Ecker hill are wasting no time in testing their ability in competition The young class B and C jumpers will perform Sunday and their main objective is to go over that big trajectory before a crowd of fans Real sports lovers should get more of a thrill out of watching these youngsters go 150 to 180 feet with their hearts in their mouths than to watch the seasoned performers go 200 and bver on leaps

expansion program that will seat 7500 fans instead of 5000 One of the big reasons for the success of the Hollywood ring shows is Charley MacDonald match' maker The other is the weekly appearance of the filln celebrities With the movie "stars as a feature any ring in the country probably could operate at a profit In Champion Jimmy Braddock’s recent tour he drewhis biggest cut at Hollywood just

memorandums) spectators before they enter the gymnasium: j "Good taste and good manners are terms not easily' susceptible of definition Certain things however are generally accepted as a manifestation of bad manners and bad taste Expressing disapproval of or antipathy toward the officials or opponents at basketball games by booing is a reflection against the one who boos this in fact is one of the things that a gentleman does not do "If a student at a basketball game boos the officials or players he not only discredits himself but he also discredits his university Some who boo officials are ignorant as to what constitutes social customs A few who are unsportsmanlike in this respect know better than to boo at the games but they have little regard for the sportsman’s code This notice is an appeal to the sportsmen and gentlemen who attend basketball games to use "their influence with the others to the end that our conference basketball games in which the players for the most part compete with a fine regard for the niceties of competition may also play In the presence of others who likewise are sportsmen and gentlemen” mid-weste- rn Mount Hood Meet Richards Finds Helen Stronger Calls Ski Stars fcEW YORK Jan 24 nnie Richards professional tennis player and one time doubles partner of Mrs Helen Wills Moody concurred with the general opinion that she is In unbeatable form after defeating 1 the Wimbledon champion 5 in an Informal practice tilt today Richards and Mrs Moody won the national mixed doubles title in 1924 Today the court queen gave Vinnle a stiff struggle through the first set then requested that he play his hardest in the second to see if she could hold the pace Riphards turned on the steam and won easily keeping her busy chasing baffling cross court shots Afterward Richards said Mrs Moody’s footwork seemed a trifle slower than before her injury two years ago but her stroking was much stronger "She is hitting harder than ever from the ground” Vinnle com' mented “and there is less spin on the ball because she hits it with a flatter racquet In my opinion there is no woman player in the world who is Mrs Moody’s equal and I doubt if even Helen Jacobs could give her much of a match” CD-Vi- 7-- 6-- Yank Skaters Pull Out of Early Meets GAS 70 Octane 117' Savc3c South Tem- pie at 1st West 34 West 4th South (North side of street) By PAUL F ELLIS

remarked that the sport writers could "figure out bis 1936 team for themselves’’ Unproved Pitchers The roster revefdpd that among the pitchers George Blaeholder an acquisition last year from the St

V ' ‘ J V t Writer Thinks Bomber s Aggie Squad Runs Wild Wrong Puts Champ Hoop Shelled in Out in Front Deadly Style By JOHN LARDNEB (Copyright 1936) NEW YORK Jan 24— Don’t hold it against Joe Louis that he goes around ranking the differ ent heavyweights In a somewhat didactic manner People ask Joe a lot of questions and he has to answer them hnd' his answers can’t always be right It’s a matter of percentage For instance he ranks the three leading heavyweight fighters of 1935 (barring himself) like this: 1 Max Baer 2 Primo Camera 3 James J Braddock Now you probably have your own ideas on the subject and the chances are that you don’t agree with Joseph I know you don’t Mr Louis is in a better position than we are to pass judgment on last year's output of beef on the hoof having slaughtered two of the prize hulls himself in person but he still could be wrong And if he is wrong it’s easy to His business is forgive him fighting not thinking He doesn't think from choice When they told Jimmy Brad-doc- k about Joe's blast the champion of- - the world leaned back against a palm tree (Florida variety) scratched his head and uttered a few words of dignified reproof Judgment Immature “Joe Louis is too young to be ranking fighters” said Mr Brad-doc- k "Wait till he fights me That’ll age him and improve his judgment” I agree that a fight with Brad-doc- k will give Joe a sounder of the comparative talents of in ques-tio- n the three leather-pushe- rs Right now he puts the champion in the No 3 spot It’s hard to believe that Braddock won’t make a better fight against Louis than Baer

fighter titan Baer When the man from the grave took the title away from the Livermore Megaphone last June there were many of us who thought it might be an accident— that Baer was in rotten condition or that he loafed on purpose or that he was taken by surprise by Braddock’s gameness and agility But a few months of mature deliberation (which is nice work if yoq can get it) convinced me that Max the Mummer was a much overrated fighter I remember his hopeless showing against Louis and the extremely sloppy and fortuitous nature of his victory over Camera I really think now that Braddock and Camera are both better fighters than Baer I think they have it over him like a parasol in the matters of skill and purpose and courage So I— admitting that nobody asked me— would rank them as follows:

CHAMPS GO Baer Tops TO TOP IN In Rating WEST RACE Braddock Camera Baer Braddock’s the Champ Braddock gets top ranking because he happens to be champion and because he licked Baer which Camera didn't But I have a notion that Primo the tall tower of Italian formage could reverse his loss to Boerifour times out of five and might beat Braddock too That’s one of the things we’ll never know about for sure 1 think I know why Louis rates Braddock so low It’s not for reasons of policy since every knock at Jimmy is a knock at the gate receipts next September But'Joe has always accepted the theory that Baer clowned his way out of the title that he could actually have whipped Braddock Joe got that idea right after the fight and he is very slow to change his mind “This Braddock is a joke cham-ion- ” I heard him say a short ime ago "He was lucky to beat Baer and anybody that has to be lucky to beat Baer has no business fighting" As for Baer himself Mr Louis credits him with just one asset--si solid chin "I never hit anybody harder" says the Bomber I suppose that’s why he ranks Maxie as the best of last year’s heavyweights If so Joseph is missing a point Baer may have been hard to hurt but he was easy to hit Camera—and Paulino too for that matter— made a better show of resistance to the Bomber’s rainbow shells than Baer did And even Charlie Retzlaff made a better show of fighting back Well Mr Louis is entitled to do all the ranking hs wants and if he’s wcefig Jimmy Braddock will have a perfectly good chance to set him right in September And there’s one point on which you just can’t argue with Joe His idea of the top fighter of them all is Joe Louis Who's got a better idea?
