TOM GIBBONS WILL
FACE REAL HEAVY
st. Paul Boxer Starts Campaign
Aimed at Worlds Great
est H0norS.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23-Tommy Glib
bons. who seeks laurels in the heavy
weight division, will start an active
campaign next month.
The st. Paul scrapper, unable to find
opponents in the middleweight ranks
any longer, has been matched with
Charley Weinert. Gibbons and Vein
ert will get together in this city on
March in a fifteen-round bout to a
decision. In view of the fact that
Weinert has recently launched a cam
paign to come back" as a heavy
weight contender and Gibbons has
just Topped into the heavyweight
ranks this bout should be of interest.
Gibbons is ready now to start his
climb up the heavyweight ladder"
said Eddie Kane, manager of the st.
Paul boy, today. "He has outgrown
the middleweight class and can no
longer find suitable opponents enough
to keep him busy.
Tom weighs I75 pounds and he is
better at this weight than he ever was
as a middleweight. He has developed
a punch, too, and is just as fast as
ever. despite more poundage."
The Weinert bout will not be Glib
bons's first against a heavyweight, as
he has already disposed of several big
fellows, giving away poundage. With
the Weinert bout as a starter Gibbons
hopes to battle his way up the ladder,
and Is after all the good ones. He
ranks as the fastest and cleverest
boxer of his weight in the business
today, and his invasion of the heavy
class is bound to stir up interest.

HILLTOPPERS COUNTING
VICTORY OVER PITT MEN

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. 23.-
Georgetown University basketcrs left
here today with a count of 81 to 81
against them in playing Pittsburgh
last night. The Hilltoppers count the
game a virtual victory, as Pitt was
played on its own floor and just man
aged to win when Jordan looped one
in the air as the whistle blew.
The shot entered the basket and the
referee counted the two points neces-
sary to win, the game being con-
cluded in spectacular manner.
Twenty fouls were called on Pitt
and twenty-five on Georgetown. The
free tossing OF Flavin resulted In
fourteen points. while Jordan got the
same number for Pitt.
Florence led both teams In shoot
ing, getting f1ve from the floor. II
was the frst defeat in twelve starts
for the Georgetown lads. who showed
their disappointment in no uncertain

disgusted with the manner in which
yesterdays game at the Navy was
officiated and maintain the academy
shooters in winning by 43 to 8 were
very ably assisted by officials who
failed to see any penalties committed
by the Navy men.
The Hatchetites were awarded a
free toss on a Navy penalty just
fourteen minutes after the FIRST half
started. In the meantime Navy was
allowed to get a flying start which 1t
maintained throughout tho game.
There was no comparison of the
teams after the Navy got going. G.

ing having two shots to one for the
Navy during the first ten minutes of
play.
Mckee, the star Navy forward, was
held out of the running on account
OF bad shoulder. Ault, Byerly. Wat

With Business yet to play and an

ketball championship today.

to be sure, but Techs defense was
always good and Eastern found dif-
ficulty in caging baskets.
The Manual Trainers have beaten
Eastern twice. Western, once. Cen
trail twice, and Business once. The
recent defeat of Western by the East
erners threw the Red and White
lads out of the going.
The best Western can possibly get
out of the title series is a win over
Central and a loss by Tech of the
Business game. This state Of sffairs
would result in a tie for the title,
but Tech is counting the honor al
ready won as Business is not expected
to prove troublesome.
Friday Central and Western and
Business and Tech wind UP the titular
series.
In concluding the series Eastern is
content to call 1t a successful floor
season with a double win ovre Cen
trail, single win over Western and
a win over Business recorded.

should Cleveland repeat simply be-
cause IT won last season? Why
should New York be a favorite simply

HOW ABOUT TUCKERf
President Griffith's admission that
he would like a third baseman leads
one to chatter a moment or so about
young Oliver Tucker from Radiance,
Va.
Tucker is a mere lad, but he's a
whale of a lad, standing about $40
and tipping the scales around 1856
when in condition. He has been play
ing with one of those fresh water col
leges down in Virginia for a couple of
seasons. pitching, playing the out
field and filling in at infield Jobs.
Right now he doesn't know whether
he's pitcher, an outelder or an in
elder But he doesn't want to pitch,
mark that, he doesn't want to pitch.
II have pitched some one-hit and
two-hit games" says Tucker, but I
am afraid 1t will hurt my arm"
In an industrial circuit in Virginia
last season this green kid hit up
around 400 without getting a swelled
head, which is saying a whole lot. II
he can hit anywhere near that at
Tampa, and looks as IL he might know
how to pick up a ground ball and do
something with II besides throw IL out
to center field, Tucker may find him
self working at third base.
He may not stay there long, of
course, but instead of battling Sam
Rice for a berth, this rookie may be
battling Frank Ellerbe and Hank
Shanks for an infield job.
The point Is that George Mcbride Is
not going to waste this kid. He is
not going to let him rust on the bench
at Tampa. He is going to see Just
what he can do. It's a cinch right
now that Tucker himself doesn't know
where he can do his best work. The
judge OF his abilities will be a wise
old head with years OF experience
around the major leagues-Georss
McBride--who is to be feted tomor-
row night at the Wardman Park
Hotel. Tucker never fell into greater
luck in his life than when he signed
n Washington contract for a trial at
Tampa. II may be the making of the
lad from Radiance, Va.
