NIGHT TO OLD PENN
Tony" Biddle and "Phila-

Stud ent Gladiators
Through Lively Show.

Many dull thuds reverberated through
the corridors Of weightman Hall at the
University OF Pennsylvania last night.
They came from the boxing headquarters
where athletes OF the past, present and
future were piled from floor to ceiling
venting their appreciation of punches,
jabs and uppercuts. The chief attraction
was to have been a wind-up between
Danny Hutchinson, wel-known in social
and football circles, and emphatlcally
popular OF late in the boxing world, and
Young Jack o'Brien, who has tackled
many of the headliners in the ring.
But Young Jack couldn't get away from
business, and Hutchinson, who looked q
little too healthy and happy to go into
battle admitted candidly that he was not
in condition. So Tony Biddle. who has the
knack of turning disappointment into
happiness, lived UP to past records and
staged good show which kept the
athletic audience on It's toes. In fact, the
audience had to keep on the jump to es-
cape black eyes and jabs.
There were fully a score of battles, and
Tony found the work OF refereeing so
hard that he called on Old Jack"
o'Brien. tho former heavyweight cham
pion, and Danny" Hutchinson. to assist.
But the young battlers didn't seem to
care who the umpire was, and all three
referees had to do all kinds of expert

each used the other for a punching bag
No expert would have been able 20 count
the blows. BY multiplying rights and
lefts to the stomach and face by 60. and
again by 10, one might get an idea Of
the speed. When they finished Dotn p4es-
gers sat down and gasped. But George

Tony then gave a brief talk on tho BEN

collegiate boxing. and his opinion was
shared by Jack O'Brien, who said that II
contests could be brought

gested plan which would prevent pro-

II was learned incidentally that the ath-
letic instructors OF 10 colleges are also In

and there is every indication that the plan
will receive serious consideration from tho
faculty committees OF the other colleges.

Sam disappeared about the same time,
and since then two special policemen
have been looking for him. or at least
for the thief who stole the watch.
That causes a pertinent problem.
Eighty days have elapsed since Novem-

day have been looking for the thief all
this time.
Therefore It has already cost so times
&c. or $780, to find out that Sam took the
watch
If 1t costs the city $3.50 to get clue
to the theft of n $50 watch, how much
would 1t cost to capture burglar who
looted n jewelry store?
And the worst of it is Sam hasn't been
caught yet
II is true the police had to wade
through some complications and puncture
n romance or two to find out whom they
were looking for. They encountered this
knowledge today as follows:
