Promoter Mike Jacobs, to set 'em up in another alley. The Brown Bomber scored the third straight "strike" of his comeback campaign at the inaugural show of Promoter Jacobs' Hippodrome indoor Friday night by knocking out Jorge Brescia, giant Argentine, in the third round of a scheduled 10-rounder.

Brescia rolled over on his blood-splattered face, a badly beaten vie-time, after 2 minutes 12 seconds of both tame and furious fighting. Louis was far too ring-wise for the young "Bull of the Pampas" and he hit too hard. Brescia, sent in to fight the ring's most fearsome puncher after only eight unimportant battles. Impressed the crowd of 5,200 paid spectators with his gameness under fire, but that was all. Apparently frightened by Louis' reputation, the "young bull" opened cautiously, forcing the Bomber to do all the leading.

He didn't throw a single punch for the first minute of battling as Louis backed him into the ropes and hammered him with rights and LITTLE REDS BEAT -0 Score Twice in Second Period and Once in Final Quarter The Little Reds of Central chalked up a 20 to 0 victory over Resurrection at Marshall field Friday afternoon. Central pushed over two touchdowns in the second quarter and one in the final period. A 70-yard dash by Chambers set the stage for the first touchdown, Ankey going over for the score and Coryell adding the extra point. Fuller scored the second touchdown, and Chambers skirted his right end for the third Central touchdown late in the final quarter. The parochial school gridmen put up a plucky fight.

They neared Central's goal-line in the first period on a pass from Kramer to Bauman but the Little Red defense held for downs.

The favored Hoosiers counted on a sturdy string of veterans, which defeated Centre 38 to 0. to rock the Michigan Wolverine back on Its heels despite the loss of Fullback Corby Davis, out for the season because of an arm infection.

Coach Harry G. Kipke, "encouraged" by the way his Michigan team snapped out of the dumps occasioned by Michigan State's 21 to 7 victory here last Saturday, stood pat on his green young sophomores whose "Jitters" contributed to the Spartan victory. The chances were good, however, that some of the cub Wolverines would not appear In the starting lineup so soon after last week's defeat. Barclay at Quarterback The Michigan coach made it plain that the boys who would be demoted would be among the first to be called In as substitutes and indicated that every one of them would have an op-porunity, before the final gun, to atone for any mistakes he may have made last week. Bill Barclay, Flint junior, came to the front and center during the week's practice for the starting quarterback berth.

For rest Jordan seemed to rate an edge over Kramer and Luby, another ex perienced man who is seeking the oertn. Both Michigan and Indiana staged light workouts in a severe shower Friday. They took turns in sallying forth trom tne shelter of Yost field house to try their hands with a wet ball.

Prospects of more rain Saturday. which caused hurried revision of at tendance estimates downward to 15,000, appeared to favor the Hoosler visitors. Michigan has been pointing its aenat attack, which failed miser. ably in the opener, all week, whereas Indiana, although it employs frequent long passes, depends as much on its power plays from McMlliin's tricky tirc-iuau iurmauon.

COLORADO SIGHTS NEW TRACK MARVEL FORT COLLINS, Oct. 10 0P Glenn Morris, alma mater, Colorado State college, may produce another decathlon contender for the 1940 Olympics.

Julius Wagner, assistant track coach, believes he has a promising candi date in Leonard Volz, Fort Collins hus ky, who plays fullback on the foot ball team, and competes in the sprints, hurdles, shotput and broad Jump in track. Wagner says Volz looks to be as good timber for the 10-event test as Morris did four years ago. "Volz is more consistent than Mor ris," Wagner explains. "He has a better competitive spirit. By that I mean he relaxes better in competition." Wagner and other observers believe Volz would equal or surpass Morris' marks In the shot, discus and broad Jump, and hold him even in the 100-meter.

400-meter and runs. The high hurdles and high Jump would give Volz the most trouble. He Is planning to begin practice for the decathlon next spring. He is a senior. HOLT ELEVEN SMOTHERS WILLIAMST0N HIGH, 32-0 Special to The State Journal: HOLT, Oct.

10 On a muddy field Holt high school defeated Wllliamston, 32 to 0, here Friday. Early in the first quarter, Lott, after a steady march from the kick- off, crossed the goal for the first score. Other touchdowns were made by Barnard, Rehkopf, Balsll, and Lott. Points were scored by Roder and Cloar. The outstanding play of the game came in the tnird period when Lott ran 55 yards for a touchdown.

RES TON straight football even in the high schools. They do Just as much passing as we do. I think that's why our football is superior. We have the best coached high school football teams In the country. What annoys Bell is that he says he has never had what ne calls good passer.

