The with three hack from lant championship outfit, stackup as the strongest opponent of the Es- kvmos thus far this season. Veterans are Kootchie Nelson, whose sensational last quarter shooting turned the tide in the championship games at Marquette, Fornettl and George Franson. These three are augmented by two reserves of last year, Clennny Felra and Paoli.

Together the hoys form a formidable crew with plenty of speed and height. All of them, along with Coach George Mason, were present at the Escatiaba- Kingsford game and have a good idea of the Escanaba attack and defense weaknesses. Jim Rouman has been working hard the last two days in trying to iron out weaknesses In llie Bskymos game bu. is frankly non eommital over the possibilities of victory over the Mountaineers. 8 0 Tough Game are In for a tough Rouniau yesterday, "and 1 ferl that unless the boys are at their best we may be in for our first defeat.

I am prepared for it. however, because I know the limitation of the boys. I am well satisfied with the way they have come along so far but realize they have much yet to learn. If the hoys play as they have shown me they can, we have a good chance of heating Iron Mountain. Put, whether we win or lose, we hope to play the brand of basketball 'hat the crowd likes to see.

SPILLING the DOPE BY JOHNNY HVKSLDfGHR WE EXPECT the high school gym to be packed tonight when Escanaba and Iron Mountain clash there are several reasons for our belief in the first place, Jim Rouman lias put out a team this year whose play has caught the fancy of the fans, not so much of in the Tirst two games but because there is action and cage finesse fans like action and cleverness and the team has shown both in its first two games in the second place, Iron Mountain is the defending Fpper Peninsula championship team still a clever outfit and fans will want to sen them in action in the last place, game will be the last time the Eskymos play at homo until the last week in January after tonight, the locals travel to Uh- peming, Gladstone and Menomi- KEILMEN PLAY AT MANISTIQUE Emeralds Eager to Win First Game of Home and Home Series neo before returning to their home court so you'd better get lo the early tonight if you want a good seat.

dis. Menominee Loop Teams In Action On Four Fronts All members of the Menominee county league loop will see action this week with four games on tap for the county fans, two of the games are league contests and two are non-league engagements. In the first league battle of the week. Hermansville displayed unusual strength in disposing of the Harris Broncos on Tuesday night 36-15 in a game played in Her- Tuansville. The other league contest is the Hermansville-Powers game which is to be played at Pow'ers on Friday.

On the outcome of this contest may hang the championship of the loop as both of these teams stack tip as strongest in the circuit again this year after finishing first and second last year. In non-league games, Stephen- lon journeys to Peshtigo to meet the strong Wisconsin team. Ste- prenson so far has won one and lost one, trimming Daggatt and losing to the Lady of Lourdes of Marinette. Harris plays Daggett .0 TWO OTHER important games involve Delta county teams tonight Manistique and Glad Stone renew their traditional rivalry on the court in a game that always draws interest these two towns are natural rivals, being about the samo size and close to each other, and games between their teams always are spirited although there is little basis for comparison, the teams appear to be evenly matched this year a parallel situation exists tonight when Rapid River and Rock tangle on the floor these two class teams are natural rivals and their games have never lacked action so basketball has its day as far as county teams are concerned. V-8's, Latter man's Win Practice Tilts The Escnnabians lost to the V- 8 's 14 to 18 in a practice game of the WPA league last night at the senior high school, and Lauer- beat the Hawks.

21-17. Roy Johnson, with 12 points, led the -8 scoring; Tom Dufour with five-points was high for the Eseanahians; Olmsted and D. Heidenreieh. with six points each were high for Lauerman's and Olson with eight points led the Hawks scoring. Chaplain A.

(). Martin, director of the CCC boxing team, announced yesterday that application is being made for a sanction permitting a match between members of the Kscanaha Amateur Boxing and members of the CCC team, to he held in Kscanaha some time early in January. The state boxing commission will act upon the request. Chaplain Martin has been very active in promoting amateur boxing in the CCC camps, having ked through a series of eliminations. a team to compete in the sectional Golden Gloves tournament at Grand Rapids.

The match, in addition to its entertainment value, is another step in reviving interest, in amateur boxing in the IT. p. An unfortunate situation now exists whereby Cpper Peninsula boys desiring to enter the state Golden Gloves tournament must win an elimination held in the lower peninsula. This means a heavy expense which be lowered if the tipper Peninsula is designated as one of the elimination districts. The state boxing commission has indicated that it will favor a separate district in the event that there is enough interest to warrant it.

All matches staged in the Upper Peninsula so far have been enthusiastically received and a successful match in Escanaba will practically insure a Golden Gloves district for the Upper Peninsula. The match is sponsored by cooperation with the local boxing club which is under the supervision the Department of Parks and Recreation. Ray Goodnaugh, WPA recreational leader is director of the club. The share of the proceeds will be used to further promote amateur boxing in the city and for additional equipment and facilities.

