JIM SULLIVAN, ENGLISH
BOXER, SHOULDERS GUN
Hero of British Ring Is Fighting
With Allies

LONDON, Dec. 29.-one of the boxer
heroes of Great Britain just now is Jim
Sullivan. the former middleweght champ
ion OF England. who is now a private
with the Third London Scottish regiment.
Jim made his ring debut nine years ago,
when he was stopped in the first round by
n fellow named Hickman, In a bout at
the Wonderland
Probably no other bruiser who ever
attained a title had such tough luck in
his early days in the game, OF his first
seven contests he won only one of them,
and for a time he VISA laughing stock.
The fighting sullivan spirit kept him
going, and in 1909 the tide turned, and he
soon fought his way to the top of the
British middleweght ladder. Jim was a
hero in London when he fought Billy
Papke there in 1911, but the German-Am-
erican battler was too much for him and
foored him for the count in the ninth
round.
Sullivan continued to claim the middle
weight championship of Europe until
1912, when he fought Georges Carpenter
at Monte Carlo. and was knocked out in
the second round.

VARD0N AND OTHER PROS
TO TOUR UNITED STATES
Receipts Will Be Turned Over to War
Relief Fund

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Golfers ara
keenly interested in a report that Harry
Vardon and several other famous Eng.
lish professionals will tour America dur.
ing the coming season. Vardon, Taylor,
Ray Braid and other former holders OF
the English open championship, played
n series of four-ball matches throughout
England during the last summer turn
ing the net receipts over to a war relief
fund
If proper arrangements ce= be made
with quartet of these players the plan
is to have them tour the United States
and Canada during the 1916 season with
the same ultimate use of the gate re-
ceipts.
Most of the professionals mentioned are
past the age where their services would
be acceptable in trench warfare, but they
are understood to be eager to turn their
golhng ability into material assistance
for England during the continuation Of
the war
Ray. Vardon and Braid had engaged
passage to this country last summer, but
the sinking OF the Lusitania caused them
TO abandon the trip.

STEVENSON SAYS WILLIAMS
WILL BE APPOINTED HEAD
COACH OF PENN Ell EVEN
Famous Quarterback Believes Fraternity Poll
tics Played an Important Part in Elections
and Will Influence Football Committee

VINCENT STEVENSON, recognized as
V the greatest quarterback who ever
represented Penn on the gridiron, declared
that DR.. Carl Williams will be appointed
head coach of the Red and Blue eleven for
1916. Stevenson believes that the student
body expressed itself strongly in faeor of
n change I'm the present coaching system
when 1t polled such strong vote for
Big BIZ Hollenback, but that the wishes
of the undergraduates would be ignored
because politics and fraternites rule ath-
letics at Pennsylvania.
Stevenson believes that williams will
he an excellent head coach II he gives all
his time to the team but that n change
Is needed regardless of results The
famous quarerback agrees with Williams
and by" Dickson, who contend that
any coach with fair amount of football
knowledge and capable assistants will he
able to turn out n winning team at Penn
next fall with such unusual material
Need Change
According to Stevenson, Williams has
not given the team as much time ais is
necessary. "Stevle" believes that he
would do so II appointed head coach, but
a change In system is badly NEEDED and
one of the younger element with Hollen-
back and Bob Folwell as leading candl-
dates should be considered.
Stevenson contends that fraternities
and politics are playing too prominent a
part In Pennsylvania's athletics for the
Red and Blue to get out of it's athletic
rut. and intimates that the frat" inter-
ests have caused the student choices to
be Ignored in the selection of the new
football committee.
Politics played an important part In
the recent elections at Penn, as they
always do said Stevenson. This was
apparent when Bill Hollenback polled a
remarkable vote and carried almost his
entire ticket with him for the dictatorship
of the Athletic Association and was then
eliminated when this body appointed the
Football Committee. Bill thinks he still
has an excellent chance to he appointed
head coach, but 1 have It from n reliable
source that Carl Williams Is to be at the
helm.

the neutral countries are not engaged in

tries in the point score were the United
States, Sweden and Finland, The meet
would be a tremendous success II no
other countries competed.
1t would not be difficult for Sweden to
stage the games next summer, The
Olympic stadium, where the games were
held in 1915, is a permanent structure, and
could not be improved upon even in this
country. Furthermore, Sweden has all
the machinery which ran the 1912 games
so splendidly. So. If the United States
is too Indifferent to compete with Sweden
for the honor of saving the games for
1916, let Sweden have them.
