KVS ENDS FOOTBALL
SEASON WITH A WIN
OVER MISSOURI TEAM
_. e
Topeka, Kan., Cold weather
produced the only handicap to the
football fans Thursday afternoon
when they turned to see the Buffa
loes put on their best scoring of
fense of the year to down Young
High school of Independence, Mo.,
before the largest crowd of the
season. Three plays after the
kick-off, the Buffaloes had a touch
down with the hard plunging full
back, W. Jackson clicking off the
play that counted. Again in the
period, S. Robinson returned a punt
to Independence’s 20 yard line
where Austin, speedy Buffalo quar
ter in a tricky spread play, advanc
ed the ball to the 10 yard mark. In
the next play Hackett classy half
carried the ball over for a second j
counter. Both trys for extra points
failed. The second period fan’s
amazement, found a backfield com
posed of little men one of which
was over four foot eleven inches.
These backs though small dealt
the visitors misery in their sweeps
and reverses around ends. Though
not able to score, they ran the
visitors until they could hardly
stand up. From then on the Buffa
loes scored at will, and Coach Rob
bert Weaver substituing freely.
Outstanding players were: Nathan
iat Able, Charles Gardner, Emmett
Fraizer and Odie Thompson who,

Chicago, 111.,—It cost the Brown
Bomber, heavyweight champ over
25,000 last year to satisfy the de
mands of the loyal logons of his
friends and followers not to men
tion the hero worshippers that wish
his photo or an autographed let

and picture money to Joe would
be a lifetime of wel Hiving to lots
of people.
New Y'ork—The fighting Tiger
Jack Fox outpunehed and out
fought AI Gainer of New Haven.
Conn., to garner the refree and
judges decision after 15 rounds of
milting in an elimination bout to
terminate who should meet AI Mele
fY>r the Light-tHeavyweight title
left vacant by the retiring cham
pion of its division, John Henry
Lewis. Before a packed house, of
10,000 people or more who paid a
gross of better than $6,300 to see
tho event: the Tiger left no doubts'
in their minds who the best man
happened to be. AI was contented
to hold for most of the bout and
the rest of the time resorting to
tho old back peddle bicycle system.
This made a dull fight as the Ti
ger tried hard to put forth h;s best
efforts. Fox sank both hands to
tho mid-section repeadiately to
gether with a right cross to the
jaw that kept AI on the lam. The
Tiger at every opportunity gave
AI the work.' hut it was hard mat
ter to catch the wily old veteran.
Fox won 12 rounds. AI had a shade
tho best in the 2nd and 14th. The
6th was even. The Tiger left the
ring with the decision and the
host Al could show for his even
ings toil was a badly puffed face
with swollen and nearly closed
right eye, bleeding profusley from
the mouth and nose. Of course his
$1,396.60 share of the purse will
buy him lots of witch-hazel and'
prnical to soothe his wounds.

FASHION FOR
MEN
RAWHIDE NOW I SKI)
FOR BRACKS:
During the fall and winter sea
son. when suspenders replace to a
major extent the belt as the chief
means of trousers support, l sug
gest that you treat yourself to a
new pa r of suspenders. There is
no question that a pair of suspen
ders with every pair of trousers,
is a great convenience, so great I
can’t imagine why any man puts
up with the nuisance of changing
his suspenders every time he
changes his pants. When you can
get good suspenders that cost as
little as one dollar. This year the
makers of braces, have tied very
strongly with the new fabric trend,
with the results that herringbone
patterns, diagonal weaves, and
tweed effects can bo purchased to
match your suitings.
I have seen a remarka de collec
tion of suspenders, the variety so
great that I can mention only a
few. If you like rawhide leather,
you might like a pair of rawhide
braces to hold your trousers up.
These suspenders come in a half
inch width, with an elastic back &
elastic cord or leather ends. They
sell for a dollar.
• With the social season in full
swing, you will be needing a pair
of white evening suspenders for
your dress trousers. One shop has
these in all elastic woven to look
like birdseye pique. Among other
elastic patterns I noticed in this
store were woven in pin dots and
stripes of different sizes in shirt
colors. |
From the standpoint of comfort
rnd practicability, suspeners have
been redesigned in every phrase to
conform with the contemporary
taste. Straps swing free, backs
aro adjustable, clasps can actually
Lo moved up and down with the
least bit of effort and jttetal clasps
arc available for those whose sus
pender-buttons appear to be in the
wrong place.
LEWIS VICTORY |
NO MIRACLE7
A Lewis victory over the cham
pion w en they clash would be
re greater a shock to the sport
world than t^ie Corbett win over
Sul) van, the Tunny victory over
Dgmpsy, the Braddock decision
over bear and a host of other up-|
nets too numerous to go into space
''ere. So counting out Lewis and I
preparing the ambulance before he j
iret ■; a chance to start against the
; amp does not make good sense.
John Henry h as been around a
>< ng time. A veteran of hundreds
ol’ battles, he is a fast heady ring
man who at this stage of the game
knows better than most I.ouis K.
O. victims how to slide out of a
tough spot, The phwsical injury1
1 angle applied to a well trained j
big man is more on the sentimen
tal than on the acurate side. Sta
tistics show than a sandhog. iron
worker, stell or munitions work-1
er, etc., etc., take more risk in a
differnt way daily than Lewis with
two fast feet, two fast hands and
a nimble brain fill chance in a
fight against the champ. There;
is a good notion prevalent among
the fight smoothies that the shifty
Lewis will give Joe plenty of trou
ble before he gets tagged with thg
crusher.
If we were to agree that John
Henry had better wait until Louis
retires we must actually advisg
the former light heavyweight
champ to give -up hopes of ever
winning the big title.
UNDER-ESTIMATING JOHN
Certainly the 24 year old Joe
looks good for at least as long as
time as the more shopworn John
Henry. To class Lewis with such
tramps as Galento is to seriously
under-estimate a good fighters abi
lities. Lewis, excepting Max Baer
is the standout heavyweight con
tended otday. What can John
Henry get fighting pulukas at the
Hipprodrome ?
Isn’t it good sense for him to
lose to I.ouis in this one fight
and make more money in this one
fight than he could get for a
series with the poor drgadnought
crop of our modem times? It
means more for Lewis to lose in
thrilling fashion to Joe than to
win in tedious manner against
tho the trial horses. Surely Max
Baer came back after a four
round Louis K. O. and it ip. de
bateable whether or not Joe will
catch up with John Henry in
four, or fourteen Tounds.
Generally the exploitation angle
of a Negro fighter being used by
prejudiced white promoters to
knock off a rising Negro boxer is
true. In this case the reference to
thin possible angle of the Louis
Lewis fracas is not sound. The
fact that Lewis is not a rising
t'-reat to whit; heavyweight supre
macy. He has been beaten three
times already by Maxie Rofsen
bloom, once by Braddock, once by
the unknown Emilio Martinez and
once by the too well known Abe
Feldman.

