Ace Gregory, the Ware Shoais, | 8. €., youngster, is to face Batche- | lor, and if any reports on Grnmu‘yl are correct, the former Georgia athlete is in for a very unvnju_v-l able evening. ' Gregory weights just as much as Batchelor, and he hoasts terrific power’ in either hand; \ Batchelor has not fought in about three months, hut he has not been jale. He has been working hard, to get into perfect condition, 105 meet some foe here that can give him a good fight. Graham has been to Chicago since his last fight and while there receiveq some valuable instructions about fight ing, ) In Perfect Trim I The big fellow is in perfect fighte i, fng trim, weighing around 200 | pounds, with not the least sign nfl fat anywhere. Batchelor is prob ably in the best condition of his|, career, and Gregory will have Lo | be plenty good to stick with him. Gregory has nat been in the box ing game for so long a time, ale ] though' he has heen fighting longer than Batchelor. Sincesenvering the‘ ring, however, Ace as made an en viable record, and is well-known! in his home state. In the semi-final of the card,}’ Pyomoter Laris has arranged an at- l tractive wrestling match, between | Sheik chamed Ali and “(‘mnt]emanl John” Damron. The match isl glateq for an hour, with the win-|. ner of the first two out of three|, falls getting the match. I Claims Championship [: Ali, who claims to be champion ! of ylndia, is one of the toughostll men in the game. He likes to’ “play” rough, and pounds his op- 1 wonent into submission with hands!‘. or feet. | } : Damron, however, is a pretty mir] hand at rough wrestling, and he ! may give the Sheik more than he | gxéi‘({ for. - John has been wrestling]‘ in thiz part of the south for many vears, and during that time has made a mood record. He is well liked where ever he shows, although he often uses rough tactics. l - Promoter Laris has arranged an sight.round fight between Max eber, of Toccoa, ang Kid Daven oft, Ware shoals, 8... C, Thia fight promikes to be a good one, g:’d much interest in its outcome is being shown. A battle royal will open the card. ‘ * Righting will begin at 8:15, with re\m}ssion being 25 and 40 cents. i " e e e e, S — | COUNCIL ADJOURNS DETROIT —(AP)— The National go;mcil of United Automobile ‘orkers adjourned a week’s session Saturday afternoon without further eomment on the “secret” strike vote-it has ordered among the 176 American Federation of JLabor lo eals 4if the motorcar industry. l b g Boss g by Science and the eFy : . ol “American People e e t Mioan: R s s -—w_':? ~""n....-«.:-““"' Laboratories have devoted years of research to discover the faets about bran.

YOUR—————— Health and Happiness ‘ l THE MEASURE OF A MAN | ‘ (Continued) ! | Another reason why we stress| | the arm measurement first is ho-: 1«-.:111&0 the average man ('ouldi Ismml considerably larger arms. | "l‘tn«- legs get a certain amount uf' | use by supporting and carrying us ‘inmund_ We have measured hun- | dreds of men and most of them,| who have taken no special U‘uin-’ ing, are better proportioned in tlw| legs than in the rest of the body. | Right here we want to ht'ingi out a vitagl point. Exercise is a| great balancer. That is when you | | » §_exercise y 0 ur| body the natural| tendency is to : i approach ideal] proportions. The| —— w e 1 1 exercised | ; m a n, although!

