Dublin Giant Superior In Clean Hitting

New York. April sS.-Jim Cofrey. the Dublin Giant, outfought Carl Morris of Oklahoma in ten round bout here tonight. Coftey had the better oe seven rounds, while Morris placed the rfth, sixth and seventh rounds to his credit.
 Morris. who weighed s24 pounds to Coffey's IsS 1-2, continually bored in. but Coftey was the superior in clean hitting and general ring work. In the second round Coffey opened a cut over the westerner's left eye. Morris short arm blows at close quarters began to show their effect in the fifth when Coffey weakened and was unable to force his opponent away. Tn the sixth and seventh Morris continued to crowd his man. Coffey, however, recuperaetd in the eighth and for the remainder of the bout was able to force the light tng at long range.
 At the end of the contest the men continued the exchange of blows. but the referee separated them and made them shake hands.

PATRIOTIC SPIRIT OF COLLEGE MEN|
Many Athletes Have Enrolled in Various Branches of U g. servce-Sport Schedules Have Been Cancelled in Many Instances.

cause might better be furthered for the present by such voluntary action. The idea was to end activity in sport until 1t was learned what the feeling has been . great amount of financial sacrifice entafIed in this course, az huch so as would be the case had either or both of the professional base the start Of the regular season, Coaches and trainers have been re- tained, equipment purchased and all plans laid for the spring season. But the income from games is not to foi- Iege athletic bodies have made in the way of sacrifice.
 And what is the feeling of the coun- try toward the rsestabifsbmsnt of fn- tercoIiesiats athletic contests Our and while military training will occupy
 much of the spare time allowed the undcrgraduates there yet remains an allowance for sport. What fs ths feel ing about athIetfcs?
 So far as the writer is able to judge athletics will be resumed during the fall term. This is not based on the newspaper statements that trainers and coaches are being retained while schedules and the signing Up of new coaches are being announced/ It is based on the fact that sport is an aid in Eliiitary training and that ns such ghould nave It's place. Just what form 1t is to take is the question.
 Everyone is in for a curtatinent of expenses, Economy is the watch word. There are advocates of iptra- mural sport to be heard from. whose doctrines will be dealt with in future article. And there are the advocates 0 fintercoiIegiate sport. who have held sway in the past.
 Tn all this talk about economy it seems to the writer that logical soIu- ton is one that would also be patriotic This would call for the curtaiIment of all expenses in the preparation of in- tercoliegiate teams, such as, by way of suggestion, the abandonment of the training table, the reduction of the number of players to take trips. the lessenfng of time given to practice and the playing of such games only as have hitherto shown a profit. It seems to him if football is to be played this fall-and it seems assured at many i'm stitutions that our college athletic authorities have a golden opportunity to band together for the purpose of deyoting a certain part of the profit from all games played toward the maintenance of such branch of the government service. such as the Am bulance, Aviation or Hospital corps. While there are those who believe that now the country will have no zest for athletic competition and that no sport will pay it must be remembered that

 It has often been said that college spirit, which has been fostered by fn- tercoiIegfate athletics. is akin to pat national situation this expression has becche a4 truth. The wholesale can- ce1iation of intercollegiate athletic contests ~ in many instances great financial sacrfhce-the enrolment of service and the systematic military training which has long been in pro- aTess at many Of our educational tn- stftutions and will continue are proof of the patriotic spirit of college men. And so marked is the military tenden- cy among college athletes that ft would seem as though intercollegiate athletics are over until peace Is had.
 The writer has discussed this last situation with many men who seem best able to forecast what conrpe fs to be pursued during hogti1itfes. It is the consensus of opinion that fntercolleRf- ate athletes will be continued in somewhat restricted form by the time the country has settled down to the struggle facing 1t. This view is based on three things:
 First, there is the English precedent. When the great war began fntercoIle- giate athletics were abandoned at tine bridge and Oxford: but when 1t was well under way, with these institutions still open. athletics, as matter of course. were resumed.
 Second, there is the feeling which will not down and which apparently has the governments approval, be- cause schedules with other institu- tions were not cancelled at either West Point or Annapolis. that athletic sports are a part of military prepara- tion. Certainly, no influence had done more to preserve physical standard in the United States than sport. both amateur and professional. These facts have been brought out clearly by army and navy officials
 Third, it is recognized that nation at war needs relaxation. This being true there appears no better way of supplying it than by holding athletic games, Especially if they can be made to aid the cause either directly or in- directly.
 While it is certain that intercolIegi- ate schedules in many instances would have been cancelled because entire teams and crews were enlisted in the various branches of the service. it must also be rememberd that all gan1s were called off by many inn mediately upon the declaration of war and from the highest patriotic motives. The athletic authorities had no pre- cedent to go by yet they felt that the
