Young in this period, but the mar
gin he earned was nowhere near
enough to get him an even break.
Nelson Easy For Minor
Terry Nelson. with the should
ers of a SandoW and the muscles
of a Hercules, took a hard beating
from Battling Minor in the ten
rounder that wound up the nights
program.
Minor led all the way and Nell
son didn't land one single clean
blow during the entire engagement,
Terry swung with might and main
from all angles, but Minor either
picked them off as they started or
worked inside of them before they
could do any harm.
Every time Terry would rush
Minor would jam a swell right
hand to the stomach. He kept that
off-side mitt always in TerryS
stomach. but the Chattanooga boys

husky muscles and the WalIOps did
little or no harm. But they were
points, nevertheless.
Minor e Clever Boxer.
Minor made d good showing, de
is exceedingly clever but he lacks
the punch necessary to ever earn
him position with top-notch light
weights. He is a willing lad, how
ever, and made all the fight
Nelson will never be q regular
fighter. He is muscle bound. and,
while his punches look to have a
lot of steam, they don't seem to
amount to very much. Terence
ought to make a corkng good
wrestler. At least such Il prtoI'-
ton goes on the tossing and iu0'-
bling tactics that he displayed last
evening.

T/ID YOUNG is a little fighter

should, in a year or two, be
able to put up an argument for
the bantamweight title. He took
on Al Smith at the Dixie A. c.

from Jacksonville fine lacing in
eight rounds.
1t was a corking scrap and. al
though only carded as the semi
windup, proved by far better mill
than the final bout. which was be-
tween Battling Minor and Terry

Young is a fighter pure and sim

that Georgia Military college will
enter, though it has not yet done so.
The schools of the Atlanta Prep

WHEh@N the ced PREPARATORY ,,a", schools Sc
lanta Saturday night to OIL
ganize the Georgia Interscholastic
Basket Ball league. they will be
taking a step toward the purihcs
ton OF college athletic conditions
and a pretty long step. too.
Most of the rottenness OF college
athletics today starts in the prep
school.
Most prep schools are CONNER
cial enterprises, run for profit and
without endowment. Winning base
ball and football teams are big ad-
vertise1nents. In consequence the
men who run the schools want
them. To get them they offer-in
many. but not all cases-some sort
Of inducement TO get good athletes
to attend the schools.
The result is that they prepare
for college a lot Of young men who
are utterly "Commercialized." even
if they are not absolutely 'profes-
sionalzed."
These men naturally go TO the
college that offers the greatest in
ducement" They expect 1t. They
almost force the colleges into offer
ing inducements.
With conditions i'm the prep
schools cleaned up the colleges will
find it easier TO live within the lin
its Of the law, as laid down by the

The eligibility conditions will
provide that professionals are
barred: that players must matricu-
late within 80 days after the open
ing of a term, and that no player
shall be allowed to play more than
four years.
1t will be provided that no team
OF the association will be allowed to
play any other school team Of Geor-

BY adopting these rules it will be
possible to put prep athletes on a

These articles of incorporation can

SION that the plan of our organiza-

ing the fact, at our last meeting the
stock holders unanimously declared
in favor of continuing the mutual
and cooperative plan set forth in
the above Articles.
1t is less than five months since
We got OutS debt and began to
have a surplus that is not needed
! for any of the purposes set forth in
the above Article s. So in order to
| ''eXtinguish' that surplus we have
proceeded to do this "by reducing
rates" as provided for in said Arti-
Gle.
We first made cut of 5 per cent.
we soon found it was not enough, so
We made a cut of 10 per cent. We
have already found that since the
rates have BEEN reduced there is a
greater demand for services, and thai
with this increase demand we can
and will make a still further reduc-
tion of 10 per cent after April LIST.
1t is my opinion that this reduced
rate will so far increase the demand
for service that we will be compel
ed to make still furth r reductions
in order to ''extinguish the surplus
as required in the above Article.