One of the weak- | !(‘SI alibi's vou could offer for not' | exercising is ,that you are afraid {Uf unsightly over-developed mus | cles. { It might interest you to know | that if your wrist measure ig 6 inches your chanceg for building a 15 inch biceps is very very slim | indeed, even though yvou did noth l ' ‘ | o WL ‘ g e | | > l iSeven Candidates Out for| . Pitching on First Day ! Of 1935 Practice ’ 1 l Nineteen answered the first call ‘ior baseball practice at the Uni- | versity of Georgia, yesterday :11‘~: ’tornoon. Cy Grant, captain of the| |loam this year, had charge of the| { light workout, and will continue ttn do so until football ends Friday. | i There were several boys out fnr{ ’pitching assignments, the one phc«-, the Bulldogs are weak. Seven can- | ‘did:itos for mound duty were onl { hand. ‘There were J. D. Marable, ’Julius Bishop, Geer, Benamin, .\.l {G. Foster, Harold Halstrand and | “Lefty” Nichols, { Of this crew, only one man, Nich gols‘ was a starter last season.’ . Marable, Bishop. Geer and Hal-]| %snund were candidates for pitch-i ; ing duties, but did not see much | | service. ! | Frank Johnson, baskethall :mdl | football star, is expected to re]mrti for baseball after Friday. Jnhnsnni i“ being counteg on to come through {as a hurler. ! The Bulldogs have evervthing it! itakes to make a great basehalli j team this vear, with the exception of pitching. There are .plenty ,of heavy hitters, and great fielders, ‘ and an excellent catching corp. ing but exercise your arms. There is a limit to your muscular ex pectancy in proportion to . the slzei of your bones. In this same sense if one is afraid exercise will give him wrists too large let me assure you that this is almost an impos sibility. Remember we are talk ing of muscle tissue and not fat. Among the largest and best de veloped men in the world, none of them wenre able to increase the gize of their wrist more than 10 per cent. It is safe to say there fore that the size of the bones of the body seem to be determined by inheritance and that grown people can increase the size of their bones very little by exercise. For thig reason we should strive for a symmetrical body in pro portion to the size of your frame. The forearm shoud ymeasure 1.7 times the wrist. As g general rule we might say that in the well proportioned man his upper arm, his calf, and his neck should meas ure approximately the same. The next time you hear a man boast of having arms measuring “too large” ask him to let you measure his wrist. If he claims to have more than twice that for his upper arm you can safely bet he is slightly boasting. Again, fat doesn’t count. Poor old fat just doesn't count anywhere. It cer tainly does more to destroy the good proportions of the body than| anything else, ‘ Letters asking advice on health problems should be addressed to the undersigned ,accompanied by a self-addressed and stamped en velupe. !

Six games will be play ed the last day, with semi-finals in both the “B” and “C” groups be ing played during the day, and the finals at night. - It is the second guccessive year ' that Athens High has represented the Tenth district in the “B” di vision, hut Colbert is entering its first state tournament. Colbert won the “C™ title in this district. l The Maroons are not given ' much chance at the title, but Col | bert is a real menace to other teams in its division.

Large addiences viewed the pic ture yesterday and last night and were kept busy laughing at the antics of Jimmy Cagney and Frank McHugh, “the man with a mission in life,” following the theme of tender love interest which runs through the picture, or sitting on the edges of the seats as the Mar ine planes zoomed through all sorts of amazing formations, The wonderful picture, and it is really wonderful, was made pos sible through the cooperation of the United States Marine Corps and the United States Navy. Fleet .maneuvers in the Pacific with the 16-inch guns booming, the air fleet laying smoke screens for Marine landing parties will increase your respect for Uncle Sam’s defensive agencies, ¢ pposite Cagney is Pat O’Brien as the other male lead, and once more they make the perfect team. The love interest is injected ‘into the picture in the very personable Margaret Lindsay. The picture is well worth seeing so den’t miss it. READ ; » ‘f ‘ BANNER - HERALD WANT ADS! Cardinal Contract Sent Back Unsigned By Foster Julian Foster Says He Is Not Holdout, But Wants to Wait BY F. M. WJILLIAMS Julian Foster, former football, basketball and baseball star at Vanderbilt university, and now a professional bsaeball star, has re turned an unsigned contract to the St Louis Cardinals, it was learned vesterday. Julian, who has been in pro base ball since his graduation from Vandy in 1932, says he is not a holdout, but believed it hest to talk things over with Branch Rickey, before he puts his name on the «dotted line. “Unless something unforseen comes up, I will report to Avon Park, Florida, March 17,” he said, Columbus, Ohio, of the American Association, and Number One farm of the Cards, will train at Avon Park this spring. Foster played with Houston of the Texas league last year, and had a good season, hitting well over .300. He started the season with CGreensboro, N. C., but was sent to Houston after a few weeks of the season, Best Football Player “The greatest college football player that 1 ever met on the grid iron was Beattie Feathers, of Ten nessee,” Foster said in reply to a question on that subject. “The best college baseball player that 1 played against was Freddie- Sing ton, of Alabama,” he continued. Foster is of the opinion that night baseball will eventually make its way into the majors, and when it does, he believes, it will be suc cessful. In the Texas league, the majority of games are played at night, and it attracts many more people than a day game, he said. “Night ball is bad for a player, but the fans like it, and will pay to see it, so we juse as well make up our ming to play at night)” Foster said. ‘lt is mighty tough on a fellow’'s eyes, however,” he said. Foster, who is a student at the University law school, had plenty to say about Harold Epps, the local baseball star, who will train with Columbus this year, He. needs a little more experience, however, the former Vandy star believes, ‘g Praises Epps “¥e'll be ready in one more ‘year,” Foster said, regarding Epps. “Ile has speed, can hit, and can throw, but he will have to improve on his fielding, I think. I believe he will go on up,” Julian said. “Epps reminds me of Ty Cobb, in a way,” said Foster. Julian said he had seen the famous Georgia Peach play many time, and that Epps had just as much speed. Asked what was his biggest thrill in sports, Foster said he couldn’t say. However, he said, his biggest tarill in football was when Vandy beat Minnesota 33 to 7. “My biggest thrill in baseball came in my first professional game, I was playing in an exhibition against the Yankees, and managed to get three hits,” he said. “That was certainly thrilling, because the Yankees were world's champions then. In relating some of his exper= jences in baseball, Foster told of one incident that was unusual, and one that we had never read or heard before. Unusual Story “When I was playing ball in the Geargia State league, in 1933 there was a boy in the league named “Chief” York, he began, “York was a catcher. Along about the end of the season, some scout picked him up and he was sent to Beaumont. “For the remainder of the 1932 season he failed to get into a game, and in 1934 he again reporteq to Beaumont. Beaumont, however did not have room for him .on its roster, and he was ‘loaned” to Fort Worth, subject to be recalled at any time. : “About a month after the season started, one of Fort Worth's out fielders was injured, and York was sent in to play. He played for! ‘about two months, and hit 26 home runs, and Detroit, who uses} Beaumont for a farm, called him in just before the season ended.l The Tigers won the pennant, and | York managed to get into a couple of World Series games as a pinch hitter,” Julian related. It is something unusual, when a ball player goes from a semi-pro league to the majors in a year.

