 GERMAN THURSDAY
Uzcudun and Schmeline Head
 Fight Program for Week

weights in general and Pauline Ezcudun and Max ,schmeling more particularly. will monopoIize virtual ly all of the nations fistic stage this week.
 The so-called German Dempsey" and the Spanish woodchopper clash over the 15-round route at the Yam kee stadium on Thursday in one of the years most important bouts. 4 Some of the more optimistic of fans believe that out of the bout will come the next occupant of the heavyweight throne vacated by Gene Tunney, these would-be seers are passing their belief on the theory that schmeling will win .decisively. The Teuton sharp-shooter certainly has done everything that could be asked of him in his few appearances in America and a triumph over Paulino undoubtedly would boost him into the same class as Jack Sharkey and Jack Dempsey, the two leading con- tenders for the crown.
 But the catch in all this is tue iron-chinned Pauline. The Basque has fought them all and never been dropped. He has lost a few decisions here and there in majority of his appearances he has been the win- ner. There is considerable doubt in the minds of some experts whether Schmeling's right hand can halt the ever-crowding woodchopper and whether the Teuton can withstand Paulino's body attack.
 The Pauline Schmeling battle tops a 45-round card at the annual milk fund charity ring carnival. Otto Von Porat. bone-crashing Norwegian puncher, meets K. o. Christner of Akron, O., another heavyweight slugger. in the ten round semi-f1nal.
