Big Ten Again Faced With Possibility of Three-Way Tie fojr Lead

Low Punches Discussed in ‘Strib’ Camp Queer Explanation Made by Georgian’s 'Pa’; Referee ‘Hard’ on Holding. BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Feb. 22. The Stribling stable, “Pa” and “Ma” included, 'still are perturbed over stories to the effect that the Georgia heavyweight is punching low in training. They point out in extenuation that Young Stribling is boxing men who are taller than Jack Sharkey and that •’lows which land low on “W. L.’s” sparring mates would not foul the Bostonian. This naive suggestion is typical of the attitude of all the toward their favorite fighter. Referee Qualified The acceptance of Lou Magnolia as referee assures the fighters and spectators alike of a third man in the ring who will be unprejudiced and who will keep the boxers on the go. Magnolia steps right in at the suggestion of holding or stalling and is big enough to handle the strongest heavyweights. The Georgian is down to 181 pounds, but faces the necessity of keeping on the go in order to be prepared properly for the fight. Sharkey will have an advantage of at least ten pounds in weight. Around 193 The Bostonian weigned 196 pounds when he fought jack Dempsey at the Yankee stadium in the summer of 1927. He weighed 189 for George Godfrey and 188 for Harry Wills, both of whom he defeated. More recently, Sharkey has been fighting at around 193 pounds. Sharkey and Stribling are trained to a fine edge, and there is considerable concern in both camps regarding the necessity of building them up. The battle occurs next Wednesday night. STECHER LOSES By/ Time* Special BOSTON, Feb. 22.—Jce Stecher lost to Joe Malcewicz in a heavyweight mat match here Thursday, two falls in three. Pat McGill defeated Cowboy Rogers.

Christner in Feature Bout With Basque Heavies Clash Tonight in Ten Rounder at New York. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Feb. 22.—The. fistic marvel of the age, Meyers (K. O.) Christner, who has reached the top at an age when most fighters have wilted away and retired, is at the cross-roads of his career. The 34-year-old Akron, 0., heavyweight meets Paolino Uzcudun, rugged Basque, in a scheduled tenround bout in Madison Square Garden tonight, and he can establish himself in the front ranks of the contenders for the vacated heavyweight throne by sweeping aside the most annoying contender of them all. Paolino never has been atale decisively to defeat an outstanding heavyweight, but neither has a leading contender ever been able to show up the brave Basque. If Christner can fell the ponderous Paolino, he will have solved the biggest riddle in the heavyweight division. For no man can justly claim the heavyweight title until he has either conquered Paolino or conquered his conqueror. Paolinc is an 8 to 5 favorite. But Christner believes he can whip any man who comes at him. Paolino does not know any other way to fight. It is interesting to note that neither Paolino nor Christner has ever been knocked out. It is perhaps more important to note that Paolino and Christner have won the biggest majority of their bouts by knockouts. Paolino has scored twenty-four knockouts in forty-one bouts, and Christner has scored thirty-one knockouts in forty-two bouts.
