Young Stribling to Defend His Title
 Here Against Blanque February 13
Dixie Lightweight Champion to Meet Hitting New Orleans Tar in Local Ring Week From
 Monday Night

Young Suibling, southern light weight champion, defends his title here a week from tomorrow night. on February 3, when he meets Sailor Blanque, of New Orleans, |. in the Athletic club arena. Blanque, who is one of the hardest hitting light weights in Dixie, should make q good match for Stribling. and local fandom will probably have an opportunity of witnessing one of the niftiest scraps in Dixie boxing circles next week.
 Stribling's second bout here staged at the B. A. C. about two weeks ago, was with Freddie Boerde the lighter local lad getting draw with the champ. Many fans decided at the Stribling- Boorde battle that the first hard hitting scrapper of Strips weight to meet the champ would stand a good chance of uncrowning the Macon lad. Blanque may be picked by fandom as the fsvorite this week.
 EVENLY MATCHED.
 stribling weighs a little over 141 pounds. while Blandue weighs in at about 142. These scrappers should be as evenly matched as any two battlers to appear at the B. A. c. in several months.
 Sailor Blanque is veteran ring man, and has stood up to such bat

Central Easily Wins From Wetumpka
 CageSterS

Central High school cage warriors swept over wetumpka quiet yes terday sfternon OF the B. A. C. court. 3s to 1s, in 1istless game. The Central five had the Wetumpka outfit clearly outelessed from the start of the game.
 The Wetumpka team was very light and were unable to hold their heavier opponents down with any le- gree of consistency after the first few minutes. Central started off the score column in the first two min utes when she rang two baskets.
 The Central five worked together well. but were not forced to extend themselves after the opening min utes. The entire varsity five was taken out. and the second istringers sent in two minutes before the game ended
 The game was replete with fou,s although Wetumpka made only one personal. However, the visitors seemed to want to run with the bail and were penalized on many oe- casions. Central had several per sonals called
 For Central, the stars were Cook and Tom Anderson. Anderson ran thefloor well and shot five goals, while Cook tallied r times. Livery was the outstanding player for the agricultural schoolers. Lineup:
 Central (3s): Byrd CD and Ander- son (10) forwards; Cook CID, cen- ter; McRoberts (4) and Holder CD, guards. Substitutions. Moore for Byrd. Sellers 60 for Anderson, An derson for Cook, Jsffe for McRoberts. Mills for Holder.

N0TRE DAME ATHLETIC
 OFFICIAL OUTLINES A DEFENSE AGAINST PROS
Ry AssOcIated I'r~ss


 South Bend, Ind, February 4.- Father William Carey, chairman Of the athletic board at Notre Dame University, which recently felt the full effect /of the football scandal. in a statement tonight declared the only salvation of colleges is 10 meet the threat of professional football fairly and squarely@ and outlined drastic measures to combat the in- roads he said professionalism is mak ing into collegiate sports.
 Father Carey asserted that the chief reason professionalism has gained a foothold is that the high school and college lads realize il is easy to get away with" He urged that it be made so hard to get away with that there would be virtually no infrngements.
 Father Carey's suggestions for making professionalism hard to get away with included;
 l. Organizations with alumni and letter men to combat professionalism
 9 Pledges from svery graduating athlete not to play in pro games In which men still in college are used. Withdraw letter privileges from vio lators of this rule.
 3. Pledge each man in college eli gble to athletics not to play profes- sional games while in college. Dis honorably, expel violstors.
 4. Publish each fall the name. home town and high school of each hign school athletic prospect entering col lege
 g. Disqualify men playing contests after leaving high school and before entering college.
 g. Remove the belief that i, is un- friendly for one college to notify an other of rumors concerning it's play CTS.
 Notre Danes investig gation into the football scandal which dsoualified eight of it's players and nine from the University of Illinois proved that emissaries from promoters frequent ly visit universities and tempt their athletic stars, even hockey players being offered inducements to vio- late college regulations. Father Carey said
 The investigation also showed they were go-between on some football squads. who tempted the players he said. adding that wholesale clean UP might deal severe blow to pros poets for the immediate future, as it did al Notre Dame. but in the end would purify athletics and clea3 leans can he just as strong as those which are not

