New York, Aug. 7.
IT was officially announced to-day that Primo Carnera, deposed Italian heavyweight cham- pion of the world, will meet Paulino Uzcudun, Basque Wood-Chopper, in Buenos Aires, on Octo- ber 20.
The match will be the third clash between the two. Carnera having won decisions over the Basque in 1931 and 1933. In the latter contest the giant Italian annexed the European heavy- weight championship from the Spaniard,

The rapidly-aging Spaniard, who is 35 years old, has to his credit a decision over Baer, garnered in 1931, at Reno, in a 20- round boat.
He recently displayed that he still had plenty left by hold ing Max Schmeling, former champion, to a draw in 12 rounds at Barcelona.
*He has remained in Europe for the past two years and the trip to Buenos Aires, should he make it, would be his first inva→ sion of larger arenas since 1932-
Uzcudun still has a score to settle with the Italian. In 1926, he annexed the European heavyweight championship by defeating Erminio Espalla, an Italian, in Barcelona. Since Camera took a de- cision over him, in 1933, however, the Italian has been considered the European titlist.
Uzcudun has not fought since his last appearance against Schmeling. United Press.
