Promoter. Mike Jacoba 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."

"It's a funny thing," said Mike, "as we go into-1030 everybody is yelling for a white heavyweight who can beat Joe Louis, but if we Americana. don't watch out we're able to wake up a yent frum now and find that the only world crown still worn by an Ameri ean is that of the heavyweight divi- Rion.
Jacubs emphasized that with Clan pion Jimmy Braddock and Joe Lauta representing America in the heavy weight ranks, he figured we had a better chance of keeping that title at home than any of the others-even with Max Schmeling matched to meet Louis in June.

"Right now there are only three other Americans who hold undisputed world titlen," Jacobs said. "They are John Henry Lewis, light heavyweight; Barney Ross, welterweight, and Tony Canzoner, lightweight. When

He has defended the European welterweight title ne times successfully against the best boys over there. A lot of European experts Agure he can beat Ross.
Concerning the veteran Canzoneri, Mike said a newcomer from Puerto Rico, young Pedro Montanez who has clicked off five knockouts in eight consecutive American victories-may prove a formidable mennee for Tony before June.
OTHER TITLES

Sixto Escobar of Puerto Rico is re- cognized as bantamweight champ in America, while Balcazar Sangehill of Spain is regarded as ruler of the 118. pound division in Europe. Similarly. the flyweight title is disputed by Small Montana of the Philippines and Benny Lynch of Scotland-Gaited Presa.
New ideas in refereeing were tried out at Aldershot recently in the match between the Army and Aston Villa. Botit linesmen were on the same side of the Beld, ono in each haif. Captain D. Stevens, the referee, remained 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 move up quickly with the play to deelde when the ball has crossed the: goal line.
