PLAYING TENNIS
During Summer Months Fits
College Players for Foot
ball Season.

In the mind of the average follower
of sport there is wide gulf between
football and tennis yet number OF
husky collegians spend their spring
and summer in welding a racquet
and find themselves fit in the fall for
strenuous season of varsity gridiron
work This is no new angle TO the
court game for twenty years ago the
college athlete was mixing football
and tennis but not to the extent that
prevails today. Robert d. Wrenn, the
retiring president Of the National
Lawn Tennis Association, and George
II. Adee, who is slated TO succeed him
we're rival quarterbacks in the ia
nous Yale-Harvard game at SPRING
field in 1894. Wrenn gave the signal
for Harvard while Adee acted as field
general for Yale and made the All
American eleven OF that year.
Veteran football enthusiasts will
never forget that game. Yale won II
to 4 but only after battle which was
more like modern warfare than foot
ball. Players were carried off the
gridlron in relays and the sidelines
resembled field hospital. AS re-
suit of the conflict the two universe
ties decided that they had enough foot
ball to last for several years and Har-
ward and Yale did not meet on the
gridiron again until 1897.

MoRGANToWN Jan. 22-Thei Athle-
tic committee Of West Virginia Univer-
slty held a meeting here Saturday
night to considers applications Of per-
sons wishing to coach West Virginia's
football team next season. Il
Twenty-one applications OF famous
football players and coaches from all
the leading colleges and universities
Of the United States were placed be-
fore the committee. Among the most
prominent and well known men on
the list were Myron Fuller of Yale;
Corbett, Of Harvard; Eddie Harlan,
Of Princeton; Bergman, Of Penn
State; Samp. of Wisconsin; Edward
Dennis, Of the University Of Pennsyl-
vanla; Haggerty, Of Georgetown, and
Red Fleming and Dave Morrow, Of
Washington and Jefferson. a.
The athletic committee did not select
a coach as a petition was presented
to the committee by member Of the
1915 team which was signed by every
letter man on the team asking the
committee to name Ellie Tobin and
Mont McIntire, who were. assistants
to Coach Sol Meter last year as
coaches for the 1916 team. The petit
ton asked that McIntire and Tobin
be jointly given charge Of the team
without head coach.
The committee after giving the petit
ton due consideration and wanting
time to consider the applications Of
the others, decided to hold another
meeting at Morgantown next Saturday
afternoon when coach will be named.
1t is the opinion Of al 1.-The student
body and the Morgantown townspeople
that the athletic committee should
name McIntire and Tobin coaches as
1t was mainly to their untiring eff
forts that the 1915 team was so sue
cessful. *

Harvard on May 1921. 1t is proposed
to send the California college cinder

vance of these games and 1t Is likely
that Stanford will be seen in one or
two dual track meets with leading
eastern universities before. the cham
pionship games. The travelling and
lodging expenses Of the crew and the
track team will cost at least $4,000,
so that it can be seen that Stanford
has mapped out an ambitious and eX-
pensive invasion of eastern sports
fields for the coming season.

Johnson-Tener triumvirate, it is pre-

close of the present year. Ban john
son has admitted that there has been
talk of dissolving the commission.
The fact that the commission did
not organize at its recent Cincinnati
meeting for several days after con-
yening was significant, and those in
close touch with things believe 1t
really marked the last election Of
Hermann as president Of the COM
mission, an office which he has held
since 1903.
Hermann is club owner in the

will be awarded TO the team winning
the championship. i;a
The first game will be played Mon
day night when the Colonial team will
meet the Imperial team. 1t has not

be played at the Imperial pool room
on West Main street.
The schedule for the remainder OF
the week is as follows: Wednesday
night, Glen Elk VS.. Colonial, Thurs
day night, Imperial VS.. X and H. and
Friday night the X, and H. VS.. the

BOUT BEARS ON
CHAMPIONSHIP
If Either Secures a Knockout in
the Thirty Minutes of Fight
ing He Will Be Champion.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-The proposed
bout between Willard and Frank Mo-
ran is, of unusual interest in that 1t
brings to bear upon the heavyweight
title several angles which are unusual
in ring contests wherein this title has
been involved. Under the laws of the
state of New York the boxers will
meet in what is termed ten round
sparring exhibition without decision
and IL both men are on their feet at
the expiration of thirty minutes Of
boxing future ring records will carry
the bout as a no-decision contest.
Consequently, the only way in which
the heavyweight championship could
pass from Willard, the holder. to Mo-
ran would be for the later to knock
out his opponent or win on a foul so
deliberate that there could be no ques-
ton as TO its intent. 1t can be seen
therefore that the chief interest in
the contest hinges on the probability
of either Willard or Moran knocking
out his opponent and thus demonstra-
ting decisive supremacy.
Since the days when heavywelghts
first donned gloves and fought under
Queensberry rules and ring records
show that knockouts in bouts
lin which champions have par
ticipated have averaged well over ten
rounds, Notwithstanding that the list
includes such powerful hitters as JEFF
fries, Fitzsimmons, Sharkey, Johnson
and Sullivan. Going back to the year
1882 when Corbett won from Sullivan
in twenty-one rounds, the tables show
that seven heavyweight title holders
fought eighteen battles in which the
championship was at stake.
These contests included those in
which the battles terminated In a
knockout or a referees decision. All
told 242 rounds were fought and the
average rounds to a knockout was ap-
proximately thirteen and one-ialf. In
the list Of ring battles are included
several In which poor opponents were
quickly disposed Of, such as the JEFF
fries Munroe and Burns-Squires bouts.
When the list is pruned to those in
which the title actually passed, the
average is still higher. From the time
corbett disposed Of Sullivan until VIII
lard punched Johnson into the ex-
championship class, seven title hold
ers rose and fell and the total num-
her of rounds necessary In the change
Of championships was 11S which gives
an average of very close to seventeen
rounds per title battle.
From these figures 1t will be seen
that the chances Of knockout in the
ten round bout between Willard and
