JOE LOUIS
Sport Sparks
By RON GEMMELL
The Gemmell Intelligence Service, known in briefs (not
to be confused with shorts) as ths GIS, takes time out to
answer the mail. (Ed Note: Please enclose a copy. of the 1941
World Almanac with every query addressed to this depart
ment. I'm only a single-cylinder encyclopedia) :
Dear Sir : I am very anxious to know the nationality of
Rapid 'Robert Feller, as you fel
low term him. Last summer,
while passing throo-gh Van Meter,
Iowa, I saw bis initials, R. F.,
carved in the trunk of a small
ash. tree. Below them was this
notation: SO-18. Could this mean
he is a Spanish-Ostrian? I, took
the precaution to cut -down the
tree and am forwarding it to you
under separate cover. Please send
it back if you can't use it in an
swering this question.
(Signed)
HOLE CAVITY.
Answer: Robert William An
drew Feller, bom November 3,
J 018, stands O-foot-1 and serves
a mighty wicked baseball. The
fact that he bats and throws
right handed would perhaps in
dicate that he Is an American,
but the GIS begs to report he is
of German-French extraction.
As a young man. Rapid Robert
studied baseball. He's been clip
ping his coupons every since, not
to mention other guys' batting
averages. He is single, fond of
swift gas buggies, likes corn on
the cob but will settle for a beef
teak. Oh, yes, that SO undoubt
edly means strikeouts, inasmuch
as he hold's' the modern major
league record of 18 strikeouts in
aine innings.
I hope this fills. Cavity?
Caesar Was a Fan.
Dear Mr. Gamble (Ed. Note:
Name's Gemmell ) : Pa has bet me
a new, gas-motored washing ma
chine against a new lantern for
bis cow barn that a Peregrine
Falcon can go faster than a mo
torcycle. I think he is bird struck.
Please get me my washing ma
chine one with an automatic
wringer.
(Signed)
GRANDMOTHER OF 27.
Answer: I'm afraid you lose
your lantern. Grandmother of
27. At your age you shouldn't
be taking snrh chances. A mo-
torcycle, with K. Henne of Ger-
- many astride, went 152.80
miles per hour in 1034. This
makes a laggard out of a Pere
grine Falcon, who think's he's
going places when he hits 150
per.
Dear Gimel (Ed Note: Name's
Gemmell): I say Julius Caesar
banned bull fighting. What do
you say J
(.Signed)
CURIOUS
Answer: I say you don't know
your bull fighting. Julius was
most fond of this tidy little
game that Is supposed to have
originated in Crete, ancient land
' of -the Minotaur. The guy ac
. tuslly encouraged it. Actually,
, it wasn't nntil after Rratus got
' to Julius that bull fighting lost '
favor with the Romans. In his
prime, Julius could watch eight
bull fights at once and never
miss a punch of a picador's pica.
Goldie Sobs Some,
- Dear CJemmeil: l m having- a
terrible time, simply because I
don't know the correct size of a
curling stone or irons. I do pretty
well on a piccolo, can dial a radio
with the best and can cut a pretty
mean rue, but just because I
can't tell -my friends the dimen
sions of a curling stone I am
shunned and whispered about as
an "impossible." My social stand
lag is just about gone. I cry my-
seil to sleep at nights. Please help
me.
(Signed)
- GOLDIE LOCKS.
. Answer: Curling stones are
now standardized at 44 pounds
-- la weight, 86 inches in dream
ference and H ' inches in
height. If a stone is broken dur
: lag a game, no substitution is
-. permitted, whicli is slightly con
trary to the latest football rules..

largest fragment. Ton sip it.

Dear Gullett (Ed Note! Name's
Gemmell ) : When was the earliest
corn husking?
Answer: 8:27 a.m., central

: 40 bushels before daylight.

Champagne Taste,
Beer Purse, Says
Bank of Idaho U
KELLOGG, Idaho, Jan. 30
(7P Coach Ted Bank, whose
release as athletic director was
announced recently at the Uni
versity of Idaho, blamed the
coaching department upheaval
on a ''champagne appetite with
a beer pocketbook" in a talk
here last night.
Assistant Football Coach
Bob Tessier also was released
and Basketball Coach Forrest
Twogood resigned.
Bank predicted Idaho would
be out of the Pacific Coast con.
ference In three years unless
the university administration
and the alumni united for an
effective athletic ' program. He
said alumni were "apathetic"
during his six years at the uni
versity. The coach said be would
complete a year of active duty
as an army reserve officer aft
er he leaves Idaho September
-1 and before he returns to the
coaching profession.

Battle Begins at J 7 p.m.,
Our Time; Bookmakers
Say Five Rounds .

By SID FEDKR '
NEW YORK, Jan. 30 (iip) Red
Burman's two-year chase for a
crack at Joe Louis' hearyweight
championship ends in Madison
Square Garden tomorrow night.
- The Baltimore battler, ranked
among the first fire heavyweights
In the world for the past two
years, gets his chance with the
Bomber in a fight scheduled for
15 rounds, but which all but
Red's very best friends say will
make him sorry he ever got the
idea.
Off his record, Burman ranks
as the most workmanlike warrior
to take a shot at Joe in a couple
of years. Yet, Promoter Mike Ja
cobs and Louis' own fistic fam
ily are taking 'Burman so serious
ly they've already lined up tus
sles for Joe against Gus Dorado
in Philadelphia next month, Abe
Simon in Detroit in March and
Arturo Godoy in Los Angeles in
April.
Is 13th Defense
It will be the 13th title defense
in Louis' record-breaking run as
head man of Fistiana and his sec
ond trip to the post in the fight-a-month
campaign Promoter Ja
cobs lined up for him this win
ter and spring. He stopped Al
McCoy, an over-stuffed middle
weight, in five rounds in Boston
last month, but his ragged show
ing there, as well as Burman's
unorthodox crouching, hooking
style, has raised the hopes of
Red's supporters.
As usual, the lure of Joe's
punching dynamite promises to
make this outing a financial suc
cess. Jacobs expects more than
15,000 customers and hopes to
count a gross gate of $ 60,000 or
over.
Burman in Shape
In spite of the sky-high odds
against him the bookmakers
will lay 3 to 1 he isn't around
for the tenth round Red is more
confident than most of the fel
lows who have sampled the brand
of bombs Louis distributes. Bur
man has been in hard training
for more than 10 weeks, and
clans to meet Joe with a solid
nooK 10 tne ooay ana an over
hand right to the head. He bor
rowed the former from Jack
Dempsey, who has been his spon
sor for several years, and the lat
ter from Max Scbmeling, who
flattened Louis with the same
punch.
Provided he can keep his chin
out of the way and confuse Louis
for a while, Red may stay around
long enough to speak a little
piece tomorrow night, say seven
rounds or so. But the chances
are he 11 get careless, offer Joe
a target and school will let out
right then. This corner picks
Louis to do it inside of five
rounds.
The main bout is scheduled for
7 p. m., Pacific time.

Shaughnessy grinned - when It
waa suggested that a aeienslve
player might leap over the. center
and nab the quarterback before
he could get rid of the ball.
"We were just itching for them
to try. it be said. "The next
time we'd gain 10 or IS yards
right through that spot. Our cen
ter, you know, passed with one
hand. That made him practically
as effective as any of the other
linemen on offense. He could take
care of himself in there, and they
couldn't push him over. Then too,
as the quarterback takes the ball
he pivots away and a diving play
