Ohio State, with accommo- dattons for 7,000, has the largest bas- ketball crowds in the conference. Il- linois and Iowa seat five thousand. Northwestern can take care of four thousand.

Withdrawn from the| “Big Ten,” the Wolverines mainta‘n-| ed an isolated position in sport and} were forced to invade the east for real competition in football, baseball| and track.

Va., Feb. 24 —Earl (Greasy) Neale, former big league baseball player and now foot- ball coach of the University of Vir- ginia, played seven years in the Na tional league with defective eyesight, according to an eye specialist whom he recently consulted. According to this specialist Neale’s left eye 1s use- less without the use of glasses, which he {s now wearing. When Neale was informed of this condition he told the examining phys!- clan, “I have been playing ball with these eyes for 12 years,” and received the following reply: “You have not—you have been playing with only one of them.” His recently discovered disability , will not interfere with his profession as a college coach.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—Billy Gibson, manager of boxers, today was considered the biggest factor in the return last night of the American light heavyweight boxing crown to Gene Tunney, Greenwich Village idol, who was awarded the decision after 15 furious rounds with Harry Greb of 'Pitts- burgh. Gibson, as Tunney's manager, was hailed as the individual who took the wind out of “the windmill” as Greb is characterized because of his rotat- ing method of boxing. By worrying Greb before the battle and causing him to be goaded by the Madison Square Garden crowd, some think Gibson caused the Pittsburgher to lose much of his aggressiveness. Most of the newspaper critics, | nevertheless, asserted that the cham- pion should not have been uncrowned | —that at least he should have been | given a draw. The crowd, the ma-| jority anti-Greb, greeted the decision | of the judges with mingled acclaim | and disapproval. The fight. by round: ROUND ONE—The opening round was preceded by a prolonged confer- ence over Greb's ring tactics, claimed by Tunney’s .supporters as unfair. The champion took the aggressive | at the tap of the gong and cut loose with a flurry of ‘rights and lefts to Tunney's head, They both mixed willingly but landed few telling blows. ROUND TWO—Greb bewildered the challenger with his whirlwind at- tack. He rocked Tunney's head from side to side with a succession of rights and lefts. The challenger missed most of his attempts to land on his shifty opponent. ROUND THREE—Greb was cau: tioned by the referee for holding. He shot over several left jabs to the jaw! and cuffed Tunney about the head| as he danced in and out of the chal- lenger's reach. NOTICE To all ladies new panel pleating from New York, Come and see. Modern Steam Pleating 137 N. Jackson ROUND FOUR—They mixed at a furious pace, Greb landing three| blows to one, but Tunney twice shot In jolting lefts to the face. The chal- lenger forced the fighting for the first time and drove Greb to @ corner with a body attack. Greb's mouth was slightly cut and blood trickled | from a scratch over Tunney's left) eye, a8 a result of a mixup. ROUND FIVE—The champion bounded about in characteristic fashion swinging both fists like flails, but Tunney seized an opening to shoot home a stiff right to the ribs. They were mixing at a fast pace as the bell closed the round. ROUND SIX—Greb forced Tunney to miss repeatedly and landed a hard right to the jaw without drawing a reply. Tunney jabbed lightly with his left and absorbed a stiff punch to the ribs. ROUND SEVEN—Greb set the pace with a rushing attack to Tun- ney's head and body. He opened a light cut over the challenger’s right eye and shook him with a series of rights and lefts to the jaw. Tunney seemed baffled by his rival's shifting tactics. ROUND EIGHT—Greb snapped the challenger’s head back with several right swings. Hoe cut loose with a flail like attack that drove Tunney to the ropes but was booed by the crowd in the belief that he was holding. ROUND NINE—Greb shot in @ terrific blow to the body sending Tunney back on his heels, but was again cautioned for holding. Tunney ran into a flurry of blows as he tried to fight back and was severely pun- ished by the champion as they mixed at close quarters. A fresh cut was opened under Tunney's right eye during the melee. ROUND TEN—Tunney upset the} champion for a moment with one of the few sustained attacks he had shown. The Pittsburgher came right back, however and traded stiff biows | to the body. Greb pumelled his rival about the head as the round closed. ROUND ELEVEN—Tunney ap- peared to lose confidence under the| rain of blows let loose by Greb and offered little resistance to the cham- pion's aggressiveness. Greb peppered his opponent about the head and body, occasionally shooting in damag- ng rights to the chin and ribs. montished in emphatic terms for fail- ure to break from a_ clinch. He blocked Tunney’s drives for the body jand punished the challenger with | hard swings to the head. The referee went to Greb's corner as the round |ended to repeat his warning against | the champion’s tactics. | ROUND THIRTEEN—Greb _con- tinued to force the fighting, driving Tunney about the ring with rights and lefts that landed with damaging effect. Tunney’s attempts to re- tallate were futile and in exchanges at close quarters the champion landed twice as often as the challenger. ROUND FOURTEEN — Tunney sent the champion to the ropes with ROUND TWELVE—Greb was ad-| a right that landed flush on the jaw. sive attack that apparently weakened | the champion.
