School of mines and Cactus club met In
tlif first game of the evening, but the

the first time the mining students were

An analysis of the. score of the big
K.im shows the Higfe practically pre
sented the victory to the "Y," four of
Hie latter's points being; scored on foul
baskets. In all. seven fouls were called
on the High school and only two on the
"i M O A. The many penalties against
tlir Hich school ran be attributed to
i t'r fact that the guards were taking no
hances on the Y M. C. A. forwards

H-mmett Blo k for Texas and Mesi
ner which encouraged their supporters
to look for a walk away. Al Tatum
found the basket right after the ganfe
got under way. A minute later he
added another and there was great en
thusiasm on the part of the school sup
porters. "Hi" had three field baskets
before "Y" got Its first tally, a point
on a penalty throw, seven minutes after
the game had started. "If I" added an
other field basket and, with the score
S to 1 In its favor, things looked very
rosy. Bob Done then tallied from the
field for the "Y." and the walk awaj
of the students was over. At half time
the score stood: High Id. "Y" 6, two
penalty throws and two field baskets
comprising the total for the, red and
white team.
It Was Mp nnd Tuck.
Seven minutes of the second period
had been played when the T. M. C. A.
went to the front, the score then being
15 to 14. The team held its lead less
than a minute, for Schumacher came
through with the basket that put the
students back In front. .But it was the
final spurt of the scholar, for "Y" had
its team play working by that time.
Kilburn did break away for another
field basket and made the score 18 to
15, but "Y" soon tied It up with a field
basket and a penalty and, a mVnute be
fore the final whistle blew. Bob Done
added' another field basket, which de
cided the game and the championship.
Close Checking I" Feature.
Close checking featured the whole
contest, but the "Y" players seemed
better able to stand the hard pace and
came from behind in the second period
with nicely timet! work. Had the stu
dents checked up as closely In the sec
ond period as they did in the first,
there might have been a different story
to tell. However, they have the satis
faction of knowing that although
beaten, they put up a strong bid for the
league honors, losing only to more sea
soned players. If the present High
school team could hold together for an
other season it would make any team in
the country step some to win. The
players waste a considerable amount
of energy now, being more than willing
to do the work required of them, but
another season will teach them to con
serve their strength and speed for
emergencies. 7
Xo Wenk Spots Apparent.
To attempt to pick an individual
star for either team would be an injus

floor. There did not appear to be a
really we:ik spot on. either team. With
the exception of the over-anxiety and
consequent rough checking of the High
guards, no fault can be found.

Very few changes are recorded In the past
week's averages of the local bowling leagues.
Individual leaders of the various leagues
have maintained their averages fairly well,
one or two pin mashers having improved
slightly. The only leader to be displaced
was J. Cunningham, who lost the top posi
tion In the Industrial league to Kay Nagle.
Cunningham had a poor week, his average
dropping from 181 to 173.
The only change in the standings of teams

PROFESSIONAL sports win liberal
support because the promoters
see to it that all their contests com
mence promptly at the advertised
time. Most people prefer to see
amateur sports and these sports
would attract a much larger support
if they were run on schedule time.
HTOO DANGEROUS" was in ef
fect, the reason one noted
driver gave for dropping out of the
Grand' Prix race at San Francisco
on Saturday. Yet the promoters of
big automobile races will persist in
endangering human life just to make
a few measly dollars.
T7AME doesn't seem to bother the
coast basketball teams. The
Illinois A. C. went out to the coast
with a wonderful record. It bumped
into the Oakland Y. M. C. A. and its
record didn't help a bit, for the Oaks
won. Then the Oaks went down
before the Olympic club, of San
Francisco. This put the Olympics in
the final with Whittier college of
Los Angeles. The result of that
game has not yet been received here.
pIGHT FAN sends in a query
regarding the weight of heavy
weight boxers and wants to know
if Jess Willard is the heaviest man
the ring has known. Willard's
weight is said to be about 245
pounds. He is not, however, the
heaviest boxer known to the game.
Ed. Dunkhorst, who was knocked
out by Bob Fitzsimmons at Brook
lyn, early in 1900, weighed some
thing like 350 pounds and was
known as "the human freight car."
One of the old English champions,
in the bare knuckle days is reported
to have weighed around 300 pounds,
but I cannot recollect his name. As
a specimen of a big man, propor
tionately built, Willard probably
takes the prize.

"RUCK."
QHARLES WEBBER, catcher of
the University of Michigan nine,
showed the right spirit when he an
nounced, of his own accord, that he
had played "summer baseball" and
had received pay for it. He asks that
the, university take a stand on this
matter and permit students who play
baseball for money during the sum
mer holidays to keep their amateur
standing in college sports. Practic
ally all the members of the Michi
gan athletic board were in accord
with Webber's proposition but an
nounced that "they felt Michigan
was not inTJLposition to take the
lead in abollssjnij the rule forbid
ding summer baseball." Surely if a
big university cannot take the lead,
a small one can hardly be expected
to. A great many university stud
ents are selfsupporting and have to
take some employment diring the
summer holidays. Many of them
can make enough in playing base
ball during their vacation to carry
them through the following school
year. There is no taint in pro
fessional baseball providing always
that it is openly professional and not
"amateur" with the pay slipped out
on the quiet and the only real ob
stacle to the universities permitting
athletes to maintain amateur stand
ing in college sports, after playing
summer ball, is because some sons
of rich men object to "associating
with men who have played baseball
for a living." Such is life.

