V s'nc5 tboie PONDEROUS Tony Galento, "the beer barrel who walks like a man," had his big day recently and made the most he could of it. Though Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis carried too many guns for Tony, the Orange, N. J., tavern keeper gave everything he had, earning the respect of all who witnessed the fignt. Gone was the buffoonery and clowning which characterized him during training camp days and in its place was a grim ferocity and singleness of purpose. He wanted a knockout and wanted it in a hurry. His ambition wasn't realized, but Tony can go back to his tap room and tell his customers, for years to come, of the time he had the devastating Brown Bomber on the canvas, looking up at him. Not many men who have fought Louis can tell that interesting a story. The dusky heavyweight champ likes to earn his wages in a hurry.

JOE LOUIS World Champion Though his record is a familiar one, a recapitulation may salve the injured feelings of Galento's supporters. Louis has been boxing since 1934. In four and years he has engaged in 43 fights, winning 42 and of those fights losing one. Thirty-sihave been won by knockouts and six by decisions. His one defeat was suffered at the hands of Max Schmeling, w;ho, in one of ringdom's most surprising upsets, knocked Louis out in the twelfth round. This surprising record is further knockenhanced by nine outs. His victims included Jack Kracken, Stanley Poreda, Sponges grow at almost any Biff Bennett, King Levinsky, Charlie Max depth of water.

Lou's playing career is behind him for all time. The most durable ball player who ever lived is suffering from chronic infantile paralysis, a foe before which even the Iron Man's spirit was forced to bend. It is typical of Gehrig that he refuses to be a part of the wave of sympathy which is engulfing fans all over the nation. He wants no sympathy. Rather, he wants a chance to make use of the courage and determination which carried him through 2,130 consecutive games in 15 seasons. In brief, he would like to stay in the game, and would be perfectly happy if he could remain with the Yankees in some capacity or other. He helped make the Yankees the world's greatest ball club, and would naturally like to remain with that organization. Of grave importance to him was the Mayo clinic report, which ended: "He could, however, continue in some executive capacity." He cannot take part in batting practice, or chase balls in the outfield. He must conserve his muscular energy and is limited to the ordinary types of exercise. At present he is serving as field captain of the Yankees, where his duties are of an extremely light nature. He merely puts on his uniform daily and presents the Yank batting order to the umpire just before the game starts. What the Yankees will figure out for him to do next year is an unanswered question. It has been suggested that he be named manager of a Yank farm club. However, it would be almost impossible to appoint a sick man to And that position. likely he wouldn't want the job. The extent of his recovery will quite possibly determine the Yankee's future courses of action. Lou looks as healthy as ever, outwardly showing no signs of the disease. His spirits are high, and his But grin as handsome as ever. once in a while he sits down beside Manager Joe McCarthy. They don't say much maybe because words don't always convey the fullest meaning.

Rule Changes very important changes made in the rules of football, according to Stephen Epler, originator of the game, who has worked tirelessly to encourage its development and improve its rules. The three alterations were devised with a view toward increasing safety of the sport. One of the regulations calls for a termination of games. If, at the end of the first half, there is a margin of 45 points between two squads, the game will be stopped much the same as a technical knockout is recorded in boxing. Should a margin of 45 points develop any time in the second half the contest also will be halted. A second change is concerned with football equipment. The new rule calls for padding on the outside of any hard material which may be used for protective covering. Present equipment isiiesigned for the Now pads benefit of the wearer. must also protect the opponent. The remaining change is optional. Schools where youngsters are engaged in the game will be permitted to use a smaller ball. football has been steadily growing in popularity. It is especially popular in smaller high schools throughout the nation, and has been adopted widely as a college intramural sport.
