Lemos Tries for Kayo.
Wilson started throwing left jabs
at the opening bell. He piled up
such a big margin that Lemos knew,
going into the final canto, that he
had to uncork a knockout punch
or lose his crown. Richie tried
and twice sent Jackie back on his
heels with stiff rights but
Jackie weathered the storm.
Lemos took only three rounds,
with one even. In the sixth he mo-
mentarily slowed the Fastener
with a body attack. but the rest OF
the way Wilson never allowed the
little Mexican to land anything re-
sembling a damaging blow.
The boxers Just about summed up
the whole affair in their terse COM

"Lemos is good boy. but he
didn't give me much trouble. Ever
his hard lefts didn't hurt much:

Display Unusual Fortitude.
We don't underestimate the spunk
OF the average football player, but
we've seen guys with lesser aches
and pains sitting on the bench with
an all-too-fearful expression that
perhops their coach will ask them to
play.
But here's a prediction: As long as
McChesney can get close 70 a pass,
he'll make desperate effort TO
catch it, bad hand or no bad hand,
and as long as Millner can walk.
he'll run. regardless Of any physical
torture It involves.
This is not meant to be a sob
piece, but when two guys have
given as much OF themselves to the
Redskins as Millner and McChesney
have given in the six years they
have been with the team, you know
that they'll be ready to play until
they drop.
And don't think the Redskins
can't use both next Sunday. Bob
Seymour undoubtedly has giver
them another fine ball-carrylne
back and Andy Farkas at last looks
ready to give the kind Of perform

Again the redhot Middle Atlantic
golf sector will be without repre-
sentative on the big board" Of the
United States Golf Association in
1942. That section of the East be-
tween Philadelphia and Atlanta,
containing many thousands of
golfers and many cities where golf
Is the leading outdoor game, will
have none of the Executive Com
mittee.
This sector has not been repre-
sented on the big board in many
years, although Robert Stead. jre
former golf chairman at Chevy
Chase, has served on the Sectional
Affairs Committee.
Nominations for officers and Ex
ecutive Committee members, to be
voted upon at the y. S. G.. A. an
nual meeting in January, include
representatives from the Pacific
Northwest and the New York, Bos-
ton, Chicago, Philadelphia and At

Ohio and Minneapolis, but the
Middle Atlantic area has been
passed up.
George w. Blossom. jr., Of Chi

equivalent to election at cut and
dried annual meeting, but this year
five Ohio clubs have independently
nominated Robert A. Stranahan for
the Executive Committee.
Lack of a representative IN this
sector on the major U. S. G. A. COM

the fact that the Middle Atlantic
area has been passed over in as
