THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
panying layout the finish of the 100-yard finals is depicted at the top. Hubbard, Michigan, may be seen leading the field lo the wire by a scant margin. He’s on the extreme left. Wittman, also of Michigan (center!, was second, with Roberts, lowa (second from lefti third. Gray, Butler, is on the far light and Barr, Notre Dame, a step to the rear. In the lower picture, Phillips, Butler: Kennedy, Wisconsin, and Coulter, lowa have just broken the tape In the quarter-mile run, placing in the order named. It was a blanket finish If there ever was one.
This time they have signed for a fifteen-rounder and the extra distance may be all that Terris needs to put Dundee on his back. Dundee has declined sharply in the last year and when he and Terris fought twelve rounds a few- weeks ago, the young Getto fighter’s straight right to the heart almost stopped him. Three distinct times that punch, which the old Dundee would have withstood without a tremor, caused his knees to flutter and brought lines of suffering to his battered face. Dundee has been knocked out only once In his life and that time, in 1917, Willie Jackson caught him with a right swing in a Philadelphia bout that was to have gone "six fast rounds.” Two old fighters who went high in the business have been beaten by younger, stronger men in New York rings within the last two weeks. Mickey McTigue lost the light heavyweight title to Paul Berlenbach and Tommy Gibbons was stopped by Gene Tunney.
