against New York University last week

BOMBARDIER WELLS
TAKES THE COUNT
Knocked Ont by Carpenter in
Less than Two Minutes OF a
Hurricane Bout.
by Cable to The Tribune J

London. Dec Bombardier Wells.
heavyweight champion of England, was
knocked out by Georges Carpenter in the
first round Of their bout at the National
Sporting Club here tonight.
Every inch of standing room in the CLUB
was occupied and the streets of Covent
Garden were packed with a crowd Of sew
eral thousand enthusiasts who were anx-
ious to hear the result and in high hopes
Wells would avenge his defeat at Client.
Odds OF to ware laid on the English
man and when the men entered the ring
. 10 was offered. Both men looked At.
Carpenter seemed 10 have built himself
up since his unsatisfactory showing
against Jeff Smith the American middle
weigh.
The actual time OF fighting was min
ute 10 seconds. Carpenter made II a
hurricane affair concentrating his attack
on Weiss weakest point. mis- stomach.
and soon had the Englishman groggy.
Then. with a tremendous swing to the
jaw. followed by a smashing left and
right to the ribs Carpenter sent Wells
down for the count.
Throughout the brief contest the Eng
lishman did not strike one effective blow.
The fight was for a purse of $1,000 and
q side stake OF $500. II attracted great
interest among sporting men because il
was the second meeting between the
British heavyweight and the Frenchman
within a few months.
After the fight there was a scene OF
extraordinary excitement. Carpenter was
az once seized upon by his seconds and
carried shoulder high around the ring.
He was applauded enthusiastically. while
Wells was greeted with loud cries OF dis
content from those of his supporters who
thought he would make good.
The London Times says: 1T is clear
that our boxers must learn inhghting II
they are TO hold their own with the
American champions and such American
lied experts as Carpenter. The latter has
studied the Americanized style. which is
the latest modern development of the art.
and realized the superiority which it con-
fers over merely physical advantages in
the shape of height, weight and reach.
Wells preferred TO stick to the accepted
methods Of the British school. and conse-
quently. although fine boxer, was ignO-
minOusly beaten.
His case is. in fact. exactly typical Of
the present position of this country in all
most all branches of athletics, and until
We learn the lesson which is the moral Of
his defeat we cannot begin to hope TO re-
gain our old pre-eminence in fields OF
sport"
Other papers Gwelt on the pitiable ex-
hibition by Wells and speak Of the fight
as the Waterloo of British boxing and the
most inglorious happening in the history
Of the British ring.

at the showing OF their basketball team

that the team was greatly weakened by
the absence from the lineup Of Captain

mentals of the game for which his al

floor. We're wild In their shooting, and
the passing Of the entire Blue and White
the ball when il came to them, and were
wholly confused by the short, quick
passing OF New York.
one grave fault OF Columbia was the
employment OF long passes to get the
ball down the field. This style of game
worked we'll under the old rules, whereby
n player could chase the ball into tho
crowd If he missed his pass. BY the new
regulations. however, the ball goes to the
other side and the long passing game is
therefore practically valueless. The same
IS true of tn. long shots at goal which
have marked Columbia's play ir the last
