Signs Of Vanishing Era.
Along the parkway, the tourist

split rail fences and picturesque

still grinding. Along with these
remnants of homespun civiliza-

Of water. They have every reason
for their caution. The Yale
Freshman is sensational and that
NAV be an understatement.
Just listen to a brief recitation
of what Marshall did in the
weekend swimming meet spon-
sored by the National AAU at
the Yale University pool in New
Haven.
Marshall competed in the 1900
meters; 220-yards and 440-yards
events. He won all three titles
and smashed four world records
in the process. The modest young
man from under joined a select
assemblage.
Only five men in the 46-year-
old history of the American
championships have won three
crowns in one meet. None broke
world records with the abandon
shown by the Australian,
How did Marshall land at Yale
University? Well. it was just a
matter of one letter arriving
ahead of a second at his home in
suburb of Melbourne.
Marshall wanted to go to col
lege in the United States. He was
torn between the University of
Michigan and Yale.
Marshall wanted to go to Mich
igan because an Australian
Olympic teammate, John Davies,
attends the Ann Harbor institu-
ton. But a letter from Yale ac-
cepting him as a student arrived
ahead of a similar missive from
Michigan. And so it was Yale for

ties was too much for Munroe
He was veritably panic-stricken
with stage fright.
JeffrieS just toyed with Mum
roe for the first round, getting
revenge for the pushing around
the champion had received in
their exhibition battle. The end
came quickly and mercifully in
the second round.
Jeffries shook Munroe with a
barrage of let's and rights and
then poured a haymaker which
sent the challenger to the ring
floor. That was all. 1t was hard
ly necessary to count 10 over
Munroe.
That ended Munroe's ring ca
reer in the upper brackets. But
it was not the worlds last
glimpse of Munroe as a fighter.
When the First World war erupt-
ed, Munroe was among the first
to enlist. He Joined one of the
hardest-fighting regiments in the
Canadian Army, the Princess
Pats. Munroe made many critics
reverse their opinions of his
fighting ability.
His favcrite weapon when GO
ing into action was woodlands
AK. This was hardly according
to Marquis of Queensberry rules.
But to a man fighting desperate
lY for his country this didn't
mean a thing. Munroe received
several decorations. including a
citation by the King of England
and a decoration by the Canadian
Parliament.
Munroe proved that while he
may have been intimidated by
the power of Jeffries' thunder
Gus smashes. the enemies from
Germany held no terrors for him.

Jake himself didn't appear too
confident of his ability to retain
the title. He was coy about plans
for a title defense, and had to be
threatened with the vacating of
his title by the New York Ath-
letic Commission before finally
committing himself to a June de
Tense.
Then Jake started tuning up
for the coming title defense. He
met a rugged westerner, Dick
Wagner in Detroit. Jake was no
ball of, fire against Wagner, but
he was good enough to stop the
rough lad from the state of Wash
ington in nine rounds.
/ Last Tuesday night, Jake had
another tune-up. This one was at
Cleveland against a competent
fighting man, Chuck Hunter.
Jake did a good job on Hunter,
kayoing the Cleveland lad in six
rounds. Hunter is no chump in
the ring, He is a fine boxer and
carries a sharp punch in each
hand.
But La Motta looked very
much like the old Bronx bull as
he hammered Hunter into sub
mission with laundering body
wallops.
Jake started slow and looked
bad for a couple of rounds. Then
| he took command.
! His iron jaw took everything
Hunter could offer, and Jake's
punches We're the massive clouts
he used to unlimber four years
ago when he was known as the
uncrowned king of the middle
weights.
La Motta was heavy. He scaled
! 1863 and three-quarters pounds.
But if he can show the form and
strength at the class limit of 100
pounds that he . displayed in
humping Chuck Hunter, Jake
may be difficult to dislodge from