Gladstone, the first game of a home homo basketball series tonight at the Manistique high school gymnasium. The reserve teams of the two schools will meet in the preliminary game at 7:15 and the varsity teams will clash at 8:15. In its first two starts.

the Emeralds won from St. Joseph and lost to Menominee. They are eager to win tonight's match to keep their victory percentage above their losses. The Manistique-Gladstone series always provides plenty of excitement and tonight's match will probably be no exception. Coach Reque will probably start McMillan and Noe at guards; Hellsten, center; Counaya and Lambert, forwards.

Hamill and Norton, guards; A. Asp. center; Gorsche and Hastings, forwards, also may see action against the Gladstone quintet. on Friday night also in a league game. Daggett has dropped all of their games so far against upper peninsula schools, turning in a win last week however against the Marinette reserves and after their first taste of victory last week may give the Harris team a battle on the Bark River floor.

The Powers-Hermansville game will be the highlight of the week with both teams out for blood. Powers has not been able to trim the sawmill towners during the past several years but this year with one of their best early records they have a chance of turning the trick. Powers has won all of their games so far trimming Alpha. Daggett, and Perkins, while Hermansville has only a win over Harris in their only start so far this season. Last year both Powers-Hermansville games were played before packed gyms and the same will probably be true again this year as interest is running high in both towns.

RASKBALL FANS still are trying to figure out what is behind the Detroit Tiger trading this year to the uninitiated observer, that swap of ageing Billy Rogell for ageing of (he Cubs there apparently any more difference in them than In the last syllable of their names and the trade of Benny McCoy, home town boy who displayed such promise as a recruit last year, seems difficult to fathom there is some slight basis for trading here, however, in that the Tigers probably felt that Judge Kenesaw Landis wouldn't make him a free agent if he were traded in other words, the Tigers felt that they would lose Mr Coy anyway and might as well try and get some player for him in trade but Landis stymied that but the trades may have some value at least they keep fans talking about the Tigers. High Fever Cancels State Title Match Detroit, Dee. 14 boxing match to determine the state welterweight championship was postponed indefinitely today when Joey Miehielove, one of the principals. was reported to have contracted a high fever. Mehielove was to have fought Mansfield Driskell, Uso of Detroit, at Falrview Gardens tomorrow night.

John J. Hettche, state athletic commissioner, who has instituted a program to crown Michigan champions in each weight division, said that Miehielove had been examined by a commission physician and ruled unable to light. Central State Off On ljOO Mile Trip Mt. Pleasant, Dec. 14 Central State Teachers college basketball players and two coaches squeezed into two automobiles today and then started on a trip for a series of three games.

It is the longest trip a Central State team ever has attempted. Central quintet will play New York, Dec. 14 Ambers, the first fighter ever to regain the lightweight championship from the man who dethroned him, has been elected the prlxe of 1939 by the country's sports experts who participated in the Associated ninth annual poll. The little Herkimer Hurricane, won his 135-pound title back from Henry Armstrong in their famous of the barely nosed out the veteran of the Boston lied Sox for the distinction, with 56 points to 50 for the pitcher. Tony Galento, the heavyweight fighter, placed third with 4 3 points.

Altogether, 6 7 athletes were nominated as first, second or third choice by 73 writers. Ambers was the first choice of 13, while 10 plunked for Grove and 9 for Tony. Three points were awarded for first, two for second, one for third. It was a close thing between Ambers and (trove right down to the final batch of votes. Whereas victory over Armstrong in their second battle was clouded somewhat, by the fact, he was awarded five rounds on fouls' remarkable performance was clean-cut.

Arm In 1 93S Lefty's arm went dead and as was on the brink of 40 there wasn't, much hope he ever would pitch effective ball again. Yet he came back the past season to win 15 games, lose only four and keep the Red Sox In second place in the American league. Galento's comeback was from the siege of pneumonia that laid the great bartender low and threatened to end his ring career just when he was about to reach the contender class. Also, when Tony made his heroic stand against champion Joe Louis and then knocked out Lou Nova, he wiped out the memory of several malodorous build-up bouts. Fourth on the list with 29 points, and the choice of six voters as the outstanding comeback, was Don Meade, the little Jockey from South Dakota.

Restored to the saddle after being grounded nearly three years racing officials, he was the leading winner of the season. Niles Kinnick, Iowa footballer, and A1 Hostak, Seattle middleweight fighter, each received four first-place votes. Dick Metz, Chicago golfer; Dutch Leonard, the veteran pitcher who won 20 games for Washington; Curt Davis. St. Cardinals pitcher, and Bob Feller, Cleveland pitcher, gained two first-place votes apiece.
