B—6 Schmeling L3 FANS DONT THINK YANK IS IN SHAPE | | All Europe Is Intrigued by Bout Tomorrow—Max in Perfect Fettle. By the Associated Press. AMBURG, March 9.—Since all is not beer and skittles, Max Schmeling is a 5-to-1 favorite to whip young Steve Hamas 1n their 10-round bout tomorrow. The odds reflect German opinion that the former Penn State foot ball star has trained in far too lackadaisi- cal fashion to meet the deadly serious Schmeling on even terms. Steve not only has shocked German boxing critics by taking his glass of beer when he wanted it, he has aston- ished them with his trips to the the- ater and opera house. Whether or not his condition actu- ally has suffered thereby is open to question. Neither he nor his manager, walrus-mustached Charley Harvey, has shown any lack of confidence in the American’s ability to score his second victory over the former world's | champion. Schmeling, supremely confident that ; he eventually will regain the title he lost to Max Baer, has come through # long, hard training campaign in top form. He knows he must win this bout decisively if he is to bounce back into the heavyweight championship | situation. Fight in Poor Arena. HOUGH Hamas punched out a decision over the German in their first meeting in New York, | the vast majority of the 25,000 fans who will see the fight apparently are convinced Schmeling will win. There ‘was a noticeable lack of Hamas money in sight despite the attractive odds. Those odds, incidentally, do not seem to portray the true picture. Hamas, despite his unorthodox man- ner of training, has been impressive in his boxing drills. He has belab- ored an assortment of sparring mates with straight rights and a left hook that has done heavy damage. In the new arena, where the fight will be held, the back-row spectators | will have a tough time trying to see } what's going on. They'll be 250 feet | from the ring and the dirt floor is | absolutely flat.

EXINGTON, Va, March 9.— Hopes smashed, Eastern and Bethesda-Chevy Chase High Schools of Washington headed homeward today while two military preparatory schools and two high schools continued battling in the semi-finals of Washington and Lee's twelfth annual South Atlantic basket ball tournament here. John Marshall High of Richmond, 27-t0-24 conquerer of Eastern; Staun- ton Military Academy, which downed Bethesda-Chevy Chase by a 47-to-33 score; Tech High of Atlanta and Massanutten Military Academy are the survivors. One will be crowned champion late tonight. Marshall meets Massanutten, and Staunton faces Tech High this afternqon, with tl’\ehwlnnen clashing in the final to® night. Far off form, Eastern blew a lead which was gained early in the game and held until the beginning of the fourth period. The champion of the Metropolitan District area was out in front, 15 to 11, at half and quickly |increased the edge to 17-11, but thereafter Marshall outplayed the Eastern quint. When the final period opened, Marshall was trailing only by 21 to 19, and this slim edge quickly was wiped out. Lelanders Put Up Fight.

AKE away the color and natural rivalry from the Maryland- Catholic University boxing meet which will ring down the college sports curtain next Monday at the Ritchie Coliseum and there still would be ample reason why the battle is the outstanding intercollegiate ring affair ever slated for Washing- ton fans. Two great records, as far as per- centage of victory is concerned, will be carried into the match by the Ter- rapins and, Cardinals, who are rated the two best boxing teams ever to be produced by local schools. The undefeated Maryland squad, in its 6 dual meets. to date, has com- piled 29 individual victories as against 14 defeats and’3 draws, for a per- centage of .674. Catholic University, beaten only by Duke, has won 32 in- dividual victories in 8 dual meets, lost 18 and drawn in 4, for a per- centage of .640.

