man Of Howard, for instance, Is a
big, loose -jointed individual who
looks and acts like he could play
anything, and 1t doesn't take much
imagination to envision him as
hole-opening tackle or even a
ball-carrier. Baugh, who has seen
quite a few football players since
his T. G. U. days, is on record as
saying that Goldman is one of the
most natural-looking athlete he's
ever seen. He's got the weight and
height to play in the National
League, too, standing 6 feet 3 and
tipping the scales at 221.
Sixth Tackle Wanted.
Joe Aguirre, another end candi-
date from ST. Mary's, Is another
big fellow of just about Goldman's
build. Inasmuch as the Redskins
are seeking a sixth tackle, either
one of these normal ends might
fill the bill. Their transfer wouldn't
entirely dispose of the surplus of
ends, for there still would be AL

Sanford will be out of job.

has been yet in yesterdays scrim-
mage but Flaherty expects to learn
lot more tomorrow when the

must be pretty pleased with the
condition of the entire squad. for he
announced this morning that he
would limit his workouts to one
a day, starting Sunday. In previous
years, morning and afternoon drills
were held until the beginning of the

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Aug 10
What may be the start of series
of experiments to capitalize upon
a surplus of talent now concen-
trated on two positions in this Red

today with the conversion Of George
Smith. normally a center, into a
wing back.
Although Smith was engaged with

the top two) Coach Ray Flaherty
realized with what reluctance he
would cut adrift either one OF the
other snappers-back. Both are big.
rugged boys with a years experience
with the Redskins, and undoubtedly
would be first-string centers on
many pro team.
Other Shifts Possible.
If the transfer of Smith proves
successful, Flaherty will have erased
two question marks with one move
restricting his center quota TO tnree
without dropping valuable player,
and finding another type of back
he has been seeking. Smith not
only is big enough for a blocker
and pass receiver, but can kick
about as we'll as any one on the
squad with the exception of Sammy
Baugh and Dick Todd. He was a
back one year with the University
of California, so being behind the
line won't be exactly strange to the
213-pound husky.
The decision to try Smith at a
new spot undoubtedly has given
Flaherty ideas with respect to the
overabundance OF ends which he
finds on hand. At present, seven
rockies are struggling with four
veterans for the six positions open,

Kearns' Promotions
In Rings Here Not
To Be Encouraged
Blunt Episode Still Hos
Boxing Board Upset;
Purse Check Ordered

Although not specifically accusing
Jack Kearns of being in on the AK"
in Bill Poland's kayo of Eddie Blunt
last Wednesday night at Grifith
Stadium, Chairman Claude w. owen
of the District Boxing Commission
said today Jack Dempsey's former
manager will not be encouraged to
return to Washington for future
promotions.
Kearns announced after the high
ly unsavory fight that he hoped to
bring Max Baer here for a match
with his young heavyweight.
Neither Kearns nor Promoter Joe
Turner, who staged the show, were
called on the carpet yesterday when
the ring body met and ordered
Blunt's suspension until January l..
1t is unlikely that either will be
called to testify as the penalty
against Blunt for an unsatisfactory
performance, appears to have closed
the case.

Pat ComiSkey, suspended for 80
days for failing to appear for his
advertised bout with Claudio Villar.
will be given the privilege OF filing
a doctors certificate showing he was
physically unable to 60 through with
the contract. Such a certificate will
lift his suspension automatically, al
though it was rumored for a week
before the show that he would not
appear.
Weekly meetings Of the commits
sion every Monday at noon will be
inaugurated next week in an effort
to tighten enforcement of the code.
Thomas P Morgan, jr., said the
commission will scrutinize every con-
tract closely, will make it mandatory
to file contracts Of every fighter
rule not strictly enforced In the
past-and will discuss matters with
referees, commission inspectors and
promoters.
Purses to Be Held Up.
The commission further decreed
that purses of main-b bout fighters on
future shows would not be paid until
noon of the day following the fight.
The idea was suggested by Turner,
who paid off both Blunt and Poland
after the show and left the commits
sion without other redress than
Blunt's suspension for his poor fight.
A similar situation existed last
spring when Tony Galento baked
the commissions effort to have his
supposedly damaged hand examined
after he quit to Buddy Baer. Hold
ing up purse will guarantee the
appearance of both fighters and
managers at meetings after ques-
tionable performances. l.. +. A.