Tendler's Manager Wants e Title Bout For His Charge

enough solace for him under those circumstances
 Not One Peek
 T never would have gathered in Leonard's forfeit of 5000 if he had been sportsmanlke enough and come to Philadelphia and exhibited he broken hand which he claimed he had-or if he had been willing to dis play it m New York before Tendlers eyes and mine But Leonard care fully and consistently ignored my re- quests 10 see the broken thumb.
 q am not saying that Leonard s hand wasn't broken or severely in iured. But.l do say that Leonard never would permit Tender or n.y. self To get look at 1t. lie insisted that we had To take hisi word for t that the hand was not in fighting shape. Therefore, l dragged down that s5,00O forfeit money and Tender is going to hang onto it until Leol- ard gives him match
 Willing to Compromise
 Right here and now 1 will make the promise to Leonard that if he gives Fender a match in a decision bout l will give back to him the 50 000 which we took down in forfeit money Could anything be fairer than that If Leonard thinks that Tender is not his master and that Tender will be nothing but punch ing bag for him, as he has intimated, then Leonard is in for something very soft. For, in addition to getting a good purse and knocking the tar out of Tender as Leonard certainly figures he will do-Benny also fig ures he will get s5.0o0 from Tender What could be sweeter?
 So all that remains now is for Leonard to step forward sign the articles meet Tender. get the money ~-and then we'll see what we'll see.
 My prediction is that if the boys ever get together we'll see the crown ing of new lghtweight champion of the Morld.n

 Any time that Benny Leonard screws up courage sufficiently to tackle Lew Tender he will be gieen 5000 in addition to the purse which the promoter hands him" promises Phil Glassman, the Quaker City man aser of the southpaw lightweight
 Tt will be the same 5000 which Lew took as forfeit money when Leonard failed to go through wl:h the battle arranged with Tender last summer.
 Ever since that time Leonard has been yelling to the heavens over the unsportsmanlike conduct of Tender in taking down the S5,0Oo forfeit. l don't think that anybody who IS fair minded can look at it from the Leonard viewpoint. Although Leonard and Tender put up S5000 on the sole condition that if one or the other called off the match, the other fel- low was to gather in the forfeit
 Benny Called it off
 'leonard called off the match and Tendler took the forfeit What was there wrong about that If Leonard didn't mean that the s5,OOO should so up as real forfeit money, why dId he post it? He has no squawk com Ing, but he has zeem squawking largely with the idea, l imagine, of making il sound as an alibi for not giving Tender crack at him.
 The failure of Leonard to go through with that match, owing to an injury which he claims was sustained in sparring work, was a>tough break for Tender. He lost not only the money that he would have gathered in IS his end of the purse. but also . crack at the championship Of the world. Certainly $5.O00 is a small

tiers as Burlington, Avera. Abel and Mckinney He is d hard hitter, and has lots of speed and science in addi tion. His ring experience should come in handy in his bout with Strib- ling.
 Young Striblng, since he took up boxing. has been growing steadily, and from the bs,~.sms he has ad- vanced 10 lightweight and even wei terweight boxing. His bout with Blanque will be his first battle with a welter of class, and fandom all over Dixie will be watching the outcome oi this struggle between youth and eX- perience.
 sTRIBLING'S EQUAL.
 The match next Monday night will give fandom an oportunity it has long craved, that of seeing Young Strbling in action against a battler his equal. Strib has fought many battles but few hard battles are found listed in his record. Freddie Boorde is LOG light for Stribling, while other ring men the Macon lad has met are not his equal in skill and punching power Blanque, however, should be able to match everything Stribling has, and the battle should be 8 corker.
 Claude Wilson, Birmingham popu- lar bantam, will probably appear in the semi final.
