TUESDAY, MARCH 34, 1922. GASPER CAGEAS IN LIGHTWEIGHT rld Results By Leased Wire Che Casper Daily Cribune 2 D CHANCES AT LARAMIE ARE. G00 Casper’s star is in the ascendancy and unless unfavorable conditions arise the local team is almost certain to get into the semi-finals in the basketball contests which are being staged at Laramie during the present week under the aus- pices of the University of Wyoming to decide the state bas- ee Bed emai ral yet lee hata ketball championship. The, changed aspect for the local team which was thought to have little chance in the championship race is due to the fact that the Casper team war placed in group B, a classification that is made according to weight. In this lightweight class Casper will be pitted against the Big Piney, Burns, Cheyenne, Glenrock, Greybull, Hanna, Kemmerer, Lusk, Lyman, Pine Bluffs, Laramie High Preps, Rawlins and Sunrise teama, ‘The leaders of this group should eas- ty be the Casper, Cheyenne, Glenrock, Greybull, Laramie and Rawlins teams. Casper has defeated Cheyenne decis- ively and should have little trouble with the Glenrock and Laramie teams. ‘The teams that Casper will have the hardest battle with will no doubt be the Greybull and Rawlins teams and the championship of the lightweight class will no doubt Ne between these teams. In the class A or heavier group, Basin, Buffalo, Carpenter, Cowley, Douglas, Evanston, Lander, Lingle, Manville, Newcastle, Powell, Rock honors. This fight should lic between Cowley, Rock Springs, Sheridan and ‘Worland. ‘The games will start this afternoon at Laramie. The first lino-up of teams was perfected at drawings which ‘were held this morning. A team will be eliminated as soon as it loses two F 5 i : Buffalo vs. Powell. GROUP B. Hanna vs. Rawlins. Kemmerer vs. Glenrock. Sunrise higgtbpegtnat High. Casper vs. Big ¢ Greybull vs. Pine Bluffs. Lyman vs. Cheyenne. Burns vs. Lustt, The semi-finals tm ‘all probabitity will be played off starting Thursday and the class champion team will be known Friday. Then the winning team of each class will play for the state championship. Under the present lineup it is pos- sible that two Central Wyoming teams will fight it out and there is a good ehance that Worland and Casper will be there close to the finish of the race. In such a contest all dope favors the northern Wyoming champions and Worland should emerge the state champion squad unless the going against the heavier teams proves too strenuous for the Big Horn Basin ag- gregations.

' GREB DEFEATS TOMMY GIBBONS KEEPS AIR FILLED WITH MITTS NEW YORK, March 14.—Harry Greb, a young man from RIBUN PUNCH, SMASHI IN IRIS BOUT Battling Kid Ross of Chihuahua, Mexico, the man who tackles Speedball Hayden at the Iris theater tonight in the main event of a sport card which will be staged by local sportsmen, is a real two-fisted knockout artist as shown by| his record.

Both boys are trained to the min-| ute. From workouts yesterday Kid Ross looks the best, but Hayden's fighting heart in all probability will pull him through what promises to be one of the hardest battles he has ever bad.

The two men, light heavyweight pugilists by profession, were billed in| udvayce as staging their meeting as a! prelude to tho better man entering into active relations with William Har rison Dempsey, now champion mauler of this universe. After last night's social affair, attended by the flower ot this city’s smarter set, there was not much talk of elther man being sent into the ring to give Mr. Dempsey a Roman holiday. Not in many a month has a crowd of more cosmopolitan makeup or more social prominence witnessed two athletes swinging gloves at each other. The garden was simply A mass of social leaders, bankers, and policemen, and a list of those present would read like the social register. Mr. Greb was acclaimed the winner because he used both hands in wins mill attack while Mr. Gibbons de- pended on finess for his points. Greb was wild, but he swung more often and the percentage of landing a blow now and then was ail in his favor. Gibbons landed at times, but the most of the tins he was having trouble in avoiding the tornado of gloves hurle toward his marcelled head. He never got a change to launch his attack to the body, his best stock in trade, and on the showing made Greb was with out question the headliner for the evening.

DETROIT, Mich., March 14—Or ganization of a “Big Eight” confer- ence, patterned after the “Big Ten” or Western conference, expected to be completed in Chicago Saturday, March 18, will have a tendency to increase interest in athletics at smaller universities and to check the spread of the “professional” evil in such schools, in the opinion ot Charlies L. Bruce of Detroit, one of the instigators of the new confer- ence idea, Mr. Bruce graduate manager of athletics at the University of Detroit ig a member of the conference that is drafting proposed rules for the new organization. With him on the committee are Coach K. K. Rockne of Notre Dame and William Coffey, graduate manager of Marquette uni- versity. Their proposed set of rules will be acted upon at the Chicago mecting, to be attended by represen- tatives of each of the eight schools it is proposed to place in the organiza- tion at the start. The schools are University of Detroit, Mhrquette, Notre Dame, Michigan Agricultural college, Wabash, De Pauw, Univer- sity of Cincinnati and University of Kentucky. As tentatively drafted the pro. posed rules for the new conference follow closely those governing the “Big Ten.” They include the tresh- man and three year rules and re- quire 15 hours of scholastic work on the part of athletes.

It also would in- crease interest in all college sports because of the school rivalry that would be created.” After the new conference is or- ganized it is possible the Universi ties of North and South Dakota will be added. Mr. Bruce said, officials of each school having expressed a de- sire to enter. CUBS FORGED TO DOUBLE LABORS Defeats by Two Coast Clubs Spurs Killifer’s Clan to Hard Work. Vernon. eyes.
