of a college football coach-but
his product is doing a lot of speak
ing and acting for him.
"Wid's" Ohio State team is un-
beaten and united in six games. is
leading the Western Conference and
there isn't much doubt but that it's
the top all-civilian grid team in
the Nation.
The stocky, 40-year-old Widdoes
who was born in the Philippine

shocked every one before the sea-
son started when he predicted Ohio
State would have a pretty good
team and stood a chance to win
a majority Of its games.
He's Hard, Quiet Worker.
The mere fact that, without fuss
or fanfare, he has produced an
outstanding football team in his
first year as head coach of a COL
lege squad probably helps explain
why "Wid" is one Of the most per-
sonable gents you'll ever meet.
On the practice field he works like
Trojan but his instructions and
words of advice are given in such q
calm manner that. standing on the
sidelines, you rarely can hear him.

In Dynamite P acked
Show al Turner's 5

It's fight night again at Uncle
Joe Turner's w street arena and
the card is packed with dynamite,
with six bouts spreading the leather
throwing over four divisions. At
least three KOS were predicted by
the experts today.
One flattening performance may
be scored by Billy Fox, the red hot
Philadelphia middleweight that Dis
trict fans are anxious to see because
of his record of 20 straight KO
wins. No boxer has ever lasted more
than four rounds in a ring with the
terrific l8-year-old basher. Leroy
Fleming will try 1t tonight. The
distance is six heats.
Top billing goes to the Jimmy
Phillips Pedro Firpo jam because Of
the roaring slugging match they put
on here few. weeks back wher,
Phillips won an eight-round deci-
sion over the compact little Negro
lightweight.
Interesting angle to these two
bouts is that Fox is a middleweight
carbon copy OF Joe Louis, the
champ, in style and facial appear
ance. while Firpo by a slight stretch
Of the imagination might be COM
pared closely with Henry Arm
strong.
Another KO is forecast in the
lightweight encounter involving
Dorsey Lay, a hard-handed Philly
biffer, and Young Tommy Sloan, a
local product, while Bee Bee Wash
ington may be hard pressed in a
middleweight jam with Tiger Lou
Jones in another eight.
A pair of four -rounders, Charley
Bernard VS.. Ernie Pope, heavy
weights, and Gary Rice VS.. Carl
Borakis, welterweights, is slated in
support of the featured bouts.

l$mkhana Rider
By LARRY LAWRENCE.

Gardner HAllman took top ho1ors
In the gymkhana sponsored by the
mounted corps of the AWvS, held
at Meadowbrook Saddle Club yes
terday. AS 1t was the rider and not
the horse that received the usual
tricolor, some $500 spectators saw
the popular owner OF the North End
Stable pinned with the champion
ship ribbon.
Gardner, who can ride anything
from a wild steer to 4 hippopotamus
collected six ribbons, for it was on
the basis of the rider winning the
most ribbons, regardless of color
that the award was made. He took
the handy on Mrs. William Hurst,s

Can Do, wangled a third In the mu-
sical chairs. And just to make II
certain, he rode Greylark to the
show place In the polo bending race
then took the red ribbon in the side
saddle class on Bonnie File.
The high spot of the day was the
side-saddle class for men which
was won by Frim Burroughs on
his Balbo, who scored a clean-cut
victory over Hallman and Lee Coun-
selman, riding his wife's jumper
Kristi. The last named must have
carried weight for age for the sad
die gave way over the first jump
and Lee took a hard flop over the
horses rear. But he stayed in the
running to take third.
Kristi, sired by the famous Black
Caddy, making his first appearance
in local shows in several months,
was ridden by 14-year-old Jane
Blount to the highest score made
by any horse in the show. Kristi
won the follow-the-leader and the
polo bending race, was second in the
knockdown and out and third in
the side saddle for men.
