European Fighter 3
Pounds Lighter in
Weight

BUENOS AIRES, Mar. s.-Con.
siderable prestige among his eoun-
trymen was lost by Luis Angel Fir
pc. South American heavyweight
champion, last night when it took
him IA rounds to stop Erminio Spal-
Ia, European champion.
Critics who saw the uneven con-
test expressed the opinion today
that Firpo had either lost the power
in his famous right hand or that
Spalla is one OF the eleverest dod.
gers in the ring.
Spectators were amazed when
Spalla, 35 pounds lighter, went
round after round with Firpo. Spal-
Ia completely outboxed Fir'p o
throughout but he was struck so
many times that he certainly would
have lost the decision if the fight
had gone one more round to the
limit.
In the eleventh round Spalla stag
gered Firpo with right to the Jaw.
Firpo slipped as he charged and
they both fell to the floor with
Firpo on the bottom.
Firpo's weight was announced as
218 pounds but he seemed much
heavier. Spalla weight was Civ
en- as 1874 and he looked lighter.

Lawson Robertson, University Of

TODAY EXPECTED
TO SET RECORDS
by United Press Lcnsed wire

Los ANGELES, March S.-While
the University of Southern Califor-
MIA track team is expected to take
the meet with Occidental College
this afternoon without spraining
any ankles Or running any reputa-
tions, there is considerable in the
event because of several stars en-
tered.
In several events, it, is expected
records will be broken, therein ly-
ing the only importance of the meet.
Some of the events and men worth
watching are:
Mile run, in which is entered Nick
Carter, tiger athlete of dime novel
fame. Carter, who competes with
Mike Elwood in this race, has the
time Of four minutes, 90 215 seconds
TO his credit.
In the half-mile, it appears cer-
tain that the winner will have to
make under two minutes flat. Phil
Ellsworth, Occidental, and Percy
Niorsbach, both have aspirations to
be the best halfmilers in South
ern California, ana today viii settle
the row. '
Thurmond Clarke, U. S. c., and
Tony Spangler, Occidental, and
formerly of Santa Ana high school,
ought to provide neck-toneck
race i'll the quarter mile. Clarke is
a former Stanford runner, but
Spa ngler is in excellent condition.
In the dashes, Yale Martz, Tro-
jan, and Cliff Argue, Occidental,
both Of whom Charley Paddock saws
have q chance for the Olympic team,
will be seen. Something below 10
flat ought to develop in the 100.
Outside Of these events it ism t
likely much worth mentioning will
take place.
