Underdog in Basket Game Tonight : Stribling, Heavy Boxer, Enemy of Time HOYAS WEAKENED - FOR CASEY CLASH Maryland and Navy in Two Hot Contests—Gallaudet and A. U. Victors. BY H. C. BYRD. EORGETOWN has the only college basket ball game scheduled on a local floor tonight. The game be- tween the Blue and Gray and the Knights of Columbus of Brook- lyn has been transferred here and will take place at 8:15 o'clock to- night in the Langley Junior High School gymnasium. George Wash- ington also had a 2ome game to- night, the 107th Regiment of New York having been scheduled, but it has been canceled. Georgetown will be the underdog to- night. The K. of C. five is said to be about as good as the stronger collegys Georgetown, while it has lost severul games, has a fighting group of basket | ballers who seem able to put up a great battle no matter how strong the team it meets. All through the season the Blue and Gray has carried the battle to its opponents and played good basket ball, but has lacked that necessary something to produce the few extra points which would have meant several victories instead of defeats. The Hoyas Jost_to the Knights, 2126, in a game at Brooklyn and since have dropped several capable men. Only a shade represents the difference between what has been one of the worst ‘basket ball seasons Georgetown has had in years, considering only games won and lost, and what might have been a highly successful year. The Blue and Gray, for instance, led Army and New York University by good margins for quite awhile, but faltered toward the end of each game to get nosed out. in | one case by 3 points and in the other by 1. Other games have been lost al- most as dramatically. As a veteran athlete pointed out last Fall, the margin between success and failure in almost any branch of athletics is virtually nothing. Georgetown may be depended on to- might to put up a game fght. 'HE cancellation of the 107th Regi- ment-George Washington game is said to have been due to the for- mer's inability to complete arrange- ments for a game with another local school. Two games were needed to finance the trip and when the other could not be scheduled the trip was canceled. ‘Two Maryland quints are at Annapolis this afternoon to meet Navy in what should be two of the greatest inter- collegiate basket ball games of their kind this year. The Old Line varsity and frestman squads hook up, respec- tively, with the midshipmen varsity and Pplebe teams. The two varsity teams are among the best in the colleges, and few others are as_good. The freshman and plebe fives also stand pretty close to the top of the heap in their class. INGLE scored 21 points and Cos- grove piled up 17 as the Gallaudet quint trimmed the Maryland State Normal five for the second time this year at Kendall Green last n'ght. The score was 47 to 28.

BARKER. EW YORK, February 21 (P).— Kid Francis, another of those well kno underdogs, has overturned the dope in Madi- son Square Garden, where short-enders in the betting have won with monoton- ous regularity in recent months. The rugged little Italian, held on the short end of 8 to 5 odds, showed the utmost contempt for expert opinion by belting Eddie Shea, clouting Chicago fatherweight, all over the ring last night and winning the unanimous de- cision of the referee and two judges. Shea, returning to New York after an absence of six years and in the role ot foremost contender for Bat Bat- talino’s 126-pound crown, never could fathom Francis’ unceasing attack, won only three of the rounds, reeled under | the Kid's body attack in the eighth | and tenth rounds and was complet exhausted by the time the final gong | Francis, who still can make the ban- tamweight limit, fought eniirely on the | offensive. Never taking a backward | step, he marched in to close quarters and belted Shea solidly with short joits to the body that slowed the Chicagoan down to a walk. Shea, at 126 pounds, pound pull in the weights. Tommy Grogan, Omaha lightweight puncher, floored Herman Perlick of Kalamazoo, Mich., five times in the 10-round semi-final, and easily won the decision. Perlick was reclining on the canvas when the final bell rang. but still was prepared to get up and carry on if necessary. Grogan weighed 140 pounds: Perlick. 138 A crowd cf 8200 persons saw milling.

M. C. A. and Eastern High School. However, several other clashes, nota- bly the Stewart Photographer-Polish- American game at Silver Spring and the Petworth Met-Calvary Drake tilt the Sunday School League, are pressing the twin bill closely in interest. Boys' Club and the Richmond “Y” quintet clash at 7:30 o'clock in the Boys' Club. Winners of 21 straight games, Boys' Club is confident of e: tending it at the expense of the Vir- ginians. Eastern's tossers, high school title, have met the Boy Club twice, winning one and losing one. Inasmuch as the Boys' Club and Saks play for the District League champion- ship next Saturday, the Clothiers’ show- ing against Eastern will be closely watched. The Saks-Eastern game starts at 8:30 o'clock. Petworth Mets, who have been com- ing along with a rush lately, will at- tempt, to continue their onslaught in the Sunday School League tonight in their game with the Calvary Drakes in the Y. M. C.

BY EDWARD J. NEIL, EW YORK, February 21 (. —Bill Stribling has lifted his dukes in professional combat 280 times. He has | flown 100,000 miles in 800 hours in the air. He has cracked up twice in 1,200 landings. And the most serious accident he ever had was a fall from a bicycle. He wa knocked unconscious and badiy | battered. Stribling loves speed. Every time he | geis his hands on the wheel of an au- tomobile sensible friends get out and walk. He drives as though he were trying to qualify for the championships at Indianapolis. He wants to try speed- way racing some day. On the beach at | Daytona, Fla, he shoved a stock car up to 115 miles an hour. As a youngster in Macon, Ga., “W L.” rode a wheel furiously before he ever saw a pair of boxing gioves. When he got enough money together he grad- uated to & motor cycle. ‘The wind rush- ing into his face, tearing at his clothes, gives him a tremendous thrill. He holds a transport pilot’s license now, owns several planes, and the finest of these is a big closed job. He doesn't like that one. He'd rather have a motor cycle again and the wind ripping at his face. Many fight critics believe he lacks cour- age. Everything in a Hurry. Everything he does is in a hurry. He wears everybody out around him, runs up and down stairs, bounces in and out of chairs, rarely has the patience to read for any length of time. He is im- passive just before a fight. Cautious- ness in critical moments has cost him at least two championship shots. His father and manager, “Pa” Stribling, is white with anxiety during Bill's matches. “Be careful, son, don’t get hurt,” he t-lls him between rounds. sStribling loves any kind of a com- petition and hates to lose a game or an argument. He plays cards, checkers, dominoes, and with nothing at all at stake, perspires as though he were carrying brick. He argus over every point. His father, head of the acrobatic troupe in which Bill got his develop- ment, believes it is unlucky to pass beggars, whistle in a dressing room, and two accidents will follow the firs fore the charm is broken. Bill isn't superstitious, but he had “Pa” worn out before big fights threatening to violate the supernatural. Light_clothes and bright colors in- trigue him and h:> hates blue serge suits because his mother clothed him in so many of them when he was young. He is almost violent in his likes and dislikes and speaks his mind freely and forcefully. He plays roughly with_ his friends and family, but thos: he dislikes are left strictly alone and arz expected to fight shy of him. Defends His Friends. He'll cock a fist if a slighting refer- ence is mad: about a friend. He is abrupt, often undiplomatic, but mild mannered and hard to arouse to anger. He has the memory of an elephant when slighted. One of Stribling’s keenest disappoint- ments was his parents' refusal to let him play foot ball when he was a boy because the game was too rough. All that brawling over a foot ball is his idea of a perfect way to spend an afternoon. He plays basket ball al- most as well as a professional, but there are too many rules. His big weakness is ice cream. He fills up at least once a day and often tucks away a large portion of the con- fection before he goes into the ring. He likes war stories, but doesn't care for_movies unless they are thrillers. He shoots a gun, steers his plane and mans a cue stick all with his left hand. He writes and knocks fighters out with his right. He loves to visit with friends, hunt with them and take them flying. Most of them prefer to stay on_the ground. Next Winter he intends to try speed- boat racing. He'd like to build a racer after he gets the hang of it that could crack the late Sir Henry Segrave's 98- mile-an-hour record.
