La rkin, StoIz
 Battle Friday

The fight between Epeus, and Eurydlus in ancient Greece Cor was 1t Rome?) was probably a neigh borhood rivalry.
 Neishbors have spread out con- slderably since then and It's . long jump between Epeus-Eurydlus and Allie Stolz and Tippy Larkin. But tho ten-round contest between Stol2 of Newark, N. J., and Larkin, of Garfield, N. J., at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night could algo be put in the taeighborhood rivalry class.
 Stolz and Larkin arc rivals of long standing. Each claims to be tho best fighter In New Jersey be- tween l30 and i40 pounds. The match on Thursday, arranged after four years of effort by promoters in the New York-New Jersey area, will settle the issue,
 New Jersey has had this sort of rivalry in the past. Fight fans will recall Johnny Buff-Mickey Russell, Mickey Walker Georgic Ward, Bob- by Brady-Young za2zerino, Al RidgeWay- Brady, Patsy Kline- Young Guarini, Jimmy Braddock- Jimmy Francis.
 New York has had them too: Ruby Goldstein-sid Ferris, Carl Duane-Lew Hurley, Joey Silvers- Joe Click, Pepper Martin-Kid Sul- livan, Al Dayls-Mickey Farrer.
 Stol2-Larkin Is not altogether a New Jersey rivalry. It has de- vcloped into something of q New Jersey-Ncw York rivalry as well, For the classy Allie has been adopted by those same New York fight fans who went all-out in the past in their support of Benny Leonard, Goldstein, Ferris, Al Singer, and even Chicago-rearcd Barney Ross.
 Stolz made his first professional appearance at the old Hippodrone in New York and most of his box ing ever since has been done in rings on this side of the Hudson
 lIarkin, on the other hand, has stuck closer to home and the great majority of his contests have been fought In Newark, PaSsaic, Jersey City, Garfield.
 Quite aside from the local rivalry angle, Stolz-Larkin figures to bc orc of the most interesting bouts Of the season because these two lads are the best boxer.puncherB in ac. ton today.

Rubber Comes Through

For three periods, U. s. Rubber and the Tool played on almost even terms, but the Watcos' inability to sink easy sucker shots in the last few minutes Of play cost them 0 46-38 setback.
 The borough speed merchants held a 25-22 margin after the first two periods elapsed. Their lead was cut to 32-2l as the last period got underway thanks to Bill Sweeney and Andy York who popped in sev- eral sensational long ones.
 Shortly after the final period commenced Sweeney put the East Aurora street representatives ahead with q field goal, but from then on 1t was much easier for them to miss the irons than hit and as Q result the valley entrant, with Lefty Farrar. Bill Rhoads and "Yum Yum" Sweet leading the barrage of points, coasted on to victory to remain tied with Brass for second round honors,

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, March 20.-(UP)-Bii Adolph Rupp, coach Of Kentucky's basketball team, believes that fresh. men should be permitted to continue In varsity competition after the wal ends,
 Rupp, who arrived last night witt his squad of 10 Wildcats for to. nights play in the National Tn. Vitation Tournament at Madison Square Garden, says college fresh. men in recent months have blasted the old theory that varsity partici, patton might harm them physicall! and mentally.
 The husky, dark-haired, middle aged mentor pointed to his owr team as an example. The squae from the Lexington, Ky, institution comprises eight frosh and two sophs Their average age in only l8. But tlIs youthful outfit proved itself one of the finest teams in Ken tucky's history. It has won IT of It's IS games, beating many top flight opponents,
 Rupp emphasized during q chat at his hotel: "This varsity competi- ton hasn't interfered in the least with the class Work of our freshmen players. Instead. I believe the chance to play on the varsity ac- tually served as an incentive for some of them to study harder and not risk being dropped from the big team because of poor marks.
 "In normal times when first year men are restricted to play on the freshman team, 1t seems to me that they spend just as much time practicing for the frosh squad as do the varsity players"
 Rupp. coaching his 14th year at Kentucky. stressed another impor- tant angle. Varsity participation for freshmen automatically elim- mates the necessity of maintaining protective" frosh squads in which much top-hight talent is kept bot- tied up. Thus, there is less con- centration of young talent at cer- tain schools, and . morse even distribution of good players, raising the calibre of play generally,
 "Of course this whole question will have to be threshed out after the war" he added.
 The Kentucky Wildcats tangle to- night with the Utah Utes In a quarter-flnal game of the invitation tourney. The Utes, also an ill., civilinn squads, have won i8 and lost three this season. Rupp said he hadn't been able to find out much about UtaN. He had no pals in the Salt Lake area who could scout them, "They must be good" he said with a Wry smile, 'or they wouldn't be here. That's the trou- ble; and we don't know what type of attack or defense to expect"
 Kentucky is one of the tourna- ment fayorItes because 1t won the southeastern tournament and be- cause 1t has beaten such strong mid-westcrn outfits as Notre Dame, Ohio State, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio U and Cincinnati, Its lone dfeat was inflicted by Illinois, 43-4l; but in n return encounter, Kentucky triumphed, 5i-40.
