Joe "Twin" Rizzo, who boxes Aldo Linz, lightweight champion of Italy, is facing one of the best boys that he has met in the south.

Linz has boxed boys like Jackie Mason, winning easily, knocking ot Tode Baldwin, and has a decision over Bruno Ladurni of Falm Beach. Linz in 29 starts has only lost two decisions. Joe "Twin" Rizzo compiled a record of 13 straight wins before coming south, and has added two victories since arriving here. Vh petition. Furthermore, comparative figures on gridiron play this year raise the 1930 southern Rose Bowl competitor, Alabama, to co-equal share of the national spotlight with Notre Dame.

Those who select "the field'' have three runners to root for instead of one. The customary number of starters in a greyhound race has long been eight.

They are reading left to right: Jiuth Stones, Mildred Smith, Myra Bozzell, Catherine Sample, Marion Hadley, and Margaret Gross.

Other members of the team not in the picture are: Yank Mpss, Alice Mitchell and Dorothy Knowles. Joe Whalen, 14-year-old tennis player, is Miami's most outstanding amateur athlete this week. Whalen went to Jacksonville last week and copped both the junior and boys' state championship without a great deal of effort. He won the boys' title by defeating Bob Holley, 6-4, 6-3 aud won the junior title by defeating Henry. Hoyt.

He played the first five holes of the ont-going nine like a machine being on green in the regulation number of strokes and down in two putts. Farrell scored his only birdie of the outgoing trip on the long sixth hole. He hit a long drive and his spoon shot to the green was 75 yards short. He chipped on and sunk his 20-foot approach putt for a birdie four. On thi seventh Farrel played mashie niblic shot and was putting for his second birdie which he missed by two inches when the ball broke past the cup.

He went one over par on the long eighth hole when his long approach putt pulled away from the cup and he took, a five, one over par. Par four on the ninth hole and Farrel was out in 3C, par figures for the trip. Farrell lost his first putt of the day when' he missed a five-footer on the 10th bole to take a five. The next two holes, the 12th and loth, were played in par figures and he went one over on the short 13th when he missed his second short putt. Farrell then played par golf for the remainder of the round to finish the bark side in two over par for a 37.

Too the little Italian pro who holds second place with 140, two strokes behind Eddie Williams, start, ed his second round by playing the first two holes in par figures. He went ope over par on the third bole whea be three-putted the green to card a five. From then on in it was a story of par golf. He was on the green in the required number of strokes and always down in two putts. Turnesa was one of the few pros who scored a par four on the long eighth hole.

He played two long wood shots that were short of 'the green and holed out his SATURDAY SCORES IN OPEN TOURNEY here.

Tom "Twin" Rizzo, who boxea Eddie, ia well known in the north where he has never lost a decision and numbers some of the best lightweights among his victims. In the opening bout of the evening the fans will have a chance to see the boy for whom they have taken such a liking when Bill Brown, the so-called blonde meets Ginger Ge-rangan who boxed such a great fight last week.

Brown, who is just a youngster and is still going to high school, promises to make a name for himself, if he keeps on improving as he has shown in his last few starts. This bout should have the fans ready for the next contest when Gus Campbell meets Ice Merritt of Palm Beach. These two boys boxed here a few weeks ago and when the decision was given to Gus, there seems to be no doubt in the minds of the fans as to just who the winner was.

There are strong reasons to believe, however, that Alabama closed its season with a greater degree of perfection tban did the men of Knute Itoekne.

Points kicked after touchdown were successful less than 50 per cent of the time. Field goals kicked totaled one.

All the year the Tide merely had banged away by sheer brawn, battering down the opposition with brute force and old-fashion football cunning.

Uncovering such a smoothly running air game came as a pleasant shock to the south. Monk Campbell, who scored two of the Tide's touchdowns, previously bad scored 12 to lead his team. Flash Suther, who scored the other, was second with 6. Campbell's 1,000 percentage in converting extra points was another surprise, for he had kicked only two before Jan. 1.

In the matter of that field-goal kicked by second string guard Whit-worth, there Was still another surprise. Alabama previously had kicked only one such goal, Hugh Barr Millet, third string'quarterback, doing it. The south next fall will watch Duke university with a lot of interest, to see what Wallace Wade, great gridiron mentor at Alabama for eight years, does with an up-and-coming outfit at Diirham. In some quarters the feeling exists Wade will be back at Fasadena with his fourth Rose Bowl competitor in the not distant future. x-Georze Hovne.
