Wilby's play during that part of the game was comparable l to that of grammar school team, and not very good one at that. Shots under the hoop went every where but In the basket, and when tho Lee lads did get the ball, It was promptly taken away from them by moro spirited and much smoother Crosby machine. In short | Wilby played panicky basketball for the greater part of the game while Crosby seemed to know what the game was all about from start to finish.

He did an elegant job on the speedy Wilbur Dunn. holding the | ~ h.tN . team mate Elton Wilmot. got away for I3 points, most of them short shots near and under the rings.

FIVE-YEAR CHASE OF YOUNG CORBETT
 ENDS WITH TITLE
Frisco BattIer Easily Beats Fields in Ten- Round Tilt
By GEORGE F.. HELMER United Press Stan C0rrcspondcntC


 United Press Stan Corrcspondcnt)
 San Francisco, Feb 23.--rtUP)--- Young corbett III, swarthy Italian from Fresno, Cal, reigned as wel- terweight champion of the world today after a 10-round decision over Jackie Fields.
 It was haggard-appearing Fields who faced the "uncrowned champ" fin Seals Stadium before 10000 roaring fans yesetrday aft- ernoon. He was game to the end. but his two-fisted inhghting was not enough to stop the sharpshoot- ing tactics of Corbet, who made good in his first real chance at the title.
 Has The Stun
 Corbett won a decision over Fields three years ago in non- titular battle and previously won over Young Jack Thompson in a fight that didn't count" Yester- day he tore into the champion with everything he had. and the result was never in doubt.
 Corbett started slamming Fields with his left early in the first round, opening an old cut on the champions nose. He repeatedly feinted with his right. then drove his left to tho head or body, rock ing Fields and piling up points. :.
 Fields relied on infighting, and was aggressive most of tho way. Each time he took a blow. he countered with rights and 1efts to the body and head before Corbctt could tic him up fin n clinch, but the blows lacked power. Corbett's victory cuIminated five years of fruitIess challenging of champions. He had not lost q fight in that period.
 Fields received $30.000, the big end of tho purse. The promoters ! and Corbett split the rest of tho $50.000 gate.

TIRANIA, Albania, Oct. 24.-- After closing all Italian schools in Albania, then finding that Italy had cut into his finances, King Fog has held out an olive branch.
 He has made the study of Italian obligatory in Albanian schools and stipulated that 80 per cent of AL banian students going abroad must study in Italy.
 Whether this is satisfactory to Rome probably will come out be- fore an Italo-Albanian Commission now seeking settlement of the difficulties.

 Rufe Naylor, manager of Win ooka, may find difficulty meet ing Whitney's requirement, how ever, as so far he has refused to let the five -year-old mott from Down Under run in open compe- tition. A match race on the winner take-all basis is the only proposition that Naylor will en- certain.
