dOW IHE 1871 RACE LOOkS
After taking into consideration
such factors as graduation losses,
returning lettermen, advantages or
disadvantages in the current
schedule ct cetera, the writer forth
with climbs out unhesitatingly on
the we'll known limb in an August
attempt to predict November
placements. Here's how they look
from here: Southern University,
Texas College, Langston, Bishop,
Prairie View, Wiley and Arkansas.
SOUTHERN: The Jaguars lost
Our important men via graduation
and are due to welcome at least II
seasoned lettermen back into the
fold next week. Of last years
squadmen, % are affected by Sc
lective service. I v. BilleS and
Pelican Hill have GRADUATED, and
Ulysses Jones and Elvini Montgom-
cry have played out their four
year period of eligibility. Backs
like Barnes, Gordon, Scott anu
Hoover, plus hnesmen like Rucker,
Moody, Piper, Marelle, Julius Hib-
bier and others are quite enough
to definitely make Southern the
favored team. Then too, four of
their six conference games are to
be played on home soil. The Louisi-
ana eleven goes abroad for titlts
with Bishop and Arkansas. Last
year, the Mumford tutored juggar-
naut righted itself after dropping
its first conference game to Langs-
ton in Oklahoma and preceded to
win five conference games in a
roW-only one of this five being
played on its home grounds.
TEXAS COLLEGE: With %,
lettermen expected to return and
only three important losses by
graduation, the Texas College
Steers, the only outfit in the con-
ference to beat Langston last year,
is rightfully touted as the team
that must be beaten by the ultl-
mate winner of the conference
title. On paper, the Steers have
everything needed to insure a
fast, powerful and versatile aggre-
cation. A backfield boasting such
as Clarence Nix, Ralph
Allen, Turkey Johnson, Shep-
pard and Ozzie Epps; performing
behind steady forward wall,
studded with such outstanding
players as Brown, Gupton, Boone,
Baker and Harris is better

he was holder of a 3-year con-
tract with Boston College. So
on February 3 last, when he
signed a new 5-year contract
with the Boston institution, it
meant the tearing up of an
agreement which still had year
to run.
Supposition is that Immediate
ly John Curley, the Boston Col
lege graduate manager, heard
that Elmer Layden was about to
sign a contract as commissioner
of professional football he, either
upon his own initiative, or be-
cause of a suggestion by Leahy,
wrote out a new contract to run

sumably, better financial terms.

put on some of the greatest fights
in history. Just because a couple
of boys have worked together in a
gym doesn't mean they can't make
an honest fight and a good fight
later on.
IF this show draws well-and I'm
gonna have a real good supporting
card underneath the main bout just
in case, I'm gonna have a real
show on March IT. No, I can't say
what it is-sure know, but I can't
tell anybody. I'll say this much, it's
a show already scheduled for the
Garden in New York. But every
thing depends on this first show.
It's gotta click.
If we put over this show I'm
gonna bring in better bouts than
Washington ever has seen before
We may not run every week, but
when we do you can feel confident it
will be an attraction as good as any
thing they have in New York.
And one more thing about this
Conn-Hassett fight" said Mr.. AL
Wis, beginning his closing argument
Don't you think Jacobs is smart
enough to realize he's gotta put
something good in here if we're
gonna make it paying spot? Anc
don't you think I realize we've gotta
give 'em a bang up show? This is q
business proposition with me. I've
got to get the public behind me
I've got to give them something fol-
their money and and I'm not crazy
enough to stick something under
their nose thatll smell bad
But if you fellows don't wan

Hey" shouted a shrill. high C
voice belonging to Ray Alvis,
"whattsa idea of panning this Billy
Conn-Danny Hassett fight? Don't
you fellows want high-class boxing
in this town or should we just have
the law repealed and forget about
it?"
Mr.. A. seemed to have suffered
third-degree burns about story we
wrote in which we roasted the afore-
mentioned March battle" a light
brown. Recalling the finish of
Danny boys ill-starred joust with
aging Bill Boyd last July we re-
marked that neither Alvis nor Mike
Jacobs, who is sharing promotorial
duties with him, had exerted himself
in digging up an opponent for Conn.
Name me one heavyweight I can
get good enough to fight Conn" bel
lowed Mr.. A. Il tried to get Buddy
Knox-he's an up-and-coming
youngster, an he wanted $500 He
said he was getting that much for
bout in Cleveland and why should
he come here for charity just to
help a new arena get started?
II asked Jimmy Johnson for Bob
Pastor and he laughed in my face
I can get IS grand for that match
in Chicago he tells me. He looks
at me like I might as we'll ask for
his right arm. Now who else is
there I can get for Conn? You
name one fighter and I'll give you
a grand. I'm telling you there just
aren't any.
'Lemme tell you, I saw Hassett
work with Gus Dorazio and If you
saw 'em and didn't know who they
were you'd say he looked great.
You'd like him better than Dorazio.
He looked like he could give Conn a
real fight. Billy's no great puncher.
He'll probably beat this kid but he
won't knock him out. And If Has
sett gives the fans a run for their
dough, what more can you ask?'
An those stories about Hassett
being Conn's sparring partner, why
that's all wrong. But even If he
was, so what? Wasn't Jim Corbett
a sparring partner for Jim Jeffries
before he knocked him out for the
title? And lookit Lou Ambers and
Tony Canzoneri. They were in the

