IA OST of the experts among
nH the sports writing frater-
WI nifty have figured out that
L i Jack Sharkey ought to
coast to a win over K, o.
Christner in New York tonight.
They cite the fact that, after all,
the Akron rubber worker possesses
nothing except gameness, toughness
and a wallop, and these qualities
can be found in almost any rough
and-tumble fighter.
1t is further pointed out that
Christner is 35, has been fighting
only year and never has met any
one with claim to any class with
the possible exception of Knute
Hansen, whom he stopped with a
right to the jaw, whereas Sharkey
is but 26, has been in the ring five
years and has benefited by the ex-
perience gained through contact
with such worthless as Jack Demp-
sey. George Godfrey, Harry Wills,
Tom Heeney. Johnny Risko and Jim
Maloney.
HoWeUer. in explanation OF the
fact that they say Sharkey ought to
1otn, instead OF predicting that he
WiH, they are pretty generally agreed
ChT1Stner should be accorded an out
side chance for Uictory because the
record Shot0S Shdrkey has Topped so
many times ,0Ien he figured to
triumph deciSiUely.
Most of those who saw his battle
at the Yankee Stadium agree Shar-
key should have kayOed DEMPSEY
after the manner in which he had
the Manassa Mauler staggering at
the start through use of his sumo
riOr boxing ability. But he ulti-
mately took the count himself be-
cause he elected to try and play
Dempsey's game and slug.
Attention also is directed to the
fact that although he should have
cut Mike McTigue to ribbons in a
few rounds, Sharkey eventually won
only because the Irishman's cut eye
moved the referee to stop the
match. and that although Heeney
and Risko were regarded as made
to order for him, Sharkey was held
even by the Hard Rock and licked
by Johnny.
Shdrkey always can be depended
upon to do the tDrong thing, is the
lgay one OF the Scribes puts it. If
the Lithuanian runs true to form in
this respect tonight he will essay to
trade socks NTH Christner, in Which
case hurried revision of plans for
that Miami. Beach bout merit month
may be in order.

good exhibition and should be given full
credit for it. Rehkopf and Watkins
led the attack of Georgetown Prep,
which was in the van all the way, while
Rovey and Zahn did most of Eastern S
scoring,
Paul Hoddinott and Charlie Proctor,
scoring IA and II points, respectively,
were the big guns for Ben Franklin in
its victory over StrayerS. Gardner was
high scorer for the losers, with an even
dozen points. After piling up big
early lead Ben Franklin inserted sew
eral substitutes, but had to send in the
regulars again later when Strayers
threatened.
Emerson in routing Augusta chalked
up its second win in as many starts on
its Southern invasion. BuScher and
Galotta again were leaders on attack
for Emerson, which outclassed the home
quint all the way. Buscher whipped
the cords for II points. while Galotta
registered a half dozen goals from
scrimmage.
NJ. Lodge did most of the scoring for
Briarley Hall Juniors in their triumph
over PooleSville High Juniors. Getting
an early lead, the winners kept in front
throughout.
Because Of knee injury sustained
In the Tech game Tuesday, Bernard
Phillips, Eastern center, will be out of
the game for the remainder of the sea-
son. Joe Robey probably will hold down
the pivot post for the Lincoln Parkers
most of the time from now on.
Eastern may enter the Penn tourna-
ment should it do we'll in remaining
games. The Light Blue and White last
appeared in this affair in 1926.
1t is not thought likely that Central,
which generally enters the big Penn
tests, will do SO this year unless the CO.
lumbia Heights boys do better in their
remaining tests.
