Heavyweight Bout on Coast Tonight Expected to Attract Crowd 0f40,000

Young Coach j Selected for Yale Eleven Mai Stevens Expected to Continue Grid Policy of Tad Jones. By United Press (NEW HAVEN, Conn., Feb. 28. Yale football adherents today looked forward to Marvin A. (Mai) Stevens, Yale’s new head football coach, to continue the coaching policy of T. A. D. Jones, resigned. As assistant coach under Jones for four years, Stevens was schooled in Jones’ tactics, and opinion is prevalent here that the Yale lootball team next fall will show no radical departure from the type of game it played last season. Stevens is only 28 years old, but he developed into a splendid backfield mentor in his four years under Jones’ encouragement. He is the youngest Yale head coach in history. Stevens played only one year of football at Yale, because of two previous years of experience at Kansas. He was a star half back on the 1923 Yale team which defeated Princeton and Harvard. Stevens was noted for his deceptive running, place-kicking and punting. Stevens was graduated from Yale in 1925, serving as assistant coach during his last undergraduate year. He has been a member of the medical school since his graduation. He hails from Osborne, Kansas.

Paolino, Spanish Mauler, Takes on Big George Godfrey, Negro Boxer. DEMPSEY GO TALKED Foreigner May Get Chance If He Wins. By United Press LOS ANGELES. Cal., Feb. 28. Approximately 40,000 fight fans are expected to pay $125,000 to see Paolino Uzcudun, the woodchopper from Spain, and George Godfrey, giant Pennsylvania Negro, exchange punches at Wrigley field here tonight. Both fighters expressed confidence. It is a ten-round match. Paolino will enter the match with the knowledge that a win may net him a fight with Jack Dempsey, exheavyweight champion, if Jack decides to come out of retirement. Gaston Bastanchury, millionaire citrus grower and oil king, on whose 3,000-acre ranch the Basque trained, today made known a desire to have his countryman matched with Dempsey in the event the former knocked out Godfrey. While Dempsey failed to add any comment to the plan, Bastanchury was in favor of the match. In the event all particulars could be arranged, a stadium with a capacity of 135,000 fans would be erected on the Bastanchury ranch for the bout. Such a match would net in excess of $1,000,000 according to estimates. By United Press NEW YORK. Feb. 28.—While attention of eastern fight fans is centered upon the approaching Dc-lancy-Heeney heavyweight bout in New York Thursday, there will be an “unofficial" elimination fight in Los Angeles tonight. Either of the principals in this bout on the Pacific Coast—George Godfrey, the ebony giant, or Paolino Uzcudun, the squat Basque—probably would be a more dangerous opponent for Gene Tunney than Delaney or Heeney, according to some ring critics. However, tonight’s victory—if one comes—must be achieved suddenly and spectacularly if it is to make an impression upon eastern fight fans. For Godfrey to 101 l along and outpoint the Basque would be to eliminate both from further consideration. Or for Paolino to wrestle his way through an uninteresting bout and win the decision would be quite as useless.
