Forbess, City fire marshal, appealed Saturday to Lubbock residents to cooperate in keeping the city clean and sanitary. Eliminate lire Hazards Coincident to the cleanup drive, fire hazards will be eliminated, said Forbes, and "merchants must realize the importance of fire hazards and the direct to all policy from fires." He asked that yards and alleys be kept- clean and that merchants see that trash is placed in cans and packed down so it will remain until garbage wagon crews can remove it. "The garbage collection department of the city is anxious to remove trash from the alleys as rapidly as it accumulates but does not have sufficient forces to clean the entire alley when trash has been allowed to blow from the garbage containers," Forbes said. Tech Fighters iCouUaucd from Page and an event of pompous pro- teetUngs at Texas Tech. The fights, seven in all, promise to be worth the tune and price of admission.

The North Texas Aggies boast several outstanding boxers, and Harry Guthrie of Tech believes his lads can give good of themselves. There will be fights in nearly all weight divisions, from the US- pound bantamweight class to the heavyweight division. In the bantamweight division, Joe Lynch of Tech, a Ft.

M. C. A. champion. He is a football and basketball star.

Tech's fighter in the welterweight class, James McDuff of Rails, also faces plenty of trouble. He meets Milton Coffey, one of the Aggies' outstanding performers. Coffey has participated in 46 amateur fights, winning most of them, including the last eixceen in a row. He hat been champion of Casino Park, Fort Worth, twice, and. was tri-state A.

A. U. champion in 1933. Several weeks ago he defeated, James Matthews, Southern A. A.

Moseley or Edwin Sweet will meet the Aggie middleweight. Mark Smith, ot Cleburne, is to represent Tech in the 165-pound class. Tech boasts two able boxers in the light heavyweight and heavyweight division. The Aggie roster lists, but one but the report is that Leonard Applcton ol Baird, Texas, is good enough to take on both Tech heavy weigh ti at the oame time.
