individual event and by bowling 702
went into the lead in the individual
standing at the American Bowling Con-

in nine pins of equalling the world

Styles started his wonderful bowling
by making 247 in his first game, added
233 in his second and, despite the fact
that he got two bad breaks in the two
initial frames of his final game, finished
out in grand style by bowling 222.

Haiines
Chooses 'Varsitv;
Harvard Crew

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March g.
Coach Bill Haines of the Harvard
varsity crew. has selected provisional
varsity eight and set them to work
on the rowing machines until the ice
disappears from the river, when navi-
cation near the boathousc viii be pos
slble. On this eight are four men
who rowed against Yale when they
were freshmen. Richard S. Emmct
captained the 1919 crew and Frank
Parkman and Fred Whitman were with
him in the eight when it forced the
Blue to take its backwash on the
Thames in 1916. Cass Garfield. who
is rowing bow. was on the victorious
freshman four of that year.
Emmct is stroking the crew, whck
is the same position he rowcd as a
yearling Men who know oarsmen pro-
nounccd him, although comparatively
without experience. as one of the best
strokes Harvard has had in recent
years. Parkman is rowing No. 7 and
Whitman No. 6.
John Lindcr. a Junior. is rowing at
No. 5, c. T.. Batcheldcr at No. a, G.. C.
Noycs at No. and r. Bowen at No.
Z. The last three men were members
of the 1920 squad, which was dis
banded when war was declared in
April
OF course, there is hardly chance
that Haines will keep this eight intact
until the Yale race-two, and probably
three, men really have no place on it
but it will take somc time to develop
men who can fill their places better
Now. more so than ever before, it is 10
to be the survival of the iittcst in
Harvard rowing.
Fifty-fvc men reported for the var
slty squad. which is about thirty less
than last year and fifty-thrce less than
i'll 1916. Only tifty-three freshmen
were on hand, and this is much
sadder showing than in 1917 or 1913.

Boxing News and Notes
BY FRED HAWTHORNE.

For this morning, at any rate, we
have sworn more or less solemn oath
that the name of the heavyweight
champion of the world shall not dis
port itself in this colmun. Just watch
US closely and note that we have moth
ing up our sleeve. All right, professor,
just bit Of slow music.
Reports from st. Louis quote Jack
Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey, as
saying he has positive assurance from
j W, the heavyweight cham
pion, that he will not consider a bout
with Fred Fulton until the Terocious
One has met and defeated Dempsey.
A. few days ago the circus proprietor
declared that Fulton had earned the
right to a championship fight and that
he, the circus proprietor. was willing
and ready to face Fulton for any num-
Der Of rounds, to decision. if Fero-
cious and Frantic Fred was reason
able" in his demands.
Kearns states that he is willing to
wager $4,000 that Dempsey can defeat
Fulton at any distance from six to
twenty rounds, and that promoters in
Baltimore, Boston, Milwaukee, Joplin,
Mo, and Denver are ready to stage
such a bout.
Which brings us back to the old
starting off place-what does the heavy
weight champion intend tc do? One
day he wakes up, summons an amanu-
cnSls, and announces that Dempsey is
the ideal candidate for a crack at the
title. The next morning he prepares
a legal document setting forth the fact
that Fulton is just the 1ighl size for a
challenger, and the following night he
talks in his sleep and sputters that
Dempsey and Fulton must fight it out
first, leaving the winner to battle for
the crown.
OF course, the latter is the proper
course to pursue and the only one that
will satisfy the public, bat j W
must have some other reason for desir-
ing such n thing. Perhaps the Pacifist
from Pottawatomie hopes that Fulton
will. hit Dempsey so HARD that Jack
will lose the use of his limbs for the
rest Of his life and will have to be
pushed around in Il wheel chair, and
that at the same instant Jack will crash
one against Fred's waistband so angrily
that Dempsey will never be the same
man again. This would clarity the situ-
alton perceptbly and would leave the
circus owner free to name TOM cow
LER as his only logical opponent.
1t is with the hope that Mr.. Shonts
will be moved to write ono of his sub
way odes. that we print The following
casualty report of wounds sustained by
Fremont Wilson in the Shonts Trench
yesterday, while attempting to inter
fere with the exercise of the playful
lnterborough guards who work the side
doors.
Mr.. Wilson will be remembered by
boxing fans as the man who managed
Madison Square Garden at the time
when the late Les Darcy arrived. in this
city when Les was matched for bout
there with Jack Dillon or some other
middleweight worthy. Mr.. Wilson was
a good Garden manager, but what he
doesn't know about the Shorts subway
side doors is considerable.
Good old Fremont was just about. to
step off the car through the side door
yesterday, when the guard caught him
in the act and foIed the plot. First he
pulled the door half way shut and then,
ns his victim stepped back hurriedly
