AUBURN QUINTET TUNNEY REGATNS
TAKES THRILLER TITLE HE LOST
FROM TECH, 1926 TO HARRY GREB

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Jean Tun-
ney, Idol of Greenwich Village, re-
gained the American 1ight-heavy-
weight championship tonight. when
he gained the Judges decision over
Harry Greb of Pittsburg, the title
holder, in a 15-round contest at Mad
ison Square Garden tonight
Referee Patsy Haley declared that
Greb's faulty tactics. including hold
ing and butting influenced his YER
dict which he and the judges gave
to Tunney despite the Pittsburgers'
apparent margin on points.
Il warned Greb repeatedly after
the first round" declared Haley, and
then intended t. disqualify him in
the twelfth round after he had ig-
nored my repeated admonitions."
"Greb's blows did not hurt me at
any time and think l proved my
ability to stop his style of attack, 81
the new champion said. IN his dress
ing room. "Greb's holding handi-
capped me some but he didn't gain
much by his tactics. l was forced tQ
complain to Referee Haley frequently
but his warnings seemed to have lit
tie effect"
Downcast by his defeat, Greb was
vehement in his criticism of the de-
cision and declared that he did not
feel that he had been given fair
treatment. He denied that he fouled
his opponent and asserted that Tun-
ney appeared more anxious to hold
and clinch than he did.
While Greb landed at least three
blows to one for his rival, few of
them did much damage. Tunney's
body attack, especially in the four
teerth round at times checked Greb's
rushes but the pittsburger blocked
most of the New Workers. blows.
Tactics used by Greb, which his OPP
ponent's handlers claim were unfair.
were the subject of a long parley at
the start of the bout. Referee Patsy
Haley was vigorous in warning Greb
for holding in several rounds
The only round which Tunney
earned decisively, in the opinion of
ringside critics, was the f urteenth.
He showed aggressiveness in the
fourth, tenth and fifteenth, but eH
cept in these and two or three rounds
in the early part of the bout, which
were classed as even, Greb's forcing
tactics gave him a substantial mar
sin on points in the remaining
rounds
Tunney's victory restored to him
the crown he lost to Greb in a 10
round bout at the garden last May.

Old Bill Sanderson was an inveter-

hunter. in this respect quite unlike
his otherwise congenial pal, Jake.
'HuhH Jake would growl. Grown

This challenge was so often re-
peated that Jake finally accepted it.
Before starting Bill undertook to ex-
pound the huntsman's code as he saw
it, putting great stress upon the
theorem that If the sportsman played
according to rules, the advantage was
sure to he on the side of the bird.
Bill was leading the way toward a
likely spot, giving due consideration
to the. WIND and its direction, when
Jake, totally Obvious of these ele-

pheasant scuttling along through a
hedge. Instantly he brought his gun
into position. and was taking aim.

weapon upward.

CHAMPIONSHIP OF
CITY HIGH SCHOOL
STILL UNDECIDED
Central Wins Over WoodIaWn
in Rather Exciting
Contest

The city high school championship
was tied hard and fast Friday night
at the B. A. C. when Central High
won from Woodlawn High, 23 to IA.
Superior passing by Central in the
second half spelled defeat for Wood
lawn.
The city high school title is now
as uncertain as 1t was at the first
of the season and will probably re-
main SO on account of the proximity
of the close of the basketball sea-
son. Homer Thomas, in charge of
city high school athletics, said the
title would probably not be settled.
Ensley, Central and Woodlawn have
won and lost two games each.
Although Central displayed great
pass work throughout the game Fri
day night, it was more evident in
the last half when they passed
around the Woodlawn players for
many chances. WOODLANDS passing
was off in the second half and free
chances at field goals were missed
repeatedly.
Young and Jaffe were the offens-
i've stars of the game. This pair
counted four field goals each ana
played a great floor game. Holder,
ct guard, was a big cog in the Cen
trail machine.
Field goals were we'll distributed
on the Woodlawn team. The four
field goals of the game for Wood
lawn were divided among r. Moore,
L. Sellers, Allen Moore and Ban
croft Burns played a good game for
the losers at center, while the great

seven chances in the first half but
missed all of three chances in the last
half. The Woodlawn team was
weakened when it lost Allen Moore
on four personal fouls. He shot the

This is the score of the most thrill

Auburn had journeyed to the Tech
