The flying Dutchmen of Cleveland High School soared toward touchdown dash to go with his excellent defensive game as University City High celebrated its homecoming before an estimated 2S0O fans yesterday by defeating Maplewood, 31-0. Chuck Walker paced the offense with two touchdowns, one on a 60-yard punt return.

Art Hebberger ran back the second-half kickoff 91 yards for a touchdown as Kirkwood High School downed Country Day, 26-0, yesterday at Kirkwood. Country Day held favored Kirkwood scoreless the first period, but the victors went to work early in the second quarter as Carroll Maas climaxed a 70-yard march with a 9-yard touchdown jaunt. A Hebberger-to-Charley Meyer aerial was good for 47 yards in the second period and Maas again scored, this time from the Brentwood four. Vernal Chomeaux traveled the last four yards for the final touchdown. The second game developed Into THAT was no bull session' the Missouri Tigers had at Durham, N.C, yesterday.

"The devil Blue Devil you say," was the only comment of Moleskin Mike. "Deer hunters could go after the buck, but could show no interest in the doe." That was the answer to Rowdy Rudy's suggestion that deer come' dear. "I wouldn't give you two bucks for all the bucks in the woods," fired back Arson, the old blaze-away guy.

"That's what happens when non-wrestlers meet without reading the script." The hat trick in hockey Is becoming so common hardly any-on tips a dip to It any more.

Hats off to the hat trick. -The Sam Breadon testimonial is going to be SOMETHING. Breadon is the dean of major owners and there's never been anything dizzy about him except Dizzy. "And Singing Sam wishes he could have a Dizzy Dean every year," cracked Homer Smack. Jackie Robinson says he was paid $5000 by the Dodgers last season and that ha received no bonus.

I freeze and tighten up, he's got a chance," was the reply of the "Old Professor," Billy McCarney, as we dared him to voice an opinion about the coming title fight between Champion Joe Louis and Jersey Joe Walcott. The two Joes will battle in Madison Square Garden Dec.

5 for the world heavyweight crown. McCarney "you remember him. He was co-partner with the late Joe Jacobs in the management of Max Schmeling, when the "Black Uhlan" came to this country to campaign for the title. The professor, who resides in New York, was here yesterday en route to Springfield, with Ad Thacher. Thacher was mayor of Toledo and helped bring to that city the torrid fight in which Jack Dcmpsey won the world championship from Jess Willard in 1919.

McCarney had the concession privileges for that fight. "I've seen a lot of fights in my 75 years. I've learned that old gag Is true 'anything can happen In the ring'," MrCarney commented. "You'd think the Dec. 5 fight was a shoo-in for Louis.

He keeps In fair condition. But In kIx eurs or more lie's only fought half a dozen rounds or so. He didn't even get warmed up cither time. Jarkton carina: Teurhdawas Walker Rudalpk, Hlppenmeyer, Byrne. Paint altar tettekeewa Ll.bip.

Bring Max Schmeling Back? i IJTHAT would you say to Max Schmeling coming back to North America to fight?" queried McCarney, with his Irish eyes smiling. "No good, what?" "At 41 you spell the name Smelling," we suggested.

"Well, there are persons who are entertaining the idea. I've had a proposition," the professor explained. "A fellow in Buffalo- sounded me out. The name Is Salvatore Licata, an Italian of considerable note-chiefly bank note in his bailiwick. He wanted to know if I would handle an American tour of Schmeling In the United States.

"That was nuts, of course. They don't issue licenses to fighters over 40, in New York. Still, he won his last six comeback fights on knockouts. Last man he stopped was Werner Dollner whoever he is. But I still told Licata no.

"But Max might be eligiblo in South America, Mexico and Cuba, where scrappers, like wrestlers, never grow old. Maybe Max could make some money down there. I'm receptive as tour manager, if they want that." McCarney, well-known to St. Louisans of an earlier, generation, is a remarkable man at 75. He is in splendid physical health and mental vigor.

