Auburn Marksmen Haue
 Completed Successful Yea,

The match against the United States Military Academy Is interest," ing in that the course fired by the army men consisted of the expert test, and while Auburn lost, the en- tire personn4, of the Auburn team fired above the expert qualification.
 The worst defeat of the season came at the ands of Cornell Uni versity. while the highest lead over any opponent was over the Univer- si-v of Chicago in which the local team led the northern team by more than 1900 points.
 Judging from the record made this season. it is believed that the Au- burnites take fourth placing with the other colleges of the United States if those with whom the Ala bamians have fired were reuresenta- tive of the leading United States colleges. The Auburn team has been outranked this season only by the University of Missouri. United States Military Academy and Cornell Uni- versity.

CREE CARPENTER BOUT IS
 TALK OF RING RANDOM NOW

But don't see how Carpenter could ever bring his right in the way Greo works. His method is all his own. Everything he does, wild as 1t looks, has been studied out and such blows as that dipping right of his, shaNe been invented by him for his own special brand of attack.
 "It would be great fight, greater than any that could be arranged. and would go. I think, to decision. Don think Greb can't hit. He can. If he sets himself he can wallop as hard as the best of them But he prefers to keep on the move every minute and have his blows sting and cut rather than crush"
 Five Blows Per Second
 OBrien added that Greb can hit five blows with his left in one second and as to that Gene Tunney will probably give confirmatory testi- mony
 That Greb is fearless is shown not only by his constant boring in attack, but his willingness to stand toe to toe with the big fellows and exchange wallops. One thing, how ever he would have to watch against. Carpenter would be throwing him- self off balance as he occasnally does when leaping into, the attack. It is rational to believe that Carpenter would hardly be so forbearing as Tunney was last Tuesday night, when he let two chances go by to put his right on Harry after he had slipped half to his knees.
 Rickard is right in his theory that the battle would be a great drawing card. Carpenters appearance alone would insure that. Tho arena on Boyle's 30 acres would probably be filleG 4nd the battlo would be worth all the money it would cost.

 Another good bout is in prospect in the three round return engage ment between Charles Lovingood and Big Boy Edwards the two heavies who staged an interesting bout at the B. A. c. short time ago.

Philadelphia Jack 0'Brien Says Harry Greb Would De- feat Carpenter at Own Game
By SPARROW M'GANN Correspondent of The Age Herald (Copyright, 1929, by The Ase-Herald)

Copyright, l9@S, by Ine A8c-hcfsA0J
 New York, May 27.-Chances of Harry Greb against Georges Carpen- tier are the chief topic of converse tion, argument and assertion among pugiiistic fanrs this weekend. There are all sorts of opinions about this bout, but no one has yet been found who won't admit that a battle be- tween the two would make the star battle of the decade.
 Both men employ a similar style of fighting-that is constant energy with air full of gloves. But where as Carpenter does not match Greb in the matter of bounding energy and. unceasing action, he is conceded to have 8 right hand walIop of deadly efficiency, such as the Pittsburg wildcat does not possess.
 Could Carpenter lay this smashing, disintegrating right upon Greb's chin, and thus flatten him for the count, as he has so many other fighters? Some say yes. others say no. One of the keenest judges of fighting in this country is Philadelphia Jack O'Brien. a great fighter himself at one time. and now engaged in the valuable occupation of teaching New York business men to be healthful and eff ficient through exercise.
 Greb Picked to Win
 Jack, who has watched Greb care fully, says that he will beat Carpen- tier. He says that Harry will fill the Frenchman as full of gloves as he has the rest, and that Carpenter will never get the opportunity to whip over his right with Knockout force.
 If he should" says O'Brien. sGreb would probably be knocked out. al- though he is very hard boy to hurt

Frankie Britt has been in Blrmins- ham several days now, coming down from Louisville with Red Herring, who scored a knock -out victory over Young Leonard of New Orleans i'll . two rounds at the Kentucky metro polls. Britt is a husky all right, if appearances count for anything. and fans have Red Herring's word for it that he can scrap.
 Red has been working out with Armstrong at the B. A. C. during the past weekend, and quite a few fans have dropped around to witness the Louisville lad in action. The gen eral verdict seems to be that Arm strong doesn't rely much on boxing ability. which he probably knows little about, but prefers to stand up and play the give-and-take game. Claude Wilson has always shown to good advantage against boys of this type, and ought to make good showing against the Louisville lad tomorrow night. Wilson will prob ably outweigh Armstrong about two pounds, as the visiting scrapper is an inch or so shorter than himself. Articles call for the two ringmen to weigh in at 115 ringside.
 Clnude in Shape
 Claude Wilson was hindered bit flhe first part of the past week by an enforced lay-off. occasioned by a bum foot. Doc Hanna, B. A. c. physi- elan, brought the injured trilby around all right, and Claude has got ten In some good work during the last few days His ring pilot, Tommy Tompkins. states that Claude will be in prime shape tomorrow night.
 Fans were considerably surprised at the husliness of young Wilson in his bout with Britt. Claude rushed from his corner at the first gong and started landing blows that re- sembled the well-known Dummy Harrington socks. Britt couldn't stand up under the swatting, and went down under hail storm or rights and 1efts.
 Claude Wilson has a host of friends In Birmingham, and all seem anxious to have the local lad come through with victory Monday night.
