in boxing. He doesn't care whether
I 60 in for fighting or hemstitching
its entirely up to me and I don t
want to make it my career"
Young Houck scales 1873 pounds
but can get down to ITS and be ell
gible for the light-heavyweight class
He feels badly because C. U. has no
baseball team. He likes to catch
and watching him pitch a pigskin
leads to suspicion he's blessed with
a good baseball whip He also plays
basket ball and this al-around abil-
ity earned him the craftsmanship
trophy at Franklin and Marshall
Academy where he prepped for COL
lege.
Leos younger brother-he has
three-Ed, is following in his foot
steps at Franklin and Marshall. Ed
is only II years old but stands 6
feet inches sans socks and tips
the beam at 1873 pounds. He'll be
the family fighter if there is one
because he can handle himself In
tough company and likes the idea.
Leo, who wants a career in aero
nautical engineering. saw Billy Soose
box on his dads 1896 Penn State
team and thinks he's a cinch to be
next middleweight champion of the
world.
When Billy fought it simply was
matter of getting in the ring and
climbing out again-he never lost.
He'll be champ as soon as they match
him with either Overlin or Zale in

Fisher of Redskins Tells How
He Nearly Lost Bowl Game
Redskin Rookie No. G.

Probably the Redskin rookie with
the most dramatic football expert
ence is Bob Fisher, 225-pound son
of Troy, who was acting captain
at the time Southern Cal scored
that last-minute touchdown to beat
Duke, 7-3, in the Rose Bowl on
January l, 1888
So capable lineman that Coach
Howard Jones used him at both
tackles and both guards during the
Trojans' brilliant 1887 season, Fisher
relates that he might have deprived
his team of that victory over Duke
had he been fully aware of the cir
cumstances. 1t seems that just be-
fore Fisher called for the pass which
produced the winning touchdown in
the last 40 seconds of play he had
glanced at the clock.
AS he read it he reckoned there
were six minutes to play, and, as
he recalls today, II figured I had
all the time in the world and would
just keep passing Duke to death"
(The Trojans, it will be recalled
had marched nearly the length of
the field on short paSSeS)
when learned, after the touch
down had been scored, that there
was less than a minute to play you
could have knocked me down with
a feather. Maybe it's good thing
1 didn't know it, for I don't know
what play would have called"

took his B. s. degree In business

But Leo Houck, jr., shares none of
the old gentleman's enthusiasm for
the ring and bluntly admits it. He
likes football but prefers baseball,
which-considering some of the
diamonds farcical fisticufflng, is far
removed from the arena. Currently
young Leo is trying to win a position
in Catholic Universitys starting
backfield and his chances are ex-
cellent.
Leo is rated the handsomest man

rivals the classical Barrymore side
view but Mr.. B. boasts no chassis like
that of the Lancaster, Pa, young
ster. The Houck physique makes the
village smithy seem pale and puny.

Mile Aces Unavailable,
A. A. U. Foregoes Meet

Unable to muster a corporal's
guard for featured mile race and
with only six entries for other events
on hand, the District A. A. u today
decided to postpone indefinitely its
annual track and field champion
ship meet scheduled Saturday at
College Park.
Efforts were made to obtain Gene
Venske, Chuck Fenske and other
topnotch stars for the mile, but
none was able to accept the invi-
tation. Locally. outstanding college
men living in the city have left for
school. Those attending classes
here either haven't returned or are
out for football.
Under the circumstances the COM
mittee deemed it advisable to forego
the games, which means there will
be no outdoor championships until
next spring.
