DEMPSEY SHOWS CONFIDENCE IN BRADDOCK AGAINST LOUIS

UNPARALLELED FEAT

BY DRAKE

RUTHLESS EXPOSURE OF

VILLA'S WEAKNESS

SCHEME FOR STOPPING GREAT

TRANSFER RUSH

London, December 16. THE ruthless exposure by Edward Drake, Arsenal's centre forward, of Aston Villa's defensive weakness has set the football world a- talking as to what is to become of the famous club. Just when it was thought that they were about to make a recovery they have been sent headlong into the depths again..

The Villa are truly in a sorry plight. After having seen them "a fortnight ago, it did not surprise me that the Arsenal defeated them. A team, who play with Arsenal's orderliness and system; were just the sort to show up the Villa's imperfect team methods. And about Drake and his unparalleled feat of scoring all seven goals. It does not matter what the dusty pages of history may reveal there has never been anything like it before.

New York, December 24.

JACK DEMPSEY, the former heavyweight

champion of the world, is not one of those who are proclaiming Joe Louis as a super-man.

"We are not going to know if Louis is really great until we throw him in the ring with some- body who will do a little fighting himself," said Dempsey.

"Joe has got to fight an opponent who can take plenty of Until a man of this calibre is punishment as well as give it. found we shall not know just how good Louis is.

"The trouble is, most of the fellows he has fought folded up as soon as they were cracked. Joe has yet to meet a man who could, or would, take it long enough to get in a few punches on his own account.”

He knows what to do in the ring, and he won't fall for any tricks. I am not saying Brad- dock can lick Louis, but he has a better chance of doing so than has Max Schmeling, who can be hit easier."
