Middle Title Contest Toniqht
Between ApostoIi, Corbett
Fails to Arouse Fans

ing him out the second time, before
Solly "snuck' up on Hostak. In the
opinion of impartial critics, Apostoli
and Corbett are the two best mid
dleWeights in the world today, what
ever the status of tonights scrap.
Corbett, 33 and a southpaW, won
a lO-round decision from Apostoli in
San Francisco last February. much
to the surprise of nearly everybody.
The betting is 5 to 9 that there
will be a different result tonight,
and the probability is that Apostoli
will be declared the winner before
the Is rounds are up.
Apostoli, younger and the harder
hitter, has learned something about
fighting left-handers. The most
popular guess is that he will halt
Corbett in the last five rounds.
It will be Corbett's first fight here
in some 10 years He lost decision
to Sammy Baker in his last appear
ance here, and he didn't like 1t. He
still thinks it was robbery, but 1t
willing to give New York one more
chance.
Corbett Unusual Fighter.
Corbett is an unusual specimen.
From his almost unmarked appear
ance and the way he steps around
the ring. he might not be day older
than Apostoli's Is years. HIS exag-
gerated southpaW stance has mace
him a hard one to hit. and he seems
to take his fighting more casually
than most.
I'm sure I'll beat Apostoli again,
and I think I'll be able to fight IN
the top flight for at least five more
wears" he says. I've lived differ
emily from most fighters. Stayed
out of poolrooms and never went
around a gymnasium except "heh
I was actually training"
Whether this exemplary conduct
will get him past Apostoli this time
is doubtful, for Freddie is loaded and
determined to erase the one real
blemish on his record. He has con-
centrated on hitting with his right
and beating his left-handed spar
ring mates to the punch. 1t should
be a real good fight.

NEW YORK. Nov. l6.-Having
finished their training without the
fracture of a single sacro- lilac,
Freddie Apostoli and Young Cor
bett. Sd, clash at Madison Square
Garden tonight for the world mid
dleweieht championship as it is
understood by the New York State
Athletic Commission
Prospects are that the two Cali
fornians will settle their argument
in semi-privacy, with fewer than
10000 scattered about the big arena.
The fight has failed to catch on,
partly because the house has been
scaled at championship prices and
many fans do not think it is a bona
fide championship fight.
The title for which Apostoli and
Corbett fight is an ephemeral some

title is held by Solly Krieger Of

Goa|-Kitking Lefty
AT Brigham Young
Is Rated Best
Four Booted Over Bar
This Year by Sotfe,
Greet on Control

B. the Associated Press.
PROVO, Utah, Nov 18-Here is a
lefty with lots of control.
Twenty one year old Kenneth
Soffe boots a football with his left
foot and his Brigham Young Uni
versity mates reckon him to be the
best kicker of field goals in college
football this year.
He has booted four three-pointers
from placement this season and has
one more game to 60. His longest
kick was one from the 26-yard line
in a night game with Denver Uni
versity.
Soffe pronounced as one syllable
with long "o') also has kicked six
points after touchdown and missed
only one His accurate left toe
earned the Cougars a TT tie with
undefeated Utah few weeks ago.
The best field goal the curley-
haired quarterback ever made was
one from the 42-yard line against
Portland University last year. Just
so the Portland players wouldn't
forget him. he hoisted another g.
pointer against them this year.
In both games his field goal put
B. Y. U. ahead. but each time Port
land rallied to score winning
touchdown.
Ken. who is a 194-pound blocker
and also punts, practices kicking 10
or Is field goals daily. He takes one
step when inside the 25-yard line
and two short ones when the goal
posts are farther away.
Soffe thinks he'll never forget the
first time he tried a field goal in a
game. His Jordan High School team
was playing Box Elder High for the
Utah title in 1884 With 20 seconds
left in the scoreless game. kicking
Ken let go a placement from the 27-
yard line and joyfully watched the
ball sail over the bar.
Now there is a left shoe in the
Jordan trophy case.
