THE heavyweight championship of the world has changed bands five
times in battles that were beaagde mills for ths title. Corbett
beat Sullivan. Fitzsimmons beat Corbett. Jeffries beat Roby Bob
Fits. Johnson beat JeffMee aad Willard smeared the big Ace of
Bghdse. There have been other skirmishes with fellows who "Inherited ”
tha crown, like Peter Maher and earn of two others, but they mean nothing
IB rtag history.
These Ave championship bouts aggregate a total of 97 rounds. It
Ml Corbett SI rounds to defeat SoJllvan. Fitzsimmons devoted 14 innings
to Oouquering Corbett The Boilermaker Jeffries punched Hit*, for 11
*«UUda before be could win. Not on til the fifteenth session was Jack
Johnson able to crush the burned out Jeffries. Johnson stood op against
Willard for to rounds. The average route for a heavyweight championship
battle which crowned anew king is 17 rounds.

Foe for Michigan
ANN ARBOR. Mich.. Feb 20 —It
la net likely that Northwestern uni
versity wtU meet the University of
Michigan tn footbnU nest fall. Tbe
only way to m*ke room for North
western would be to add a week to
the season, making the game a btf
a I tract 100. Should the Methodist*
be as classy as they ware last rail,
that would be a fine arrangement
Asa matter of fact, bowevsr. th*
examination* has* played havoc
with the Purple gridders. and hardly
a corporal's guard of atara remain
unblighted by a faeulty baa.
It ta almost certain that North
western wUi be weak next year, and
there ta ao reason why Michigan
should make tta oonferencs atart by
picking on n cripple.
