{. S. A. c. PRESENTS GREAT
CARD At INITIAL SMOKER

Biff! Bang! One, two, three,
four. five, six, seven, eight. Biff!
Bang! One, two, three, four, five,

out.
That's the way things went at
the East Side Athletic clubs
Initial smoker, held at I'm
ion Park hall last night, and those
who braved the flood to be at the
ringside came away with the feel
ing that they had witnessed 20
rounds of the fastest amateur mill
ing seen in many day.
THE best slam bang mixups
ever saw at an amateur perform
ance," is the way one enthusiastic
fan styled the card. "A bunch of
husky youngsters with no great
knowledge Of the game, but full Of
fight and ready to mix it at all
stages of the game" is the way an
other fan sized up the milling.
Three knockouts were handed out
to the fight bugs last night, Harry
Crager, a fast 1873 FOUNDER. who
shows promise of developing into a
title holder. slipping the crusher
over on Ted Burger in the second
frame: Bodie Wins duplicating the
performance with Curley King. and
Joe Reager administering the sleep
ing pellet to Dave Hollister in the
ehird round of their fast and furious
session.
The most exciting mixup of the
evening was the four round draw
between Clyde Patten and wild
Bill' McCarty. McCarty lived up to
the reputation expected from one
bearing such a title. boring in from
every angle, receiving knockdowns
galore, but always coming back for
more, bloody, but grinning.
Merrill Miles put up great fight
against Heinie Ritter. flooring his
opponent in the third and fourth
rounds, but Ritter was too clever
for him and Referee Jack Earle
called the contest draw to the sat

the girls endurance and speed.
Each candidate presents a different
problem. Speaking of training the
girls, Mrs. Burton said:
For each girl l do what seems
best to get her into perfect condi-
ton. Starting with the fall term
we walk from two to seven miles
across the country, three or four
times a week. The other two week
days we devote to the gymnasium,
each girl doing work suited to her
needs. When one of our outdoor
days is stormy we have indoor
basket ball practice. This lasts
for ~ weeks, when those who are
left are good subjects for a fast
team.
After the holidays there are two
practice games a week and the
girls keep up their individual exer-
cises. One factor not overlooked
is the bathing. At least twice a
week the girls take hot baths and
the cold salt water sponge or show
er. as best suits the individual. This
helps gain perfect physical condi-
ton as much as exercising"

SPOKANE BASKETBALLERS
TAKE THREE IN A ROW
GONZAGA 27, IDAHO II,

The clever basket shooters from
the Gonzaga college celebrated
their first big game in Spokane
this season by taking the Idaho
University quintet into camp

home boys on their own floor
coupled with the use of the asso
citation rules, which are strange to
the Idahoans, enabled the Cole
gians to play rings around the Wis
itors In the first frame, securing
a lead of ten points which could
not be overcome or even de-
creased.
