In Spring Due Louis,
Promoter Asserts
By the Associoted Press

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 28.-Heavy-
weight Champion Joe Louis may
defend his title possibly in April
in Atlantic City, N. j., says Herman
Taylor, Philadelphia fight promoter
Taylor told reporter he had q
definite title commitment with Mike
Jacobs, the New York fstic entire
preneur, before the latter's illness.
"If Mike were well, I could tel
YOU the day." Taylor insisted after
indicating the championship bout
would be held at the shore resort
in April
But since Jacobs is still i'll only
can hope that all plans can bs
carried out. If Jacobs goes Il
Florida, and regains his health,
think everything will be all right"
Taylor said he and Jacobs hat
agreed to stage the title match il
partnership in Atlantic City's hug
convention hall. IL
Probable opponent for the Brown
Bomber" would be the winner O
the Joey Maxim-Jersey Joe Walcot'
10-round bout at Philadelphia's con.
vention hall January 6, Taylor said
Maxim outpointed Walcott in Cam.
den. N. j., last summer.
Jack Kearns. manager OF the
Cleveland bred Maxim, said the title
plans suit me-"
Il know that Maxim can beat
Walcott again." Kearns declared
IF you want us to whip anybody
else, We'll fight Curtis Sheppard and
Elmer Ray, too.
I'VE were offered Louis fight in
Juarez recently, but I turned ii
down. Joe will be fighting all over
Mexico. Another fight in Juarez
wouldn't mean much. Not like II
would in Atlantic City"

1906 with snappy play throughout.
Joe Catlin's long shot that Sneaked
between the feet of Larry Frechette,
Baltimore goalie, gave the Lions
a 10 lead in the first period, but
the score was tied in the second
frame by Buck Stoddard of Balti-
more who bounced in a short screen
shot on rebound. Baltimore took
a two-goal lead early in the final
session, but halfway through Johnny
Carr Harris and Jack Riley tied 1t
with two quickies. That set the
stage for Carr-Harris' winning goal,
an extra fancy pack-hand poke of a
rebound. 1t came, incidentally, while
Baltimore was a man short, Pete
Tallifer sitting it out in the bad
boys box for board checking.
The race between Baltimore's S
Billy Harmon and Washington S
Jimmy Wilson remained unchanged
as neither got a goal or assist last

by one point. The Lions now head

wich to return to play.
Bromwich Withdrew yesterday
after he and Adrian Quist sur
rendered to the United States the
trophy Australia as held since 1886
in losing the decisive doubles match
to the American team of Jack Kra-
mer and Ted Schroeder.
Schroeder had started the rout
the previous day by trimming Brom-
wich at singles and Kramer followed
through with a three-set victory
over Dinny Pals.
The remaining two singles
matches, which will have no bearing
on the final outcome, were scheduled
for today, but the Kooyong Courts
were drenched after an all-night
rain, and a heavy downpour as
play was about to start forced the
postponement.
Captains Shuttle Lineups.
Bromwich's change of mind caused
playing Captains Walter Pate
of the American team and Gerald
Patterson of the Aussies to shuttle
and re-shuffle several times theil
lineups for the remaining singles
When Bromwich withdrew, Pate
substituted Gardnar Mulloy OF
Miami. Fla, for Kramer, who was te
have faced Bromwich in the lineup
Patterson named Quist to fill the
vacant singles spot on his squad.
Then it was announced the singles
lineup would send Schroeder against
Quist and Mulloy against Pals
Later another change was made
when it was found such switch
was not permitted under cup rules
Approaching the time for today's
match, the schedule stood Mule,
VS.. Quist and Schroeder VS.. Pals

