Jeffries in his prime, in the opinion of Tom Sharkey, the old time sailor man who fought in the gay nineties. i In 1899 at Coney Island, Jeffries whipped Sharkey in a 25 lound title match. | ‘“The Jeffries of that night would have beaten Baer, Tunney and Dempsey one after the other with- out a halt” says Sharkey with grim earnestness. “Jeff could do everything; punch, box and ‘take it. He trained to go 100 rounds if necessary. “I think I was the best trained athlete in the world for my two fights with Jeffries. He beat me in, 20 rounds in 1898 at San Francisco and the next year at Coney. “In the second fight, I hit him so hard with a left it knocked my left shoulder out cf its socket. Two punches to the jaw which I swear would have dropped a horse didn't even make him blink his eyes. While I was reaching his chin he banged me with & right that broke three of my ribs. There was a bump the size of an apple on my side to remind me of that punch “Jeff weighed 228 pounds and stood 6 feet 2l¢ inches. He was like a cat on his feet. I've seen them all from Jim Corbett to Baer and I wouldn’t put any of them in Jeff’s class.” GRID TRIO AUBURN, Ala., Feb. 13.—Regular positions on Alabama Poly's bas- ketball team are held by three lettermen of the Tigers’ football squad of 1934.

BUNN TALKS BASKETBALL AFTER TRIP Net “Relief Map” Shows Variances in Sec- | tions of West STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal. | Feb. 3—John W. Bunn, Stanford basketball coach, returned from an extensive midwestern invasion with | his Cardinal quintet and analyzed | the variations in prevailing hard- wood styles of play in manner sug- gestive of a basketball “relief map” of the western two-thirds of the country. He reports that “‘percentage bas-| ketball"—the deliberate style where | the ball is carefully worked through | for close-in shots instead of blaz- | ing away from afar—clearly distin- | guishes midwestern teams from| those in the rocky mountain and| coast sections. | This season’s tour was the second in three years for Bunn, former | University of Kansas ace, so he knows whereof he speaks. | To begin with, he'll point to TOON~ % 3 i PREPS DEFEAT MOOSE, 37-2% Behrends, Meade, Scott Give Hope of Coming Titular Series D:Molay Krause Conc.

If a player con- tributes something outstanding to the game, he gets the crowd’s ap- plause regardless of his side. “Using the percentage game,| players in and near the Big Ten| naturally make fewer mistakes be- | cause they take fewer chances. As 1 result, their exhibitions are much more polished than those we stage on the coast. “Basketball seems definitely on the upgrade on the Pacific coast,| and I think that the reason for that may be attributed to the in- tersectional games and tours which are now becoming commonplace.” a playoff for the prep champion- ship of Southeast Alaska, Juneau High School’s basketball team play- ed a gocd game last night on the high school floor to defeat the Moose, 37 to 26. The lcss sent the Moose down into the depths of the City Bas- ketball League cellar. It was the first prep win of the second half, but it well was deserved. The high school quinetet, in spots, again lccked like a ball club that might places. For one thing, husky Dutch Behrends adjusted his shooting sights and plunked in the very, very nifty total of 15 points. On top of that, young Behrends, who has Telegraphed Anywhere!

Spiro Paul, the other high school regular, did not don a suit. He hurt his knee in a practice serim- mage Monday, and Coach Harold E. Regele held his young hustler out to give the ailing member a chance to heal. For the Moose, Jerry Ledbetter and Red Frodle starred.

Three of | the shutouts were in succession. After getting in bad with the management by getting married and helping lose the first game to Vancouver, B. C., 7 to 4, Venne settled down to the business of protecting his goal and his happy uome, and allowed only 10 points lin his next dozen games. | The management didn't think | much of Venne before the season started and tried to make a deal for a new net tender, bui now it wouldn't trade the partly bald benedict for a whole team of piayers. | e | Joseph B.
