FIGHT TITLE TO FRIDAY WINNER Wolgast, Genaro Clash In Gotham for Crown In Flyweight Class. BY LES CONK LIN. NEW YORK, Dec. 25 The 15 round flyweight championship bout at Madison Square Garden tomorrow night between Midget Wolgast, recognized as champion in New Lcrk state and Frankie Genaro, the National Boxing association title 1 lmlrfur micrbr rn11irt thr third noiaer, might be canea tne inira battle of boxing's world series.

In two previous bouts between i title claimants, fighters recognized as champions in New York state de feated the N. B. A. title holders, evincing the same superiority that the American league has enjoyed over the Natiinal in baseball's postseason classics of recent years. Hunch players, who believe that a boxing cycle runs in threes, are bettUig that Wolgast fccate Genaro just as rony canzonen aeieatea Benny Bass and Maxie Rosenbloom conquered Jimmy Slattcry Youth vs.

Experience. Tomorrow's title go will be the old battle of youth, fire and speed against age and experience. Genaro riimi mon won the Olympic title in 1920 when Wolgast was a schoolboy, who read of Uenaro's feats with admiration but 11: tie dreamed he would meet his idol 10 years later for the cham pionship of the world. While Wolgast was little known until he breezed through the New York flyweight elimination tourna ment last spring in sensational fashion, Genaro has been a head liner for 10 years. In 1923.

he and Pancho Villa were the oustandint? contenders for the title, then held by Jimmv Wilde. The Filipino fought the Englishman and won the title, only to die as a result of an operation. Genaro inherited the crown and promptly lost it to Fidel La Barba. Title Tn Dispute. Fver since La Barba gave up the title, its ownership has been in dis nute.

Oenaro won the N. B. A latreis from Frenchv Belaneer earlv In 1928 and defended the title elrrht times in foremen rinus. He lost the crown to Pldner in Paris, but won it bark gTain. Frankie is nnlv 99 and resent the Insinuation that he is a washed out old timr.

Genaro points' out that he is good as ever and claims he can hit harder than Woigast. He has been training britkly and appears to have much ot his old speed. But 15 rounds is a long Journey and the youthful Wolgast likely will be in stalled a two to one favorite over the veteran.

The new title holder will be a Mt a. i 1 A ajir iigniuig cnampiuu, no iui ir wnu wins. WoigMt aaya that if he beats fiftmro. he will be readv to take on the next, challenger within two weeks. This will be good news for Blark Botll.

With the offensive clicking in pleasing fashion, the Lincoln high school basketeers redeemed themselves in the eyes of Coach Bailer Wednesday when the A and teams staged a scrimmage as the feature of a prolonged program. Drill on free throws, goal shooting and under the basket play comprised the remainder of the workout. The A quintet romped to a 31 12 victoiy over the five by virtue of a sure fire passing attack on the offensive, and an almost airtight defense against the offensive thrusts of the substitutes. Most of the B's points came on long shots by Cassity and Wacker. The lineups which Bailer used in the mix were practically the same as those in action the past week.

The A quint had Johnny Carlson and Harold Miller, forwards. Herod Miller, center; Virgil Yelkin and Lloyd Wampler, guards. The substitute five had Glen Ajres and Glenfall Barnes, forwards; Harlan Davies, center; Jack Cassity and Fred Wacker, guards. Harry Hammer, Ray Baldwin and Fred Kahler also performed during the rnixup. Due Lose Two Lettermen.

The two lettermen, Virgil Yelkin and Lloyd Wampter. have cinched the two guard positions for the first semester, but Yelkin is in the same boat as Carlson that of being ineligible after the second semester begins late in January. It is expected that Fred Kahler, scphomorw guard, will be Yelkin's replacement, as the young defense man possesses a basket eye which enables him to sink shots from faraway spots. There is a possibility that the three day trip to the center of the state may be lengthened to a four day jaunt. Coach Bailer would like to place a game a strong central Nebraska team for New Year's eve, in order to give his eriar another game's experience beiore tackling the strong Hastings Tigers Saturday niKht and the Kearney Bearcats Friday night.
