BY BOB MCLEAN.

We didn't believe it either until
the facts were checked. It's true
that there are 258 youngsters on
the football squad at Landon School
for Boys and If that isn't the big
gest grid aggregation in the country
you name one. And it is all the
more remarkable considering the
fact that Landon has total enroll
ment of but 275 students.
What do the other IT boys in the
school do for exercise? "Oh, guess
they play tennis or something" says
Geoffery Van B. Slagle, old-time
professional footballer and Landon
director of athletics.
Landon believes in compulsory
athletics and, the boys believe in
football. The 258 gridders, ranging
from f1eaweights, who hardly weigh
as much as their helmets, to stand
ard-size l50-pounders, compete for
places on nine teams-four in the
lower school, two in the middle and
three in the upper, which includes
the Landon eleven that plays other
preps.
Masters in Sports, Too.
And sports are compulsory for
Landon masters, too. Every teacher,
no matter how his thoughts may
wander to the glories of ancient
Rome. gets out there in the after
moons and explains such things as
the T formation, the single wing and
the unbalanced line. What's more,
the masters have become as en-
thusiastic about it as the youngsters.
The spectator frequently rubs his
eyes and takes a second look when
he sees some of these boys playing
football. The tiniest team in the
lower school, for instance. A lad
who looks as though he just climbed
down out of the highchair, goes
charging down the field carrying a
football almost as big as he is.
Wham! A boy even smaller charges
in for the tackle. Then they get up
and do it all over again.

Joe Due Same Trouble
That Ex-Champ Says
Happened 10 Him
BY SID FEEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Oct. %. Jack
Dempsey figures the same thing
that happened" to him on a GER
tain rainy night in Philadelphia 1e
years ago, will be sitting right in
Joe Louis lap, come next June-and
it's going to make Joe's date with
Billy Conn anything but a tea party
for the bomber.
Now, don't get the idea from this
that Comdr. Jack of the Coast Guard
is tabbing Louis as a sure thing
loser. But he remembers what that
three-year layoff did to him when
he tangled with Gene Tunney the
first time. And, speaking from ex-
perience, he reckons the same thing
is going to happen" to Joe, who
hasn't thrown his high hard one for
money in four years.
Fresh out of Johns Hopkins Hos
pital, where checkup showed that
aside from a leg nerve that's acting
up, there's nothing wrong with him
steak dinner won't cure, Dempsey
stopped of in New York to pick up
his toothbrush and a couple of clean
shirts for his coming cross-country
bond tour.
Leaves Service in December.
At the request of Coast Guard Off
cials, he stayed in the service for
this 4l-day Eighth War Loan trek,
which gets under way Monday in
Norfolk, Va. After that. he'll turn
IN his sailor suit and get back to the
business of being civilian again
some time around December Is after
four years of working for Uncle Sam.
He was to have been out by now,
and actually was on his terminal
leave a month ago in Reno, New.
But phone call from Washington
asked him to hang on for this tour,
and since he's worked every one of
the bond drives so far, Jack figured
he might just as well play out the
string.
THE same thing that happened
to me in that first fight with Tun-
ney," The Mauler explained, "is
likely to happen to Louis against
Conn. I was away from the ring
three years then, and that's too
long. u know, in this business you
don't have to knit one, purl two,
but you've gotta stick to your knit
ting just the same. Those long lay
offs take it out of you.
Jack Learned the Hard Way.
Now, Joe's going to try to come
back after being away four years.
He hasn't had a real fight since he
f1attened Abe Simon in March, 1912.
When you're away so long, it af-
fects your legs and your arms and
your ref1exes.
"Of course, Conn hasn't been
fighting either, so you can't say he's
the same as Tunney was that night.
Gene had seen a lot of action COM
ing up to that fight. But Conns
younger than Joe, and should have
most of his speed left. Yep, figure
Joe's in for very tough time. I
know how it is. I found out-the
hard way"
