lacks the weight and punch to
be serious contender for the Louis
throne. They feel that he hasn't
got, and never will have-what it
takes to beat the Brown Bomber.
Even more authorities, however,
have confidence in Billy's ability to
beat the champ. They know him to
be rangy, clever, fast boxer, who
loves to fight. He is yearning for
crack at the title and is absolutely
sure that the outcome of the hoped
for bout would see the coronation of
new heavyweight king.
When Louis won the heavyweight
title, wise men of boxing were al
most unanimous in their opinion that
only slugger would topple him
from his position. Now they're
not SO sure Of it. Sluggers have
proved easy game for the champ.
And after watching Louis take far
too much time to dispose Of Bicycle
Bob Pastor, many Of them feel
that speed and not power will de-
feat Louis.
Speed Is Unquestioned
There's no argument about his
speed. He delights in slapping his
opponents around-particularly if
they're big. His speed and accuracy
have accounted for far more victo-
ries than any punch which he pos
sesses.
Conn remembers that Jack Demp-
sey weighed only 1875 pounds when
he fought Jess Willard. Willard
scaled at 260. Many fans thought
it was criminal to send Dempsey
against such giant. II you remem-
Der, Jack the Giant Killer flattened
Willard in three bloody rounds.
Billy isn't unduly cocky. He
knows he must pick mp 10 or II
pounds. But when he has tucked
away enough steaks he figures ON
brewing up . storm Of trouble for
Champion Joe Louis. Conn realizes
that Il isn't the easiest thing % gain
weight. He b small boned an even
now may b at his best pessible
0ghting weight.
