Page Six Pi OSes ADVOCATE December 10, i937 By GADABOUT Nate Druxman’s clever build-up of Billy Buxton as a threat to the featherweight object lesson by our a good, clean-living kid with delivery and a fair punch—a com- bination that most right-handers find impossible to decipher in such a short time as ten rounds, with the consequence that they g9° down to ignoble defeat, usually in a horizontal position and wearing @ silly look. Trading on this peculiarity, Druxman, who thinks fast, prompt- ly gathered the big name pugs al- ready past their prime and set ‘em up for Billy to knock over a-la- ten pins. Headlines followed and the merry jingle of mucho dinere in the Druxman jeans. Something along the same line was attempted locally by Ted Moore when his publicity depart- ment tried with considerable gustu to class Eddie Ryan as a feather- weight of championship calibre. Wow, while Eddie is a good show- man and willing mixer, it is quite obvious that he will never make a champion. I can name severar feathers in Wancouver who can box rings around Ryan and are gmnore entitled to the build-up. At least Druxman has some- ¢hing around which to build his propaganda and that is more than Med has in Ryan. I'd suggest to VWancouver promoters that they look around a littie. Wancouver has some real material and with A little ingenuity well have the game on its feet again. * * = = A recent discovery reveals the #ruth about Gordon Wallace’s defeat at the hands of inferior opponents down east. It seems fhat Gordie has put on weight and the day before his last fight spent a whole day in a steamer to lose twenty pounds in order to make the weight demanded. Con- sequently a very tired Wallace entered the ring and my sym- pathies are with the boy for sticking the whole route. Gordie should train down to the middle- wveight section. If he does, Freddie Steele may lose plenty of sleep because Gordie is, without a doubt, the smartest fighter ever to leave these fair shores, and ¢hat includes Jimmy McLarnin, Wie Foley and others, with the possible exception of Hec Me- Donald.

Expert playmaking and brilliant teamwork placed the Collingwood Workers’ Alliance team back in the fight for top junior soccer honors when they trimmed the heavier Fix-Gordons 5-2 last Saturday. Goming from behind to score five goals in short order, the WA’s completely overshadowed the op- position with some of the best football seen in any of the local leagues, Billingham, two-headed WA cen- tre, tallied three times from the combination work of Stu, Jimmy and Leonard Smith. Other goals were taken by Dick Northard and Bill Paulson on solo plays. The win over the Ex-Gordons preaks a long losing streak and if the boys continue to give out the same brand of soccer they dis- played in last Saturdays game there is every possibility of the WA eleven winding up the season in top spot. on the dailies that Fordham should have been given the Rose Bowl shot come New Year's Day, but ‘twas ever thus, dagnabit.

Because of a dearth of qualified opponents, Ben Foord, former Em- pire titleholder, will probably be approached for one of the proposed bouts. Leibrandt, South African champion who is at present in Eng- land, will also be approached for a bout. Last week it was announced from New York that Farr had been promised the opportunity to meet former heavyweight champion Jimmy Braddock this winter if he beats an opponent, not yet named, at Madison Square Garden, Jan- uary 21. Farr himself announced from London that he would meet Brad- dock in Miami’s Orange Bowl February 26. CCF Meet Kerrisdale Win By Default From Varsity The GCF eleven, which won by default from Varsity in last Satur- day’s fixture, is slated to meet Kerrisdale tomorrow at Kerrisdale Park in a Vancouver and District soccer league second division game.

Among the eighteen entries in the Mainland .soccer cup competition this week is that of the CCF. Since the team is one of the four slated to kick off in the preliminary round, CCF will have their mettle tested early. They have made steady prog- ress in the past three or four weeks after a mnone-too-promising begin- ning and should be able to take Vikings. Service, again, is another proposition and the CCF will require all their team-work, still somewhat spotty, to hold their own here, pro- vided they survive the preliminary. The five Mainland League teams, eight from the Vancouver and Dis- trict league's first division and three from the second, and two from the Wednesday*league constitute the entries in the competition. Varsity and Abbotsford in the first division of the V and D did not enter. Games will start in a week or 50 according to’ the following draw made this week: Preliminary Round Worth Shore United vs. Chinese Students. CCE vs. Vikings. Firsi Round St. Andrews vs. Hammonds. Maccabees’ ys. Box. Royals vs. City Police. Service vs. CCF or Vikings. Frasers vs. St. Saviours. West Vancouver vs. Radials. St. Regis vs. Excelsiors.

Draw At Nanaimo Rangers, Galahads In 3-3 Tie NANAIMO.—A crowd of some 500 people here last Sunday saw Wanaimo Galahads and Cumber- land Rangers battle to a 3-3 draw in an Upper Island soccer league feature. At half-time the home team had a two-goal lead over the visitors, but in the second half Galahads had the best of the luck and brought the score even. Play was pretty even throughout, neither side showing any marked superi- ority. WicCormick scored two and John one for Nanaimo; Watson, Mec- the city and Ontario titles and was runner-up for the Interna- tional YMCA crown and right now he is leading contender for No. 1 spot on the Canadian team.

Hard- shelled Har- vard managed to twist the Bulldog tail for the first time in four long years, which might have some- thing to do with tradition. But the real front-line news about the university which once found it necessary to boot the radical Hey- wood Broun out of its ivy-draped doors is about the couple of Harvard yams picketing before the game took place. The students strutted around Gambridge bearing sand- wich signs which read: “Scalp the Sealpers. Scalpers are unfair to Harvard men.” This organized pick- et line of two complained that duc- ats were selling for $50 apiece.
