Stringham In Debut Great interest is being shown in the first professional showing of Jack Stringham, -Cougar football foot-ball and boxing star for the past three years. Stringham is scheduled sched-uled to go six rounds with Max Young, a veteran who should be a hard test for the newcomer. Stringham has won the A. A.

Young has been having his best fights lately at the Park, and despite Stringham's reputation of beng a slugger, rules a slight favorite among the local fans.

Defending Champions Collegiate tennis will open in Provo next Friday when the Uni versity of Utah racketeers come here to play the Young university Cougars. It will be the first meet of the year for both squads. Coach Fred "Buck" Dixon has had his netters working out for the past two weeks despite the cold, windy weather. He reports good progress, but the tennis here for this first meet will not be as polished as it will later on in the season. Booth "Vs. Bennion The competition will still be there even if the polish is lacking lack-ing though. First singles, pitting Male Booth, captain of the Cougars, Cou-gars, against Dick Bennion, captain cap-tain of the Utes, will undoubtedly be a bitterly fought, tight match. Last year Male met the Redskin captain a number of times, but never did he come out the winner. In one meeting Booth had a 3-1 lead in the deciding set. but the greater experience and brilliance of the Salt Laker proved too much. After a summer of competition com-petition , in tournaments all over tne west. Booth is certain that he can finally turn the tables on the Indian captain. Utes Favored Unless Booth can upset the dope and defeat Bennion, the Utes must be favored to win the event. Although Al-though the Cougars are the defending de-fending champions of the state, they are much weaker than they were last year and the Redskins are much stronger . The only player of note that the Utes lost through graduation was Dan Freed, number two singles sing-les player. However t'hey picked up two or three sophomores who should more than replace the graduate. On the other hand the Cougars lost George Stoddard and Kirk Stephens, who made three points in every meet last season. Bill Pardoe will likely be at the number two singles position for the "Y" and he will team with Booth for the frTst doubles assignment. as-signment. The doubles match featuring fea-turing Booth and pardoe against Bennion and Jack Hardy will be , one of the top matches of the day. Other Cougar players are Gor- don Snow, last year's captain; Grant Holt, three-year letterman. Grant Hansen and Chuck Fletcher of last year's squad and Howard Ballard, letterman of two years ago.
