Stand Punishment
But His Showing Against OPP

San Francisco, Jan. 3o.-Exhausted
at the end of the fourteenth round last
night Kid Broad of Cleveland aban-
doned his contest with Eddie Hanlon,
of San Francisco, and the referee
awarded the contest to the Californian.
Broad had had but few days prepara-
ton for the fight and was. according
to his own claim not in condition to
continue. Hanlon gave him e terrible
punching about the body.
The winner fought fast and aggres-
sive battle, directing most of his blows
against the body of his opponent. miss
ing few of his shots. Broad proved his
capacity for absorbing punishment to
be great, but his showing against Han
lon was of an inferior order and all
through the IA rounds Hanlon was in
fine condition and rarely received a
blow that either Jared or hurt him
with the exception of one blow on the
eye which slid the lid open and for a
moment caused him confusion. Broad
was apparently outclassed and was at
no time able to penetrate the peculiar
defense put up by Hanlon.

to Look Out for Material.

Boston. Mass, Jan. S0.-That the alumni
of Princeton university appreciates New
England as a good feeding ground for
young athletes was apparent last Satur-
day night, when there was meeting at
the Copley Square hotel after the tiger
basket ball team returned from it's con-
test with Harvard. The idea of the meet
ing was to start a movement for the es-
adjustment of permanent organization
of Princeton graduates here in New Eng
land
Different topics came up for discussion,
but the one that the graduates seemed
most interested in was the best means to
employ to influence the large number of
preparatory schools in the east toward
sending their athletic product to the New
Jersey college.
Jim Robinson, the popular athletic
trainer, came in for a large share of at
tention Jim gave some valuable infor-
nation on the subject, He said that the

win many other victories in the near fu--
