Do College Athletes
Live Longer?

Dr. Anderson. OF the Yale gymnas.
ium, makes out good case for the
college athlete after graduation as re-
spects his vitality ana expectation OF
life. From an examination OF Yale
alumni records he finds that OF the
men who wore the "Y'' In the major
athletic sports between 1855 and 1895.
5s have died percentage OF 10. while
the percentage of deaths among All
graduates In that period Is 1919
This on Its face Is AN excellent gen
-eFai showing fur the athlete. but some
of the details In the table of athletic
mortality statistics need further eluci-
dation. Thus, consumption caused ~

above one in FIVE. while in tie cuunlrx

from the Yale figures though. neither

WHITE OUTPO1NTS DIXON
IN BOUT AT WINDSOR A, c,
Chicago Boy Is Trained Well
Dixon Tricky and Good -
at Mixing

Fight fans today expressed the opin.
ion that the bout between Tommy
Dixon, of Kansas City and Charley
White, OF Chicago, in which the latter
shaded the former in. nearly every
round was the best seen at the Wind
sor A. c. in some time. That White
had II on Dixon there is little ques.
ton. But the degree of "oness" was
slight.
Tommy was tricky, using the ropes
time and again In his rushes. This
bothered White at first, but In the
|; 81 few rounds he refused to be
drawn In. Dixon would back against
the ropes until they were taut and,
then spring out at White, jabbing
viciously and sometimes landing.
Whites superior reach counted
much as he stabbed the Kansas City
lad in the face repeatedly without
coming into any danger. Tommy bore
I'm and was inclined 10 mix things. In
the clinches during the first three,
rounds he did some effective work, but
during the latter rounds he was i'm
effective even I'M the in-fghting.
White was trained down TO the min
ute. coming up cool and fresh each
round. Dixon did not appear to have
trained overly we'll for the contest
and while he was aggressive TO the
finish. he seemed TO ,ire easily toward
the end OF the bout.

The arguments over the Langford-
McVey battle, at Sydney. Australia, in
which Mcvey was returned the win

caused many to inquire what sort OF
a man Baker is.
Baker gave the fight 10 McVey, and
Tommy Burns, who seemed 10 be pull
ing for Langford, declared the de-
cision unfair, as did some sporting
writer's, especially the critics OF TIE

fought in Paris last April. CORR
called IL draw. | saw the fight and
thought Langford had q shade, but
had TO admit later that Corris de-
cision was correct, as McVey jabbed
Langford and did the more damage.
although Langford. at times, worked
havoc on McVey's body.
No doubt this gave McVey courage
and in Australia he profted by ex-
perience and Bakers decision was as
noar correct as could possibly have
been given.

In previous battle between Johnny

The argument was so warm that
when Thompson knocked out Land,
Clabby jumped into the ring and they

Billy Rocks, well known TO the local
sporting fraternity, has been selected

Mahmout- Peterson bout and be in line
