MORITZ, Switzerland, Feb- ruary 11 (#).~"Referee, Referee,” was the shout of the Czechoslovakian hockey team as they took the ice on the Olympic rink yesterday after- noon to practice. There was no referee present. Finally a tall, lanky man volunteered to act. The team practiced a few minutes, when the self-appointed referee ruled off two hockey players for intensive body checking. “Let me show you,” said the ref- eree. Then, gathering up a stick, he ran the entire length of the Czecho- slovakian defense and scored six goals in rapld succession as the be- wildered team gasped. “Who's this man?” asked Jaroslaw Popistil, the Czechoslovakian goal- keeper, just as another speedy shot found the net. “Dave Trottier of Canada,” was the reply from the sidelines. | WILMINGTON QUINT BEATS HIBBS TEAM Laird, Dissel & Meeds Co. basketers B, | meet me in early Summer. of Wiimington, Del., defeated W.

Light Heavywelght Champion of the World. O keep up interest in a class the champion must be a fighter. He must be willing to meet the best men available; not to dodge eyery dangerous one who comes along. Another thing is needed, a group of capable contenders. There are three outstanding rivals for my title now. I've beaten them all, But it's from these three, unless Delancy returns to the 175-pounders, that my next opponent must come. I understand Tex Rickard will pit them against each other, the winner to These men are Jimmy Slattery, Leo Lemski and Mike McTigue. Another promising young scragper 18 Joe Sekyra, who looks as though he'll go a long way. Slattery is fast as greased lightning, 1 fine boxer and a good hitter. He twice | outpointed Jack Delaney over the six-| | round route. But he can be hurt. That | was shown when Dave Shade and Paul | | Berlenbach knocked him out, That Lomski Fight. Lomski's the most rugged of the lot, and the most aggressive. He has a world of heart and confidence, and comes tearing at you all the time. There can't be any question about the power of his punch, either. Lomski knocked me down twice in the first round of our scrap. Because he's still a youngster there's some talk of him devcloping into a heavyweight. 1 don't think he has the bulld for that. He's wo short. The third contender, McTigue, is the cunningest, smartest boxer 1 ever met. He has a great hcad and a great fight- ing heart, but I think he's passed too far along the road. He's old, as ring ages go, and the older ybu are the more brittle you get. The issue lics betweer®8lattery and Lomsk). Jimmy. of course, is far the batter ‘boxer.
