Ell Centro showed superiority all

BEAR GRIDIRON
STAR TO SWAP
BLOWS TONIGHT

OAKLAND, March %. U.P)-
Rusty" Gill, one of the best full
backs the University of California
ever had, will step into anothsr
game tonight-alone. There won't
be 10 other men to help him when
he swaps punches with Wally Rusk,
former University of Nevada slug
ger.
Gill is entering the ring, he said,
to raise money to send him to law
school. He was confident he could
carry on both careers at the same
time.
Rusty" drew plenty of cheers
when he made smashing, brilliant
plays for the university. When he
did some job well, he got the credit.
When he missed tackle or failed
to gain yardage, there were plenty
of excuses for him.
Tonight, he will receive an ova-
ton if he puts Rusk out of the
way. If Rusk lands more punches
than he takes, "Rusty'' is very
likely to get the Bronx cheer, for
that is the habit of fight fans.
Very little is known of Gilrs
qualifications for the cauliflower in
dustry. He is a husky youth, and,
according to his trainers, packs a
wallop in either hand.

RAMAGE TAKES
DECISION OVER
STEVE HAMAS

LOS ANGELES, March %. W.P)-
Lee Ramage, San Diego light heavy
weight, was too fast and too clever
for Steve Hamas, former Penn State
athlete, last night and at the end
of q furious, 10-round fight was
given a well-earned decision,
Before a crowd of 1000 fans who
jammed Olympic auditorium and
left 1000 more outside, Ramage
battered Hamas until he was bare
ly able to stand-then, exhausted
himself, went to his knees in the
tenth round as Hamas on pure
nerve alone tried desperately for a
knockout. He had Ramage sway
ing on his feet as the bell rang.
In this last-minute comeback,
battered and bruised, with one eye
closed, Hamas gained the consider
alton of fans, some holding he
was entitled to draw, but Ram
age had piled up point after point
in the earlier rounds. The United
Press credited him with winning
all but the second and tenth
rounds.
Sensational, 187-pound Hamas
had been considered the better
man. Winner by 25 knockouts in
% fights, victory over Tommy
Loughran and Armand Emanual,
his career had been compared to
that of the early days of Jack
Dempsey.
But if that was an apt compar-
ison, Ramage was his Tunney.
Hamas was a fighter through and
through, but was unable to connect
properly with one of his killing
blows. Ramage, state heavyweight
champion, fought like Dempsey's
conqueror.
Cody he began to punch Hamas
about the ring. Lacking the power
for a Knockout against his heavier
opponent, he piled up points.
Until in the ninth he seemed as
sured of victory, nearly to lose it
as Hamas made his furious come
back.
Both Men Tired
In the first round Ramage red
dened HamaS lace, caused MS eyes
to swell. In the sixth Hamas' left
eye was closed, and from then un-
til the tenth it was Ramage's fight.
AS the battle neared its close
both fighters were exhausted. In
the clinches they swayed against
each other, apparently each ready
to drop.
AS the tenth round opened Hamas
on wobbly legs summoned every bit
of reserve energy to put Ramage,
also wearied, on his knees and on
the ropes as the crowd cheered his
courage.
Ramage weighed 174, Hamas
1917. The crowd of 11,000 paid
$17,998 to see the fight.
Other results:
Tom Patrick, heavyweight, tech
nically knocked out Ray Macias,
Santa Ana Mexican, 90; Jess Ak
ers, heavyweight. decisioned Andy
Mitchell, (6O; Wildman Cozzens,
$50, knocked out Tom Twomey, 1872

out Max Maxwell, 1877, (2).

WOMAN TENNIS
FAN DISRUPTS
FRENCH TEAM
By JACK CUDDY
United Press Staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, March %. An
attractive young woman, an ardent
admirer of debonnaire Jean Boro-
ira, French tennis ace, was held
for observation at Bellevue hospital
today because she battled at the
international tennis match last
night, to present Jean with a dag
ger shaped paper knife.
Sight of the cleaning knife and
screams of the girl as she fought

tome Gentien, that they lost their
doubles match to George M. Lott of
Chicago, and John Van Ryn of
Philadelphia, 1913, Ga, As, Ga,
giving the United States 2 to l
advantage in the matches.
Leaping to her feet in the low
gallery at the seventh regiment
armory, the dark haired girl in
huge fur coat, pulled the knife
from her handbag. She waved it
at Borotra, who, at the moment,
was concentrating every effort, on
the court below, in one of the long
est sets in the history of board
surface tennis, with the score 13-
all.
Fearing she would toss the knife
down at the Frenchman, nearby
spectators attempted to stop her.
A struggle ensued. Meanwhile the
tennis players halted their game.
Borotra and Centien stood dumb
founded, gazing in astonishment.
Attendants hurried to aid the spec
tators. Patrolman William Ward
half carried. half dragged the girl
down the stairs and out of the
building.