this being so, what about Boston
reports of Leahy's release" from
his Boston College contract? In
view of that clause his release
was automatic, or should have
been.
Talk that Notre Dame, ever
since the close of the last foot
ball season, had been consider
ing the possibility of dispensing
with Elmer's services is unfor-
tunate from several standpoints.
Leahy's statement that he was
first approached in New Orleans
early last January is regarded as
giving color to such gossip. Ad-
ditional warrant seems to lie in
the fact that Layden never heard
of the professional offer before
the middle of last month.
Layden teams have done very
well. The Irish lost two games

"HotSy" had a cut over his left
eye-a memento of his victory over
Bill Vincent of Western Maryland
last Wednesday. 1t prevented him
from working out Thursday or Fri
day. so he was a cold cockeroo going
in against Jones. But he didn't
look bad until the durable Jones
caught up with him in the third.
George Quigley, faculty represent
ative for boxing, remarked after the
match that "Hotsy' did something
when he used his right as much as
his left-he'S a SouthpaW-and with
the same telling effect. Coach Mike
Lombardo was we'll satisfied with the
youngsters work. Mike has been
through the mill himself and fully
understands "Hotsy's" predicament.
He also appreciates the fact that
he's good college boxer.
Highest praise, perhaps, comes
from Coach Eddie La Fond of Cath
olic u, who fully expected to see his
own pupil, Huck Hughes, whip AL
perstein this year. Hotsy won with
plenty to spare and after the match
La Fond admitted he had under
estimated Alperstein.
But that doesn't keep the fans
from thinking back to Benny, the
shrewd counter -puncher who was
undefeated in dual meets and lost
only to Jack Kneipp Of Duke. in a
conference tournament. They re-
member his footWork. needle-like
jahs and brilliant ring generalship
and when they compare Hotsy with
him there is a difference. Come to
think of it the only thing Hotsy has
in common with his brother is the
spelling of their last name and the
fact that he's been winning all his
bouts, too.

Barons Heavy Choice!
To Repeat Earlier
Win Over Old Foe
Disappointing Blazers,
Potentially Good, Aim
For Upset Thursday

| With a record of IA wins in 10
starts making it big favorite to
retain the Montgomery County bss-
ket ball championship, Bethesda
Chevy Chase will attempt to apply
the clincher Thursday night at
Ritchie Coliseum when it meets
Montgomery Blair in one of this
weeks crucial schoolboy encounters.
Despite that record and a pre-
vious victory over the Blazers, 1921,
the Barons face no easy task against
Blair. The Silver Spring school has
a veteran team that only on rare
occasions this season has ap-
preached it's expected form and
Thursday night will bring forth a
do-or-die effort.
Fail After Good Start.
The Blazers started well with vic
tories over a strong Charlotte Hall
outfit and the alumni, but since
then all they have been able to do
Is to sink Fairfax twice.
All will be forgotten, however, If
they can down Bethesda Thursday
night. Despite its series of defeats,
Blair seldom has been a soft touch
and against traditional rival such
as Bethesda it can reach the basket
ball heights it gave promise of
achieving at the start of this season.
1t has some fair players, among
them Nick Carter, one of the lead
ing individual scorers in the WASH
ington area, and Wimpy Reynolds,
another fairly consistent point
getter.
Something more than just the
the outcome of this game. Another
victory for the Barons would earn
them an invitation to The Star
Metropolitan tournament, which viii,
be held early in March, and at the
same time probably would make
them one Of the seeded teams.
There also is possibility for a
bid to the Duke-Durham tourna-
ment week later and they are
anxious to repeat their journey of
last season on which they made such
a hit against Southern competition.
Bethesda Jolted Recently.
Coach Al Vogt has a very good
outfit at Bethesda with such lads
as Bob Cremins, Bob Keene, AL
Gaist, Duke Hashagen and Faris
Mirage forming one of the most
potent quintS in the Washington
area and one that last year reached
the semifinals of both The Star
tourney and the Duke-Durham
affair.
From January 10 to the first of
February they ran up one of the
longest winning streaks Of the season
when they went seven straight
games undefeated, mark that only
Eastern has been able to top and
that by only one game.
Their confidence was shaken some
what when Landon stepped in to end
that streak early this month and a
short time later Coolidge also
whipped the Barons. Those two re-
cent setbacks have encouraged Blair
for the big task facing it Thursday
night.
