OWA ATHLETES JUST AVERAGE IOWA CITY, July 7.—A position midway down the list of Big Ten schools was the composite result of University of Iowa 1336-37 ath- letic activities.

Outdoor trackmen and tennis players were sixth; teams in base- ball and wrestling, seventh; golf, tied for seventh; football and bas- ketball, tied for eighth. Sport Slants e PAF Have you a little White Hope in your home? The frantic search for the white man able to lift the heavyweight crown from Joe Louis' kinky head is on in earnest. You may look for a real boom in the heavyweight market. Truck drivers and other huskies will be deserting their jobs after ambitious managers paint glowing pictures and utter honeyed words of the fame and fortune that awaits. There's a pot of goid 1937, and the bill to extend the life! Carolina for some time and renew °utlined in a speech made on the race was run over four hurdles at the end of the rainbow for the lucky fellow. Right now Max Schmeling has the edge over the other candidates by virtue of the 12-round knock- out victory he holds over the Bom-| ber. But Max apparently is going to follow another course for he has been signed to meet Tommy Farr, the British heavyweight champion from the coal mines of South Wales, in what is to be billed as a “world’s championship contest,” it is claim- ed. Bob Pastor may some day be the man to take the title from Louis. Throw Pastor's footrace fidence in that 10-round fracas with Louis. More likely, however, is the chance that some strong youngster will pop up from an unexpected place and punch his way to the spot in the ring opposite Joe Louis. A fellow like Natie Mann, for ex- ample. Mann, the Connecticut farm boy, is a fine prospect. For Tex Rickard the setup fo- day would be perfect. Tex would reach right over to England and grab Tommy Farr and ballyhoo the international angle to the sky. Farr can’t be such a poor fight- er. Toss out his win over Madcap Max Baer if you insist, but his 3- round knockout over Walter Neu- sel, a tough one, stamps him a fine prospect. He has become quite a rage in England where vertical heavyweights are a novelty. ——————— Empire classifieds pay.
