S. CHINA "A" SHOULD WIN
(By "FIVOT")
There has been a heavy list of football games during the past.
Portugal will be meeting in the Anal of the Sunday Herald Charity Cup.
London, Dec. 12. Owen-Smith was first picked to week and, as predicted China, and When Harry Mizler beat Johnny | play for England? Cuthbert be won the light-weight Owen-Smith was born in South championship after only a dozen | Africa; So were his parents fghts.
Again, he played cricket and very successfully-for against England.
But Dave McCleave, the former A.B.A, champion, is setting out to beat that record. He has had six .bouts as "a professional welter- weight and won them all.
His latest victim was Harry Ma son, the title-holder. But the fight was at catch-weights.
Has Beaten Champion Now Mason is to defend his title against Pat Butler. And McCleave
has also beaten Butler!
What Bes ahead for the former amateur?' If he can weather the storm against Erule Roderick at the Crystal Palace on Monday he will be the logical challenger to the winner of the Mason-Butler: con- test
And what he has done once he should be able to do again. Thus -Mizlerą, quick rise to championship class would be beaten by a dis- tance.
McAvoy Looks-Ahrad For cheerful optimism there is no one to beat your fighting man. Take Jock McAvoy's statement on his fight against "Kid", Tunero, the Cuban middle-weight, at Man-
chester next Monday,
I have never seen Tunero fight," says the British champion. "But "why should I worry about that?
The only way to judge a boxer's rability is to get into the ring with him. And on Monday I am going to beat Tunero."
-And Tunero! Thus McAvoy. But what of Tun- There is a workmanlike alr ero? about his views on the fight.
"I" bave won 48 out of 52 Aguts," he declares. More. I have yet to be knocked out."
South Africa
Quite a lot was said about the need for a definite qualification rule by the International Board. That was a year ago.
Scottish Scoring Machines" Two of the youngest players in the Ginsgow -team for today's inter-City match against. Edin burgh are the leading scorers, in Scottish Rugby.
They are W. C. W. Murdoch and A. E. Drummond.
Playing for Kelvinside Arade- micals, Drummond has scored 85 points in 15 matches. Good going
this.
Murdoch is not far behind. A)- though out of the game for three weeks, he has obtained 54 points fur Hillhead,
15 Points in 10 Minutes Against West of Scotland the other day Murdoch got three drop- ped goals and a try in ten minates. Fifteen points in 10 minutes!
He broke a 50-year-old record in this hurricane scoring. It was M. F. Reld who, & quarter of a cen- tury ago, dropped three goal, when playing for West of Scotland,
Famous Soccer Trainer Fate takes a strange twist in sport. I am set thinking on these lines by the sudden death yester- day of Alex Bell, the Manchester City trainer.
Thirty-five years ago Bell helped Manchester United to win the FA, Cup. With Duckworth and Roberts he formed one of the best half- back lines of all time.
