Strib|ing Out 10 Even
Score in 1onight's
Bout With Wolfe

Middleweight Ken Stribling of
Washington is favored to avenge one
of the few defeats on his postwar
boxing record tonight when he goes
against Delmas (Ki6 Wolfe, also of
Washington, in the 10-round main
event at Turner's Arena.
Wolfe got an eight-round decision
over Stribling in April of 1916. Since
Stribling has been burning up the
local league while Wolfe has been
doing only fair. Ken has lost only
to Johnny Walker of Philadelphia,
beaten last month in return. He
had a draw with AL Wright year
ago, but otherwise has won over
everything he tackled, including a
fancy victory over talented Frank
Lacey of Baltimore last December.
Despite his spotty 1947 record,
things are looking up for Wolfe. He
has a new manager, Pierre Gruen,
who plans to take him on. a Euro
pean tour, and win over Stribling
tonight would be something nice for
Gruen to talk about when the two
get to the other side. Wolfe has
the equipment to make good fight
er, he's in good condition and is a
sharp hitter. He showed his power
by stiffening George Brooks in the
first round of September bout.
Stribling won over the same fighter
with a siX-round decision.

Tinker, who was named to

Va|pey Faces Big 1as|
Trying 10 Recapture
Harvard Grid Glory
BY the Associotsd Press

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Feb. 10
The herculean labor of restoring an
cient Harvard to its once lofty in
tercollegiate football peak has been
placed on the 32-year -old shoulders
of Art Valpey, who has had only
three years of varsity coaching ex-
perience as an assistant at the Uni
versity of Michigan.
Valpeys acceptance of a three
year contract as successor to the
veteran Dick Harlow, who resigned
because of i'll health two months
ago, was announced last night by
Athletic Director William j. Bing-
ham. The salary terms were not
disclosed.
after long and careful exam
ination of numerous candidates,
am convinced that Arthur Valpey
has a sound background of football
and the necessary force and en-
thusiasm to put over this knowl-
edge to young and eager football
players, bl1lgudIu Sdlu.
Recommended by Crisler.
The Crimson athletic director
added that Valpey was recon-
mended by Fritz Crisler, Michigan
athletic director and head football
coach.
Last Friday Bingham submitted
the names of two others of the So
odd who applied for the Harvard
Gridiron vacancy. One was in his
late 30s and the other over the As
year mark.
The nine-man committee on the
regulation of athletic sports. which
has final say on all coaching ap-
pointments, voted unanimously for
Valpey, who now becomes Har-
wards second nongraduate coach
since 1881. The other was Harlow.
who came to the stadium from little
Western Maryland in 1885.
Has Rugged Schedule.
As a Crisler aide on last years
Rose Bowl championship Michigan
staff, Valpey tutored the Wolverine
end squad. During the two previous
seasons he served as a line coach
and chief scout.
Valpey started his football career as
a schoolboy player in Dayton, Ohio,
and was a regular end at Michigan
during the 1935-37 seasons. After
graduating, he coached high school
football in Ida, Manchester and
Midland, Mich, before returning to
Ann Arbor as freshman line coach.

New Champions Loom

.CIimaxes Season
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-The Ma
tional AAU championships bring the
pre- Olympic indoor track and field
season to a climax this week and
Judging from recent performances
most of the individual titleholders
are going to have a tough time
hanging on to their crowns.
The New York Athletic Clubs
80th annual games at Madison
Square Garden last Saturday night
revised the indoor picture somewhat
and produced several interesting i'm
pressions, including these:
/. Gerry Karver is the second best
miller in the country today and will
be the man to beat in the scramble
for the national indoor mile title
vacated by Gilbert Dodds, sidelined
with the mumps.
2. Curtis Stone, former teammate
of Karver at Penn State, has de-
veloped into the best 2-miler in these
parts since Greg Rice and, while
there is no indoor title at that dis
lance, should be able to retain his
championship at 8 miles.
8. Herb McKenley, the long-strid-
ing Jamaican, finally has learned
how to run on the boards and must
be counted as a favorite to dethrone
Villanova's George Guida at 600
yards.
Karver, who owns the National
AAU outdoor 1,500-meter title, as
we'll as the NCAA and IC4A mile
championships, captured the Baxter
mile easily Saturday night in the
unimpressive time of AIS.
Stone, who now runs for the
Shanahan Catholic Club of Phila-
delphia, took the Toussaint 2-mile
by IS yards on 9:04.2, fastest time
for the distance since Rice, holder
of the world indoor record of 8:51,
wound up his competitive career in
1943.
McKenley, who had run fifth be-
hind the victorious Guida in 600
yards the previous week in Boston,
reversed the procedure in taking the
Buermeyer 500 in the crack time of
57.3 seconds, just two-tenths off the
world indoor record.
Knocked off the track at Boston
in the scramble for positions, Nc
Kenley made certain that it wouldn't
happen here. Starting on the
outside, he dashed for the rail at
the first turn with such speed that
his opponents spent the rest of the
race untangling themselves.

Gonzaga, St. Johns Triumph.
Gonzaga, coached by Joe Kozik,

the defeats having come from st.

Both added to their strings yester-
day, Gonzaga by topping LaSalle OF
Cumberland, 1926, and the john
nies by swamping Mount st. Jo-
seph's, 1922, in double-header at
the Armory. Both were good victor
les, but the Johnnies' win particu-
larly was satisfying as it was over
the only team to defeat them pre-
viously. That was by 1-point
margin in overtime last month.
Jack George took high-scoring
honors for the Cadets as they ended
the Mounts 16-game winning
streak, scoring 13 points. st. Johns
