GIBBONS TOO CLEVER
FOR JEFF SMITH
Big Crowd Sees Slow Bout at
St. Paul.


S. Paul. MINI. March li.-Mike
Gibbons won the unanimous decision
of newspaper critics tonight in a some
what slow ten-round bout with JEFF
smith. Of New York. Gibbons showed
little Of his famed wizard boxing be-
cause his opponent gave him few oppor-
:uri;ics. Jcf was on the defensive
throughout aad made Gibbons do two
thirds OF the leading.
Mike was unable to felnt Smith out.
and apparently he did not care TO take
too many chances himself by forcing
the pace too strongly. jeff seldom
landed on Mike except with left jab
or hook and on the inhghtlng he was
clearly shaded by his cleverer foe.
On the rare occasions that Smith
ventured 10 do some leading on his own
account Gibbons showed his phantom
Ike quckness i'm getting out of harms
way and returning instantly TO the at
tack.
After the first two rounds. which
we're tame and uninteresting, neither
boxer landed telling blow. Nike began
20 pull away from JEFF by sheer super
iority I'M boxing. He landed az least
two blows 10 Smiths one, and at the
close Of the tenth round jeff was
bleeding from cut over his right eye
and from his nose aiso.
Gibbons was unmarked. and was not
in distress at any stage Of the battle,
which was attended by one OF the larg-
est crowds that has ever seen a box
ing match in st. Paul. The receipts
exceeded 10000. of which Gibbons re-
ccivcd 80 per cent and Smith 20.

Dadmur, who played with the Tufts

Coolidge and IIarte. the ends. and

bcrs Of the senior class, were candi-
dates for the capteincy. and the ballot

Dadmun's election was made unanimous.

Harvard last fall. later being moved 20

trants will wcnd their way into the

chiefly OF athletes who won their spurs
