lege athletics the undesirable profess
sional will not hold, in my opinion No
professional athlete of the kind not
wished as a student would be willing to
undergo the hard work necessary to
pass a year OF university work. But If
John L. Sullivan came to a university
and showed enough ability and charac-
ter TO take entrance examinations and
then complete a fun years work,
would not oppose his competition in attn
letics | would think that he had thus
earned the right to participate in ath-
letics
Il know that these views are not en-
tertained by the other members of the
Pennsylvania University athletic com
mittee, who have a genuint fear that
they would lead TO many evils not de-
sired. So there is little probability Of
anyone attempting TO inaTgurate such
an innovation at Pennsy. But If [ had

The Brown faculty at it's meeting dis
cussed the athletic situation and, 1t Is
supposed, drew up a report defining its
position. which will be presented to the
athletic board
A petition asking the students to sup
port the action of the board has been
signed by more than three hundred of
the students. The petition asking the
board to go back to the old rule until
September Is, 1874, has received only 1OO
signatures Only about half the stu

either petition. In reply TO the supposi-
ton that the new rule has been made
TO save Mike Lynch, the pitcher. Man
ager Stevens says again that Lynch
could play under the old or under the

Personal Comment on Men and
Things in the Field of Sports

American boxers arc rapidly growing
in popularity in England. The success
Of George Dixon has been so great he
will probably secure the much-o0veted
opportunity to meet Jem Bowker the
bantamweight champion Of England. 4
purse Of $500 has been offered for the
match. Dixon has wired his acceptance,
and Il is probable Bowker viii do like
wise.
Dixon has grown so popular. one Eng
lish sportsman has agreed TO back the
negro for 5000 If he meets Bowker
provided the bout does not take place
at the London National Sporting Club.
Should Dixon win the fight he will have
a clean record and will at once return
to America 70 fight the legitimate
featherweights Of this country. lie aud
Abe Attell or Harry Forbes. will prob
ably come together within the next
year.
Another match in which a good Amer
lean boxer will participate is that be-
tween Jimmy Walsh. Of Boston. and
Digger Stanley, before the National
Sporting Club. Of London, Oh April IS.
Walsh viii leave America for Eng
land on March q.
The success Of American knuckledus-
tiers abroad has been attributed TO the
fact that they punch harder than the
British boxer. Every fighter OF repute
in the United States uses either "A

lists. however. rely almost entirely ON
q blow straight from the shoulder. a
blow of this kind has not the sleep
producing effect of a well-delivered
hook or swing. one good hook from
Fitzsimmons will do more damage than
three shoulder blows delivered by the
average English boxer.
When an Englishman once makes up
his mind on anything it is difficult Ia
dissuade him from his idea, and he has
persistently stuck 10 this method OF
punching. Just such invasions Of Eng

George Dixon. however. should open

Being made without alcohol, this vMed-
