Towa was leading at the end of the first half by a count of 17 to 15. The Hawkeyes came back in the second period and piled up a lead that was not overtaken.

Mullins sald today he would sign the articles if he became ‘convinced that it would not be practical! for him to wait any longer for Dempsey to keep his promise. Firpo rent the tip by cable several days ago to watch developments around Madison Square Garden as a big story was to be released soon. Re developments seem to in- dicate that both Rickard and Demp- sey have their summer program well -mapped out, and the champion will make only two eppearances in the ring, Jack Kearns said before leaving for a week in Hot Springs that Demprey would not fight more than two times this summer and that he would take Gibbons and then meet the winner of the Firpo-Wills bout. Rickard does not care to give the reformers any more ammunition by staging too many big fights this summer and he feels that handling three big bouts would be enough work for him. While he has made no announce- mént about the details, it is under- stood that Rickard wants to put on the Dempsey-Gibbons bout in the Polo Grounds the last week of May and that he will try to stage the Firpo-Wil's fight on July the fourth and then wind up the series on Lubor day. Gibbons probably will have at least oe fight in New York before he meets the champion in a return bout. It may be possible to arrange a return ‘match between the St. Paul fighter and Gene Tunney, the Amer- ican. light heavyweight champion. Billy Gibbons, Tunney's manager, denied today that he had refused to consider the match and that he was prepared to listen to terms. If Rickard is unable to get Mike MeTigue to sf-le his troub’e with Joe Jacobs, his manager, he may match Tunney and Carpentier and let Gibbons have the winner as the Frenchman says he wants two fights here before ‘he retires. Eddie Kans, Gibbons’ manager, said tonight that he was willing to sign Gibbons with anyone offered him by the promoters. Wills, from recent statements, seems at last to have gotten wise to the fact that he can't make any money by sitting back and waiting for a Dempsey fight and that he can force the match by going out and taking all the contenders. pend ee, CAGE CHAMPS HERE 10 DRAW DENVER TRIP “with a post season trip to Lara- mie and Denver planned for the Winning team in the City Basket- Vall league, the interest among ‘th players is at fever heat.

Copyright, 1924, the Casper Tribune NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—Wih Willie Ritola relinquishing his project of becoming an American champion and returning to hia native Finland—where he will be kept, even as Hannes Kolehmainen was—trainers, coaches and Amezc!- can Olympic officials are on the lookout for some distance runner to take his place. ‘The woods hereabouts are not full of runners who might even be termed prospects. But there are hopes that some athlete will be de- veloped who will convince the migratory Ritola that he did not take with him to’ Finland’ the art of producing distance champions. In fact at least one runner seems to warrant something more than vague hope. He is J. Verne Booth of Johns Hopkins, who is now be ing groomed for the 3,000, 5,000 and 10,000 meter events at Paris. New York track enthusiasts will remember Booth’s work in the Inter- collegiate cross country champion- ships at VanCortland Park, which he won in masterly fashion. likes extremely long distances, but is ‘sinking his desires in the interest of America’s fortunes in the Olympics. ——s The Olympic committee certainly tried to be national’ in their dis- Booth | and adequately advertised it ts esti- mated that a sum twice as large might have been raised. The fact that last December marked the twentieth anniversary of the inception of Lake Carnegie was duly noted at Princeton when the studefits returned from their holiday recess. The artificial water course was constructed in 1903 but it was not until 1911 after some years of experimentation in aquatics that Princeton began to figure in the intercollegiate rowing world. The building of Lake Carnegie did more for college rowing than anything that has ever happened in the sport. ‘The development ig crews for rowing over comparative- ly short distances by an institution of Nassau’s athietic prominence, gave almost at once a néw signifi- cance to the syster: of so-called preliminary regattas rowed In term time and upon college waters, con- verting Iate April and the month of May into a season of regattas hard- ly less colorful than the late June races on the Thames at New Lon- don and the Hudson at 'Pough- keepsie.

BOXING GAME IS NO PLACE FOR IDEALISM, EUGENE CRIQUI SAYS PARIS, Jan. 12.—(United Press)— Idealism may be great stuff for the copy books and after-dinner speak- ers, but it gathers no T-bone steaks in the boxing world. Witness the sad case of Eugene iui, war-maimed poilu of France and former featherwe'ght champion of the world. Battling Idealism has knocked him out and taken from him his European championship, title. Criqui voluntarily lost his title rather than stall or fool the boxing fans. He had been challenged of- ficially by Edouard Mascart, fore- most contender, throuzh the French boxing Federation, but when. the time limit for accepting the defijwas up, Criqu! was under doctors’ orders not to fight for six months because of a broken hand. So through his manager, Bob Eu- deline, Criqui abandoned his titles to Mascart without even asking for a delay because of his crippled hand. “It wouldn't be sportsmanlike to stall for time or enter the ring un- said Criqui. “I'll go after the title again when my hand is healed.” It will be recalled ‘that Criqut broke ‘his bread-winning left hand when, fighting’ Henri Hebrans, the Belgian flash, for the benefit of the Moose Fight Story Told by ‘Game Warden ROSEBURG, Ore.,—Jan 12— (United Press)—Fight between two bull moose, a sight rarely seen in the wilds of Oregon, is described by Art Fish, deputy game warden, who has just returned from an extensive trip through the! rough- est part of Douglas county. He was in the vicinity of Lake Tahkenitch when he heard -in’ a dense thicket that. fringes the marshy, shore a terrific bellowing. Fish crept cautious'y in the di rection of the sounds, keeping his rifle. ready. As he neared the spot splashing greeted him. Peer- ing through a screen of swamp, grass, he saw two monster moose. The enraged animals were knee déep in water, ‘charging each’ oth- er and clashing horns, The struggle kept up for twenty min- utes, the beasts getting gradually deeper and deeper into the water, until they were forced to swim, Fish: went out to the bank. When the animals saw him they made away down stream-fo rv getting the fight in the newer danger from the presence of man.

