In returning to Vanderbilt, Cody is coming back home. For the past four years he has been head coach at Clemson college in South | Carolina, bui prior to that was as- sistant to McGugin here. Cody will be a year-round coach. He wis a star tackle on Vander- bilt teams before and after the d War. He was elected cap- tain of the 1917 eleven but enter- ed the s ice before the fall, and was unable to serve. Returning to school was honored with the that year’s team, and was mously named all-southern tackle. He also made Walter Camp's al America third team in 1919. His work at Clemson gained Cody wide recognition in the south. There he took a team that for many years had been a pushover every opponent and made out them one of the best elevens in the Carolinas. Three times his team won the South Carolina state championship. for of BIG TEN CHAMP ON GRID AGAIN NEAR NET TITLE CHICAGO, Ill, Feb. 12.—The half-way mark in the Western con- ference basketball championship— mid-year exams—found Northwest- ern in a position to duplicate a rare performance by winning the basketball flag after annexing the football champti Purdue d not a conf sport. y Northwestern was not defeated in football by a Big Ten opponent, and the basketball team won its fi four games easily, downing Michi- gan twice, Illinois and Ohio once.

Most of the crowd didn’t wait for the verdict which, after all, was mere formality. Weaver 1s Kayoed Slugger Weaver started ou’ lik & certain winner in the semi windup. He drove Berkeley before him to a neutral corner and in less than 15 seconds after the fight started nailed him with a right lo the jaw which floored Harry for the count of nine. ‘When Berkeley got to his feet, Weaver covered and waded into him, jar- ring him to: the heels with a right handed punch that drew bleod from Harry's nose. Keeping on top of his man, the Slugger floored him again with a one-two attack. The round was Weaver’s by a wide margin. But the second round proved Berkeley was still dangerous. Wea7- er imixed it freely with him and twice dropped him to his knees. A third time, he dropped Harry, but Ithe latter wasn’t damaged much and as Weaver turned to walk to his corner, Harry arose and charg- ed, almost catching the Slugger off his guard. ‘Weaver floored him a fourth time for the round but, it was plain that Berkeley was more or less stalling for time. Berkeley came out with a rush in the third. They mixed fiercely, Weaver throwing away all his sci- enee to exchange wallops with his opponent. He tried hard for an opening to shoot through a knock- out blow but Burkeley was mov- {ing too fast. As they stood toe to toe near the center of the ring, a smashing right from Berkeley caught the Slugger on the button and the fight was over. Berkeley weighed 145 ‘und Weaver 135 pounds. Special Event Tame Although Zamorra and DeGracia |showed lots of speced and some clever boxing, they failed to please the crowd which came away with the idea that Zamorra carried his fellow Islander along. He seémed to be the better boxer and a few punches that he launched missed DeGracia by the narrowest of margins. The draw was prop- lerly called. Osborne put up a game battle against Nebles, a newcomer, but 11 by the wayside under a gruel- 1g attack in the fourth. Osborne had the better of the second when he floored Nebles but the latter cut him up badly in the third and Al' spent most of the time picking himself up off the floor in that stanza and the first half of the fourth when he gave up the strug- gle. He was on his feet but un- able to continue and Referee Franks gave Nebles the fight on a tech- nical knockout. Sailor Sharkey Back | sailor Sharkey, clever lightweight {who returned to town this week, ued a defi to the winner of ‘Lhe Weaver-Berkeley go. Sammy Nei- son and Dynamite Lawrence did the |same thing, so Berkeley has plenty of competition if he wants to stick around. Judges for the fights were Karl Theile and E. C. Adams. Billy Franks refereed the first two and Dave Housel handled the time- piecec and gong. | - eee - LET Flowers be your valentine.
