There was no stalling. Plenty of amateur helped. Lots of real cleverness was dis- played. With jaws set and eyes fixed upon the prizes which await the victors at the close of the tournament next Thursday night, every boy on the boxing card cut and slashed, blocked and coyered up, took and gave plen- ty of punishment, In many cases the bouts ended with the number of points so even that a hair line de- cision ty the judges was necessary. All of the verdicts were popular with the majority, however, and there was little booing and hissing of the mén elected to pass judgment upon the efforts of the fighters. Three wrestling matches were run off during the evening. Two of them went the full limit of seven minutes to a decision, and the other came to an abrupt close at the end of one minute and eighteen second of grap- pling. The second plate of red pepper will be dished up to the fans tonight when another flock of ambitious young glafiiators pit their skill against each other. Twelve boxers were carried forward into the sem!- finals last night, and indications are that hearts will swell with pride in more than twelve of the boys after the curtain rings down on tonight's fray. With the exception of a comedy scream in which a young Filipino lad whose lack of knowledge of the game of give and take was deplorable, was pitted against a man far too large and far too experienced, every bout was evenly matched or aa near so es a battle of amatuers may be made. In the affair in question Pan- cho Villa failed to live up to the precedent set for him by the famous Mexican outlaw and the little brown man from his ewn country who holds the world’s flyweight title, and took a horrible pasting from H, C. ‘Warden who was finally called off in the third round to seve the good na- tured swarthy skinned lad from further visitations of the leather mit. In the opening bout of the evening. Fay Crater of the Pearl Whites beat Glen Harlow of the Bogan club on points. Crater fs not the fighter that hjs brother Vincent, who made such an impressive showing last year, is but he showed too much experience for Harlow, The latter was game and took a lot of punishment but was clearly outboxed in every round. Ed Haygood, of the C. B. and Q. team and Jess McCash furnished many a moment of concentration for the judges, for both boys were full of fight and ready to mix whenever within two feet of each other, Hay- good's weight finally wore the other boy down and although McCash was still far from groggy, he let down enough toward the end to make the decision in favor of the Burlington oy @ fair one. Carl Rundin and Alic Foster put up @ whale of a battle in the tourna ment of last year, They met again last evening and after one round of lively footwork and windre{ll mits, Foster aiected to retire after a hard right to the stomach. The winner represented the C. B, & Q. aggrega- tion, and the vanquished gladiator wore the colors of the Standard team. So close was the Francis Rouselle of and Howard McGuirk Bogan Plumbing team that the judges were forged to render a draw-decision and both boys were carried forward to the semi-fing They fodght in the flyweight class. At 116 pounds, present in one tn the form of extreme gtockiness and the other in the form of unusual height, Earl Peck, the boy who carae forte The ANVIL chorus {s loud in its praises of this hat, designed especially for young men and displaying the lively spring colors. One of many new Gordon styles. eagerness s between B. & Q bout the C. The smart style and becoming contours of this hat cannot be washed away by the first rain-storm—the quality protects you. GORDON HATS closest to the ground imanaged to ‘earn ths decision of the judgos at the close of the three reunds. Tulse tall epponent, Chester Sherrod, of the Burfington team, was game but could ni Withstand the repeated rushes of fis stockier opponent. Peck took the decision at the end of the three rounds, and added another point to the score of the Legion, “Handling himself with the grace and confidence of a champion, and using both hands swiftly and surely to body and head, Marvin Wilson of the Yesness team, proved to be the class of the evening when he dispos- ed of heavy Bud Craigh of the Pearl Whites In one round. Craigh sank to the floor unable to rise again just as the bell sounded and shook his head sadly when asked if he wished to continue, Witson gave away nine pounds to his opponent and disposed of him easily, Pretty tough for Bill Rissler, With a knockout safely tucked away un- der his right arm in his battle with Rex Adams in the light heavyweight division Rissler used the poor judge- ment to slap a hard right to Mr. Adams short ribs, while the latter was lying peacefull upon the can- vas about to breath his last. Referee Ted Madden promptly awarded the fight to Adams on a foul, thus ellm- inating Rissler who is an unusually peppy boy and would probably go far in his class. Rissler fought for the Legion, and Adanis under the in- signia of the Pearl Whites. Fred Valdez of the Bogans knew a ttle too much for Earl Schmidt of the Burlington team in the welter weight class, and administered a terrible lacing to the latter aspirant and easily