MESS JUST FIGHT FOR CONTROL; BIG FACTIONS CLASH By HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—(United Press}—Many wild and harsh words have been thrown back and forth by the two factions involved in the now famous “Paddock case.” But for the fact that a great ath lete, perhaps the greatest sprinter of all times, was in danger of being bar- red from running ih the Olympic games, the real cause of all the fire- words behind the. Paddock - case would not be worch mentioning. Politics are of little interest te the followers of track und field athletics, boxing or baseball. Battles for ex- ecutive control of sports are not of interest except in cases where the public might be deprived of enter- tainment or amusement. Baseball is not vitally interested in the fight between Commissioner Landis and Ban Johnson. As long as the fans ‘see good baseball for fornia, that Paddock “was on leave”| ; “ thelr money, they are not concerned It was also held that, Paddock was fabtrecn aeeshthcesion: payee with the executive end of the busi-| not. college athlete, In that he was ness. But, for instance, if the fight between Landis and Jéhnson shoula come toa point where Babe Ruth might he barred from the game, the fans would be vitally concerned. | The same point san be applied to the theater business. Movie fans are not vitally interested in what company makes the money out of Rudo!ph Valentinu, Put when a bar- tle between business interests keeps him’ off the ‘screen, they natural feel concerned. As longsas a boxing fan feels sure that he will get the seat’ for which he paid. that the contest ‘will’ be satisfactorily staged and that the rules will be observed, he has no more than a casual interest in com- missions that govern the sport. But when something might be done that would bar Jack Dempsey from fight- ing, the situation would be changed. These examples can be applied to the Paddock case, wh'ch {is nothing more than the crisis in a movement of a rival bedy to overthrow the jurisdiction of the Amateur Athletic Union. 7 Drawn up on one side In the politi. cal fight is the A. ‘A. U. which, for more than th'rty years, has been ac- cented as t governing body of am- ateur sports in the United States. In the other corner, waging the fight against the A. A. U., is the Nationa? Collegiate Athletic Association, in which Elwood 8. Brown of the Y. M. C. A. is the dominating influence. Brown, it is charged by the A. A. U., has been trying to set up a-na- tional revolt against the A. A. U., and ‘some evidence has been secu: that he has sought toiget large num- _bers of prominent athletes to Te- nounce their A. A.

A. ruling that play- ers may not write about tennis will work, a hardship upon certain tennis players, whereas were the Boxing Commission to follow suit a fright- ful hardship would be worked upon the fighters? Guess again. “Bob Zupkke” says a University of Illinois publicity lyricist “would be the last man in the world’ to assert he was the best football coach in the conference—but take.a look at his record.” The idea being the waste of time, words and note paper in claiming a self-evident fact. Yet, generally speaking: It's not the man who always wins Who:gains the victor’s bay, There are things that count—aside Deny? it: those’ who: may, “Zupkks continues the panegy- rist, “hasn't piled up his victories by playing soft schedules.” True enough. Yet a saying is attributed to Gil Dobie that ten years from now fans will be so impressed by the re- cord that‘ they'll never ask who the winning team met. fused to give h'm permission to go, on the grounds that it had been asked by the American Olympic Committee to discourage interna tional competition last summer and devote all its efforts to preparation for the Olympic games this year. as a representative of the University of Southern California, with the per- mission of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and that the A. A. U. had no jurisdiction over col- lege athletes. The A. A. U. then suspended Pad- dock. It based its action on infor mation obtained from Paris that the “University of Paris’ were | being conducted by a club under the d'rection of a Y. M. C.

A. U., and all the athletes who com- peted against Paddock were sus- pended. Then the fight started. William 'C. Prout, president of the A. A. U., charged that Brown de- liberately arranged the Paris, meet to. get up a ‘test case against the A. A. U., and that ‘he “persuaded. Pad- dock to volunteer for the test. Prout claims that Paddock said in an Inter- view in Paris:that he was only being used as a test case and that he later wrote the same thing In a magazine article. ‘The main point in the controversy hinges on the contention of the Na- tional Collegiate A. A. that\the A. A. U, has no supervision over the col- lege fied and that Paddock didn't need permission to go to Paris. But— The International Amateur Athle. tic Federation regards the A. A, U. as the ruling body of amateur ath- letics and its constitution provides that American athletes competing in foreign countries must bring with them the certification of approval by the A. A. U. “Instead of waging a campaign of villifieation and _m'srepresentation against the A. A. U., it would be the manly thing for Brown to go to the International Federation and ask that the rule be changed’ and that ‘the A. A. U. be relieved of its power,”” Prout said.

If the case is carried to a county adjoining Marion, ‘the governor will have a better fighting chance in the trial.