In Windup of Davis Cup PIuy

Now, with Bromwich back in the
lineup, Mulloy instead of Schroeder
will meet Pals.
Broomwich, who was struck in
the groin by one of Schroeder S
smashes in yesterdays doubles
changed his mind overnight and was
anxious to play just before the post
ponement was announced.
Kramer didn't feel too happy over
the switch since he had relaxed
after the gruelling play of the previ-
Gus days. He said he was "let down
and didn't believe he could do him
self justice in meeting Bromwich
Monday.
Americans Disappointed.
The postponement was big dis
appointment to members of the
American team, some of whom
planned to play exhibitions near
Melbourne Monday. Schroeder and
Kramer were due to play an exhibi-
ton in Perth, 1900 miles away,
on Wednesday.
Only twice before in the history
of the challenge round have substi-
tutions been made after the opening
singles matches. In 1911, when
Australia defeated the United States
SO, a change was made in the
Australian team for the second sim
giles round, and in 1905, when the
American team lost to Britain SO,
Americas Holcombe Ward who lost
in the opener was replaced by Will
liam Clothier in the final singles
match.
Presentation of the Big Mug
emblematic of world tennis su-
premacy also was postponed until
Monday. The Americans will re-
ceive the cup in formal presenta-
ton ceremony after the completion
of the matches and hope to take 1t
home by plane. 1t will be the first
aerial trip for the trophy since
Dwight Davis presented it to the
court world at the turn OF the

you don't have to be crazy to be

people are always telling me that.
They think you don't have all your
marbles. They say they wouldn't
get out there and have the other
boys shoot at them all night for a
million bucks. Up in Canada they
say that hockey goalies were kicked
on the head while they were babies

well, it isn't as bad as all that"
he went on. "As in any sport, you
play what position you are best
suited for. Take me for instance,
I like to play hockey and have ever
since I was a kid. But I'm too slow
to be a forward or center and not
big and tough enough for defense.
So I'm a goalie because if I'm going
to play at all I'd be better as a
goalie than I'd be at anything else.

"Oh, yes, you stand chance OF
getting hurt by those puckS OF nav
ing somebody hit you with stick or
somebody step on you and cut you
up, but it's the same anywhere in

goalie, you're liable to catch it at
any time. Those boys out in front
there are skating hard and fast all
the time and can catch it just as
well as I can"
Davie was in the Washington nets
last night and as usual played a top
brand of hockey to help the Lions
to a 4-3 triumph over Baltimore.

Face Great Scholastic
Star in Petition Of
Jesuit Eleven
Speeiol Dispatch TO The sior

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 28.-The
sizzling temperature of this Southern
metropolis apparently worried Con-
zaga's football team more than the
reputation Of Jesuit High School as
the rivals awaited the kickoff in
their post-season intersectional
clash.
The thermometer was expected to
hit midsummerish 80 today, plac-
ing Gonzaga under severe handi-
cap. But 80 or 1870, the Washington
eleven was primed for its best game
of the season. The visitors are rank
underdogs in this prelude to next
weeks Sugar Bowl collegiate classic,
but you wouldn't have suspected it
watching them romp through their
final workout.
More than 10000 fans will see the
fourth annual renewal of the Cath
olic Youth Bowl, which gradually is
coming to be recognized as the ma
tionally Catholic schoolboy cham
pionship game. And the same num-
ber of fans believe Jesuit will give
Gonzaga a thorough going over. The
potent New Orleans eleven, unbeaten
in IL games, is rated by some as
three touchdowns better than its
guest.
Petition Bright Star.
Jesuit's chief threat is Johnny
Petition, 15-year-old Junior, who Is
touted as better high school per-
former than was either Doc Blan-
chard or Bill De Correvont. He
chalked up 104 points in leading his
mates to IL straight wins and the
city and State championship and is
a genuine triple threat. He weighs
167 pounds and moves like a water
bug.
Another Jesuit standout is Hugh
Oser, 6-foot 4-inch end, hailed as
the finest college prospect in the
city. He specializes in receiving
passes and also drops back to do the
teams punting. Gonzaga also lis
tened to glowing reports of Quarter
back Munnie Ceballero, Halfback
Charley Villaso and Ful!back Joe
Shirer, but apparently was un-
impressed.
Count on Buckingham.
The Eagles quietly are confident
that one of their good games will
generate enough power to dump
their host. They believe Gil Buck
ingham's ball packing will be as
bright as that of Petitions, Villaso's,
or that of any other back on the
opposite side of the line. They have
confidence in Billy DeChard's quar-
terbacking and passing and think
Don Hogan will give Buckingham
plenty of help running the ball.
And they like a line that absolutely
will have to be ground into the dirt
to yield.
Gonzaga 6 attitude plainly is that
while the train ride was fun. that
isn't all it came for. The Eagles
want to win this one badly and
they're ready for it. The big worry
is, can they stand the heat?
