Wants Him To Become
World Champion, Then
Go To College

w YORK, March 29.-Mrs. Will
Ham (Ma) stribling has it all figured
out. Her son, Billy, the 1s-year-old
Georgia schoolboy, who came into
prominence last October when he near
ly became light-heavyweight champion
of the world, must go to college and
marry an old-fashioned girl.
But before he completes his educa-
ton and settles down he must satisfy
the wishes Of his parents. They want
him to be the champion fighter of the
world, heavyweight, light-heavyweight
and any old weight. He'll get his
chance Monday night in the light
heavyweight class when he meets Mike
McTigue, holder OF the title, in Newark.
He's going to win that, according to
Ma and Pa Stribling, his managers and
trainers. Then, Pa and Ma said yes
terday, he'll take on weight enough to
fight Dempsey for the heavyweight
crown, and he can go to college IL he
wins. II confidence counts for any
thing, Young Billy will win that bout.
Born to BE Fighter
Seated on a sofa in their suite in the
st. Francis hotel, Newark, Ma Strib-
ling, who, unlike most women, was not
at all flattered when a reporter told
her she looked young enough to be a
sister Of the young fighter instead of
his mother, said 1t was settled before
he was born that they would make a
boxer Of him.
