Schmeling Braddock Talks Stall Over World Heavyweight Title
New York December reports show Max Schmeling and Jimmy Braddock at an all day meeting with promoters and the New York State athletic commission. Negotiations cover June title bout at Madison Square Garden or Long Island City, forfeit clauses, possible February or March fight timing, and the condition that the winner posts a 25000 defense oblige. Schmeling wants to block any Louis bout and says a loss in a tuneup would undermine the title.

Forgotten Man Coop Shines In High Grid Team’s 1936 Run
Carl Cooper of Grafton earns major credit for the 1936 season as a star halfback and top ground gainer. An injury fractured his knee cap during the Philipps game, sidelining him and leading to his initial exclusion from all-Big Ten and Kiwanis celebrations. Recovering at home, he remains a key figure in local football lore as his leg heals and he plans a return to the field.

In Richmond on December 12, Southern Conference delegates endorsed a modified form of the abolished Graham plan for banning athletic subsidies. After Virginia University resigned over an intolerable situation, 15 member schools approved a compromise: all forms of athletic financial aid must be approved by a faculty committee and not based primarily on athletic ability.
