PITTSBURG TEAM Is SENSATION

and sax the list OF students. their
prep schools. how they passed their
entrance requirements and their
standings in the elassrooms, which
are compiled every week. There isn't

Pittsburg. All of which goes to prove
that Pitt now is drawing the students
who once preferred to attend the
Eastern colleges.
Bars Freshmen
Z The one-year rule, which bars fresh
men from participating in varsity ath-
Ietics, went into effect this year and
the college now stands on par with
the others in the East and West. The
entrance requirements, too, are very
strict, and only recognized prep
school graduates have chance to en-

fame as an educational institution,
and the graduates from the profess

at Fred Fulton, in hope that he would
furnish a little argument for the big

Few Champions
Ii has been 81 years since John L.
Sullivan won the championship OF
America from Paddy Ryan in Missis-
sippi. Ten years later Jim Corbett
took the crown from Sullivan in their
memorable battle in 1892 in New Or
leans. Five years later Bob Fitzsim-
mons, the Australian. took the title
away from Corbett at Carson. Two
years later, Jeffries defeated Lanky
Bob and retained the title, until 1906
when the champion declared the title
void. Then Tommy Burns took the
crown and lost It 10 Jack Johnson in
1903. For seven years the colored
champion held sway until he lost il
last wear to Jess Willard.
A number of candidates have come
up to take the crown away from Will
lard, but Moran and Coffey proved OF
poor caliber, and Fulton. is the only
candidate for the office at present.
That the caliber of present day fight
ers is far below the average is ac-
knowledged by nearly all critics. Cali.
fornia has only short bouts. and here
in Honolulu the fans have to be salts

Jack O'Brien are gone. and few bat

Dempsey. In recording the men Of
the year in the ringed circle, 1916 lost
friend of the game in Billy Jordan,
who was one of the most noted fig
ures in the realms of the squared cir
Gle. Jordan lasted longer than box
ing in California, and the one regret
of the announcer was that he had
to see the sturdy game die out in his
home state.
Without a doubt the middleweight
championship of the world goes to
Australia this year. Les Darcy, who
was the pride OF the Antipodes up to a
few weeks ago, when he quietly
slipped out of the country for Amer
lea without informing the public, has
the best claim to the title. Darcy
has defeated Eddie McGoorty, George
Chip, Jimmy Clabby, Buck Grouse and
other noted ringsters in Sydney.

Kid Williams still retains the title
in the bantamWeight class, although
there have been many arguments on
this point this year. Johnny Ertle OF
st. Paul lays claim to the title be-
cause he won on foul IN 1915. Will

feated Johnny Coulon, Eddie Campi

can retain the title through the COM