And probably his one heartache is that he once developed a near-world-champion and lost him. Billy -had Lute McCarty the handsomest heavyweight that ever donned a glove. The professor picked him down Springfield, Mo, way (and that's where he and Thacher are headed today) Lute smashed his way through all the white hopes. He even beat Jess Willard shortly before Jess won the title. And then, In a fight with Arthur Pelkey of Chicopee Falls, McCarty suffered a stroke, following a light punch in the ring.

The professor's dream and a fortune vanished then. 0T4 He Picks Joe WILLIAM (BILLY) Mc CARNEY, "the Old Professor" to the boxing fraternity, ays Joe can't lose the Joe Louis-Joe Walcott title fight Dec. 5.

But what's ahead of him should be different." "Perhaps," we suggested, "you think the coming event will be a matter for the coroner?" "Kid us along, if you like," he grinned. "Yon might be right at that. Rut just remember that they felt the same way about Schmeling when he fought Louis the first time and knocked out the 1 to 3 favorite. And don't forget that the odds were almost out of ST. CHARLES (18).

Cleveland and Beaumont now fhare the league lead, each, showing a 5-0 iccord in loop play.

The Dutchmen will be idle until they Beaumont, while the Blue Jackets must get past McKinley next week to set the stage for the pay-off game. The Dutchmen struck hard and fast early in the first quarter. Harry Dinger, Central quarterback, fumbled while attempting to kick on a fourth down and Gerry Green recovered for Cleveland on the Bed Wings' 20-yard line. Four plays later, Augie Keller shot over left guard and galloped 16 yards into the erftl zone for Cleveland's first score. Cornelli Has Big Day.

On the first play of the second quarter, Bill Cornelli, Cleveland's elusive half-back, shot through center, cut back and raced 43 yards for a touchdown. This time Lincks' kick was good and Cleveland led 13-0. A few moments later, the were back in Central's territory threatening again but this attack bogged down on the 18-yard line. However, Cornelli ran back a punt 30 yards to the Central 10. On the next play, Quarterback Dick Ortmarin passed to Norm Zesch for the score.

Lincks's kick was pood, making the score Cleveland 20, Central 0. Their running game stopped, the desperate lied Wings opened tip with an assortment of pusses. One of these last-minute passes boomcrarged into the fourth Cleveland touchdown as Bill Keighley grabbed an aerial thrown by Draper and went over from the Red Wing 15-yard line.

Ortmann, who was sparingly by Coach George Meinhardt, kicked out to the Red Wing 4-yard line shortly after the second half started. On' the first play, Zfcsch pounced on a Central fumble on the Central 7-yard line. Two lays later Ortmann pitched his second touchdown pass to Zesch and when Lincks's kick was good, Cleveland led, 33-0.

LOUIS sight against Braddock when he took the title away from Max Baer. You have to keep a tight hold on your prejudices and your bankroll when you're tempted to wager on a sure thing in the fight game." But not Louis, we objected. Here's a great champion, proved through the years. And who in heck is Walcott, after all, we wanted to know. "Well, he's the best of a poor lot, I'll have to admit," the professor conceded.

"But here's a guy who's been fighting right along. He's ready to go. He's had what it takes to win. Condition and preparedness means a lot in this game." Louis Risks Everything For a Mere 100 Grand. "But he's as old as Louis or maybe older," we objected.

"And Joe keeps in fair condition, too." 'That may he right," replied Bill. "But Joe keeps In condition by knocking around a golf ball. Walcott keeps in shape by knocking guys out. That gives him an edge. We may see a fight." We couldn't see it.

Not with a Louis in the ring. Besides, the professor, at 75 is more an optimist than ever. "Anyway," concluded McCarney, "they're both going to come out winners financially. The crowd will pack the house even with a $30 top. That means a net of over $250,000 at Madison Square Garden.

after Uncle Sam takes over the income tax situation, it will pay both of them well, since they divide 60 per cent of the net receipts. And Jersey Joe with six or eight kids to feet!" So, there you have it, Joe LouU, whose record rates a million-dollar house, may be fighting his last championship bout for a measly 100 grand or so.
