. TOO HIGH CLASS
FOR GUSRUHLIN
Continued from Page One.

In the first two rounds Rubin hit
cleaner than Jeffries and scored the most
blows, but they lacked the terrible pun
ishing power Of the champion. Jeffries
hardest blow was a short right to the
body, which the spectators could hardly
see, as il Travelled but a short distance
Behind it is Jeffries' tremendous strength
Of shoulder ana back, reinforced by his
tremendous weight. He times his blow to
a nicely, delivering II just an instant be-
fore a clinch and with his opponent COM
ing toward him. Human flesh cannot
withstand this, as it tears and rips like a
snel from one OF the Oregon's big guns
This is the blow which took all the fight
out Of Tom Sharkey.
