When Champion Joe Louis steps into the Madison Square Garden ring Friday, Dec 5. to defend his crown against "Jersey Joe" Walcott, It will be his twenty third title defense. Joe's twenty two victims represented every type of known to boxing, and only two of them were fortunate enough to last the dlstanoe Tommy Farr and Arturo Godoy.

The most sensational knockout scored by Louis during his reign was the one scored over Schmellng in the second fight. And the grtest number of persons to see Louis defend his crown attended the Schmellng light. There were 80,000 of them. The most humane knockout scored by Louis was the first round triumph over John Henry Lewis And his most dangerous chal lengsr was Tony Galento, who put Joe on the floor. His easiest fight was the second Conn fight which also drew the largest gate, $1,952,564.

The smallest gate was 145,000, when 10,500 fans saw him stop Henry Thomas in five rounds.

W. ROLLO WILSON Rough Sportsmen, Both PHILADELPHIA A young Negro and a young Italian were battling one another in the semi finals of the Daily News Golden Gloves here. It was what you expect from two kids in the simon pures ounches thrown from all angles and landing at all points, heads! bumping together and general mauling.

Both were hard, but inaccurate hitters and both were almost out at the end of the first round. But Frankie Sodano dropped Johnny Dickerson for keeps in the second. After they had been dried off the kids started towards the center of the ring to congratulate one another. One of Sodano's handlers, however, grabbed him and pulled him back. Frankie broke away, again the guy grabbed him, held him against the ropes and turned to mouth Invectives at the men across the ring.

The crowd began to boo the second, Frankie stepped on his feet and he Jumped aside aa the lad rushed out to shake hands and to pat Johnny on the back. Here were two beginners in a tough game who are what Americans ought to be rough and tough, but innately fair. And the older second well, he is probably one of the characters who hang around ringside at pro bouts at the Met and helps to shout the Fortes, the Buccas, the Falcos, the Giosas to unearned victories over Negro boxers. 1 fflsasB cEfeflg 'iit'1 ami rasa CD OKDM NOW fO XMASI NEW YORK'S riNEST B2APG PAOTS TAILORS) WjQuifS Largest selection of fine fabrics.

From the moment that Co captains Arthur Fauntleroy and Mitchell Whitting ham and quarterback Tim Howard celebrated the pending kick off to hitherto unbeaten Hampton by charging out with clinched fists and recklessly throwing their bodies (sporting jMorgan's scintil lating new silken uniforms of Orange) into the four Inch sea of ooze that buttered the Pirate grid iron here in the rain Saturday. Even the dullest Pirate backer could see that Coach HtXrt'a lads were up and coming for the finest performance of their 1947 season.

The result was that the Hampton colors were trampled in the mud 9 0. Sporting their new uniforms, a new spirit and ambition, the Morgan team held the erstwhile Hamp ton terror to two first downs while grinding out 163 yards on manpower and brutality. By contrast Hampton got only 63 yards and were never closer than 14 yards to the Morgan goal line, that early in the first period. Awful weather, holding down the attendance to a total of 1,800 of the brave, was no deterrent for the victors. After a scoreless first quarter the Bears unleashed a bar rage from their own 37, beginning witn tne tentn play or the second canto and made a shambles of the Hampton left tackle slot.

Mouse traps, boxes, high low blocks, bumps, laterlal leaning, and all the other shin cracking check reins were brought Into play to keep the left tackle door ajar. Brifi htful hit for 13, Rooks got 10. Brooks picked up 5, Brown 2, and Howard 3, to touch the Hampton 27. RAW POWER Luther Godall, ace guard of the CIAA, then applied the brakes with two particularly vicious un ending of rightful and Whitting nam, out on fourth down with seven to go, Tim Howard completed the game's only successful forward pass for a 10 yard to the Pirate 15. Again the charging mrate lert side was lured Into a dismal mouse trapping of the tack le, and with the backerups de layed by a trio of hard blockers.

Jimmy rightful charged into the tnrate end zone untouched after a 15 yard Jaunt to score the game's lone touchdown.

Strode was released by the club early this season on the grounds that it was necessary to make way for younger players which the Rams were building for the future. Since then, the Rams have been hard bit by injuries to their key ends, and efforts by Strode and others to get him.

Bears Claw Pirates On Field of Water leroy converted perfectly and Mor gan led 7 0. HAMPTON OUTCLASSED With both teams revealing a marked ability to handle the mud dy ball buttered with slime that forced the officials to keep a con stant flow of toweled ones into the game, the Pirates got their last opportunity early in the third period when Whittlngham touched Casey's punt at the Morgan 47, Stiles recovering for Hampton. The Bears line clamped on the brakes, however, and started another drive of their own.

It hit its peak early in the final neriod with Jim Turpin living up to his All American rating of 1946. His 19 vard blast after taking a shovel lob from Tim Howard moved the Bears to the Pirate 6. Another stand by the big Pirate line staved off another touchdown, but eight playa later after a bad snap from center, Tom Casey was flattened while attempting to punt from behind his own goal line. This was scored a safety for the victors ana chalked up the 'final margin of 9 0. The rest of the game saw replacements working for both sides, but THE PITTSBURGH COURIER SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22.

The Vir ginia State College Trojans captured the CIAA swimming laurels in a meet which masqueraded as a football game here last Saturday winning a watery gridiron tussle against the A. and T. suuuogs, 6 0.

The Trojans struck swiftly in the first moments of the second quar ter to grab a six point lead and then put their faith in the kicking toe of Kenny Whitlock. Brother Whltlock's toe proved to be adequate victory insurance, but there were several times when tne scrapping Aggies, employing three standard offensive formations and a few original formation Ideas, seemed destined to reach down through the layer of water and find the Trojan goal line. Paradoxically, the lone scoring play of the gams was a pass, Thompklns to Jolly, for 18 yards. In a downpour of cold rain on a neia wnicn naa aimosi disap peared under a blanket of muddy water, the Trojans relied almost exclusively on Whltlock's kicking to protect a victory margin which was set up by the punting of the same Kenny Whitlock. From the opening of play, Vir ginia State utilised Whltlock's punt ing to gradually gain on the slight ly weaker punts of Aggie Murisi Reid.

On almost every exchange of punts in the scoreless opening frame, Whitlock gained a few yards on Reid until the Trojans worked their way down to the Aggie 28 yard line. It was here that the Trojans struck for the game's lone touch down. Ray Crittendon nabbed '5 yards to the Aggie 28 as the quar ter ended. The Trojans refused' to up. Norris Hite, half pint Trojan full back, hit twice for ZV yards which left the Trojans yard shy of a first down on the Aggie 18 with fourth down coming up.

At this point, the Trojans reached into their bag of tricks and came up with the surprise play of the game. Instead of executing the expected line buck, Joe. Thompklns, Trojan right half, faded and tossed the first pass of the ball game into the arms of "Jungle" Jolly Just behind the Aggie line and Jolly crossed the goal with only one Ag gie laying a slippery finger on him. Jolly, a left end, crossed behind the Aggie line to take this pass on a day when passing was not a recommended procedure. Freeman failed to convert as the Aggie forwards rushed in to block the placement.

A. and T. threatened' several times, putting on a 57 yard sus Morgan kept moving to stack up three more first downs on a surge of 38 yards. Morgan led in first downs 9 to 2, In yards gained on power, 163 to 63, and completed one of two passes attempted. Hampton tried three forward, passes without success.
