to being athletic director, was foot

director Of the intramurA program
and physical education instructor,
and finding some one to take over
al those jobs In the capable Cas-
sell manner is . big task. DR.. Doug

eral persons suggested by Cassell
as his successor before making any
decision.
staf1 would not say whom he had

Is that Dutch Schulz. one Of the

Lightweight Larner
Highly Rated as
Fistic Prospect
Better Than Gevinson
At Like Stoee, Ayers
Referee Reynolds

Tommy LArner, the slim, blond
battler, who meets George Espina
for the lightweight title In the finals
Of the District A. A. q. Tournament
Friday night at Tuners Arena. Is
. better prospect 1T this stage OF his
career than was Lou Gevinson. In
the opinion Of Referee Charley
Reynolds.
He should know, for Reynolds was
the third man In the ring In many
Of Gevinson's nights and had .
chance to observe him at close
range, while. as director Of the East
ern Branch, Boys Club Of Washing
ton, where Larner Is . member. he's
seen Tommy often enough to get an
accurate line on him. BY some quirk
Of circumstance Gevinson happens
to be Larner's coach, and he's in
clined to share Charley's opinion Of
his pupil.
Moves Like Lightning.
IT like Tommy better" says
Charley. because he's much faster
than Lou was at his peak. The kid
moves like lightning on the double
quick, and he knows how to move.
He's q left-hAnder, like Gevinson. Of
course, but . better puncher. Lou
could hatten anybody he tagged
with his left. but his right was 20
much extra baggage.
well, Tommy hits with both
hands, and, while I could be wrong,
I think he hits harder than Lou. He
can knock 'em out with his right as
well as his left. You can talk about
all these other boys and their pro-
fessional prospects, but I think this
IArner Is easily the brightest young
ster In town. AL he needs . ex-
perience to smooth of the rough
edges and he'll be ready to travel In
fast company"
h Glowing Recommendation.
That Is high recommendation for
the boy, for Gevinson was rated one
Of the towns best ringmen. II not
the No. ! boy to come out OF local
amateur ranks. More than one fan
will tell you that II he had gone
with Peter-the-Fox Reilly when that
astute gentleman wanted to buy his
contract he would have gained na-
tionAl prominence. Reilly always
said he could make Lou either
featherweight or lightweight cham
pion, and the fact that he maneu-
yered Petey Scal1o to the 126-pound
crown proved it was no Idle boast.
But, while the Larner-Espina light,
the Hanbury- -Cilinsh argument and
several other engagements are
crowding the picture, the big box
once magnet stiIl remains the
heavyweight 60 between Joe Nc
IAuahlin and Lou Hayman. Big
boys are rare On amateur cards, and
when they shape up as evenly as

He didn't play the nineteenth

to see how far 1t can travel.
Large Able gave the tipon On
this stunt today as he wound up
training for the 15-round rowdy de

Abe Secs Possible Kayo.
But that isn't worrying the Long

Simon predicted flatly today that
Simon would win.

But Abe Is as confident as .

from whipping the Bomber. al

his voice.
But this time Jimmy Is around
and about telling everyone what q

insisting that he will offer no COM
plants against any referee Friday,
that Louis Is the noblest warrior Of
them all in spite Of any arbiter. and
that when the bell is rung Friday