BEATING THE GUN
(By A1 Moses for ANP)
What’s that about—Hello Gangster
New York, Dec 15—Joe Williams
one of the better sport scribes
around the nation’s wheel, in a re
cent column ran this bit of drivel
of emanating from the pen of this
columnist, quote: Where do these
holier than thou sport reformers
gei off with criticizing Henry Arm
strong because after the Garcia
fight ,he yeodled a friendly hello
to that expatriate of gangdom
Oweny Madden. Do you mean to
tell me, Joe they’re not aware th^t
the fight racket has been studded
with gangsters and ehiselers back
to the fleece days of Boss Tween?
Thanks awfully, Joie, for the
space, and since you did’nt delete
it, we in our own space add this
to our remarks. “Henry Arm
strong, (no one else shares in this)
representes the refreshing type
unafraid to wave a “bonnot” at
the person who ferried him across.”
We’ve heard brethren of the press
and not of the press .refer to Hur
ricane Hank as being definitely
cheap when it comes to passing out
the shekels for favors received, but
dam long on true friendship. Mad
den isn’t the only “Racketeer”
wrapped up in this unhealthy busi
ness called prizefighting, hut for
him we’ll sa ysomething we could
not say about the whole lot of 'em
Madden is cleaner and has more
courage in his little toe, than all
of the remaining motley crew.
Wonder when some governor of
this state;- as well as the other
states, will clamp down on these
crooks in the fight game and at
last give the long suffering sucker
(the public) a fairly even break??

G A LENTO GETS RAW DECI
SION
St. Louis. Mo.,—Tony Galento,
the- big beer barrell man of Orange
N. J., received the most unpopular
K. O. victory over a young fighter
ever witnesesd in a local ring; at
the expense of Otis Thomas, ris-,
ing young local heavyweight star.
7 nomas out fought the bigger Tony
at every jump oifly tne rough
house tatics of fouling at every
conceivable opportunity weakened
tho clean fighting Thomas to the
extent that he was forced to con
cede the battle after hitting the
deck in the 9th round of the nights
battle. Tony hit Young Thomas
with everything but the ring posts
and everywhere but under the bot
tom of his gym shoes. He fouled
him repeatedly in the 1st 7th and
8th rounds. The others four rounds
prior to the K. O. Otis had won 2
of them by a wide margin.
So raw was Two Tony Tony’s
action that the local constabular
ies drew a coridon around the ring
during the 7th round. Thomas had
no chance at all with the outlaw
Tw oTon. The refree Walter Hies
ner seemed to be in a trance till
tho 7th round when he threatened
to throw the big Italian out of the
ring. Again in the 8th round Tony
for no appearant reason gave
Otis the works. The democratic
crowd of the city hissed the big
one in no uncertain terms. Thomas
was an ill-advised fighter by his
handlers. He was in no condition
to continue in the 9th round but
they sent him out for the kill any
way. Local sportsmen claimed the
rettod herring was jerked out of
the pickle barrel.
Odds of 2 and one half to 1 was I
offered on Tony to win and even'
money he would stop Thomas be- ■
fore the limit was offered by the j
local betting sharps. They were dis- j
appointed in their efforts for Jor-j
dan Chambers, Jim McHahon, Bill
Roberts and other big sportsmen
did not fall in their trap. It took
a police escort to get the unpopular
Tony tq his dressing room after;
tne fracass. He, Two Ton announc-i
ed in his best Bowery voice that
hi vas ready to take* on Joe Louis.
Lets hope he does; that will be
the best way to rid the ring ofj
such undesirable fighters of this
sort. The Boxing Cornish of Mis
souri surely was taking a nap as
usual when the etiquetted Boxing
polices of the manly art were be
ing abused.

twice gained All-American rating
in the New Yorks poll, and who was

Sidat Singh, unable to get All

is rated one of the best passing
backs in the country. His passing
has been a sensation for two years
and this yoar he appeared to be

Jack Dempsey
New York City N. Y.—The box

Dempsey did the most for boxing in
1938 and wil] be awarded the Ed

it wil lbc safe to bet the liquor
was served before they voted. The
next bet wil Ibe there is a reward'
for the one that put the pill in
tho fluid. It has not been reported
from the inner office what he did.
It looks like we will have to turn
the case over to the FBI. Hype,
tho Ike around the joint tells me
that the Boxing writers were ex
punch drunk pugs. They also must
have been informed that Joe Louis
and Henry Annstrong did not care
to be nominated for the trophy a
warding honor. If such be the ease
tho mystery can be easily solved.