"Bob Finley. my fullback, is all right, and I've got a couple of ends and a guy named Myers who can peg it around a little, but I've never really nad a great passer like bunin bam Baugh of Texas Christian." said Bell, UP PRETTY EVENLY Vanderberg Definitely Out of Game with Injury; Die-bold Ailing SKIB0S ARE PREPARED By GEORGE ALDER TON (Sports Editor) PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct. 10 Sklbo of Carnegie Tech and Spartan of Michigan State squared off here today for what promises to be a hotly contested football game In big Pitt sta dium this afternoon.

Vanderberg will not play. He was not permitted 'to don a uniform Friday in the workout at Pitt sta dium.

He said he was in doubt as to who will get the call and will not name his choices until game time. Judge Walter Steffen.

head coach of Carnegie, and Howard Harpster, nis assistant, are pointing their team for the first victory a Plaid eleven has ever scored over the Spartans. State won one game. 13 to 0, and they played to a scoreless tie in another. The weather is to be fair and slightly cooler, according to the forecaster.

Vacuum-Weight Belt Missing Ring MANILA. P. Oct. 10 UP) A search Is on for a gold and silver belt emblematic of the world's "vacuum weight championship." The vacuum" division of the prize ring was the creation of Monte La Mountain, now a Manila cafe proprietor. The story dates back to the young er days of the famous Pancho Villa, the greatest little fighter to invade the United States from the Philippines.

When Pancho first scrapped in the Islands he weighed 89 pounds. He was too tough for the little fellows so they threw him into the ring with flyweights and batamwelghts. Monte, an early admirer of Pancho. thought the little bundle of dynamite needed some recognition, so he put up the "vacuum-weight" belt. Pancho cleaned up the field and copped the prize.

When Villa went to America, there to win the flyweight title and to be stalked by the tragedy that ended in his death, he took the Monte belt along. The emblem disappeared and now Monte has started a quiet search for It. GRIDMEN LEAD HITTERS IN SOUTHERN CIRCUIT KNOXVILLE, Oct. 10 Three of the top hitters in the Southern suo-elation are former football stars. Beattle Feathers, former Tennessee -star, was hitting .421 when he left the -Knoxvllle club to give his attention to professonlal football.

Whltey Wis tort, former Michigan tackle, is batting .3 DO for Nashville, and Fred Slngton, who was an All-America tackle at Alabama. J8I for Chattanooga. THE HEAVIEST MAM The heaviest man on the Louisiana State grid squad Is Ben Friend. 240-pound tackle, who stands tlx Itet lira inches In height FRANKIE WALLAC left hooks. Brescia nailed Louis with a long right to the eye that made the Bomber blink but it was his best and only good punch of the fight.

Before Louis stretched him on the canvas, the Argentine, his legs wabbling under the terrific fire, gamely mixed with Louis. The flurry lasted 20 seconds and brought the crowd to its feet but the crafty Detroit negro sent his opponent reeling with a terrific right and knocked him down and out with a well-timed left hook. He was out for a full minute. Cher his comeback drive, Louis has used up 11 rounds In disposing of Jack Sharkey in three rounds; Al Et-tore in five and Brescia in three. None of the fights proved much to the experts, who thought the Bomber was invincible until Max Schmeling proved he wasn't, except that Louis still hits too hard for the average iignter.

Only ,24,820.32 was paid in the gate irmay nignt. Louis' next Important fight, still in tne tentative stage, may be as Dartici- pant In Ed Bang's Christmas show at Cleveland.

(Quakers Outplay 6-A Rivals By Wide Margin but Fail to Score 'JACKSON FANS JUBILANT By TOM O'BRIEN JACKSON, Oct. 10 Lansing Eastern's undefeated record against Jack-eon high school football teams was buried under the cleats of a badly outplayed but stout-hearted Viking eleven on muddy Withington field here Friday night. The score was 7 to 0. The game was played under the Vorst weather conditions conceivable.

Bo thick was a fog which curtained the field that the players' numbers were barely distinguishable from the Tn-iss rookery. A heavy rain fell during the second half and thoroughly (trenched the gridiron that already had been made soggy by an afternoon downpour. Jackson rooters went wild with Joy 'hen the final gun cracked giving the Vikings their first victory oyer an Eastern high school football team in Bevcn starts. They tumbled from the stadium onto the field to form a snake dance and parade ecstatically up and down the gridiron. Eddie Gosciewskl, the boy who scored the winning touchdown, was borne aloft on the shoulders of a mob of fans and hailed as the conquering hero from all sides.

