LOUCHRAN and
STRIBLINC in
HEAVY RANKS
Lighter But Fast and
Hard Punching Boys
Are Seen AS Posi-
BILE Champions
BY ALAN J. GOULD
ISOLATED Press Sports Editor

oPoAt0 ho'tt
NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-(Pg-It has
been demonstrated before that a
good light heavyweight, o reven a
first class middleweight such as Bob
Fitzsimmons was at one time, can
clean up the heavyweight division.
There Is a need for such cleaning
up as the campaign of 1929 IS about
to get under WY, and il would not
he surprising to see the task per-
formed by one or the other OF these
light heavyweight products-Tommy
L~oughran and W. l.. (Young) Strbi-
ling.
Speed and skill have been accom-
plishing as much as, II not consid-
erably more than, the old-fashioncd
sock in this heavyweight era. Lough-
ran and Stribling have both. A long
string OF k~nockouts is also produced
10 hallyhoo the so-called Striblinc
sock, but the Georgian has yet TO
demonstrate it, potency outside the
transforming circuit. Thirty knock
outs in some Sc fights sounds i'm
prcssiye enough until the list Of vic
Tins is scanned.
Stribling Willing
Yet there seems no doubt now TO
most critics that Stribling must DC
seriously reckoned tith as a con
tender for TunEey's vacated title
The Georgia acrobat has youth and
unusual endurance in his favor. And
il IL significant just now that he is
more willing TO mix with the top
notchers than they arc with him.
L~oughran's rise to the fistic
height frequently has been compared
with that OF Tunney. and with rea-
son. The broad-shouldered Philad1,-
phian Is not snowy but is an unusu-
ally effective workman, fast, ring
wise and a good body puncher "
Tunney's type. There Is another
parallel, for Loughran came back 70
win one of his greatest fights from
Leo Lomski. after being knocked
down and almost out. just as Tunney
was in his last battle with Jack
Dempsey.
Loughran. like Tunney. has had a
thorough schooling in light heavy
weight ranks, displaying a willing
ness to fight all Corners.
Light Heavies Fail
Loughran and Stribling. filling
out ana lahIhk on weight 20 make the
heavyweight grade, have a much bet
ter chance against such full-flcdgcd
heavies as Sharkey, Risko. Pauline
and Maloney than other ~i75-pound-
ers who have essayed ring adven.
lures outside their class.
Few light heavies furnished more
exciting moments than Paul Berlen-
bach and Jack Delaney in recent
years, but neither was able 10 make
appreciable Roadway against the
bigger fellows. R~erlenbach Tough,
himself out in the lighter division.
when still n young man, while De.
laney either lacked the stamina ani
durability necessary to mix with tho
good big men or found his sharp
shooting ineffective against them.

The game-DePaul Academy Of
Chicago and Brownsville high school
on the local field tomorrow after
noon az 8 o'clock.
A game in which the eyes Of fans
all over the nation are turned. One
Of the biggest football contests ever
staged in Texas by high schools.
Our friend. Stockton Fountain, or
McAllen writes US as follows:
The football fans Of McAllen are
coming to Brownsville Friday to see
the Eagles add another victory 20
their long list. We still believe we
have the next to best team in the
country and Fridays game should
put Rio Grande Valley football on
the map.
That boy F~cssenden sure has a
real scrappy team-of the cleancst
type of sportsmanship-and we Of
the upper Valley are proud Of them.
It's a pleasure to see the machine
work OF the Eagles and we want lots
of touchdowns Friday"
Mr.. Fountain certainly strikes a
popular chord in his letter in regard
to the Valley rs a whole pulling for
the Eagles TO win. We may have
our difference Of opinions, a little
jealousy may crop out now and then,
n little animosity strcwn here and
there, among the fans and PLAYERS
