Buff, fighting Jersey midget. will de-
fend the worlds bantamweight cham
pionship tonight against Jack Shar.
key.
The bout Will be Bluffs first in
defense Of the title he won from
Pete Herman seven weeks ago. 1t
is scheduled to go fifteen rounds 10
a decision and the little old man OF
the ring will have plenty of opportu-
ity TO show whether or not he 10 u
worthy champion.
Buff, who holds the American Ty-
weight championship as well as the
bantam crown is a type Of fighter
seldom developed these days.
Having won the bantam title from
Herman on q decision in fifteen
rounds, Buff realizes that he may
lose Il the same way and he expects
to demonstrate that he is a regular
champion by putting Sharkey away
within the limit.
Sharkey is doing a comeback. 1t
was not long ago that the little
Italian fighter ranked with the best
ban Nuns in the business. He became
a big card when he defeated Jimmy
Wilde and fought a slashing draw
with Joe Lynch before Lynch won
Nthe championship. Then he started
to 20 back. He slipped from the
spotlight and for a time laid off
fighting altogether. Now he is back
once again, clamoring for recogni.
ton and tonight he will get what
may he his last chance to land the
coveted championship.
Meanwhile, Pete Herman has
started another climb toward the top.
The New Orleans lad will open his
campaign next Saturday night in
Brooklyn where he meets Roy Moore,

The eyes of the football world will
doubtless be centered on the Penn

other one conflict. There are two
reasons for this, one on account of
the Navy completely outclassing
Princeton n few weeks ago, and the
other 4 question as to whether or not

is. "Will the boys be able TO come

will be a welcome one.
Penn State will be without the
services of Captain Smell at fullback.
and II is possible that McCollurn, star
wingman of the Georgia Teca game,
may not be able to go through the
entire Navy contest. Otherwise. the
team will line up as usual.
The squad leaves tonight for Phil
adelphia after short workout.
Scores OF students left today to hike
to Franklin Field, and others will
leave tomorrow morning. More than
10000 tickets have been sold to Penn
State followers. The student band
of slxty-five pieces will attend the
game.
