Arabs Beaten> 80 to O;
Prepare for Locketf
Arab Backs Hurt
As Riverside Goes
On Scoring Spree

Coach Gerry Dennerleln
began nursing his injured
squad of Arab junior college
football players back to life
Monday in order that they be
at least able to move when they
face a tough Camp Lockett Negro
team here Thursday night. They
jaysees were toppled, $50. Saturday
afternoon by Riverside &c.
On the first play of the game
Dennerlein saw his backfield shot
fun of holes as two of his best backs
were hurt. Marvin Walker, left
halfback, and Stacy Morgan. full
back. were laid out but had to con-
tinue playing because no reinforce
mentS could be brought up.
Bill Patterson, reserve half. and
Fred Robertson, reserve fullback, did
not make the trip. Both have signed
up with the Army air corps, as well
as Tom Osa, 200-pound tackle.
In the first quarter the Riverside
squad built up a 19-point lead.
Gathje. Riverside quarterback,
accounted for three touchdowns
himself. Once he went around end
for 10 yards. He made two more
scores on 20 yard runs. Gathje was
the sparkplug of the double wing
back, man in motion system en-
ployed by Riverside.
Two other scores came on pass
interception when Russell Peck, who
usually does the blocking for the
Arabs, was called to throw. Walker
and Morgan were unable to heave
them.
Whether the Arab backs will be
fit THURSDAY night will probably
decide the outcome of the game
against the Camp Lockett soldiers.
The Lockett combination has been
built up from Negro stars from all
over the country and will be hard
to stop.
Dennerlein will pay special at
tention to his backs this week and
instruct them in defensive play.
1t was around the ends and through
the Arab backfield that Riverside
made most of its yardage. Oran
Weeks, 300-pound tackle, was the
outstanding lineman Saturday and
did not allow anyone to come
through his position.

SPARTANS BOW
TO STU. SQUAD

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26-CUP)
"A fling in fast company today
had brought the San Jose State
Spartans their first defeat of the
current football season.
The Spartans bowed before the
University of San Francisco, 20 to
13, before 10000 fans at Kezar
Stadium yesterday, in nard-
fought game which found all the
scoring confined to the first half
San Jose tailed early in the first
quarter on a lateral from fullback
Don Conforti TO Bill Parton, half
back, that was good for four yards.
San Francisco drove right back
with a 73-yard march that was cli-
NAKED by halfback Neill Sheridans
short pass to end Bill Taylor who
took the ball on the Spartan 90
and rambled the remaining way to
the end zone. Vic Ramus converted
TO give the DOnS a 7-6 lead.
Hal Johnston, in for Sheridan,
racked up the second U. S. F. score
on a 15-yard gallop in the second
period and RamuS again converted.
A Spartan tumble on their own 26
set up the Dons' final points, Sheri-
dan passing to Ramus from the
one-foot line with the latter making
spectacular diving catch.
Willie Steele, national junior col
lege broad jump champion, put San
Jose in the game again by grabbing
a pass from fullback Chuck Cooke
and sprinting 81 yards. Bill Pretty
converted.
San Jose threatened several times
in the second half, once marching
down TO the U. S. f. fivc-yard stripe
but losing the ball on tumble.

BY JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-(UP PJ-
Showed under by the football fan
fare over the weekend, was the
fact that Benny Leonard joined the
US. Maritime service as a lieuten-
ant. His immediate JOB will be
welfare director at the Hoffman
Island, NY. station, where ap-
prentice seamen are trained.
Among other duties, the former
lightweight king will supervise box
ing instruction and conditioning, a
post he can fill admirably.
Leonard was one of the SmarteSt
boxers ever TO toss leather. And he
was such an able all-around fight
er that it's still a matter of debate
among the old-timers whether he
or the late Joe Cans was the great
est of lightweight champions.
GREAT CHAMPION
Brilliant "Bennah,' now 46,
wrested the crown from Freddie
Welsh in April, 1917, and retired as
undefeated champion in 1925, which
was a magnificent performance be-
cause during those eight years the
lightweight division boasted a plen-
titude Of top-flight talent. He was
operating in the golden era Of boz
ing that combined good fighters
and big gates, as illustrated by the
1857 1862 and S452,643 attracted by
his two bouts with the excellent
Philadelphia southpaw, Lew Ten
dler.
Despite the heroics attending
Leonard's career up 10 his title re-
tirement. it seems 10 us that his
later attempted comeback was one
of his truly remarkable perform
ances and the one that should
make him most fit for conditioning
other men.
Benny returned TO the ring in
1881, after being inactive for six
years. During that interim, he
tried 10 increase the wealth that
he had hammered out with his
fists. He invested heavily in Jer-
sey City real estate and New York
City mortgages and even operated
the Pittsburgh club of the National
Hockey League. But the depres-
sion gave him a worse licking than
he ever got in the ring. So when
Benny launched his comeback in
81, his friends said he was
broke" ALTHOUGH the ex-champ
insisted that he still had a modest
income.
WEIGHED 189
But what Benny lacked in dol
lars IN 81, lac had IN pounds. The
former king Of the l35-pounders
had blown up TO l89 pounds due

to lack of exercise and fancy feed

or smoked so he had good body
to work on when he began training
for the comeback.
Leonard spent seven months at
Gus Wilson'S old camp, Orange
burg, NY, pairing off poundage
and went through "a bouts against
fair opposition. In one of these
he was held to 10-round draw by
Kayo Casper at Burlington, Vt,
but the ex-champ was not dis
couraged rather, he was delighted
that he could go 10 rounds against

he looked like a kid when Squaring

bald and bit flabby. But Leonard
boxed beautifully and in the first
round landed a straight right on
Jimmy's chin that buckled his

and failed to take advantage of
that opportunity. Then in the sec

on the side of the head
