SAYS BRADDOCK
"HE WILL NEED MORE THAN HIS RIGHT HAND PUNCH”
New York, Junie 27.
"I shall still be champion in October." This was the simple comment of James J. Braddock, world's heavyweight boxing champion, to-day, when asked to sum up his prospects in his title fight with Max Schmeling, conqueror of Joe Louis, which is to take place in the United States next September.

* "Schmeling has nerve and a terrific --- right punch," added Braddock, "but he will need more than that to win the championship. What I saw in him was a fighter who at is not too goud."
Schmeling proposes to leuve here on Tuesday in the airship Ilindenburg for Germiny and to return to this coun- try to resuine his training in the first week of August.

The Rugby Union at their annual meeting in London on June 26 unanimously supported the proposal of the committee that the method of scoring be changed reducing the value of the dropped goal from four points to three, and a goal from a mark from three points to two. The recommendation will be conveyed to the International Board.
