When all is said and done, added, “material is about 70 per cent of the success of any eleven.” Most coaches to whom the writer submitted this estimate were in- clined to hand themselves a bigger per cent than Knute allowed.

Your old friend and the man who was responsible for last season's dis- tinct success, J. B. Griffith has been appointed as chairman of this year's tournament committee. He is al- ready laying plans to make the event the greatest of its kind since the cus- tom was inaugurated and to furnish four nights of healthy exercise and fun for the contestants and four great evenings of super-entertain- ment for the onlookers. The exact date for this year’s con- test 1s still a matt er of conjecture, but March 15 as a tentative date hits the nall s ron the head as pos sible proposed to create two dis fighting classes t year. ss No. 1 will be made up of boys young men who are strictly amateurs and who have never par- ticipated in any athletic event in which they received financial re-tm- bursement, Class No. 2 will be called the semi-pro class and will be open to boys who may have engaged in one or two professional battles but who are amateurs fn all but the strict sense of the word. | This step will probably be deemed | necessary by the committee because | of the number of excellent young | boxers wha became professionals when they accepted offers to fight on Arkeon Athletic club cards here last spring and summer.

This official statement completely refutes what University officials termed “an absurd story” that the Jersey was being kicked around the Symnasium locker room. Some time before Grange left the University to become a professional, an enthusiastic fan suggested that “Red's jersey be preserved in the Illinois trophy room, but the idea never was rerlously considered, the | authorities stated. However, some sports writers took it for granted that the jersey would be preserved of the injuries received when he at- tempted to hurdle the line in an cif-tackle play. He was thrown with a thud heard all over the fittd, and the Giants were penalized fif- teen yards for roughing. Nevers re- mained in the game until the end of the period, attempting two forward passes. Both fafled and he punted out of danger. The-only.score came in the final period when McBride of Syracuse plunged through center to the goal Une, latter kicking goal. Straight football featured the game, Neither team gained in the first period, although both teams trie: the aerial, line bucking and punting routes. * In the second period the Glan:s forced thelr way deep into the All- Star's territory but ‘were stopped on the 17-yard line. Shortly after- wards Nevers took time out after his hurdliing attempt. He punted out of danger and the half ended with the ball on the Giants’ 40. yard lne. The Giants again penetrated the All-Stars’ 20-yard Hine {n the third period when a punt by White of Oklahoma went out of bounds on the 15-yard line, In the tinal period; however, the Glarty forced the ball up the field to the 10-yard Ine, where two off- side penalities and McBride's line plunge placed it across the goal Une. The game was the second that the All-Stars, captained by Nevers, have played here. The lineup and summary: Jacksonville All-Stars (0) Kendrick, Texas A. and M. . Willams, Florida Ellinger, Army ~ H.

Nothing pertaining to an in dividual athlete ever has been dis- played In the trophy room. In years Past, suggestions to honor famous athletes have not been considered. “There was a movement to pre- serve the shoe which Bobbie Fletcher wore when he kicked: his famous field goal against Ohio in 1919, there. by winning the Big Ten football ghampionrhip for Illinois. Friends of Harold Osborne, the world’s cham- pion high jumper and all around ath- lete, thought he might be honored.

A lot of papers, in fact to be exact, all of them, have a certsin time to be issued, regardless of the news. If nothing’ has hap- pened that day or that week they have to come out just the same.

They wait until they get a good man and then electrocute him. They don’t have a set time or custom, and that is the way the BULL’S EYE is oper- ated.
