battle Eastern High eleven. Both
have been beaten in their initial
starts in the series, Business falling
before the plucky Western team. and
Eastern being swamped by the cham

Friday will take a slight edge of
the battle today. but those who jour-

are sure of witnessing a real game,
as Eastern has always been known
for its spirited teams and this sea-

Manager Also Explains Why Benny
[ Has Not Enlisted in Army.

Referring to an article which pointed
out that Benny Leonard is not a lieu
tenant in the United States army,
William Gibson, the lightweight
champions manager, has written a
letter to the Sporting Editor denying
that either he or Leonard ever claimed
that the boxer is a lieutenant. He
says that the introduction of Leon
ard from the ring of the Harlem
Sporting Club as a lieutenant on the
night Benny fought Jack Britton was
not authorized by him. and that he
does not consider 1t fair to criticize
him for 1t.
Regarding the assertion that Leon
ard had failed to enlist after his
promise to do SO, made the day be-
fore he won the lightweight title from
Freddie Welsh. Gibson writes that
Leonard had partly arranged to join
the aviation corps, when Robert Ed
gren, a member of the committee on
athletic activities, personally asked
Leonard to withdraw, temporarily at
least. his application for enlistment,
that he might assist In organizing a
corps of instructors in athletics in
the various training camps"
SOtS OI 10 lIldl
Leonard has been unjustly criticised.
as no mention was made of the nu-
merous times the champion appeared
for patriotic benefit. Red Cross ba-
zaars. etc, and states that he has
boxed at such affairs on an avera ge
of three times a week, thus helping
TO raise approximately 100000 in the
United States and Canada.
In closing, Gibson writes:
1T should not be overlooked that
in picking Leonard for that special
class of work. the officials of the gov
ernment evidently decided that Leon
ard could do the most good and be
of better service in that line. That
particular service was not his choice,
as I have stated previously in this
letter. 1t would have been the Avia-
ton Corps otherwise.

written by Flossie Gardner for
"The Student, last February
The stars shone out so brightly
One night, long years ago;
The air was keen, was clear and cold,
And the ground was covered with
snow.
The shepherds herding flocks by night
Were startled from their dreams
BY hearing angels from on high,
Singing glorious strains.
Gladness they now were telling,
With their sweet, melodious gems,
OF the birth of little baby
In the land of Bethlehem.
The dear babe was the Christ-child
OF noble, humble birth,
Whose cradle was Manager,
The lowliest on the earth.
One star of glorious splendor
Out shone all the rest,
And sailed across the heavens
Above the mountins crest;
Sailed out to be the true guide
For the wise men travelling far,
Who were seeking our blessed Savior,
And who found him by the star.
They found him wrapped in swaddling
And sleeping peacefully
A very appropriate beginning
For the Prince he was to be.
He became the "Prince Of Peace"
OF love, forgiveness and joy,
Who gave us many blessings,
That Innocent, baby boy.

Harry Kelly is the mans name. Be
