that Burns had had only one week to
train for the fight and was not in
condition to go the 15-round route.

blocking, especially on the part of
Burns. Burns. who looked fat and
out of condition, showed aE tnclina-
ton TO block and clinch instead Of

with good deal of feinttnS and
clinching on the part of both. Pur-
year took the fourth by shade, also
the firth by margin, breaking loose
from Burns and landing a number or
body blows and several uppercuts to
the face. They slowed down again In
the sixth which was a draw. Puryear
shaded him in the final four. with the
exception of the eighth, which he won
by a margin, displaying is best form
during the bout.

Still others have been about divers

All. however. have been about one

However. we heard one last night
that we thot was pretty good.
1t was about a comedian.
A comedian in New York.
He was doing a vaudeville act
A single, in fact.
At length he finished his piece and
skipped off the rostrum amid the bIarc

But the applause was somewhat sub
dued.
Rather puny. as it were.
Way up in negro or peanut heaven
an individual slightly under the influ-

He clapped his hands loudly.
"More, more" he beseeched.
Whereupon the comedian pranced

In a voice that shook the opery hall
from basement TO rigging loft he oel-
lowed:
"Yeah, more and funnier."
q The comedian withdrew.
He attempted no more.
And we don't blame him.
1t was enough to dampen the ardor

Still we can appreciate the gallery

One OF the most radical changes in
college sports caused by the war is
that o. opening the cham pionship
events TO freshmen. For the existence
of the so-called freshman rule which
prohibits first-year men engaging in
cham pio nship competitions there are
two excuses: first. that a student
should devote his entire attention the
first year in school'to his studies. lay
ing a solid foundation tor the educa-
ton he ia there to secure; second. and
really the main reason, is TO keep
down professionalism.

when war first broke, there was .
rush to put the damper on sports.
Some of the more radical, the kind OF
people who govern the sports which
generally are classed as purely anna
teurish, decided that the denial wave
which swept the country meant every
thing should give up something be-
case of the war. First to take such
action was the national tennis COM
mittee, closely followed by the national
golf committee, which decided to do
away with championships and ratings
for the duration of the war. conduct
ing the games for heir athletic bene-
fits entirely. Just about as quick was
the decision on the part of some Of
the eastern universities to cut out COM
petitIve sports confining their efforts
entirely to intra mural sports merely
for the sake OF the exercise they gave.

Opposition to this sentiment was
voiced loudest by those who were

in II, principally baseball. With
these extremists pulling both ways.
il begins to look as If the happy
medium of sport for sports sake
Is to be the basis of sports thru
out the war period. Sport for
sports sake differs from sports
for athletics sake in that champ
ionships will be won and ratings
Wills be made. II differs from
sport 4er moneys sake in that 1t
will not be conducted for the pur-
pose of making money. 1t means
that the championships Will be re-
instated but that bank accounts
will not be accumulated. 1t means
practically the elimination of pro-