VANSTON, Ill, March 9 (#)— Northwestern's Wildcats, & team of in-and-outers, tonight will attempt to aid the bas- | ket ball causes of Wisconsin, Illinois | and Chicago's Bill Haarlow when they | wind up their Big Ten campaign against the Purdue Boilermakers. If the Wildcats defeat Purdue—and will get more than the usual three the victory would give the Illini and Badgers half shares of the conference title. Victory for Purdue would give the PBoilermakers a third oi the title with its two championship rivals with a record of nine won and three lost. The lift to Haarlow can be supplied if the Northwestern guards hold Bob Kessler, star Purdue forward, to nine or iess points. Kessler needs 10 points to tie and 11 points to beat the Chi- cago ace out of the individual scor- ing championship. Haarlow ended points in 12 games, as against 146 by | Kessler in 11 contests. Indiana and Minnesota will meet | at Minneapoiis in the other closing game of the championship season. Victory for Indiana would give the with Purdue if the should lose tonight—for third or fourth place. Minnesota needed the victory to finish with an even .500 percentage. . Virginia Tech and a loss to Duke, one |of the best teams in the Southern Conference. Maryland, however, has lost two undefeated battlers, Ivan Nedomatsky and Lyman McAboy, through injuries. Without this pair it is doubtful if the Old Liners’ record would have been better than Catholic University's. : Both teams were to taper off their training_ preparation today, with Coach Eddie La Fond of Catholic University certain of his line-up and Coach Jack Harmony apparently as undecided as ever. Since the loss of ' Nedomatsky and McAboy the Mary- land coach has been having his| troubles. There is a possibility that Al Far- rell, heavyweight, will be in shape to box for Maryland. Farrell has been out since the Virginia match, with a bad nose, but the schnozzle has healed and, if he proves in shape, may be Harmony’s selection. Should Farrell fight, this would mean that Johnny Gormley would be moved down to the light-heavyweight class and Capt. Stewart McCaw would drop to the 165-pound class. The rest of the team probably will be composed of Jimmy Young, 115 pounds; Tom Birmingham, 125; Dick Babcock, 135; Walter Webb, 145, and Mike Lom- bardo, 155. Catholic University is expected to line up as follows: Ruben Miro, 115 pounds; Angelo Restaino, 125; Capt. Eddie Thibodeau, 135; Carmen La Salle, 145; Tom Oliver, 155; Pete Dranginis, 165; Francis Fleming, 175, and George Orth, heavyweight. BROUILLARD MATCHED Former Middleweight Champion Will Meet Marino.

The Roland MacKenzie of today. back in the old swinging groove that brought him international fame as a long hitter of parts a full decade ago. appears more like the kid who burned up the Washington courses for four years than he has appeared since 1928, when he began copying the styles of the acknowledged masters of the game and got o far off on the wrong foot that he failed to qualify for the national amateur for three years, Roland Took Bad Advice. E IS back in the old free-swing- ing groove; he has forgotten his attempts to emulate the Armour- Sarazen school of golf and has gone back to his old swing, with results that are astonishing after watching the Roland of a few years back. One of the big hitters of the game since he first began to win tournaments back in 1923, Roland took seriously the admonitions of Bernard Darwin, British golf writer, back in 1926 and began rearranging his swing to meet the British ideal of the clipped and compact golf swing. The results were far from satisfactory, and in the search for better methods Roland went far afield, to the point where he developed a style and swing like that of Tommy Armour. and even went over to the Sarazen methods of hitting the ball Darwin wrote in a Bri golf pub- lication back in 1926 that, much as he admired the length and accuracy Ro- land got in his visit to England in that year with the Walker Cup team, he thought Roland swung back too far and was too loose at the top of the swing to carry on with that style. Young and impressionable, Roland took the advice seriously and began monkeying with the swing that brought him fame and probably would have won for him the National Ama- | teur crown had he continued in his old groove. Results Amaze Him. IS game didn't improve, in fact it went from bad to worse and the flock of kids who come up | to the championship each year began | to slip past him and lick him. He | even failed to qualify, something no | player as good as he is, should miss. But out in California last month, he went back to his old principles, the full, free swing, the big pivot and the old and time-proven fundementals that Fred McLeod gave him nearly 15 years ago. The results have amazed even the young man himself and today he feels optimistic about his game for the first time in years. “If would give advice to any kid golfer,” Roland said today,” it would be to stick to the style and methods with which he has achieved success. Monkeying with a good golf swing is dynamite. I have proven it to myself and I am definitely going back to my old swing. I'm not going to have any more funny ideas about copying the swing and style of Armour or any one else.” TWO TERPS REMAIN "IN SWIMMING MEET | Maurer and Wood Gain Places in | Conference Finals—Three Records Are Broken.
