with a record of having won the cham

feating Private Basham.' After winning
that title. Dyer journeyed TO South
Africa. where he fought many impor-
tant battles. He defeated Fritz Hol-
land, the big American middlewelght,
in twenty rounds at the Stadium, Mel
bourne. and boxed Les Darcy twenty
rounds, losing on points. In both the
latter contests he gave way much
weight. In fact. Dyer has been fight
ing middleweights in Australia, as
there was not any welterweights to
compete with him.
"He gave away about twenty five
pounds TO Fritz Holland. and Darcy
out-scaled him thirteen pounds. Dyer

COLUMBIA BREAKS ALL
RECORDS AT HOCKEY
Didn't Win Nor Lose in Two
Years-Ice Was Lacking.

The Columbia hockey team of 1915
'l6 had the unique record of neither
winning nor losing single game. IL
accomplished this odd sporting record
by the comparatively simple process
Of not p aging a single game.
The season" finished yesterday with
what was to have been game between
Columbia and the Massachusetts, Ag-
eIes. There was no ice. This WAS
rather expected, as there had been no
ice on seven other occasions on which
the Morningside team had games
scheduled.
Some forty candidates worked hard
20 make the Blue and White hockey
team. The exercise was first class. In
two years that he has captained the
Columbia hockey team Jack Webb has
played one game. The hockey team
disbanded quietly yesterday afternoon.

tonight, when II was announced that
Jacobs and Buchsns.. would be ineli-

Jacobs has been playing captain. Bur

OF the strongest substitutes on the

himself to academy games and playing
billiards daily for exercise. At the age