MAROON GRIDSTERS STANNAGENCADIY Yesterday afternoon, Coach Howell Hollis, the head-man of Athens High school football, broke thg suspense that has been hang ing over the Maroon football camp for weeks and let his candidates losse . for their first football serimmage of the spring session. It is needless to say that the boys showed the usual “first serimmage” form, they always do when they get down to what they consider the “real football” work. However, during the long serimmage, it was wvery easy. to see that some of the boys, though small in statue, know plenty of foothall and all that remains is for Hollis to bring it out wigh the finer points and plenty of practice. There is no scrimmage expected this gfternoon, but a hard workout will probably fill the card with the second skirmish coming about Wednesday and another perhaps Thursday or Friday. Eobby Daniels, guard was the orly returning ctterman who touk part in yesterday’s scrimmage, but several others are expected soon, especially after the announcement that at least one spring game with Grenesboro is a certainty. The lone veteran gave a good account of himself in the work yesterday, as did “Coot” Bryant, Wheeler Hawkins, Jack Cooper, C. B. Guest, Jimmy Stephenson, Jack Davis, and several others. The only mishap of the serim mae hefell Mell Bray, when he broke his arm. All other candi dates came out of the serimmage with scuh minor ailments as bruises, scratches, cuts. Bray will be out for the remainder of the spring, it was announced. Trackmen, Swimmers at Athens High Get Tough Practices Here Monday .

Within the next day or so the ,swimming team is expected to an ynounce meets with some high Ischool tank team, probably Boys’ 'High school of Atlanta, one meet to be held here and the other away. .

TENNIS SLATEAT GFORGIA RELEASED Ceorgia Netmen Have Big Season Ahead, Slate For '35 Shows The most extensive tennis sche dule in recent years was announced vesterday by the TUniversity of Georgia officials.

Georgia has several veterahs re turning, including Bud Lindsay and the prospects are bright, although there is little chance for a cham pionship team. Wade Hoyt, Ed mund Laudau, Fhij Jordan, Frank Swift, and Aaron Cohn sophomore candidate, are among the expert racquet weilders. The team will open its schedule April 3 and will devote the remain ing time from now to that date to improving their games and work ing hard on doubles play.
