It was the second triumph of the season for the Douglasites and put them at the top of the league standings. Doc Hollmann dropped a foul shot to open the scoring shortly | after the opening tip-off, but Gor- | don Mills put the Islanders ahead with a pair of nice shots from under the hoop. Hollmann added another foul to the Firemen's total, then - the Islanders’ lead mounted when Rex Fox dropped a field goal and Claude Erskine successfully converted two foul tries. Dewey Baker worked under the basket to get twq through the ring for the Firemen and put them within two points of the Douglas souad.

Lesnevich’s handlers threw the towel into the ring after one min- ute and twelve seconds of fighting in the second round had elapsed. Steele used half a dozen assorted left hooks and right crosses before the towel floated into the ring. Gus was dropped for the count of nine in the first round and then cut the Douglas lead to 24 to 21, then Douglas got twojmore field markers ‘and the Firemen one just before the third quarter ended. Even Trades The two teams traded basket for basket, under way, then Douglas broke the ice by dropping a field: shot to the Firemeén's foul, to! give the Islanders a 34 to 28 lead.

They had heard of the boy from Seattle and Tacoma but had never seen the champion in action. The impres- sion he created was that he starts something right after the gong sounds for the first round, is a pretty fighter, good hitter, cautious but quick to grasp an aggressive opportunity, knows how to smash, keep it up, get away or cover, in fact displays all qualifications |that go with his title. Steéle entered the ring weighing 159 pounds and his opponent 163 pounds.

Plenty of reports concerning his prowess have been drifting in for the past few years. ‘When Tuffy was the outstanding gridder at George Washington Uni- versity the G. W. publicity depart- ment put on a determined drive to have him named on everybody's ‘a.ll-Americs. team. | They flooded the sports desks 'or the nation with 3-sheet blasts that left the sports writers dizzy. So great was the effort in Lee- mans’ behalf that it caused con- siderable suspicion. The result was that Leemans failed to get the recognition due him. ! There can be no doubt about Tuffy's ability to carry a football for long gains. Not after the way he has been ploughing through the 1bulky lines of the National Football League. He's a real football player —make no mistake about that. Steve Owens, coach of the New | York Giants for whom Tuffy has been carrying so nobly, rates the former G. W. U. star as the best ball carrier he ever has had on the Giants' roster. | Better than Feathers? With the National League's sea- |son at the half-way post, figures show that Tuffy has an excellent ;chance of equaling or bettering the league record of 1,004 yards guined in one season set by Beattie Feath- ers of the Chicago Bears in 1934 Up to mid-season Leemans had gained a total of 502 yards, exactly one-half of the record. Since Lee- mans had played in just slightly over four games his record is all the more impressive. Tuffy's mark already betters the entire-season figure which enabled Doug Russell of the Chicago Cardi- !nals to earn top ground-gaining |honors last year—499 yards in 12 games. The speeding up of the game in the National League has been re- sponsible for the disappearance of the names of many pro veterans from the lineups. Speed and more speed is the cry in the pro ranks. To that end National teams signed cne of the youngest groups of rookies ever to be rounded up. The result is that the move cut two years off the average age of the professional football player. Last year the average pro gridder was 26, but with one freshman }couege entry only 20 and seven others only 21, average for the circuit now is down to slightly ,mor.hgr of Mrs. Michaelson.
