MAX SCHMELING" IS OUTPOINTED Philadelphia. Feb. 14. (U.R) • Something's the matter with the young man we know as Max Schmeling. Two years ago he wks heavyweight champion of the world, and the boys who know about such thingb said he was another Jack Dempsey He looked it, too. Not only in face and figure, hut his fists, both right and left, packed dynamite. He could take it, he could give it. He knew the answers to most of the questions, and in his heart burned a fire that would not be quenched. You should have seen him last night against Steve Hamas in Philadelphia's great convention hall. You should have seen him in the ninth round. To those of us who knew him as the proud champI ion of the world, it was hard to believe .he blood-smeared fellow out there in the middle of the ring was Schmeling. He didn't have a thing except courage. His jabij were those of a child; his once fearsome right bounced off Hamas’ jaw like mine and yours would. Gone was the bobbing and weaving that made him an elusive target. He just stood there, little more than a punching bag. If there had been a fighter like Max Baer in front of him you might not have wondered so. But his tormentor was Steve Hamas, a boy not long out of college a novice—and a novice with a leg so game he hadn't been inside of a ring for months. Yet Steve swarmed all over Schmeling. hitting him with all the shots in the catalogue, making him resemble nothing so much as a prize-winning exhibit from the abattoir. Hamas won eight of the twelve round? so decisively that Schmel- , ing wasn't even a factor. Max. , who used to go in there and swap punciies, stood flat-footed and erect while the onetime Penn State football player belabored him fore and ■ aft. Schmeling proved his courage in I the eleventh and twelfth rounds when, half dazed and with a wicked gash over his left eye cascading blood over his face and chest, he summoned strength and force enough to wade in and carry the battle to his fresher and younger opponent; had he seen fit to fight like that in the earlier rounds the fight would have been his. - o High School Scores Greencastle 26.

Not bad, so we pass it on; Just An Idea, Mebbe It may not be worth much, but it seems that there should be opening for some bright young inventor to give us some sort of a storm cellar that would be easily accessable to sports writers and basketball referees. Now the idea might not be practical —not saying that it is—but golly what a comfort they would be on certain occasions. Perhaps some of the lads and assies think sports writing is the berries, but remember you could be wrong even though 5,000,000 Frenchmen couldn't. Here s what's wrong with sports writing: If you boost the home team, cu re prejudiced. If you speak kindly of opponits. you're a traitor to the cause. If you defend an official for his action in refereeing a ball game, you’re just as crooked as he is. If you pick a team to win and •hey fail, you can expect nothing more than a good razzing from | all quarters. If you tell the truth, you might just as well app’y for a job with Admiral Byrd for the old home community will soon get too hot 'or you. If you must work in the sports department, take a little advise -nd get a job editing copy or writing headlines. It's far safer. Your mistakes there don't usually 'ird such wide criticism.

It was contended in that suit that the lieutenaut governor could not be given the full time office of secretary of the agriculture board. —o : House Adopts “Gag" Rule On Tax Measure Washington, Feb. 14?-(UP) —The house adopted a “gag” rule today on tiie $258,000,000 tax revision bill and immediately went into general debate on the controversial measure.
