Unquestionably the brand of pro- ;{emnml football as played the past | match will face Danny Kramer of | | season was of a much improved | quality, The players were better | conditioned and well coached. ‘! Tt must be vemembered that the professional football teams are made up almost entirely of former college stars. Thus professional material in foothall almost of necessity must be recruited from the college ranks, | The professional teams as a result are merely college players with a greater football experience, If these players are properly con- ditioned and well coached, there is no reason why the standard of play in the “pro” circles should not bhe on much the same plane as the colleges. A college star out of condition is a sad sight A few weeks ago I saw a former All-American tackle who had put on about 30 pounds after leaving college make a sorry sliowing in a professional game, The professional promoters now see the folly of trying to dig up college stars of great reputation without giving a thought as to con- dition. Getting players only one year out of college has done much to better the phy condition of the profes- slonal elevens. Incidentally an at- tempt is ma to sign players who have a pride in retaining their con- dition Thus on the whole the profession- Al and eollege material is very much the same While the $pirit of the pro teams is exeelient, it falla below the col- |lege standards. 1t is impossible to put the same fight into a game that {s being played for mere money instead of he traditions of a college. Undoubtedly the condition of a college team as a whole is better than that of a professional eleveq, i to more regular practice, a8 training table dlet and the care re- ceived from trainers and handlers, cently in a game at Philadel- rhia, former stars in a game playad to Keep the Penn team in condition for its coast trip, defeated the var- ity team by two touchdowns. — SATURDAY LEAGUE GAMES HAPLANOMBARDO *IN FIGHT TONIGHT Meriden Flash Appears in Semi- Final Title Bout New York, Dec. 12.—Jose Lom- |bardo of Panama and Louls (Kid) Kaplan of Meriden, Conn., will meet tonight at Madison Square Garden in the semi-firal round of the state |athletic commission’s tournament to determine a successor to the feath- | erweight boxing.title surrendercd by [Johuny Dundee.

Lombardo and Kaplan came into the seml-finals by eliminating Lou | Paluso of Salt Lake City and Bobby :Garrla. of Camp Holabird, Md,, re- | spectively, less than a month ago Kaplan won by a viclous attack in the final round, Garcia having held [the Connectlcut flash on even terms up to that time. Lombardo was never in danger in his clash with | Paluso, who was punished severely about the body, Kramer was awarded the declsior over Mike Dundee of Rock Island, 111, in the preliminaries, and drew | a bye for the second round, giving him slx weeks to train for the final (Mt. His victory over Dundee was generally approved by sporting writ- lers, but led Dick Curley, Dundee's { manager, to kick ‘himself out of box- |ing so far as New York is concernen. Curley's right tee connected with Referee Patsy Haley's face during the furore which followed the ver- diet, the erowd meanwhile standing and combining “"boos” with applause.
