 New York, Oct. i7 = (UP) - Tenderly rubbing his newest assort- ment of wrestling bumps and bruises Jumpin' Joe saVoldt consoled him. self today with the knowledge that football for living would be c much tougher business.
 Joe should know. For the guy with the bulky shoulders was the all. American fullback on Knute Rock ne's last Notre Dame team, an honr or he earned in 1929 and 1880 while providing the power for the famed backfield which included Frank Cas rideo, Marchie Schwartz and Marty Brill.
 Yet Joes outlook Is c bit hard to understand. Because In three years aS the Fighting Irish block buster, Savoldl never suffered c serious in. jury. But after almost i4 years of wrestling, he has 6 collection of mended tlbia and fibula, calloused claVicle, knitted knees and watered elbows that would outfit several football teams,
 "still, football is c tougher game in which to compete" Joe explained aS he eased his powerful frame onto bed to the accompaniment of screeching springs. Although I must admit that this wrestling game is no pastime for underprivileged citizens"
 What irks Joe is that most peo. pie consider wrestling on out and out phony.
 "I'll admit lt'S Q show, just ike any other professional promotion" |" nc said. "But 1t hurts to hear the people give with raspberry and then find out the wrestler has sui. fered broken back or Is dead. which has happened in several cases. You take Q chance every time you walk inside those ropes, I'll tell you"
 Joe, who made the flying drop. kick famous, isn't going to hang around until he becomes one Of those onesway ambulance cases.
 "f'u soon Dc 37 and have had more than 1000 matches" he OK. piained, "so next year or the year after that I'm going to hang 'em up for good"
 Financially, Joe won't have to worry. The dark.haired fellow with tho pretty wife and iisyear.old son has Q beautiful home ct Harbert Mich., and Is preparing to 90 into some line of business.
 But whatever he has, SAyoldi earned the hard way. Married while still in school, he played six gaineA with the Chicago Bears before the great Sandow and I'd ((Strangler) Lewis induced him to try wrestling He's been at 1t ever since except for i8 months he served in Italy with Army intelligence. Returning lasl November, Joe went back to wfeSt- ling,
 one of the first things he did thiG Fall was sec his Alma Mater play and c shining light enters his dark eyes when f0 talks of the South Bend school. His greatest t1eInori il beating Georgia Tech, 7-0, in ie2G --battering over from the eight- yard line in four tries. After that comes the game in which Brill, blocking back, scored four touchs downs beating Pennsylvania, 00.20 in l030. Brill was the guy Penrl didn't want on It's freshriafl team three years before. His Idol, oi course, Is tho Rock--"a grand fel' low"
 Peculiarly enough, this buriy foot bail and wrestling star wants hll son to Do c professional baseball player. JOG I'll Is ii and c student at Howe Military Academy, neal fcikhart, In. = land you should seq
 "i'd i ike him to 90 to Notrs Dafnt and play football" dreams Joe. "bu i no professional IOOtDaH or WTosb' ling. rts too rough"
 The guy should know,
