field will be used to stage some of

will be played on Thanksgiving. will
be the only conference game that will
be played at home. 1t is expected
that the Grinnel1 game will be one
OF the hardest on the schedule as the

| NEW YORK, April 3.-Tom GID
bons. the most neglected middleweigh'
or light heavyweight the country
knows today, has slipped overnight
/ into the shoes OF his more illustrious
brother, Mike. so far as the middle
weight championship is concerned.
! The sporting editor Of The United
Press has al hand letter from Eddie
Kane. manager OF Tom. IN which Ed
die says Mike has gone into the bust
ness of training young men for the war
and that il is very doubtful il he ever
engages in :: real fight again And
Mike has turned over his laurels TO
Tom to defend. Keeping it in the
family IS Mikes idea and he is posi-
tive Tom Will prove better defender
CT what belongs to the fighting Glib
bonses than Mike did.
Tom Gibbons has been fighting long
er and with more results than many
boxers of less real ability who are get
ting more praise for their efforts. Per
haps the secret lies in the fact that
Tom has absorbed limelight killing
stunt OF his brother's-letting his OPP
ponents stay, for the most part with
out bothering his head to try for a
knockout
Anyhow, Tom has Mikes shoes and
is wearing them. Whether he will be
unceremont ously yanked out of them
some of these fine days by one Of the
many middleweights and promising
light heavies remains to be seen. Fact
is. though. that none Of the light
heavies nor middles has been able to
separate Tom from a victory in many
and many day.
Mikes devotion to the army through
his connection with it as boxing in
structor at Camp Dodge. Iowa,
amounts to almost a mania. Always
thorough when he was learning to box
and all through his career as star of
his weight. Mike has gone in for this
bayonet stuff with both hands-and
feet He Is rated far above most
bayonet experts.
'I believe Mike will end up with
high honors in the army" Kane de-
clares in the letter which bears the
news OF Mikes retirement.
Mike has tried hard and long to get
the public to accept Tommy Gibbons
as an honest-to-goodness fighter Of the
old Gibbons type, but somehow the
publicity that always attended every
thing Mike did, simply WOULDN'T at
tach itself to Tom for Mike. Now that
Mike has ducked the thing and turned
Tom loose on the world there may be
a different story to tell, for there are
many stars Of the middle and light
heavy division who can kick up suf
fcient interest for Tom to get credit.
Mike ODowd and Harry Greb are two

down before he can sit up and howl