JOHNSON SETTLES DOWN
FOR LONG STAY IN CUBA
Jack Curley, promoter of the John-son-Willard
fight, -was due in Havana
this morning, but wired Saturday that
he had been delaed and would not
reach the Cuban capital until some time
Tuesday. Dispatches from Havana in
dicate that Johnson is determined upon
a lengthy stay there, for he has leased,
a furnished house for three months
and Is making himself quite at home.
Johnson is evidently much heavier
than people have imagined, for dis
patches to eastern papers declare that
when Jack gave an exhibition in Ha
vana last week he stepped on the
scales, as a courtesy to some news
papermen, and raised the beam at 24
pounds. Despite this weight he is said
to be carrying very little superfluous
fat. His increase in weight is at
tributed to the naturally building up
of a man of his age and build. Johnson,
trained down, will go into the ring at
about 230 pounds, if he meets Willard,
so the cowboy will not Have a very big
advantage in that respect
Talk of bouts across the river for the
coming weekend is going the rounds,
but there is nothing definite to an
nounce. The proposed bouts are be
tween Dundee and Delmont and be
tween "Gunboat" Smith and Jim Flynn.
Flynn was reported, in Louisville a few
days ago, jet the promoters claim that
they are unable to get in touch with
him.

, Gibbons and McGoorty to Fight Tuesday.
By mXGSIDB
BW YORK, March, 1. This Story
is written with the assumption
that meantime nothing crops up
to hinder Jack Johnson and Jesa Wil
lard from engaging in their proposed
45-round battle for the world's heavy
weight championship at Juarez. Should
unforseen circumstances prevent the
staging of the titular contest, it would
be transferred to Havana, where the
Cubans are at present being initiated
into the vagaries of the ring game.
Assuming once more than Johnson
and Willard are permitted to go
through with their maneuers at Jua
rez it behooves us to place before the
boxing jury convincing evidence to
show that Jess Willard has an even
chance ef defeating Jack Johnson
thereby regaining for the Caucasian
race the world's heavyweight crown.
Casual followers of matters pugilis
tic have scoffed at Big Jess's ability
to cope with the mighty Senegamblan.
We herewith produce some facts that
seem to give the giant Kansas cow
puncber at least an even chance with
the champion.
IVlUard's Size Counts.
The more salient facts are these;
Willard is ten years younger and is
generally accredited with being able
to deliever a more powerful blow than
Johnson. Also, Jess weighs 20 pounds
mere theji the black, but whether this
will be an advantage or a detriment
remains .to be seen.
Then, again. Willard towers some
thing like 5 3-4 inches above Johnson,
who is no lilllputian, and the white boy
has the enormous reach of 83 1-2
inches.
Delving still farther into the "dope,"
Willard has never been knocked out,
or even knocked down during a ring
encounter, while Johnson has sensed a
knockout. And anyone who has ever
caved in finder a sleep-inducing wallop
will tell that he never overcomes the
apprehension of suffering another
knockout.
Comparison of Victories.
While the class of opposition Willard
has confronted during his few years In
the ring has been only mediocer. it is

It is also a fact that Willard does
not know his own strength He has
killed one man with a punch, "Bull'"
Young being the unfortunate victim of
Wlllard's death dealing right upper
cut, the blow with which Jesa hopes
to beat Johtson.
What Willard Lacks.
Willard has every natural advantage,
but is sadly lacking in three essentials
experience, generalship and skill.
And these are the factors that may
cost him the fight.
Willard, before leaving for the battle
ground, mapped out his plan of cam
paign to the writer, said Jess;
lVoa't Rush Johnson.

Haft Fought Johnson Before.
"I have fought Johnson before, but
only in exhibition bouts. He tried hard,
to knock me out, but failed utterly. If
he couldn't put me away, or even knock
me down when I was only a mere nov

"It is with regret that I must recall
the Young incident. I am sorry it hap

not deal him ray hardest blow. But I
cannot afford to let my hitting powers
interfere with ray chance of winning
my title. I will hit Johnson as hard as
I possibly can, regardless of the conse
quences "
Relies on TUsht Uppercut.
Willard says he will depend chiefl?
nn his terrific rirfit nnnf.rfwt tn hrln..
' Johnson down. Jess has a faculty of
stepping quickly inside of a left jab
and lift his -right to the head or body.
It was this blow, which traveled less
than two feet, that settled Yonng. Jess
seldom used the blow in training bouts,
for fear of hurting his sparring part
ners. The backers of Willard point to too
fact that Johnson has never met a man
the size of Willard. and they say that
the sight of such a fellow in front of
him will intimidate Johnson. Wlllard's
gameness has never beep thoroughly
tested, but It will surely be given a
severe trial.
In short, Willard's chance for vic
tory lies in his stamina and his man
killing punch. Johnson will be there
with all his vaunted cleverness, and
his smashing right trppercuCand it will
be a battle worth seeing if all is on tne
"up and up."
Gibbons Fights McGoorty.
Another battle the coming week, of
not much less import than the John-son-Willard
collision, will be that be
tween Mike Gibbons and Eddie Mc
Goorty. the middleweight arch rivals.
These two leading disputants of th
158-pound supremacy will mingle fof
ten rounds at Hudson, Wis. on Tuesday
evening (March 2.)
The outcome of this mill Is eagerly
awaited, as a victory for Gibbons win
