termine the holder Of second place In
the high school race.
Should Central surprise the dopesters

would mean a three-cornored tie for con-
ISOLATION honOrs. Western now holds she
position and a victory tomorrow would
clinch the place.
Western has been working hard. and
no let up has been noted in the prae-
tice. Central likewise. has been on Its
toes in the hope OF retrieving Itself for
its earlier losses The Blue and White
chances are shady on account OF The
retirement OF several Of its best men.

Georgetown's game with Virginia

wise move. There is no moral obligation
on teams to play or spectators to see

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-With three ap-

class fighting would be a scarce article
for a time.
It IS all very well for Jenries and cans
to retire and leave the heavy and light
weight championships to be scrambled
for, but the trouble is the great Ameri-
can public will not take these kinds OF
champions seriously. and small blame
to them considering the number Of near
champions, especially in the heavy
weight division.

himself in the Jeff-Gans class Of cham
