BASOUF ‘CATCHER, BUT NEVER UPSET ,Cdkred Heavy Star Says He Will K. 0. Vet Inside & Six Rounds. By e Assoctated Press. * EW YORK. December 13.-A year, almost to a day, after he first achieved national recog- nition as a boxer, dusky Joe Louis will step into the Madison Square Garden tomorrow night to give his now famous punch its hardest test on the cast-iron features of Paulino Uzcudun. It was on December 14, 1934, that Joe beat Lee Ramage and flashed into national prominence as a comer. Since then he has fought as often as his managers would let him and seldom has failed to produce a knockout with his lethal left. He put boxing back onto a “big- time" basis last Summer with his bouts against Primo Carnera and Max Baer, and he is expected to draw some 20,- 000 fans tomorrow. Paulino Is Confident. A LTHOUGH opinion is almost unan- imous that Joe will beat the dura- ‘ble Basque, who is 15 years older and known more as a “catcher” than as a puncher, the capacity crowd is ex pected to lay more than $100.000 on the line to see if he will be the first men to knock Paulino off his feet. Uacudun, at 36, has risked his jaw against 69 rivals, including a lot of famous punchers, and has come through unscathed. He is sure that Touis will not put him on the canvas 2or the first time. Like Max Schmeling, who is slated 6 encounter Louis in June if Joe can get past Paulino, Isidor Gastanaga and Charley Retzlaff, the Basque in- sists Louis it not a superman and can be deteated by & good fighter who can hit him on the right spot. Louis Sees Six-round Win. E 21-year-old Detroit Negro has a record of 21 knockouts in 25 phofessional victorles and expects to; 2dd to that list. He has predicted that he'll stop Paulino inside of six rounds. Few of Louls’ rivals have been of the caliber of those who cracked thélr knuckles on Paulino, but John Rox- borough, one of the Bomber's mana~ | gers, summed up his progress thus: “Every time Joe has fought he has | met and whipped somebody a little | tougher than the man before. He was | better against Max Baer than he was | against Carnera. And hell be better egainst Paulino.” The main bout is slated to get under | way about 10 pm. There will be no broadcast. Press Box (Continued From First Page.) mentioned his opponent. The Basque s interested, all right. But lke Iberians the world over, Paulino has a proud nature. He hates to think of himself as & chopping- k, an experiment, a day's work for the Brown Bomber. Before he came over here from Spain he had no such | notion. He though he had a chance to win. He thought everybody else thought so, too. In the last week or &0 he has begun to sense the attitude | of the people around him, and he re- sents it. So when he hears the promoters and newspaper men and fight people talk- ing about Louis’ next victim, and the wictim after that, Senor Uzcudun is fgdignant. You can’t blame him. And you can’t blame Mr. Lou Brix for trying to keep the news of the Louis-Schmeling match from his fighter and shushing the courier who brought the news. <But the courier didn't mind. When | 18t seen, he was fortifying himself for the return trip with what looked very much to your correspondent like 8_quick beer. (eopynxg“ 1935. by the North American |. ewspaper Alliance, Inc.)

JOE LOUIS. ST. JOHN'S IS LONE PREP FIVE VIGTOR' Hupmbled on Grid, Gets Fine Basket Start—Friends, St. Albans Bow. T. JOHN'S emerged this morning as the early face-saver of the city’s prep school tossers after the season's first day of whole- sale activity which saw two of the Cadet's colleagues bow in defeat. While the Cadets were trimming Mount Rainier, 35-23, St. Albans and Friends were taking a pair of lickings, although the former gave one of the public high fives a fight before losing a thriller. Western was the team to trim the Saints, 27-25, but Friends was com- pletely outclassed in its battle with the George Washington University freshmen, 52 to 17. While it waited until the final day only foot ball victory, St. John's opened its court season impressively on the Vermont Avenue floor. Bill Counciiman, all-prep forward last year, led his mates with five field goals, although his teammate Giebel tossed in four from the floor plus a foul shot to carry off runner-up honors in the scoring line. 3 _F.Pts.

US PLAY SPICY Tricky Ace Leads Improved Team to 50-25 Victory Over Roanoke Five. HIS Hermie Schmarr of Catho- Ue University not only is out to keep his role as the Dis- trict’s leading collegiate scorer, but seems bent upon giving court fans a_one-man sideshow every time he steps upon the floor. It wasn't so much the fact that he scored 13 points to establish C. U. well on the way to a 50-23 victory oves Roanoke College before being retired 9 minutes prior to the end of last night's game at Brookland, as it was how he did it. Schmarr continually was feinting his opponents out of position, using his eyes, shoulders and hips to per. petually befuddle the opposition as to his intents and purposes with the leather. Around-the-back passes, a la | Nick Altrock, uncannily found their way into teammate's waiting hands and the cocky forward's bulletlike heaves usually put the ball in scoring position before the Virginians could determine its destination.

