VIRGINIA CUNT BATTLES
CAROLINA FIVE TONIGHT

Chapel Hill. n. c., Feb. 2s.--On tho
eve of the Virginia trip. Carolina
stock took a decided drop when Cap
tain "Rahy' Tennent was carried
from a practice game with a badly
sprained ankle. It Is possible that he
will be allowed to make the trip and
even get in the game with Virginia
at I.ynchburg Saturday. However. 1t
now seems probable that Cuthbertson
will be called upon to take his place.
For the past ten days Coach Pea
cock has laid special emphasis on
passing. A marked improvement was
noticeable In this department of the
game during the game with v. p. /.
last week. This resulted in a more
developed system Of team work. In
case Tennent's injuries prevent his
going in the game. the team work
will be hampered to a certain extent.
However. Cuthbertson IL picking up
much OF this in pract!cing regularly
with the first team.

GEORGE S|LER GAVE
A RARE DECISION
Ring is Given Decision by
Referee.

Tho talk which the decision made
by Blly Recap against Kid Williams
in New Orleans has brought to light
a number OF stories of freak decisions,
but the star yarn has to do with
George Sler in a bout between Frank
BARLEY. of Binghamton. and Shorty
Ahearn years ago in a Western city,
states the Buffalo News. BARLEY was
fast. shifty boxer. and Ahearn was
a short stocky and powerful negro.
BARLEY tried TO put on a whirlwind
finish in the sixth--six rounds was the
limit. Faster and faster he rained
them in. and the stolid colored man
took 1t all. apparently no longer try
ing even to return the blows. Then
something happened n thick brown
arm shot suddenly upward, and the
ApoIo-lilSe BARLEY toppled over ny
the ropes. He went down with thud,
eyes closed. arms outdung. Ahearn,
by one beautifully chosen uppercut,
had knocked him cold.
Z Gong Stops Count.
AS Siler counted seven the gong rang.
Instantly George bent down to the
sleeping boxer. lifted his limp arm in
the air. and proclaimed the knocked
out man the winner. The necessary
riot that followed for some fifteen
minutes precluded any chance OF ask
ing George the reasons. but after the
fight had died down and the police were
removing the slain. the old referee gave
out this explanation;
THE bout was for six rounds only.
Barley outpointed Ahearn SO far that
one knockdown at the close could not
offset the margin. Had / been able to
count ten over BARLEY. Ahearn would
have won on a knockout. AS the gong
rang. ending not only the round. but
the fight, as I was counting seven that
knockdown counted no more than any
other knockdown. which does not end in
cunt OF ten. onsequently, as the
gong ended the battle and as Bartley's
margin could not be equaied by one
Touchdown. BARLEY is the winner on
points"
That decision caused vast amount
OF discussion and debating. but. all
points considered. IL Is now generally
acknowledged that old George rendered
the verdict properly-the knocked out
fighter therefore defeated the man who
knocked him cold.
