That is why this is written. Jigoro Kano means the same to the Japanese that the name of Roosevelt means to Americans, and that Jiudo is deadlier than jiu jitsu. Jigoro Kano is the founder of jiudo, the greatest athletic science in the world today. He has millions of fol- lowers. Jiudo has become the na- tional sport of Japan. Jiudo is the new Japanese science of attack and defense which has sup-| planted jiu jitsu everywhere in Japan. | Jiudo has retained the physical prin- ciples of jiu jitsu, but has gone a step farther in adding a code of mental and moral culture. Jiudo literally| champion jiudo expert, he replied that there was no champion. “It would mean murder to determine a champion as they would have to fight | to death,” he said. However, Kano's pupils are graded ac- cording to their proficiency. There are ten grades—Kano, although he is now sixty-two vears old, being rated at the top. There are no ninth grade jiudo men, and there have been only three ex- pert enough to attain the eighth grade in forty vears. This will give you an handle the Brooklyn club. John A.

The best jiudo man ever to visit America was Yamashita, who taught the | late President Rooseveit In the White | House. Yamashita was a sixth-grade | man. . The best exponent of jiudo in the United States today is Ito, now in Los Angeles, who has reached the fifth grade. Taguchi of New York, is a fifth-grade man also. The “black belt” men that we frequently see in this country are only of the primary grade. Tech and Easte means the “doctrine of ylelding.” It is the maximum use of mind and body and their application to the affairs of daily life. It is almost a religion of mental, moral and physical phases. Art of Fighting Unarmed. Jiudo may briefly be defined as the art of fighting unarmed. It aims at| securing victory while apparently giving way to the strength of one’s antagonist, rather than pitting one’s | strength directly against the other. The proper use of the fighting meth- ods of jiudo enables a smaller and| weaker man to successfully combat a | bigger and stronger one. H Such an art has generally been | known as jiu Jitsu, and, indeed, jiudo, owes its birth to the latter. { <u had fallen into decay and dis- reputé when Kano gathered together the ! secrets of the different jiu jitsu schools ! | I and worked out a superior system of his own, and in 1885 he presented jiudo to the " world. Today the exponents of Kano has di- rectly taught 22,000 pupils in his famous school in Tokio, the Kodo-Kwan. It is compulsory in the army and navy. Why There Is No Champlon. Although Jiudo teaches skill, grace, alertness, demeanor, concentration, and courage, jiudo teaches the art of kill- ing—the science of death.

Eastern led 13 to 7 at half time | after being held to a 5 to 3 count in the opening period, and after being played even in the third quarter widened the margin in the final por- tion of the game. {G.

George Washington's quint goes to Newark tonight to play Delaware Col- lege. Something of what the Hatch- etites are up against may be realized when it is stated that Coach Shipley of Delaware told Coach Morse that “My team can beat any other five in the country in its own gym.” In other words, for that particular game both Georgetown and George Washington have adopted not only the one-year migratory rule, but also the one-year residence rule for freshmen. Both will put the migratory rule into effect in their games with other insti- tutions, but will not abide by the freshman rule in any other contest. There will be an'equal division of gate receipts, and all arrangements for the contest conducted on a mutual basis. Both institutions, judging by their efforts to eliminate the possibilities of discontent and argument over any feature connected with the game. seem intent on making the contest a fixture on their schedules. When asked last night about the provisions of the con- tract, Bryan Morse, athletic director at George Washington, said he did not care to affirm or deny any state- ment that might have been made about-the arrangements for the game, but would say that he could see no reason why the two schools should not get along amicably under the new agreement, as the factors which usually are the bones of contention had been entirely eliminated. Accord- ing to Morse there should be a long era of uninterrupted gridiron battles between George Washington and n. After speaking about the Georgetown- George Washington game in a favorable way.

He appeared after Joseph Humphreys, the an- nouncer, had introduced Miss Ann Morgan. whose efforts brought the two fighters together after even Tex Rickard had failed; former Gov. Al Smith, who shared her box, and & group of lightweight fighters. Mitch- ell's reception was started by a band of Milwaukeeans, who gave a college cheer for their man. This seemed to offend a portion of the crowd. The visitor's reception was not at all tre- mendous. But when Benny Leonard appeared in a gray bath robe, his black hair brushed back. glistening in the flood of light which fell upon the ring from the huge reflector. emthusiasm burst all bounds.
