MRS. GUY u. PURDY of Omaha,

with one heart, a sound four-card

Mrs. Purdy, West, passed. White

for his partners heart, also passed.
Human. East, doubled informator-

other than the heart suit adversely
bid, Human was prepared to leave
in and possibly to assist any re-

Work passed, and Mrs. Purdy an
swered her partners double with
two clubs, which, under the circum-
stances, was her only bid, Holding
four cards in hearts and four in
clubs, she naturally would have re-

All passed the tWo-club bid; there

Whitehead, North, opened the
play with the jack of hearts, the
highest of his three cards of his
partners suit. Human, East, spread
his hand Tor Dummy, and Mrs.
Purdy played from it the 2 of
hearts. Work, South, played the
9; Mrs. Purdy, West, the 8.
Whitehead continued with the 6

the lowest of the three held orig

Work the queen; Declarer the 8.

Sweep Of Five California
Games.

Provo. Utah, Jan. observation-disclosures

basketball rooters hopes for q Rocky

for the Cougar hoopsters.
On q recent California trip the
Young team made clean sweep Of
the five games played. besides having
whipped the strong North Dakota uni
versity team in two Of three games
earlier in the season. Its latest
triumph was the humbling of the
strong Phillips university quintet Of
Enid, Okla, and the University OF
Utah five In two games.
Coach OFT Romney, coming to B.
Y. U. from Montana State, has fallen
heir to an unusually strong lineup. He
has changed the style of play. how
ever, substituting system of feinting,
long, hard passing and sprinting for
passes. in sharp contrast to the more
orthodox style formerly in vogue
here.
The Cougar team is we'll balanced
machine. Brindlcy. Howe and Dixon
at forward provide high powered
scoring punch. Although Dixon never
has played at this position before this
year, his unusual speed makes him q
valuable man for Romney's style Of
play. II
Cooper and Magleby are 4 par Of
rare guards. Magleby is one Of the
most versatile men on the team, while
Cooper Is an exceptionally skillful

Sharkey Wins Decision From Kaye
Boston Sailor Takes Seven
Rounds; Christner Takes
Three; Fight Was Strange:
Akron Rubber Man Never
Outclassed and Jack Is Booed

New York. Jan. 26.-(F-Jack shar.
| key now can keep that 100000 date
with Young 5tribling in Miami Beach
next month.
The Boston sailorman outpointetl
K. Q. Christner. tough. willing battler'
from Akron. O., In q fierce 1O-round
encounter In Madison Square Garden
last night, and thereby cleared the
way for his big shot against strtbling
Feb. ~.
sharkey's margin OF victory was
convincingly decisive, but Christner
never was outclassed.
Fought Strange Fight
6harkey fought one Of the strangest
fights Of his cratic careers curious
combination Of willy caution and wild,
reckless berserk rage. The Akron
rubber worker was outclassed % far !,
as boxing skill and all-around ring
class was concerned, but aharkey time
after time was brought up stort,
momentarily stunned. % Christner
connected with the chin with one Of
his right-hand punches.
These Earring rights landed infre.
Quently, but when they did Sharkey
was glad enough to hang on. With
even q little boxing skill, It Is con-
ceivable that the Akron battler could
have put over a finishing blow.
Meanwhile Sharkey pumped q
steady stream Of lefts and rights into
Christner's head and body. Eternally.
though, the midwesterner plunged In,
his deadly right q never-ending
threat.
Carrying the fight to his foe,
Christner more than held his own
during the first six rounds. Each
tim, the Boston sailor seemed to be
finding himself, right bounced off
his chin and stopped him short.
Weak After Sixth
After the sixth the steady batterin1
he had been subjected to began to
take its toll. That steady fire of
short, jolting punches to the body
slowed him up. He tired badly In the
last four rounds, and Sharkey, throw
ing caution to the winds, elected to
trade punches. So tired was Christ
ner that even II an opportunity for q
Knockout punch had presented itself
it is doubtful whether he could have
taken advantage of it. The end found
him standing up gamely under 4
whitening fire from Sharkey's left ana
right hands.
Although ringside experts were in
entire accord with the decision In
Sharkey's favor, the nearly 10000
wildly excited fans booed Sharkey
Justify as he left the ring. But Shar-
key Is used to having his opponents
get all the cheers.
Although the bout was holly con-
tested all the way, neither boxer suf-
fered much damage. There were no
knockdowns, but round after round
found either or both apparently on
the verge of going down.
The Associated Press score card
gave Sharkey seven rounds and
Christner three. The weights were:
1885,, Christner 1913.