won the decision at the end of the three frames, Robert Jones of ,the Standard fighting in the heavyweight divi- sion has style all hisown. It proved effective against Jim Walker of the Yesness team however, and earned him the decision. Walker's right seemed paralyzed, Marvin Pyle of the Yesness club and Billy Logan, a Pearl White mit man, put up a pretty exhibition. Pyle was given the decision but the margin was not large, Both of the boys got in some sweet punches and both were trying every minute. Logan looked out of condition and was short winded In the last round. In first class shape\he would make it interesting for anyone in his class. Plye could stand a little more train. ing himself. Mickey Stanton of the Legion and pClint Lester of the Yesness club put up one of the best bouts of the card. Lester won the first round, scoring a knockdown, but caught one on the chin near the end of the second and went down for a six count. He wae still slightly groggy in the third and Stanton took the aggres- sive and the decision. Stanton is slated to meet Freddy Valdez tonight or tomorrow night and the battle will be a hot one, Stanton !s the harder hitter but he has not the speed of Valdez. In the wrestling matches Bill Haines of the Pearl Whites took the measure o- H. Greunberg of the Legion team !n one minute and eighteen seconds. W. A. Demmon, of the Standard wrestling in the 145 pound class managed to stay on top for the greater part of the seven minutes of grappling and carried away the decision over C. Stephen- son of the Burlingtons. ‘The final wrestling event and curtain flopper found A, R, Kirkpatrick victorious at the end of seven minutes over Orion Neff, of the Pearl Whites. The winner wore the colors of the Standard, E. C. "Ted" Madden did the hon- ors Gs referee and will continue in this capacity throughout the tour- nament. Judges werd Mike Grant and Dr. M. J.

(United Preas Sports Editor) NEW YORK, March 17. — "oot ball needseno defender. It can stand trial any time on the evidence that can be presented against it. It ig the saviour of athletics in the educa- tional scheme and it {s generally a mitted fact that physical develop- ment is one of the biggest factors in education,” Knute Rockne, Notre Dame football coach’ said recently. Rockne, who is also a member of the faculty at Notre Dame, suggest- ed that critics of football would change their minds about the evils of commercialism if they were per- mitted to see the financial reports of same of the big universities, ‘So much money is needed for oth- er things essential to the educational scheme that it would be impossible to promote any kind of minor ath- letics or gymnasium work !f football didn't pay the bills for‘all athletics,” Rockne said. Recently a report of the financial committee of Princeton came to hand in which the committee report- ed that $6,000,000 would be necessary to finance the urgent demands of the university. Some of the needs stress- ed by the committee were: Completion of new chapel, $400,- 000; to supplement Carnegie Pension Fund $1,000,000; to provide faculty Insurance fund, $250,000; two new dormitories, $675,000; maintenance of scholarships $500,000; Triangle club building $800,000; housing for junior faculty, $125,000; new library, $1,- 600,000; maintenance of laboratories, $1,750,000. Th committee admitted that there was yo known way of raisihg such a huge sum of money, although the need of every item was urgent. You can readily realize what a chance athletics would have if the athletic association stepped'in and asked for a-malf million dollars to promote intercollegiate and intra+ mural athletics and to maintain a gymnasium, tennis.courts, baseball, soccer and football fields, a hockey rink and a basketball court. There probably would be no athletics, ‘With the exception of a few dys- peptic faculty members and some alumni who couldn't have made the slee club team in their undergrad- uate days mo one seems to be kick- ing about football now.

Everyone, seems to be worrled but the Babe. “Tm_.15. pounds overweight,” he sald a few. days ago, “and I'll be overweight when the season starts. I made a mistake last year in trying to work off too much welght last spring and I fell sick. I didn’t feel right all season. “This year I’m going to uso some Judgment. I'm going to leave some- thing for the-sun to work on-when it gets good and hot. I can play ball with extra poundage. . All I need is to have my batting eye and the usé of my arms unt!l the weather gets hot. “I could be a fat old man and still ‘score a lot of runs if the pitchers continne to walk me as they have been doing.” The Babe said he had an ambition to lesd the league again In batting and to make a new homerun record. “I never felt better than I do this year,” he sald, “I haven’t the mental hazard\or the strain that I had in the past two years. ‘There is nothing now to keep me from going out and playing baseball every day. I don't have to worry about other things. You know, I was afraid two years ago that I was slipping and I got worried when I looked over my bank balance. Now I'm fixed so that I have no worries about what will hap. pen to us when I do slip for good.
