SAM BERGER PHILOSOPHIC
y OVER RECENT DEFEAT

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, November "a
Sam Berger, the big heavy weight of Cali
fornia who was recently beaten by AL.
Kaufman in ten rounds in San Francisco,
is the latest fighter to quit the ring. Berger
feels so badly over his defeat by Kaufman
that he has decided never to don the gloves
again. Interviewed concerning his recent
battle. Berger grew philosophical. He said,
among other things:
while AL. was making horseshoes I was
turning out bills of lading, and found out
Wednesday that the making of horseshoes
is better exercise for developing rugged
ness than is the making of entries in
book. Had been as rugged as Kaufman
/ would have won with knockout; but
was not as rugged as AL, and his strength
and stamina is what won that fight for him
against me.
Throughout the battle 1 knew perfectly
well what l was doing. but could not
bring my knowledge into execution After
thes fourth round my physical forces failed
to respond to any mental urging, and l was
as dead on my feet as the statue Of George
Washington at the Boston Common. Yet
my defeat has not been convincing. l still
think l know more about the game than
does Kaufman, and am not satisfied that
he is a better man than myself. 1 am
naturally inclined to be fat, and it Is a
hard thing for me to take of weight rap
idly"

They get 1t. They get away with It.
Sometimes the men in the regular line put
up bit of a mutter about it, but that
doesn't make any difference. The porcine
persons who are getting theirs first don't
pay the least attention to mutt erings They
don't have to.
L have seen as many as ten Of these in
formally impudent Buttinskis slam In ahead
of the regular line after one race, and
every one of them got his money out Of

bother. ---i-----.-

There must be an answer to this what
for and there doesn't seem to be the least
doubt that John G. Cavanaugh knows It,
If he does,~the time to start something"

Every cashier in the ring should be noti-
fed by the ring ruler that the men in the
regular pay-of line are to get their money
first, and the ButtinSkis never, unless they
fall into line like the rest of the gang
We make the suggestion to Mr.. Cava-

TROPHY FOR B0WLINGrfH
OFFERED AT PRINCETON

PRINCETON. N j., November 24.-In
order to develop interest in bowling at
Princeton a graduate has offered to present
a cup to be played for by teams of five
from the upper class clubs and to be won
outright this year. This sport has been re-
ceiving much attention at Princeton this
season and the offer of a trophy has at
tracted many of the college bowlers to the
alleys, but in acknowledging the offer the
college daily says:
I'VE are not entirely in favor of the terms
under which the cup is offered. 1t is en-
tirely foreign to Princeton's social policy to
have any contests which would in any way
foster interclub rivalry. II this prize were
offered as a reward for the best class team,
it appears to us that much more desirable
results would be obtained. An interest in
bowling would, in all probability, be taken
by the members of all four classes. and IL
the scheme should meet with success Il
valuable means for the development of a
prospective recognized team would I'M
doubtedly be esta bliShed."

and handicaps of the players and not by the
usual medal play round.
The idea is to have the divisions evenly

which a first division player, through acct
dent or otherwise, often gets into the Sec
ond division, where he enjoys a walk

of Princeton's wonderful line of tackles.
Going strong in the preliminary work he

prediction made by Walter Camp two
years ago. that Stanard had the making
of the greatest tackle the gridiron has
