points.
At least, this is what the fight fans
of New York are saying, and they
believe that Jack Dillon, the Indian.
apolis Bearcat, would be capable of
standing toe to toe and exchanging
wallops with the boy from the Land of
the kangaroo.
Does Not Kill EN- All.
A glance at Darcy's record shows
that Brown is not the only American
boxer of the stand-up -and-slug type
with him. Gus Christie met him in
1914 and went the full route. Eddie
McGoorty stayed twenty rounds the
first time he met Darcy and lost his
second bout in eight rounds.
If Brown and Christie are good
enough to stand up with Darcy and
battle over the long route, why not
such boxers as Gibbons and such
punchers as Dillon and Miske? Here's
Darcy's record for your perusal:

147-pound Journeys.

Outlook for Successful Season
Is Brighter at Washburn.

Playing their first regular game of
tho season, the Washburn basketball
quintet defeated a team from the Y.
NJ c. A league Tuesday night by the
score of "a to 81. Both teams played
peppery ball thruout, but the SUI
periority of the Ichabods over their
opponents who have been playing
regularly for several weeks was sur
prise to the "Y" men. The Ichabods
threw some pretty goals from diff
cult positions, and the showing was
such that both of the Washburn
coaches are confident their team will
give a good account of itself in the
opening game of the regular schedule
against *. u. al Lawrence next Tues
day night.
Another practice game will prob
ably be played the latter part of the
week, Doctor Kennedy and Manager
Heller having made arrangements to
bring a Haskell Indian five to To-

Darcy Has Always Been Used
to 20-ROund Bouts.
Short Engagements May Handi-
cap Australian.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, Jan. 3.-Will Lester
Darcy find the ten-round game to his
liking?
Here is a question the fight bugs
around New York are asking each
other today.
They point out that Darcy has be-
come so used to the twenty-round
route he will find the ten-round game
stumbling block and may be sur
prised by the pace set by our best mid
die and light heavyweight boxers.
The fact that two vastly d1fferent
boxers-Jimmy Clabby and George
(Knockout) Brown-stood Darcy off
for twenty rounds in Australia, may
mean something Clabby is the best
American boxer who has invaded the
Antipodes, according to Darcy him
self. Brown, who doesn't pretend to
know the fine points of the game, was
tough enough to stick it out with
Darcy over the long route.
Outlook Not Roseate.
Now what will such boxers as Mike
Gibbons or Billy Miske be able to do
against Darcy in a ten-round setto?
There's food for thought here.
Many fistic bugs believe that either
of these ST. Paul knuckledusterS will
be in line to outpOint the Australian
over the ten-round route, and as long
as they keep away from his sleep
producing maulers they will have an
advantage over him.
Gibbons, despite several poor show
ings in New York. is admittedly the
fastest ten-round boxer in the country
today, and Miske is coming fast. All
that either need do is evade the fly
ing Sledge hammers attached to
Darcy's flail-ike arms, and the end of
a ten-round bout should find them on
