Jan. 12 (ffO If fistic observers have Interpreted the signs correctly, all obstacles In the path of n heavyweight title match between Max Schmcling and Young Strlbllng have been cleared away and their managers arc ready to sign on the dotted line. Some of the more optomistic of the experts voiced tho opinion today that the bout would bo "mado" within 24 hours, but the more conservative were Inclined to believe that several minor odds and ends would have to be disposed of first. Certainly there were definite indi cations that "Pa" Stribltng, father m.neger of tho Macon. On., heavy weight, and promoters for the Hearst milk fund were closo to an agree ment. Schmcling already Is under contract to the milk fund and no trouble is anticipated from that quarter. According to best available advices, the bout, if all goes well, wilt bo held next June In Detroit, Cleveland, Philadelphia or Jersey City. 11KMPHKY PICKS NTItllH,IN; NEW YORK, Jan. 12 (,! W. L.

Jeffersonvillo Ingram said he had resigned: that he Intended to continue coaching and. that the school which employed him would make the announcement In the near future. Ingram was a gridiron and rowing star for Navy, and later football coach at William and Mary college and University of Indiana. J There have been reports that he and navy athletic authorities dis agreed over the terms of his con tract. During last year's spotty sea son he was under a one-year con tract. He asked for a three-year con tract, friends said, and the navy offered him one of two years. . Ingram has been mentioned fre quently as a possible successor to Price.

Sport Slants .- fly Alan J. fioulil (Associated Press Sports Editor) Professional wrestling, as a sport, has been held up in derision by the experts In many parts of the land, yet with comparatively little bally hoo to stir them, some 20,000 cus tomers of the cash variety literally rioted for admission to the most re cent exhibition put on by the roly polies in New York's Madison Square Garden. The contrast was sharp Indeed, with the sparse and extremely un enthuslastlc turnouts for many re cent prize -fighting programs In the same arena. The explanation, if one is neces sary, seems to be that the wrestlers, regardless of their toupe, clique or combination for which they perspire, furnish satisfactory action and ex citement.

"Scissors Joe" Stecher, "Strangler Ed" Lewis and Earl Cad- dock, the "man of a thousands holds" were forerunners of the present crop I of foreign giants and American col- j leglans. built up to furnish the nec essary "color." ( They may be less scientific and no mere effective than former methods ' cf manhandling an opponent, but Gus Sonnenberg's "flying tackle," Jim Lcndos' "airplane spin" and Ed (Den) George's "Wolverine Slam" have helped the catch -as-catch -can ballyhoo. D-tmouth yielded the mat leader ship to Michigan when Sonnenberg was somewhat disabled and beaten by George for a good-slued portion of the heavyweight wrestling 'champion ship claims. George, a good-looking youth of 25 who wrestled for the U. S. A. In the 1928 Olympics and won numerous championships for Michigan, found the grappling game much more lucra tive than engineering. His rise to rank as a champion has been swift and dramatic. When he was graduated at Ann Arbor in 1020 he had little or no thought of turn ing "pro." Opportunity beckoned, however; he made a "hit" with the wrestling forces beaded by Lou Darp at Los Angeles and in less than mg year gained the match in which he- defeated Sonnenberg. George lost no time hitting the trail East to capitalize his victory but the 218-pound Buffalo boy is not likely to have a chance soon to show what he can do against so experi enced a grappler,as Loncios, recog nized as world's champion in New York and Pennsylvania. They are members of riv.il groups and it seems to be axiomatic in professional wrestling that business competitors do not mix in the public arenas. h. B.
