NEW YORK, Dec. SO (AP)
Tba blast that may blow Max
j Bcfcmellng right out from under
' the - heavyweight championship
crown was touched, off today In
the offices of the New York state
athletle commission.
Like a spark ' drifting Into a
curtain of black damp in some
coal mine, Joe Jacobs, spokesman
for the Teuton elouter, strolled In
the den of solons and the charged
atmosphere flashed lightning;.
"Mister Yokuos" wandered oat
dizzily a few. minutes later; faced
with the problem of accepting;
within seren days the. ultimatum
of the commission that Schmellng
must fight Jack Sharkey here in
June of find himself bereft of rec
ognition in this state as heavy
weight king, t
To Make Max Toe Mark'
James A.. Farley, chairman of
the commission, told Jacobs that
Schmellng must keep the promise
be made the commission shortly
after lie won recognition as the
titleholder by the simple process
- of claiming foul In his match wltn
Sharker here last June. That
promise for an immediate return
bout with the Boston sailor was
not. kept d later was amended
to read "next June." .
The commission let' Jacobs
know It was rather eager to take
Schmeling's title away and on sec
ond thought had come to the con
clusion that Iter Maxle could hare
risen with little effort and con
tinned after Sharkey struck him
low In the fourth round In the
Yankee stadium.
Almost continually since his ar
riral here three years ago, the
German heary weight has been em
broiled at the commission in !th-
cultles and the fathers seem de
termined to bring him to heel
now once and for all. ' '
The stand of the commission,
opposed by promoters who would
bare to stage the match without
popular support and by ; critics
who believe that Young Stribling.
the sensational southerner, de
servlces consideration as the chal
lenger, may- wipe out definitely
alb plans for an elimination tour-,
nament with the winner fighting
Schmellng in the spring.

A real battle Is expected Thurs
day night when Willamette uni
versity basketball team plays a re
turn engagement with the Mult
nomah Athletle club at Portland.
The Bearcats defeated the club
men here December 19 by a 24-to-
22 score. Since that time, how
ever, the Multnomah players have
improved to a great extent. They
held Oregon to a close score last
week and only the fact that the
clubmen were not In as good phys
ical condition i as the Webfoots
kept them from taking a win.
Y Monday saw practice resumed
on the Willamette floor . after a
week's -vacation layoff. AU the
regulars with the exception of
Andy Peterson took a work out
during the afternoon. Several first
string; substitutes and a few
freshmen augmented the- first
string leaders. .Peterson will prob
ably rejoin the squad when school
is resumed next week.' He now
has a foot In a cast as the result
of a bad ankle sprain. -
No ' games on the home floor
are scneauiea inis wees; nai next
Saturday night : Willamette will
meet the Orangemen on the Ore
gon State floor at Corvallis. Ob
servers will be surprised if the
Staters fail to defeat the Bearcats,
for they hare one of the strongest
combinations in years and nave
lost but one ofseven starts this
