Four smashes failed to the necessary 10 yards by a half a yard and Laramie immediately punted out of danger. The weather was far from {deal for real football and the players were handicapped by cold hands in handling the ball cleanly.

Two slashing brawls, which went to 10-round draws, a knockout in the third event of the evening and a wrestling match where both men, strange to say, seemed trying to win in the shortest possible time, Made up a snappy athletic zarl at the Elks’ auditorium Tuesday evening: The boxing draws were between Befnie Shannon, the pride of Lara- mie, and Bud Hamilton, flashy Den- ver featherweight, on one hand and Tiger Payne, late of Chicago, ai Speedball Hayden, late of West BC street, on the other. Joe Barnard, 20ast lightweight, accomplished the snockout When he dropped Jimmio Woodhall of Thermopolis in the fourth round of a scheduled’ 10- rounder, F Payne an@ Hayden, two ~ colored boys, proved the, mort exciting ‘mateh of the eventhg. They went at the ot pand aguressivencss owas equalled by the experience and eleverness of Haydet. Both took ‘some heavy blows to body and head and when the final bell rang they were @ couple of tired box fighters. The first time the patr met, Hayden won a rather Qubicus decision. Last night Payne proved that he could stand up Bas | Hayden any time and anywhere, 16 soored the only ‘snockdown of the match in an early cound. Shannon justified the belief of his followers when he took everythi that Hamilton had to offer and came back smiling. The Denver acrap- ber cut locse with all his speed and heavy punches but Shannon always managed to weather the storm and landed tellingly at times himself. WHY WEST Both men were in distresa two or three times but had the stamina to come through. The spectators en- Jjoyed the mill and were equally di- vided on the merits of the two boys. Jimmie Woodhall has been fight- ing in Casper these many years and last night was the first time he succumbed locally to a knockout, Barnard Was too strot and too rough for him and the at- traction.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.—(United Pross)—Considering that it has the finest field in the country to pick from, that it operates under a uys- that does not limit a player to In years of experie: and that it has closer and stricter supervis- fon over the student than any other imatituton in the country, it is rath- ef strange that the Unjted States Military Academy has not met with} greater success in football. ‘What applies to West Point in athletics and football in particular also for the Naval Academy at polis, although it might ap- pear that the athletic officials at Annapolis haven't been as ambitious as the Army officers in getting a yerertat football team on the field. haps it could be said better than the Navy officers have had the am ition, but haven't had the luck in getting good players. Army officers indignantly dispute the charge, frequently heard, that they go out after star athletes and get. football players by recruiting methods. They maintain that the Army wants the athletic type of stu- dent on the theory that the athlete makes the best officer and that foot- ball develops the ability to com- mand and lead men, It seems rather strange, however, from the Navy viewpoint, that so many star athletes prefer the mill- rvice, and it Is g. also, to | through the list of army oftice and find out how many or how few athletes who went through West Point are still in the service. This year tho Army teain @mong its regulars: Garbisch, center of seven years’ varsity exper. star; Hewitt, a six-year back, and Harry Wilson, & five-year star. West Point officials insist, and has within thelr rights also, that the military academy is being operated for.the pu of making officers for the United States army and that its only purpose is to turn out cadets physically and mentally qual- iffed to lead its military forces. They maintain that they should not be expected to eligibility rules more than to requite that all the West Point athletes be up in thelr studies. They point out that the scholastic requirements at West Point are higher than at any other college and that the life of a cadet is much more rigorous an ddisciplin- ed than at any other non-servicé in- stitution, Admitting, for the sake of argu- ment, however, that {t's nobody's business how athletics are conduct: ed at West Point and how players are secured, the point arises—‘with so many good and experienced play. ers, why it is. that West Point don't have more successful teams?” Coaching’ is blamed by some crit- {es. Club spirit is held as being re- sponsible by others, It has also been suggested that the military life does not encourage individual- ity and that Army football teams Play too much like thé drill, Knute Rockne, the great Notre Dame coach and a sincere admirer of West Point, was asked recently haw Notre Dame gucceeded this year in stopping a cadet team that was rated as being potentially stronger and superior, “We boxed them up and stopped Wilson and Hewitt," Rockne said, “stuhdrecher (quarterback) was smart enough to keep the ball out Wilson's territory. When Wilson Was on the offensive, wo got to him before he got started. In the firet half, Hewitt was playing too close to the Hine and couldn't get the proper momentum on his charge, euT irs THE" PRETTIEST PURSE You EVER SAW. TaLWwAYs HEARD Tn the second half, he played too far back and we got to him before he got started.” Another coach, who didn’t care to be named, said that the Army teams never could havo the same kind of rit that a college student has, “Football,” Ke said, “depends a lot on spirit. Coaches always can lash & losing team into a fury by calling upon the honor of their alma mater, They can point out that good old is going down to defeat and that they ought to die for her. Senlors get tired of that kind of stuff after hearing it for three years, but even they respond. Many of the West Point players have had two or three alma maters and a col lege student has only school love to give away. That's the reason so Many coaches are turning down transfers. Recently who was formér Army. officer, i AND UNTIL GOT THIS, 1 NEVER wAaD & DECENT PURSE cadet days and who fs now out of the service, was asked why West Point didn’t get more out o fits teams. “West Point,” he sald, “gets enough physical development a the restrain that football offers. The Army does not depend on a wit team to git students. We co: the academy with cadets if we nev. er had a football team, Cadets hav little time for practice. The schol astic program Is severe and the field work demands too much of the cadets’ time. They don’t get to- wether until a. week or so before the season opens.” There may be something to this point of view, but it would seem that the primary object of an ifist! tution with a lot of spirtt would be to win games, Ojherwise gain should not be scheduled with out- sile teams that would give the idea star fullback during his that footbail was being conducted Representatives a 8 LL RIGHT, OT WRAT QRE YO!
