Fla., Feb. 27. Heia a veteran of hundreds of battles that included such opponents as Mike McTigue, Tommy Loughran, Taul Berlrnbach. Johnny Risko and other veil known battlers. But none of his previous bouts carried such importance as his coming mixup vrith Sharkey. It will be the biggest day of hie career. Until a y*ar ago Stribling had met with only fair success. He had worked his way to a shot at the light-heavyweight title twice, but fell down on both occasions. With the retirement of Gene Tunney from the heavy weight ranks, Willie stepped out for the bigger game. He concntraied on a punch writh enough • potency to bowl over the big boys, and as a result something like 36 of bis last 43 fights were won by knockouts. Most of them, probably, were i setups, hut they prove that Stribling packs a wallop, something that Shar key will have to respect when the pair climb into the Miami Reach ring. ^ Stribling is only 24 years old. Hr was born at Brainbridge, Ga., Dec. 26, 1904, and made his professional boxing debut in 1921. I PORKERS BEAT| RICE 51 TO 18 Practically Sew Up Southwest Confer ence Title FAYETTEVILLE. Ark.. Feb. 16. —Coach Francis A.

There was slight doubt that the Razorbarks would repeat the dose to night. If they do. they will need to win only one of their last two re maining contests with the Texas Ag gies next week to assure themselves a tie for the conference flag. Or. if ihe Aggies should knock off the Texas University quintet in their | clash tonght at College Station the Razcrbacks would be as good as in. 1 Clubs Hosts To Weslaco Scouts • " LSIACO.

SCHEDULE MAY El PORKERS IN SOUTHWEST Told to Sign 4 Games To Get In Race For Title But They Take On Only Four DALLAS, Feb. 16.—(A')--A decree handed down by officials of the Southwest conference at their recent winter meeting here, setting out that the Arkansas University foot ballers should book themselves four games with other conference outfits ; next fall if they wanted to get their. figures in the championship pie, ap parently did not make a lasting im pression on Razorback officials. Advices from Fayetteville last I night said Arkansas had completed its 11*23 gridiron schedule by sign ing up the Last Central Teachers College of Ada, Okla.. for a game on November 9. That gives the Porkers nine games in all, hut it gives them only three conference jousts. By contenting themselves with sign ing Baylor University. Texas Univer sity and Texas A. & M. college, Raz orback officials left the matter squarely up to the governing board. If the board sticks to its decision. Arkansas will not be considered for the 1&.3 gridiron crown. And word from Fayetteville is that this year’s j edition of the Porkers will be the j strongest in several years. Arkansas officials expressed the opinion that their game with Lou isiana State, which previously has been counted as a conference con test. would be counted that way i again next fall. At the meeting here, however, it was decided the 1 game with the Tigers no longer wou'd be set down to the Porkers’ credit in the conference standing. j When advised of the Razorbacks stand last night at Austin, Dr. D. A. Penick, chairman of the Southwest ronfc-ence gave the opinion that the j Louisiana State question had been settled and could not be counted. “We are very anxious to have Arkansas in the conference cham pionship and hope they will stav in,” he said. 4 W.

The verdict of Elmer "Slim** Mc Clelland. the referee, went to Loms ki, but the cheers of 1 li'OO specta tors went to Griffith. The decision, proclaiming Lomski the winner, was ioudly and persistently booed. Unbiased ring observers agreed today that the battle was so close that it could have been awarded to either man. McClelland figured that 1 omski. the "assassin” f**om Aber deen. Wash., won the last three rounds by a conclusive margin and therefore was entitled to the verdict. Both Lomski and Griffith weighed in under the light heavyweight limit of 175 pounds.
