It'll be Sharkey's left jab against
my left hook-and I'm confident
that the old hook will triumph.
There's an element of luck in

everything else in life. II I get a

first-class opening, or the chance
to slug it with Sharkey in that
session. then may be able to start
Sharkey down and out right there.
But if can't get the opening I
want, I'm not going to fight a wild
or foolish fight. I'll exercise a little
patience. Sooner or later the chance
will be mine TO rip left hooks into
Sharkey's liver. and perhaps plant
a few right-handers around his
heart.
Then. and only then, will 1 let

In my training days I proved to

AS far as Sharkey is concerned,
the thing is closed incident.
No hard feelings, you understand;
in fact he likes Dempsey as a man
but that man happens to be in the
way of his ambition and Sharkey
is not one to tolerate anything like
that.

 Penn alone failed to measure up as a contender in the overnight sum-

 that much to go on.
 The air of uncertainty was re- fected today among the coaches as we'll as in wagering on the out come of the big race. The six year span. in which either the Navy or Washington. or both, have virtually spread-eagled the field. was figured by many as likely to topple back
 under the impact which already has seen Washington's streak of victor ies on the Pacific coast snapped and Yale's long winning stretch ended
