BRADDOCK CONFIDENT AS EVER " » ”

TIMING KEPT TUNED, HE SAYS

ROM all indications Max Schmeling is going to be the betting favorite when he steps between the ropes on the night of June 3 to face Champion James J. Braddock, but the Jersey Irishman is sure to have a host of supporters. . . . Jim is noted for courage and fighting heart, the same as the German, and is a cagey boxer. . .. He realizes the bulk of the fistic fans are counting him out and is not objecting to their attitude. . . . He prefers the underdog role. . . . Answering critics who declare he has been inactive too long, the champion had the following to say recently: “I haven't fought in two years, but 1 am not like Jack Dempsey with Gene Tnunney. Jack sat down for three years. | have been boxing nearly every day and doing road work. I even box with a referee in there, and that's the way you fight in the ring. My timing has been kept tuned in that fashion.” ” » ” » ” . RADDOCK is a noted comeback battler. He hadn't donned a glove in 10 months when he accepted a substitute assignment on the Max Baer-Primo Carnera card and knocked out Corn Griffin. . .. Jim only had two fights in nearly two years when he defeated Art Lasky, and it was the first 15-round bout for the New Jerseyite in seven years. . . . Braddock keeps his left shoulder high, either boxing or throwing punches, and believes this style will offset Schmeling's crushing right hand, the German chal-

When I did locate it by | the use of a very high-powered magnifying glass 1 found it difficult to enthuse.

Has High Average

True. he has batted 1.000 so far, but this figure is not so impressive when you learn it is a result of one | fight and one fight only. I could not find the name of Torrance's opponent, but I have no doubt that Jack's amazing string of one consecutive victory was scored over some animated sofa of fierce hatrack Torrance, as vou doubtless know, is the 300-pound article who holds the dubious distinction of having thrown a 16-pound shot farther than any man in history. He was a member of the American | Olympic team at Berlin last summer and outside of Mrs. Eleanor Holm | Jarret, probably caused more per capita headaches than any member of the athletic army.

Jack Wouldn't Get Up

Torrance’s method of bringing on | migraine to his handlers was the exact opposite of that used by Mrs. Jarrett. Mrs. Jarrett wouldn't go te bed. Torrance wouldn't get up. The S. 8. Manhattan had no more than passed the Statue of Liberty than Torrance donned a flannel nightgown, heaved himself into his bunk after the manner of a whale being cast up on a beach, and started sleeping. There was only one sound which would rouse him, and this was not the blast of the lifeboat drill whistle, or the roar of the foghorn,

and, using two lightweight boxers

| as Indian clubs, flexed his blubber

for 10 minutes. It was not, however, until the Olympic village was reached that Jack really became lazy. There under the lovely elms and beside the rippling brooks, he went into a hibernation that would have shamed a grizzly bear. As a result, he was a miserable disappointment in the Olympic games, failing to throw his beloved shot within several feet of his porid's mark.

(Neb.) Teachers. Badgers Work Out

The Badgers yesterday went a hard workout on the local court, endeavoring to smooth an attack which broke down at Pittsburgh Monday. The defeat at the handS of the Panthers mars a record of victories over Marquette, Ball State and North Dakota. Tonight Hinkle probably will start Gerkensmeyer and Overman as forwards, Merrill at center and Fawcett and Jaggers at the guards. | If this combination doesn’t click to | Hinkle's satisfaction, Perry and | Geyer may see action. | The quintet that works best tonight probably will start against In- | diana University New Year's night. According to dope the game to- | night should, be a close one. Last | week the Pittsburgh Panthers defeater Butler, 32 to 21, and Monday | the Pitt team won over Wisconsin | bY the same margin, 41 to 30. | Coach Harold E. (Bud) Foster has a smooth working unit, which has | the advantage of never working un[der any other college coach. Fos- | ter was their freshman mentor before he took control of the varsity.

Indiana Boy to Play

Coach Foster is to have an Indiana boy at forward in his starting lineup. He is Hod Powell of Valparaiso. At the other forward post will be George Rooney. At center for the Badgers will be Gordon Fuller, the only senior on the squad. At the guard position will be Lee Mitchell and Mannie Frey. The Wisconsin team uses a fast | breaking offense, to which Foster | changed when he found that his | men had enough speed to make it work satisfactorily.
