Mike Schreck and John Willie
have been matched for fight at
Colma Feb. 2. The match was de-
cided on Dec. % when it was found
impossible to match the Cincinnati
man with AL Kaufmna. Delaney
did not want Kaufman to fight for
a while, so the Colma people wired
for Willie.
Schreck and Willie have met be-
fore. On Sept. 5 at Salt Lake they
fought 10 rounds to three decisions.
According to the Cross Road record
the referee gave three unsatisfac-
tory decisions. The referee, after
giving the fight to Schreck, turned
around and called it a draw and
then changed his mind again and
gave the fight to Willie. He was
run out of the ring before he could
have time to change the decision
again.
That match plainly shows that
the two can put up good fight
Both Willie and Schreck have
long lists of battles to their credit.
