to-fight Braddock for the title Schmeling said: have a good look at the Brown Bomber too I'm planning to return to Germany by Christmas but naturally I will miss no opportunity to investigate any offers rumor that the Garden Is willing to put me in the ring with Braddock only if I first eliminate Louis is untrue Joe Jacobs has negotiated for a fight against Louis but lost Interest when I

telegram from Jor-ph Trinor chairman of the Illinois State Athletic Commission: Kranz in our office today and submitted conclusive evidence that he has not left the state of Indiana for the past 90 days Fighter knocked out by Joe Knight was masquerader and we trust your commission will investigate and punish him severely as our Jack Kianz has been done irreparable The man knocked out by Knight

sent on the field It Is a matter which may not mean much to the average sports follower but to Auburn It Is very embarrassing and they are determined to halt this hoodoo In a decisive fashion which will cause the folk to talk for many days The Plainsmen have been classed by many sports writers as the To this writer they are a great I gridiron combination wblch plays in flashes or one week a championship team and the next week a mediocre ball club Among their victories have been Impressive wins over Kentucky Georgia Tech Tulane Georgia and a great triumph over Duke the club which halted

authorities to issue an invitation for this game until after the Miami High-Miami Edison game on December 14 it is recommended that Elmira High be given full consideration In the final selection It is a team undoubtedly with a great record and It also represents a large population center and a people who spend thousands of dollars in Miami annually The city of Elmira is so well represented here that even Elmira street in our northeast section boasts none other than former Elmira residents Such a game against either Miami High or Miami Edison would have a tremendous drawing power as well as greater Northern publicity than any team which is undefeated and deserves the selection It also might be noted that Tampa is making a (Strong bid for New York favor in its winter tourist visitations
