He will pit his speed and punching skill, now encased in a husky 186-pound frame, against Sail- or Eddie Huffman of California for|.*' 10 rounds in the first match of a heavyweight series scheduled to dis- close a challenger for Gene Tunney next September, The Georgian is making his first appearafce before New York fandom as a heavyweight tonight without the| guidance of Pa and Ma, who trained| him to fisticuffs from Stribling now campaigns under the direction of Walk Miller, who pur- chased the youth’s contract from his{ parents several months ago for $100,- 000. Once Defeated Huffman Stribling previously defeated Huff- man in a decision contest in Los An- geles. Huffman fought a slashing draw with Yale Okun in his last appear- ance here, Stribling has been in semi-retire- ment since hig last match here in 1926 when Paul Berlenbach, then light | hheayyweight champion of the world,! trounced him severely in a 15-round match for the title. The southern| youngster, however, has found time since that date to whip several of tha lesser heavyweights, In May, 1925, when weighing but 179 ‘pounds, Stribling knocked owt Quintin Rom- cro, Chilean champion, in four rounds at Boston. He later won decisions over Bud Gorman, Wisconsin heavy- weight, and Johnny Risko, the Cleve- land baker. Two 10-round supporting matches are on the card. Sully Montgomery of Fort Worth Texas, will meet Pat McCarthy of Boston and Martin Burke, New Orleans, light heavy- weight, will meet Blackie Miller, champion of Australio, é: Zuppke First to Start Training For Fall Sport Chicago, Feb. 7.—A)—The firs for spring football practice Big Ten was issued by Robert Zup- pke, head coach of the Illini. Zuppke will assemble his prospective pigskin warriors on February 7, and it is ex- pected that 75 football’ men will an- swer the call. : Zuppke evidently believes the time is ripe to find out just what chancg his team will have to turn back Mic! igan and Ohio State next fall, the two teams that wrecked Illinois champion- ship hopes last autumn. The Freshman stars of last fall be out in force, and the linesmen ill be subjected to a thorough in- spection to get a line an somebody to take Bernie Shiveley’s place. Shiveley was the Iilinoié candidate for the Ali- American last year and the big prop in the line. Timme, the backfield star who fa ed to get into a game last year be- cause of early season injuries, will have an opportunity to perform and the Ilinois coaching staff is anxious to see this young man in action, as he has been rated ag a whale of a ball carrier. Reports from Mllinois last fall were that the freshmen team rated only as an average outfit, but with “Zupp” in personal charge of the workouts, Mini supporters are hopeful that he will uncover several players of var- sity calibre to help turn back the Illini football enemies next fall.

R. E. Swendseid, Mountrail coun- ty, said the measure would protect neither the health, morals or the public welfare of the state and that no necessity for it exists. Rapping the alleged tendency to create regu- latory boards he said the idea could be extended to automobile salesmen, filling station operators and even to farmers, requiring men in those professions to meet certain stand- ards, R. O. Signalness, McKenzie county, suggested that the bill be amended to require realtors to show their patrons the commission charged and profit made by them in all deals in which the patrons were interested and John Ehr, Ward county, contend- ed that the bill should stipulate ao maximum rate of commission which realtors ,may charge. Otherwise, he it would be class legislation.
