JACOBS DEPRECATES "WHITE HOPE" SEARCH
PROMOTER INDICATES FUTILITY OF QUEST
AND ADVISES CONCENTRATION
ON `U.S. CHAMPIONS
New York, Jan. 28. Promoter Mike Jacobs has advised American boxing men to quit their frantic search for heavyweight "white hopes" and to concentrate on keeping a few titles in other divisions in "the good old U.S.A.”
He appeared concerned over the danger of a foreign monopoly on world titles.
"It's a funny thing." said Mike, “as we go into 1936 everybody is yelling for a white heavyweight who can beat Jay Louis, but if we Americans don't watch out we're able to wake up a year from now and find that the only world crown still worn by an Ameri can is that of the heavyweight slivi- rian."

Stevens, the referee, remuined on the other side of the field. Captain Stevens said that the system was found effective when he was in India. He claims that the linesmen are able to keep a closer watch on the touch line, and can novo up quickly with the play to decide when the ball has crossed the goal line.
