Dear Editor
Last week there appeared in

Politics the statement that Mr..
William Perkins. Emmett Cum

conference with Mayor Jeffries
in which the appointment Of Rev.

This statement is untrue in re-

Coles. Mr.. Perkins protested his
appointment, while Messrs. Cum

This can be verified by Mayor JEFF
fries himself. May ] also state
for your information that Messrs,
Coles and Cunningham recon-

We hope that you Viii make this
correction in your next issue.
We are
Very truly yours.

Now when the results of these

Is rougher and tougher than Kim
brough. His name is Andricks,
belleVe, and he riddled the Rice
frosh in their game.
1t would be interesting to check
on the scholastic standings of some
ten or fifteen top teams and see
how many quarterbackS have high
er grades than their fellow players.
l believe you'd find that the
quarterbacks, as a rule, were the
best students.
I am interested in finding cut
who the two gentlemen were who
didn't vote for Tommy Harmon
when polled by Steve Snider of the
OlHICU IItSS WllCIl ilc WdS IidIlulR

They must be powerful particular
gents if they couldn't find a place
for laundering Tommy.
If Minnesota refuses the Rose

gies. And if they should refuse
which is as unlikely as the derby
replacing the ten gallon hat as the
proper headwear in TeXas-Ne-
braska's under-rated but powerful
club will get the call.
This comes direct to me from
a fellow who got it from Califor-

Taylor, a man who knows football,
both as a writer and an official,

the work of linemen in going down

that lapse and the fact that Cal

man, chalked up an average of 26
yards on punt returns Add
that, or multiply it, which ever you

Lew jenkins Fools Critics
With early K. O. Win
BY HARRY FERGUSON

NEW YORK, Nov. %
(UP)-The clock was ready
to strike midnight for tbs
Cinderella Kid, but he threw
one whistling right hand punch and
smashed the works.
Lew jenkins did it last night be-
fore 1000 persons in Madison
Square Garden, retaining his world
lightweight championship with a
technical knockout in the second
round over Pete Lello of Gary, Ind.
That punch did more than win the
fight for jenkins. 1t rammed lot
of words down the throats of the
wise boys who said the Texas killer
diller was washed up after a brief
flight to fame.
Everything seemed stacked against
Jenkins, who was rattling around
the country looking for coffee and
cake money a little over a year
ago, when he climbed through the
ropes last night. HyInie Caplin, his
manager. was absent-the guest OF
the district attorneys office which
got curious about some high-stake
card games in which Hymie alleged
ly had a hand, maybe two hands.
Whatever else HyInie may be, he
is a shrewd man to have in four
corner when the bell rims and
the wise boys said Jenkins would be
lost without him. But that was only
part of jenkins troubles. He was
fighting before hostile audience
which gave him a round booing
when he appeared in the ring. The
stigma of a knockout at the hands
OF Henry Armstrong in non-title
fight was vivid on jenkins record.
And Lello, in the other corner, is
popular, punching crowd pleaser.
So the wise boys figured all those
things would be too much for the
Cinderella Kid, who went from rags
to riches so fast that he still gets
a belt out of buying long, shiny
automobile and driving it like a
streak down the highways.
But the Cinderella Kid shook off
his troubles and gave a brilliant,
smashing performance. In the first
round he went out and measured
his man. In the second round he
cooled him. The efficiency of it
frightened people and brought them
out of their seats, swarming down
toward the ring where jenkins was
giving Lello the lacing of his life.
Lello, dead game guy, never had
a chance once the second round
started. Jenkins drew back his long,
lean right arm and the punch land
ed square on the chin. Lello went
down, bounced bit and gaZed up
at the ceiling with bewildered look
on his mashed face. He said later
in his dressing room that he was
blank after that first punch-that
he fought on only by instinct and
courage.

DES MClNES. Iowa, Nov. 90
(UP)-A few football notes on the
back of an old road map: Oklahoma
University has already conceded it
self the 1941 Big Six championship
and has a sneaking feeling it may
wind up with a share of national
honors.
The Sooners have the biggest
squad physically this wandering
reporter has seen all year and will
lose only four or five men by grad
uation.
One of the freshmen who'll make
a bid, and a strong one, for regu-
lar job on the varsity next year
is Tom Tall Chief, six feet plus Of
pure Usage Indian.
If you're looking for an Allan
erican tackle you could do a lot
worse than settle on Mike Enich
of Iowa.
Out this way they're prouder Of
Enich than they are of all the
corn and hogs in the state.
st. Ambrose college of Davenport,
which likes to be called Little
Notre Dame" is busy making a
football record that will stand for
q good while. If the Bees beat Loras
tomorrow, and, at the same time
keep from being scored on, it will
mark the first time that a new
coach fNotre Danes Moon Mullins
is in his first year at the school
has completed q season at new
school with an undefeated, united,
and unscored on team.
At least that's what Tom O'Hern,
who beats the publicity drums for
st. Ambrose says. The season Is
about over (and by the time you
read this it will be too late t9 make
a bet) so here is how figure a
few of tcdays major games: Cor
nell TO lick Penn despite a great
day for Reagan; Notre Dame-yes,
the same Notre Dame that I said
earlier in the year would go through
the season without a defeat-to
lick Northwestern; Mississippi over
Mississippi State, Yale over Har-
ward, Tennessee over Kentucky,
Auburn over Boston College; Duke
over North Carolina, Oklahoma over
Temple. Princeton over Army, Ohio
State over Michigan, Minnesota
