Considering that fact, 1t is evident, that
Nolan has not picked out n very soft

somebody. as he was getting out of range
of the spotlights and losing advertising.
Also. Joe Cans is camping on his trail

defeat at the hands of Jack O'Brien and
his victory over Dave Barry.
Delaney figures that Kaufman has
learned a great deal from these two bnt-
ties. and is now ripe for a fight with
better man than Barry. Delaney knows
his business. and since he has matched
Kaufman with the big Acron tighter 1t
is safe bet that Kaufman has IA good
chance to win. The man who brought.
out Jeffries and Gorbett seldom goes,
wrong. though he was little hasty when
he sent his latestffind at O'Brien. In TINS
fight the Coast man will be meeting
scrapper bigger. than himself. Kaufmann
weighs about 1870 pounds when in fighting
trim, and that is-all the weight heavy
needs. Rubin will probably be over the
200 notct, wheng they face each other.
This fight is all important to both men.

assurance calculated to do anything but
stir the sporting blood.
But the instances were fortunately
rare, or, at least, exceptional. and 1t was
more often that enthusiasm swept the
house, hoarse shouts and shrill screams
greeting and cheering on some popular
pair as they struggled around the course
with the bare difference of head be-

one or two exceptions referring to in
dividuals of a uniformly high order.
Perhaps the signal happening of the
day was the defeat of George Washing
ton University by the University of
Virginia in one of the most holly con-
tested relay races ever seen on any
track. Virginia and George Washington
pulled up well all the way through, and
Georgetown made n good showing

nothing-a litter pill for the Techs.
Woodbury. Forrest. with finely trained
team of youngsters, scored notable
triumph. winning in every event in
which 1t was entered. carrying off eight
cups, two gold watches and q medal,
with a prize for every member of the
school competing. Richmond College, by
n narrow margin. outclassed William
and Mary in close and exciting relay
race. The local championship went to
the Richmond High School. scoring over
the Richmond Academy and McGure's.
BY defeating the crack George Wash

held it's own against all comers and

surprise of many. Fepelled the most
threatening of the attacks from out-of-