If the regulars continue to improve within the next seven days like they have advanced in the last two, Duke's tossers will be in for a tough time C. U.'s guarding also was a thing of beauty to watch. With a 21-14 lead at balf time, the Cardinals came back after intermission to hold their smaller foes scoreless for 1413 minutes of the second half. By that time the score had mounted to 42+14 and Coach Fod Cotton’s three substitutes allowed | only 11 more alien points while scoring | 8 themselves in the. last 5! minutes of play.

By the Associated Press. » INCINNATI, December 12— Freddie Miller, fresh from vic- . tory over Claude Varner of Los Angeles, packed his bags today, preparing to go to Mexico City, where New Year day he will defend his National Boxing Association world featherweight title against Baby Casa- nova, crack Mexican puncher. Announcement of the match was made by Herman Kats, promoter. Miller will be accompanied by Harry Gordon, manager for Wesley Ramey, lightweight contender, of Grand Rapids, Mich. It will be Miller's first title go since he bested Vernon Cormier in Boston October 22. Previous to that, Miller retained his championship over Mel Carleton, British contender, at Liver- pool, July 27. 'ROM Mexico City, Miller plans an invasion of California, he said Miller termed Casanova & “pretty good boy.” The Mexican has met and defeated Varper, Miller's opponent in last night's non-title bout, and other outstanding contenders of the feather division. Miller won & judge's decision over ‘Varner in handy fashion, although, as in a previous bout here several weeks ago, the OCalifornian crowded him and compelled the champion to use the treadmill frequently. Miller weighed in under the feather limit at 125; Varner, 127. Mat Matches By tho Assoctated Press.

PORTLY gentleman with an sccent caume into our office the other day, bearing & note from Arthur Godfrey, the squire of Godfrey Gulch, Va. The note assured us that this would be Capt. Fernando Chiapparelli, a former officer of the Italian Army, who now was devoting his time to discussing politics, horses and the other gallop- ing arts in a series of radio speeches. Hitherto it has been impossible for a horse to go very far in the radio world unless he tried to defeat Equi- poise or Kellsboro Jack, 50 we were instantly interested in Capt. Chiappar. | . . elli's crusade to get the average or homebred harse in competition with BEddie Cantor, Kate Smith and the Barbasol man. As the first blow in his campaign the captain says he will deliver a talk each week at WISV until further notice. Inasmuch as we have not heard sny of Capt. Chiapparelli's talks we can- not say them yea or nay at this point (although he showed us some press clippings from Boston which said that he spoke quite well of horses or polis ticians, interchangeably).

H STREET NW, WASHINGTON, D. C. & | | SZABU, BROWNING - NO MILD MIXERS Back Body Drop, Airplane Scissor Chief Weapons of - Tonight’s Foes. ACK body drop and airplane B scissor will be the wrestling weapons employed tonight as Jim Browning, Missouri mauler, and Sandor Szabc, Hungarian gou- lasher, mix in the main match of the mat show at Joe Turner’s sport em- porium, and this should mean there will be plenty action while the big boys are inside the ropes. Szabo specializes in the back body drop, a cruel hold and fiip that has made most of his opponents wish they were anywhere than in the wrestling ring with him. He will turn on his specialty full blast tonight, too, for a win would get him several lucrative dates on the Turner Winter program. Jim Has Power, Speed. NOW Browning likes to see the younger Szabo get along in the wrestling racket, but not when the Hungarian happens to be his foe. ‘What's more the one-time king of the mat game who still ranks among the first five wrestlers happens to have local laurels to defend. Jim-mever has suffered defeat here, so he will brandish his airplane scissors freely. The airplane scissors is a crushing hold that requires tremendous leg power and dazzling speed. Browning, again in fine fettle after semi-retire- ment from the mat, has both, but mat maddies are saying he'll need 'em to get the better of Szabo. Chewaki Gets Lee-Way. ALTHOUGH Dean Detton and George Manich are to hook up in a semi-final that should bear watche ing carefully, the show stealing may fall to the lot of Chief Chewaki, re- formed pug. Chewaki, who used to box under the name of Gypsy Daniels, once put away Max Schmeling. This time he’ll go after Dough Wykoff, former Georgia Tech all-America gridman, with permission to be as rough as he pleases, Harry Kent, who once played foot ball at the University of Oregon, and Abe Kashey, Syrian standout, will open the show at 8:30 o'clock.
