He has simply, trained for this match as he would for any other where his titic is at, @iake. Only to-day, when asked lie waa going to beat Brennan easily, he said he didn’t know, but was going “Ad try like hell.” fi wouldn't surprise us in the leas: if Dempsey wing in the very firet ound or that Brennan is knocked impide of five. In fact, we are of ine opinion that the championship ae- prations of Brennan will be ended be- jore that period, but it is idle to say that "Big Bill” hasn't a chance, con- sdering his physical makeup.

Copyright, 1970, by The Preae Publishing Co, (The New York Frening World) Walter Camp's All-American team pleases the experts like a red flannel shirt would tickle Annette Kellermann. The old Hawkshaw of football gets a nickel a word for his magazine dope, which makes his All-American troupe worth 56 cents. Some experts disagree and make more noise than a woman's jury explaining why they do. Dan D. Lyons, the famous expert the following opinion of the Nightly Hash, unleashed “Camp had eleven chances to pick the night players and missed every one. His team resembles the one I picked n only one respect. We both named seven men for the line and four r the, backfield. I am willing to compliment Mr. Camp for his ac- avacy in this detail, but otherwise I will not say a word against him except his whole eleven is a terrible mess. I could pick a better All- American myself. Infact, I did.” Lynn C. Doyle, sporting editor of the Morning Nip, writes thus “This year's All-American shows several important things. Last year the Timepiece Duke of New Haven named eight men that no one ever heard of before. ‘This year he names only six unknowns. It proves that he is slipping.

By William Abbott. took Strangler Lewis just hour, forty-one minutes and fifty- six seconds to win the world's heavyweight wrestling title from Joe Stecner last night at the 7ist Regi- went Armory. A series of vicious headlogks, seven in number, finished the giant Nebraska farmer, whose ereaded scissors was supposed to be the most powerful of Wrestling holds, The end came with dramatic | ewiftness. | | | A. the bour and a half mark Siecher, confident and aggressive, ap- parently was winning Lewis made a panther-like leap and threw his adversary with a powerful hvadlock. Stecher, dazed, came to his feet giowly, Lewis, the picture of fury, clamped on another headlock be- fore Stecher could mobolize his senses. Down went the blond Ne- braska champion. Four times Lewis icesed his opponent, only to be caught in a terrific scissors hold that he mana d to break after four minutes tremendous twisting mat. Coming rapidly to his feet, Lewis one}, Stecher would work in position for his crusing scissors, and the former hampion fearful that Lewis would ;Jump for his favorite headlock.

Like a flash both giants dropped to the canvas, Stecher making a quick move to clamp his powerful legs around Lewis's torso, The hold looked dan- gerous, but Lewis with a tremendous squirmed out of the boa-con- embrace, After fifty-three minutes of fast work Stecher applied another menacing scissors, but again Lewis, with a look of intense pain, worked 1 Shortly after Lewis broke a vicious toe hold. Up to the hour mark it was all Stecher. The popular Nebraskan received continu- ous encouragement as he struggled for a finishing hold. Time and again pwis, with a worried look, slipped out of dangerous situations. After some rough and tumble antics both men were on their feet when Joe Humphries announced one hour and a half Soon after this period Stecher made ja dive for Lewis, missed and jarred gave 12,000 fans a demonstration of superhuman strength, Fairly leaping through the air he threw Stecher! neavily with another headlock The champion arose slowly read from the shoe: lock and down e te stumbled t sens of strengt acfense.

There was no scaping this fall. the referee, with face to tne mat, saw echer's shoulders touch the floor and he tapped Le 's head as a sig- nal of victory. And in this way the world’s championship passed tu the Kentuckian, who has been struggling ten years for premier honors George Bothner, himself when his head collided wilh the floor. This was Lewis's opening. Quick a cat he sprang at Joe and down him with a headiock Stecher wiggled out, although visibly mned. ow it was Lewis who was the aggressor. Before the former cham- Pp.on could manoeuvre to the middle of the ring Lewis had him pinnod down with another yiseike head- lock. ‘There was no escaping this hold. It worked four times in quick succession when Steoher suddenly surprised the crowd by clutching Lewis with his famous acissora. With the strength of a‘giant nut cracker Stecher held his masstve op- |ponent in jeopardy for four minutes Stecher, recovering his senses a few | n.nutes later in his dressing room,! Eromptly challenged hie conqueror for \ return match, ready any time. Off in one corner George Bothner, with thirty-seven years of wrestling experience, told the writer Lewis was the strongest cham- pon he had ever seen. Certainiy the title holder is undoubtedly the persevering while Stecher exhibited his prowess throughout the land Lewis stayed out on his California rancn practising hig favorite headlock for the time he would again battle braska Joe for the championship. Lewis became so efficient with his headlock that a wooden dummy couldn't withstand the pressure the terrific embrace. The reward for this diligent preparation came last night when Lew's aqueezed his fore- most rival into submission Wrestling continues to cast its spell. The huge Tist Regiment A mory was jammed when Lewis and Stecher entered the ring.
