tuck, when Tech and the Blue
White hoop forces meet in their
final game of the regular season
for both teams Saturday night at
the Wildly gym.
The Leavenworth win over Com
mercial was not any fluke or photo
finish, either, as there were seven
points difference at the finish, more
than three field goals, and, by a
strange coincidence that was the diff
ference between Crosby and Manga
tuck last Wednesday night when the
final whistle had blown. Tech won
at New Haven A to 81 while
Crosby was a Al to "a victor over the
boys from the borough.
Aside from keeping on edge for
the state tournament competition at
New Haven In March, Crosby has
the added incentive of winning over
Leavenworth tomorrow night, as a
win will give Corsby an even-Ste-
phen point rating with Wildly for
the AL Kellie Memorial trophy, the
commercial school athletic teams
having a 1925 edge at this writing
Again, having settled the myth
cal city championship, a win to-
morrow and a halfway decent
show in the state tournament will
complete successful season for the
Crosby court combine which has
won most of its games, stands third
in the valley league and lost a
couple of "heart-breakers" in the
bargin. LeavenWorth, too has had
its share of tough "breake" but has
busted out now and then with an
excellent performance such as its
opening test with Bristol and its
win over Commercial.
Bristol by the way plays two
games in two nights, both on for

tonight and at Torrington to-
morrow night, where 1t will be a

Slow, One=Sided Bout Dis
appoints Fans; Katz
:. Loses
Especial to the Democrat)

New Haven, Feb. iS.-An addi-
tional 20 pounds and the advantage
90 of boxing with world heavy
weight champion Joe Louis, proved
a distinct handicap rather than an
expected help, for George Fitch,
New Haven negro who was out
pointed in slow, uninteresting,
one-sided fight here tonight at the
Arena, where 5000 fans watched
Charley Eagle of Waterbury, pile
up points to win going away
Referee Lou Bogash gave Eagle
six rounds, called three even and
credited Fitch with one round.
After the first round, which boys
used as "teeler" Eagle went to
work on Ftich's body, slowed him
down with right hand shots under
the hearts, while the negro was far
from his f1ashy self, hardly ever
using fine left hand which he had
before putting on the extra weight.
He fought against Eagle, as if the
Waterburian were Louis, wrestling
around as much as possible to pre-
vent punishment and content to
stay the limit. What little fight
ing there was, Eagle did 1t, though
he had not lad bout in more
than a year, giving Nathan Mann
a great battle before losing the nod
a year or SO ago.
Arena promoters were expected to
match Mann and Eagle again, if
permission for the formers appear
ance can be secured from the Coast
Guard authorities, where Nate is
stationed as an enlisted man. Eagle
weighed close to 1876 for Fitch, the
latter an even 200 pounds.

Make Katz of Waterbury was
outpunched by colored Herman
Badger of New Haven in a six

New York, Feb. 20-(UP)Ray
(Sugar) Robinson, Harlem's little
Joe Louis" risks boxing's biggest
winning streak and shot at the
worlds welterweight championship
when he battles rugged Make Ber-
ger in scheduled 12-round bout at
Madison Square Garden.
The 21-year-old Negro is Al
favorite to register his 117th straight
victory and his 18th consecutive
professional triumph. And the odds
are even that he kayoes the for
mer Canadian lightweight and
welterweight champion.
A crowd Of $4,000 and a gate of
$4,000 are expected. The national
infantile paralysis foundation win
receive share Of the receipts.
Robinson was conceded an edge
in speed and punching power while
Berger was expected to hold an APP
proximate four pound weight ad-
vantage. The winner undoubtedly
will get shot at the 147-pourd title
held by Freddie (ReO Cochrane.
Beat Ex-Welter Champ
Robinson's rise has been rapid
since he turned professional In Oc-
tober, 1910. after winning 80 straight
amateur fights. OF his q pro VIC
tories he has won 81 by knockouts.
His most recent victory was over
F,ritZie Civic, the former Welter-
weight king.
Berger, at Is, is the best Canadian
in the ring today and drew much
support because OF his awkward
style and unusual stamina. Born
in Weymouth, Nova Scotia, he has
had almost 100 bouts.
Although resident of New York
for the past three years, Berger is
anxious to give his native Nova SEQ
tia Its second world boxing cham
pionship. The old-time Negro feath-
erweight king, George Dixon, was
born in Halifax.
There was considerable support
for Berger in smart money" circles,
probably because Robinson. is get
ting a reputation as an out-of- the
ring playboy.
However, Robinson trained for
the bout at the Greenwood Lake
fcamp used by Louis and was report
ed IN excellent shape. Berger did his
training at St:llman's gymnasium.
Good Prelims
Matchmaker Nat Rogers has ar
ranged two eight-round events,
skier and four to support the fea-
ture attraction.
In one of the Fights, Make Sha-
piro, East Side lightweight, and Sal
Bartolo, OF Boston, clash for the
nth time. In their first encounter
Bartolo won the verdict. Their sec
ond was a draw. The next two were
won by Shapiro but on disputed de-
cisions.
Sammy Secret, highly-touted
welterweight from Pittsburgh, makes
his first New York start in the sec
ond eight. He is paired with Nor
man Rubio, Of Albany, who has
made several spectacular fights
at the Garden in recent months.

Yale And Georgetown
On Court Saturday;
Swimmers at Michigan

New Haven, Feb. 20-The Yale
Georgetown basketball game IN
the Payne Whitney gymnasium to-
morrow night at $3.50 and the one
between the Yale Freshman and
Bridgeport Central High School at
Z, comprise the athletic slate at
the University this weekend, max
ing 1t about the quietest Saturday
of the indoor season. Yesterday af-
ternoon, Coach Bob Kiphuth took
Is swimmers to Ann Arbor, Mich
igan, for the great meet with Matt
Mann's Wolverines Saturday eve
ming, a meet which promises to
be thriller from start to finish.
This is the only other event sched-
uled for the day, either home or
abroad. OF the Yale-Michigan SER
les, Michigan has won three and
Yale two, so the Ellis have an OPP
portunity to tie 1t up tomorrow
night.
AS to the basketball game with
Georgetown tomorrow night, the
usual torrid fight Is expected.
Coached again by Elmer Ripley,
who was Yale's basketball mentor
for several years up to the time
he was succeeded by the current
coach, Ken Loeff!er, the Hoyas will
offer another good team, backed
up by a good seasonal record. Since
Ripley left and Ioeffler took hold
at Yale, the rivalry between the
coaches and teams has been of
the keenest sort. Five games have
been played between the teams
coached by these mentors, Yale
having a slight edge, with three
out of five to her credit. Last year
Georgetown won by single point
margin, 1898. One of the most re-
markable games between the two
teams was in 1889 when George
town won, 2O-19, the lowest scor-
ing major game ever played in
the Payne Whitney gymnasium.
Yale will use the same team
that started against Penn Wednes-
day night, Coach Loeffler, how
ever. shifting positions of the five.
Tomorrow will find Bert Ingley and
Tom Vogt up forward, Austie Nor
ton in the center spot and Keehn
Berry and Captain Chuck Seel-
bach in the back court. The Hoyas
will be led By Francis O'Grady,
who will be in a guard position.
One of the crack players on the
team is the big center, Bill Born
heimer. He Is 6 foot inches in
height and a hard man to stop.
In the forward berths will be
Charlie Schmidt and Aloysirs Lu-
jack and playing guard with Cap
tain O'Brady will be Don Martin.
