TOO GOOD TO BE ATHLETE

Charles Parker. captain of the Uni
versity Of Chicago track team last
year, has advanced so rapidly in his
studies that the faculty today de-
clared him ineligible to participate
further in athletics. His case Is
unique in Western collegiate athlet-
les, and in pronouncing him ineligible
the faculty acted on a clause in the
conference agreement which hereto
fore has not been enforced. and even
its existence has been known TO few.
Parker is taking a six-year course
leading to a degree of doctor OF law.
Conference rules state that a student
who has received a bachelors degree
can no longer compete in athletics.
Parker believed he could put on the
studies which would give him his
bachelors degree until he had par
ticipated in athletics for three years.
But IN other studies Parker has been
credited with thirty-six majors, and
a student who has received this num-
Der of credits automatically earns
his bachelors degree. -
In ruling, the faculty invoked Q
clause IN the graduate rule to the ef-
feet that a student is not eligible to
athletics who prolongs his under
graduate course for the purpose Of
extending his period OF elig4bility.
This clause was not known to Parl<e<
or to Coach Stage.

the st. Michaers bowlers, of Eliza

seven of the silver fobs which are

The individual high score mark was,
previous to Hills successful effort last

by both Morris Schmidt, who got his
tally Thursday night. and Gus Ko-
vach, who reached 113 November Il

score of 105 in the eleventh frame last

went wild when he knocked down the
necessary nine pins with his last ball.
Hill is now in line for the gold fob,

The Star offers for high individual

FIELD Of STARS IN
CENTRAL'S $780,
Athletes Eager for Crack Of
Starters Pistol at An
nual Meet.
ALL EYES ON MEREDITH

Three open events are carded in
conjunction with the New Jersey
State scholastic track and field cham
pionships, which are to be held to-
night under the auspices of the Cen
trail High School Athletic Association
at the First Regiment Armory.
Attracting unusual interest Is the
Central $780, In which Ted Meredith.
Mel Sheppard, Randy" Granger. Ollie
De Gruchy and Homer Baker are TO
face the barrier. The quintet COM
poses one of the best special fields
that has been started this winter in
a half-mile event Tonight marks
Meredith's initial start this winter.
The Penn Flyer" has been working
out at the University Field and is said
to regard this race as being OF great
Importance, as he is exceedingly anx-
ious to get a line on Granger, the local
colored boy, who is most likely to run
one of the legs of the Dartmouth two
mile relay in the spring. Sheppard,
ever popular here, always runs his
best before Newarkers, and must be
figured a contender. Homer Baker
and Ollie De Gruchy, the New York
A. c. runners. are two of the best men
"a the distance in the metropolitan
district.
The quarter-mile event is also a
centre of attraction. Frank Lagay,
the Dartmouth freshman star, who is
the junior met champion at the dis
lance, has three yards on Hal He'll
and, the scratch man. Both athletes
are local boys, and keen rivalry ex-
lists between them. However. neither
may place, as the field contains sew
eral performers.
The mile race will bring Louis Scott
the crack Paterson distancer, into &C.
ton. Scott won the mile event at
the Paterson Elks' games recently
defeating some of the star Manhattan
distance men. Mike Devaney has been
allotted ten yards on Scott, while Joe
Myer. another representative of Dart
mouths 1917 class, will have twenty
yards advantage.
Many schools of the State are rep
resented in the State championships,
among them being the following;
Peddie, Barringer High School,
Newark Academy, East Orange High
School, Dickinson High School, of Jer-
sey City; Morristown High School.
Chatham High School and Asbury

FLOWERS for Coulon."
They are already ordering flowers
to decorate Johnny Coulon's pugilistic
grave. The bantam champion re-
turned to the ring last week and, &C.
cording to advices, failed to show his
old-time form.
The critics should not be so i'm
patient. Naturally, after 3. long spell
of idleness, Coulon could not be ex-
pected to show at his best. Keep a
boxer out of the ring and out of
training for more than a year and 1t
takes several bouts and plenty of box
ing In training to restore his judy
ment of distance-which is very i'm
portant part of a successful fighters
box of tricks.
Report stated that Coulon was wild,
and that he failed to land time and
again when opportunity presented
itself Which goes to prove what
said above. To get the proper range
of an opponent plenty of boxing in
practice bouts is required, just as in
any sport where the eye cuts a fig
ure. A blizzard player, Tor example,
no matter how clever or skilful he
may be, who has been away from the
green table for a month, finds on his
return that the points do not accu-
mulate SO rapidly. But plenty of
practice will remedy this defect if the
player still retains his natural skill.
And so possibly with Coulon. 1t may
be that the little champion is
through" as the leader of the ban
tam division, or it may mean that he
is just trif1e rusty after his long
vacation.
But he will need to be at his very
best to beat kid" Williams. It Is a
question whether he can beat Will
Jams under any conditions, for the
Baltimore whirlwind looks like a
coming champion, and is one of the
hardest kids to beat that I've seen in

COULON TO MEET
WINNER OF CLASH
Bantamweight Champion Viii
Face Victor in Campi-Will-
Jams Bout.
BATTLE ON COAST TODAY

Two of the best bantamweight box
ers In America will meet in CALI
fornia ring today at Los Angeles.
Johnny kid" Williams, of Baltimore,
and Eddie Campi, of San Francisco,
will come face to face for a scheduled
2O-round contest at Vernon. The ar
ticles of agreement call for "11s
pounds ringside-"
The bantams went before the clubs
physicians at IL o'clock yesterday
morning for a rigid physical exarni-
nation. Campi was declared to be in
perfect condition. Williams was told
that he had slight stomach disorder,
but 1t was nothing that would affect
him In the least.
The rivals are of two separate and
distinct type of battlers. Campi is
fast and scientific, to an almost freak
ish degree. The one fault found in
Eddie's work has been his inability
to find" knockout wallop.
Williams Is best described as q
heavyweight cut down to bantam
size. He possesses the stamina and
bulldog aggressive spirit of Battling
Nelson when the great Dane was in
his prime, Also, he has the ''wallop,"
his record being featured with forty
one knockouts.
Campi and Williams met a year
ago in this same ring. For twelve
rounds the coast lad outboxed WILL
Jams. Campps strength then began
to fail him. while Williams came on
stronger, and piled up such a lead IN
the final six or seven rounds that he
won Referee Eyton's award.
Johnny Coulon, the bantamweight
champion, has promised that he will
go to the coast and defend his title
against the winner of today's bat
tie. II the Chicago man keeps his
word, this will be the first legitimate
bantamweight championship bout
