Princeton University, recent victor
over the University of Virginia baseball
team will play Georgetown at the Hill
top today in what is expected to be
the best college game of the season.
The Tigers will probably start Deyo. the
crack Finger. against Coach O'Reilly's
players.
"HaG' Haggerty will probably serve
them up for Georgetown with Irwin be-
hind the bat. Georgetown has a game
over Yale to its credit, and is more
than anxious to get In ahead of the
Princeton team. Snow interfered with
Saturdays engagement at Georgetown
with the same team.
Over in Brookland the Catholic Uni
versity team will play Penn State. The
Pennsylvanians were defeated by the
Navy team on Thursday last. Blodgett
holding them to three scattered hits.
Fahey will probably pitch for Catholic
University.
The Brooklanders have won every start
this season. and want to go through the
engagements this week with flying

Jess willard was born in Pottawato-
me county, Kan. on December %. 1887.
He boxed his first bout in February,
1911, when he lost on a foul to Louis
Fink, at Sapulpa. Okla. In the tenth
round.
At that time the only remarkable
thing about Willard was his enormous
physical bulk. He stood six feet six
inches in his bare feet. and even then
tipped the scales at well over 200
pounds. Three weeks later the giant
cowboy met Ed Burke and put over the
knockout punch in the third round. In
the same month he met Fink second
time. and knocked him out in the third
round.
These victories encouraged willard,
and he fought regularly through that
year and 1919, ending most of his bouts
with knockouts, although his opponents
were not men of the first rank. Two
of these bouts were with Arthur PeIky
and Luther McCarty. in this city, and
both were ten-round, no-decision af-
fairs, but it was the general opinion
that Willard had the advantage. Sailoe
White and Soldier Kearns later went
down for the count of ten under the
impact OF the cowboys crushing blows.

In 1913 Willard took part In eleven
bouts and won them all. with the eX-

had met in his short career
Carl Morris, the giant pugilist from
oklahoma, was one of those whom VIII
lard outpointed in ten-round bout in
New York during 1918. George Rodel
and George Davis were both knocked
out by the cowboy in December of that
year.
In 1914 Willard outpointed Tom Nc
Mahon IN no-decision bout at ten
rounds, and also knocked out Dan
Daley in nine rounds at Buffalo. and
Rodel in six rounds at Atlanta.
Willard Is blessed with exceptional
physical qualities. and is not yet at
the height of his powers. 1t is these
assets that lead many to believe the
young giant will be able to conquer the
great Galveston negro.
Those who have seen Willard at work
during the last few months say his i'm
provement in boxing skill since his last
ring bout is remarkable, and that John
son will not face a raw novice when
the two stand face to face in the Ha-
vana ring today.

1t was in the fall of 1914 that John
son began to show signs OF restless
ness-financial restlessness, perhaps
and indications of desiring once more
to enter the roped arena. Reports
were current that the champion felt
the need of money and was intent
upon engaging in another battle fol-
lowing his victory over Frank Moran.
As usual when champions who have
been taking life easily show dis
position to return to the ring, 1t was
rumored that Johnson had been nv-
ing at a fast pace, was hopelessly out
of condition and would prove easy
picking for the first man to oppose
