Shelby, Mont,, June 23.—~Tommy Gibbons, who fights Jack Dempsey on July 4 in this western boom-town has been a ring fighter for 11 years, but it wasn't till the last four years of his career that he developed into a4 knockout fighter, And there you have a startling parallel to the case of Eugene Criqui, the doughy little Frenchman who staged the greatest fistic upset of many moons when he knocked Johnny Kilbane cold in the arena at the New York Polo Grounds and grabbed off the world's feather. welght crown. For this Criqui, like Gibbons, had been a fighter for many years before he developed into a knockout punch- er. Criqui had been merely a tap-| per who outpointed his man until the last two years of his ring career. Then he suddenly broke forth with| a hay-making wallop that left a trail| of victims helpless on the canvas. Criqui's string of kayoes is hardly Yale’s Powerful C Blue Leads Rivals by Fully Six Lengths—Made Clean Sweep of All Contests This Year. 8weeping to rowing glory that it has not known for nearly a décade, Yale's powerful varsity crew capped the climax of a remarkable comeback | | this season under American home-bred coaching methods, with a smashing, spectacular victory over Harvard last evening. J | Six Lengths in Lead Flashing across the finish line fully six lengths ahead of a gallant but | badly beaten Crimson eight, the Blue | |shell closed its 1923 season undefeated | |and gave the Elis their first clean | sweep since 1915 in the annual rowing | |struggle with their ancient rivals, In the morning the Yale freshmen and juntor varsity eights added thelr | {measure to the Blue tinge of lrlumphv (that settled over the 56th annual re- | | zatta between the two universities. The Eli cubs sprang something of an Lpset by walking away from the Cambridge yearlings to win by five |lengths, while the New Haven junior led by Capt. B. B. Pelly, scor- el evel more decisively over the | Crimson second crew, leading the way | by five and a half lengths, | Yale, in its long and brilliant rdw- ing history has tasted many of the |sweets of triumph, but it is doubtful | whether even in the halcyon days of | Bob Cooke's coaching, the Bulldog {scored as decisively over its tradition- | |al foe as it did yesterday. IFor nearly two miles of the premier event of the regatta, the rival crews |raced practically neck and neck, with the blue-tipped oars holding a slight advantage, but as the halfway mark | was reached, Harvard's final, desper- ate bid for the lead failed and from | |that point on, it was a procession fnr" | Yale, The Crimeon gave its all in that | one thrilling challenge, but it was not | |zood enongh to match the rugged power of its opponent.

Harvard clung to a lead of a quar- ter of a length for several hundred |yards, Yale drew up to even terms | at the half inile, rowing a smooth 32 | stroke to the minute to the choppler | Crimson.

No Two Alike, Gibbons has fought 87 battles in| the last three years and has won all but four of them by the kayo route. Before that his sleep-wallops were only about six in all in elghl years in the ring. . 8o naturally the first question 1 put to Gibbons on landing here was how he accounted for the sudden blossoming out as a kayo battler, I had asked Criqui the same question | before this big battle in New York, | and he told me that it was because | he had learned the American system | of infighting and had copled the American fighters' style of putting the shoulder and body into his punches instead of merely tapping his rivals. With Gibbons the answer was dif- ferent, Said Tommy: “Until four vears ago I was fighting under the atyle and tem of another fighter, rew Races to PLAYERS ON HOSPITAL LIST.

I confirmed this by studylng Mike's fighting poses as shown in his pictures and I found that those poses didn't come natural to me. They were forced when I assumed them. “So I began to work out the blows that came natural to me. I had been told before that that I could 1“Doc” Klein to Be Guest At Banquet This Evening Dr. M. J.

I found that my left hand was the one with which I could do the most damage. I learned it was best to hold my right in reserve and use it for defepgive purposes and to finish up the job after my left got my rivals in distress. “And thus I developed the knock- out stuff.” The only times in the last three vears that Tommy has failed to knockout his rivals were two battles| with Billy Miske, who was in dis- tress on both occasions, one with Bartley Madden and his fight with Harry Greb in New York in the spring of 1922, the only engagement in Tommy's whole career in which he lost the decision, either by ref- aree's or newspaper verdicet.

'The New York commission will consider the matter at its next ineceting, Tuesday. The lLeonard-White match was called off after the champion received an injury to his mouth which kept him out of the ring for some time. Meanwhile, his manager, Billy Gibson, has matched him to meet Lew Tend- ler at the Yankee Stadium, July 23. White wants Leonard to box him first, Gibson claims that his charge's contract with White last October was revokable at the champion's pleasure, but the Chicagoan denies this state- ment.