The celebrating shifted to the downtown streets shortly after the game end the trumpeting of automobile horns resounded through the business district far into the night Vikings Get Breaks With due credit to their magnificent series of goal-line stands and alertness is seizing every break that came their way. the Vikings were exceedingly fortunate to come off the field on the long end of the score. No team was Wore completely outplayed than Jackson Friday night. A glance at the record of first downs shows 11 for the Quakers and but two for the Vikings. It.

was a game In which the Lansing team was almost continually knocking at the touchdown door only to be rebuffed by the excellence of the defense play of Its opponent and the capriclousness of that woman known as Lady Lurk. The breaks Just didn't come in the Quakers' direction. Only once did the black-shlrted Vikings Invade Eastern's territory and that was on the touchdown play. On the first play after a fumble by Bob Sherman on his 47 midway In the second period. Gosciewskl raced Into a big hole at his right tackle and once across the line of scrimmage he veered sharply to his left.

He sprinted out Into the open without as much as a hand being laid on him thanks to almost perfect blocking. The Quaker secondary was swept down with the exception of Sherman who made a futile lunge at the galloping Gosciewskl on his 8-yard line. That was the Vikings' only offensive flourish all evening. Again Turned Back The Quakers missed opportunity after opportunity to score. After an exchange of punts In the opening minutes of play Eastern's attack gen-crated by Sherman.

Knapp. and Walter Ball started a drive from Jackson's 38 to the 4-yard line where the Vikings held for downs. On fourth down. Knapp, who was substituting for the injured Orin Brower, was barely a foot short of a first down. Fighting with their barks to the wall.

Moleaart again kicked out, the ball rolling dead on the Jackson's 25-vard strioe. Again the fury of the East-em's power plays was unsheathed and here it faded on the Vikings' 1-yard line where Maro Miller fumbled the slippery ball and Jackson recovered. This all hrppened before Gosciewskl broke away on his touchdown Jaunt. When the half ended the Quakers were again threatening to score and to wipe out Jackson's 7 to 0 lead. The Quaker line was outcharging the Viking forwards, and the end-around play baffled the local forces repeatedly.

Don Br 11 put the Quakers in another advantageous position to score In the third quarter when he made a spectacular catch of Sherman's pass and ran to Jackson's 20-yard line for a 17-ynrd gain. The Viking defense sparked by Epperson. left end. tightened and Jackson took the ball on downs on Its 18-yard line The Quakers sallied goalward again on an exchange of punts. A series of off-tackle thrusts placed the ball on the Jackson 35 when Sherman faded bark and whipped a pass to Wayne Green who was tackled on the Viking 20.

Bob Saunders was nailed behind the lir.e of scrimmage for a 4-yard loss on the next play. But Quarterback Sherman called on him again and this time he strupglrd to the Jackson 10 before he was tackled. Two shots at the center of the line by Knapp made Jt a first down on the 8-yard line as the third quarter ended. Sherman Outstanding Sherman and Saunders carried the ball on two plays to the 1-yard line but again the Jackson line, fighting on sheer courage, hurled back the final charge and took the ball on downs. It.

was the Quakers' last threat. They opened up with a flurry of forward parses in the ebbing minutes of play In the final quarter but the waterlogged ball made the aerial game extremely difficult. It was a remarkably well-played game considering the wretched conditions. Praise go to the Vikings for their valorous defensive stands and ability to take advantage of the breaks. The Quakrrs waged an heroic battle.

Sherman handicapped by an Injured finger was a standout figure In the Quaker lineup. Eastern's line was an almost impenetrable unit. It yielded little yardage. The defensive play of the secondary, however, could have been a shade better. Miller some splendid kicking and Knapp proved a capable substitute for Brower Young Walt Ball looked promising In his first game as a starter In plact of the ailing Saunders.

The east siders had three scoring opportunities but failed to take advantage of any of them. At one time they had the ball on the Vocational 1-yard line but Coach Sherman Hicks' boys held for downs.

'Gil' Dobie Sheds Pessimistic Cloak CHESTNUT HILL, Oct. 10 Head Coach "Gil" Dobie, in a press conference following the opening day of practice at University Heights, startled correspondents when he quietly declared that he was "very much pleased with his Boston college squad and the outlook for the season." The newspapermen, firm believers in the legendary pessimistic shadow that has veiled his expression during his past career, could scarcely believe that this was "Gloomy" Gil speaking. Their concept of Dome pessimism shattered and their expectations of dismal, hopeless and tearful moanings unrealized, the Newshawks saw a new Dobie. Wily and shrewd as ever, but optimistic and hopeful for the season, Dobie's words gave the indication of his confidence in the 68 lacs on the squad.

EVERETT LOSES CLOSE GAME TO HASLETT, 7-6 Haslett high school's football team recorded its second Ingham county league football victory by defeating Everett, 7 to 6, Friday afternoon on the Everett gridiron. It was Haslett's third victory of the season, Everett tallied in the second period after an end around play had netted 35 yards and placed the ball on Haslett 7-yard line.
