Size May Be a Handicap By BURNLEY Giants in other fields of sport haven't fared so well lately. The most publicized mammoth of recent times, Primo Camera, was shoved into the exploded phenom class by Max Baer and Joe Louis, both of whom were some 60 or 70 pounds lighter than the Gargantuan Preem. The massive Italian is still a pretty fair fighter, but the myth that his size and strength made him invincible is forever exploded if it was ever believed by anyone. Another setback for the big boys was recorded recently when the mastodonic Jack Torrance, shot- S Oonce around, at the conclusion of which the executive committee will select the eight teams to make up the summer "under the lights" league. bix old teams and six new groups are included in the 12 team league, a departure from the former plan of two six-team leagues in A and B classification New teams granted franchises in elude Acme Auto Wreckers.

"Baby Jack" is certainly "more" of an athlete than any other well known sport figure, as he weighs well over 300 pounds, but even though weight tossing is the forte of beefy boys, the gigantic Torraace was unable to bring home the bacon in the indoor games.

Winners of their division titles. the Northern Huskies and Coach John Bunn's Indians wiH line up apparently evenly matched.

Bishop and Les Stoefen. each stand 6 feet 4 inches but the oth er Stanford regulars have the bet ter of it In the matter of altitude. A combination of circumstances was expected to result in Wash- ngton taking the floor a3 the fa vorite. One was the fact the Hus kies defeated Stanford 32 to 28 and 49 to 38 in two non-conference games last winter. The oth er was the Inclusion of ths cen- er Jump, according to the inter collegiate rules but not adhered to by members of the southern divi sion. However, in the two pre-sea- son games, stamora a ovoeien held his own with Washington's Bishop in the tipoff type of play. Cardinals Tougher Stanford's style of play is sup posed to be more rugged tnan that employed by Washington. On the other hand the northern team ranked as a more clever nnit than its southern rival. The Huskies won tbelr last coast title in 1934. They won the orthern title this year, with 13 :ctories against three defeats. capturing ten straight before los- ng one.

Britain's best puncher and perhaps her most formidable prospect for heavy weight consideration since Bob Fitzsimmons, tackles the first ob jective in a highly optimistic fis tic campaign in Madison Square Garden tomorrow night. The Lancashire Larruper, fol lowing a brief but spectacular New York debut early in the winter, will attempt to lift the world's light heavyweight erown from the dusky brow of John Henry Lewis, Arizona negro, in a 15-round match. McAvoy, the choice of most critics to win perhaps by a knockout rules a 9 to 10 choice in the betting. McAvoy, now only an over sized middleweight, likely will concede sit or seven pounds to the tltleholder, in addition to ad vantages in height and reach. Jock scaled 168 the night he flattened Eddie "Babe" Risko. the American middleweight cham pion, in one round last December.

John Steel hammer, aad ayed renter of the CinrnuDM'B, la getting almighty tired putting his suit in moth balls and then shaking them out with, a clatter, when they have to play another game. The Freshmen, the team Les Sparks built up out of what he had left over after "Spec" Keene's raids on his squad for varsity ma terial, have done a bit of basket ball playing this season. They've played 35 games, losing only eight. This week was their big week for In the short space of three days they will have had two games with the city league's toughest teams and two with state high school champion contenders. It's no record for Les Sparks, though. The Quiet graduate man ager, track and freshman basket ball coach once had a team that played three, games in one day and won them all. It was. unbeaten all season. Three times since he has been coaching freshman basket ball at Willamette, Sparks has turned out teams that went through a whole season without defeat.' o The question of what will be come of the big Softball naras that made up Pade's colorful nine may be answered. It's in the surprise that the Man' Si 'op is entering a team in the softball swim and that Vern Gilmore, erstwhile are hurler for Pade's, is at the helm. The done over backboards In the Willamette gymnasium are a great improvement over the rat tling specimens that formerly served. The backboards are the same but have been surfaced with veneer, giving a smooth, sure surface for bank shots. The latest type hops have been stuck on the boards. They have lots of spring, as they should have, making a di rect hit almost essential for a score. The bounce they give to a ball that hits on the rim also gives the tall boys less advantage by shooting it out where the shorties can get their mitts on it. Fishing tackle is being; brought oat in prominent posi tion In tfw sport goods napcr- lams nowadays and the anglers, feeling all cooped np after win ter, are testing rods and select ing flies.
