Jeffries, former world champion heavyweight; Tom Jones, manager of three former world cham pions, and scores of other ring cele britles, summoned us witnesses In the case, were convulsed with laugh ter as the trial progressed. Attorneys for Fuente and WInsor brought forth laus*ter that rocked the courtroom when they questioned James Gordon, manager of the Amer ican Legion stadium, where the Ful ton-Fuente bout was held. Gordon testified he saw Fuente at the start of the fight, swing at Fulton and miss and then saw Fuente hit the St. Paul plasterer pugilist two glancing blows and Fulton went down and out. “Well, would you rail that s. prize fight—now remember, these defend ants are charged with conducting a prize fight?" demanded the Fuente WInsor attorneys. Gordon stuttered: “That’s a hard one to answer,” Gordon replied, as a gale of laughter shook the court room . Cards Tackle Islanders Todav •f Sixteen men and Coach Adams left today for Grand Island, where they will engage the Grand Island college in a Thanksgiving windup to the season. Grand Island has built up an enviable record on the gridiron this fall and will probably add the Cardinals to its string of victories. The Omabans will be without the services of their husky captain, Jack Bolzendahl, but will light their hard est to push over a score on the Is landers. The line will be the big source of worry to the Cards, as Meek is the only man now in the line weighing over 170. If the light Omaha forwards can succeed in piling up the Island ers' line smashes, the game may turn out differently ^han tile dope Indi cates, especially if, as Bill Bay says, every team has at least one good game in Its system. Coach Adams will probably start N’elson and Mead at ends, Krogh and Theleen at tackles, Meek and Blissard at guards, Bleieh at center, Caldwell at quarter. Sterner at full and Kllas and Slater at halves. Prather, who is still carrying a bad shoulder, will probably be kept out of the starting lineup, to be sent In If things get too hot.