Even those picking Louis will tell
you that Nova is big enough, that he
Is game enough. that he can punch
hard enough, and that he can take
q punch. But they say that Louis
has all these qualities covered, and
that he can punch even harder
They also figure that Louis isn't
quite as simple target as Nova Is
that he is harder to reach in
vulnerable spot.
These views may be changed as
the training season gets further un-
der way Louis certainly is no part
Of sure thing. if we rate him on the
Louis that fought against Billy
Conn, Buddy Baer and others. If
his training shows that he has come
back to the sharpness of his earlier
fights, then Nova will need a big
improvement on what Lou has
shown so far.
AS a rule, training camps are
cockeyed barometers. Once in a
while they mae give you better
guess, but not often.
1t should be different in regard
to this next heavyweight fight.
Both men need certain amount of
improvement over what they have
shown in the last two years. 1t will
be interesting to see, for one ex-
ample, just how much more sharp
ness Louis has picked up through his
recent vacation. That will be big
part OF the answer.

Moves "Cosmic Punch" Merely
Pronounced Will to Win

He might call it the "cosmic
punch" or something else. 1t is
merely hard schooling in the old
will to win"-the old Bill Roper
slogan, "a team that won't be
beaten can't be beaten" Nova feels
the same way about fghter-pro-
vided, of course, he is equally
equipped in a physical way.
Nova is highly intelligent young
man. He stood well in college and
he has more imagination than a
great many collegians carry about
He was a good athlete-not only on
the physical side-but also on the
mental spread.
He was fine competitor in every
sport he tackled, which means, in
the main, that he had the de-
termination TO keep giving the best
he had and that he was also hard
TO discourage. He will need this
help. Louis never has wasted any
time on such matters as philosophy
or psychology and his imagination
is what technically you might label
limited.
1t so happens that Louis physi-
cally was equipped with what it
takes. He never had to move many
yards into other factors. He was a
better boxer than most Of them-he
was better puncher than all of
them-and he had just as much
competitive spirit and just as much
courage.
Most Of the old timers and a few
Of the new-timers to whom I've
talked figure that Nova has one dis
tinct liability that may prove fatal.
This is that Lou is exactly the type
OF stand-up boxer that Louis likes
to meet. and that Lou has been just
a trifle too easy to tag. Even by
Max Baer," as a few have expressed
1t.
In other words, they figure that
Nova fights too largely to form, to
the normal standards.

Steel Priorities Awaited,
Copper Supply Watched


NEW YORK, May 17.-Steel men
watched Washington today for steps
toward the priority rules they felt
were alternately cheered by larger
were alternately cheered by larger
foreign deliveries and worried by
smaller shipments of domestic
metals.
Expecting priorities. steel circles
said it was possible the Government
might take over also the privilege
of shifting stocks from consumers
with unnecessarily large supplies to
other users who were short.
Many steel producers are booked
for the rest of the year on specific
products. Shipbuilding is taking
most of the plate mill products. Or
binary users can't get delivery before
year end and even those orders are
subject to new defense demands.
Copper men attributed the April
increase in refined stocks of 1888
tons to several factors: Large ship
ments of foreign metal, acquisition
of 10000 tons of formerly French
owned copper and shutdown OF
the. manufacturing subsidiaries of
Phelps-Dodge by strike.
Domestic deliveries of United
States origin metal during April
totalled S0,722 tons against 103.132
tons in March. Deliveries of for
eign copper climbed to 42,858 tons,
a gain of 1857 over the previous
month.
The trade limited that at the
present rate of copper use necessary
working stocks at reflneries were
at such low levels further reduc-
tions would be impracticable.
