TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1935 UNDEFEATED COLLEGIATE ELEVENS FACE STIFF TESTS --fr Today's Sport Parade By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK, Oct. may have gone over Niagara in a barrel, bailed out of a burning plane at midnight, and been married five times, but until you have talked over the telephone with James Joy Johnston of Madison Square Garden, you haven't fully lived. If Alexander Graham Bell had happened to get Jimmy on the other end of the wire when he test-, ed out his first telephone, he would have thrown the whole contraption cut the window and started work on something else. For Mr.

Johnston makes the telephone a device of horror. He answers it with a bellow which drives the receiver an eighth of an inch into your noggin and, going on from there with ever increasing violence, reaches a peak along the end of the conversation which has the poles and wires like a trapeze swing. When talking with Mr. Johnston from a distance under a mile it is much more satisfactory to simply poke your head out the window and listen.

And doubled and redoubled. He talked for ten minutes, but after expurgation his answer boiled down to this: Louis is yellow, a fraidy-cat, and a sissy, and wants no part of Brad- 'dock because he knows Braddock, of all the lighters in the business, is not afraid of him and will- walk alertly from his corner and knock his ears off. "If Louis isn't afraid of Braddock, why won't he fight him?" Johnston demanded. "When fighting what did he want? Battle In East; Army Tackles Harvard. NEW YORK, Oct.

Well, --we're offering him a shot at it--anytime he says--and if he thinks he's such a hell of a fighter, why doesn't he take'it? Could it be that he doesn't think Jim will curl up and die as those other bums he knocked out did? Louis may be a great fighter, but he'll have to lick more than a Levinsky who was scared to death, a Camera who was handled by men fo scared they didn't even give him a mouthpiece for those buckteeeth of his, and a Baer whose hands were so bad they were cocained'the afternoon of the fight, to prove it to me. You and ten thousand other experts said I was nuts when I told you Braddock would knock Baer silly. Well, you can start laughing again if you want to.

because I'm telling you Braddock will knock that Louis kicking if they ever get together." Schmeling Win Meet Joe Being a guy who likes both sides of a question, we followed our-call to Johnston with one to Mike Jacobs, the sage of 47th street, and the man who has Louis, and gave him a fill- in on Johnston's outburst. "Let him yell," said Mike. "He's just doing the best he can with a champion who has no appeal. I hear he says the Garden wants Schmel, ing for Braddock, now that they can't get Louis. Well, I want Schmeling for Joe.

My guess is that the fellow who can produce the most dough will get the German. And which fight do you think would draw and Schmeling or Brad- clock and Max? As for Braddock knocking Louis out, or beating him --well, that Johnston's been a little screwy as long as we've been friends, and that's a pretty long time."
