LOUIS RANKED BEST ATHLETE Detroit Negro Fighter Ranked Outstanding 1935 Athlete New York. Jan. 3. (U.R) The dynamite-loaded flats of Joe Louis tarried the Detroit negro from fistic oblivion to ranking us the outstanding athlete 0?"V.>35. In one year lamis smashed from obscurity, knocked out two former heavyweight champions and became the “uncrowned" tileholder in the option of 9S of 185 sporting editors who participated in the animal United Dress poll today. Many editors, who never even h aid of Joe Louin when 1935 began, had this to say about the Detroit boy who is an odds-on favorite to become champion in 1936: "Uouis became one of the biggest box office attractions of all time because of ability rather than publicity . . . The sweetest thing 1 ever saw throw leather. . . He's tough us nails, fast as Omaha and knocks the big boys colder than a fight managers' heart. . . . The biggest individual big shot of the year. ... A level-headed man as well as a great fighter. . . Second place, with 59 votes, went to Lawson Little, San Francisco golfer, who won the American and British amateur titles for the second successive year —a feat no other man has performed. Editors voting for the burly Californian, who was awarded the Sullivan trophy the other day for being 1935 s outstanding amateur athlete, backed their nomination by saying Little had proven his championship calibre in one of the toughest of all sports. Louis, they said, whipped a bunch of secondrate fighters and still has to ipeet a formidable opponent. Jesse Owens, Ohio State's “one man track team," received third place wtih 12 votes—all for his amazing feat last summer in breaking three records and tieing another one afternoon. To little Mary Koerger. 11-year-obl Florida driver, w -nt fourth place with six votes. Mary, a wisp of a blonde, amazed the acquatic world last summer by capturing the national oudoor springboard diving titles rom Dorothy I’oynton, an Olympic champion. A surprising finisher was Wilmer Allison, who upset Fred Perry of Englad in the American tennis < hampionships. Allison received only five votes for a feat whielT, at the time it happened, had caused the red necked Texan to be haileu as the 1935 "man of destiny.” o Michigan Noses Out Butler Five Indianapolis, Jan 3.—(U.R) —Scoring two field goals in the closing minutes of play, the University of Michigan wiped out Butler’s onepoint advantage and thrilled 8.500 fans here last night with a 26 to

flK3f>|EZl Decatur's Yellow Jackets will play their most bitter and best lik- ' ed rivals tonight, tangling with the j Bluffton Tigers at Bluffton. From I all indications, a large delegation I of local fans will motor to the Pari lor City for the first clash of ihe ' season between the two friendly enemies. —oOo — The Tigers have been defeated but once this season, losing to the Hartford City Airdales after holding a good lead. On comparative scores, the Tigers are many points better than the Jackets. But. pre-game dope means nothing to Decatur and Bluffton and tonight's game should be a real battle. —OOO — After winning their first four games of the season, the Yellow Jackets have dropped their last two games to North Side and the Berne Bears. However, a good rest i during the holidays may bring the ! Jackets back fighting mad. —oOo — The Jackets will take on another tough foe Saturday night, meeting i the Pennville Bulldogs at the loI cal gym. Pennville won the Hart- | ford City sectional last March and I has another strong team this year. —oOo— While the Pennville game was added to the Decatur schedule after season tickets were printed, school officials emphasized today that season tickets will be honored at this game. The preliminary between the two games will start at 7:15 p. m., with the major clash one hour later. The Decatur Commodores will be after their ninth victory without a defeat tonight when they meet a strong Avilla Team at Avilla.

There was no surprise here at the apparent development, due to the overwhelming numerical superiority and tacticaj mobility of the Ethiopians. The province never had been actually occupied by he Italians, in tin- first offensive early in October, the Italians formed a line from Adigrat wt -t to Aksum. Then early in November they moved south to Makale. As the long, narrow lines were consolidr.'ed, without any resistance «t all, Italian columns branched out southward and westward from the Adigrat-Aksum line and eastward and westward from th ? AdigratMakale line, attempting to ''clea.’i up" the Tembien and other areas. It d-.t indicated here that these columns now are Lack where they started. ROOSEVELT TO (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE, Rep.
