SECOND BATTLE
Rock Island High School Basket
ball Ladies' Up Against
Fast Team.

Tonight at o'clock in the local
Y gym the Rock Island high school
basketball team will play Abingdon
and incidentally one of the fastest
teams it has met this season.
The locals are expected to win
because of a previous victory earl
fer in the season. In this game the
Islanders were outplayed in the
first half, but surged ahead in the
final lap and won by the score of
20 to Is. Abingdon's score of Is

season.
Both teams are in best condition
possible and local basketball fans
are expecting a whirlwind game.

Fight fans all over our fair land
are already picking the winner of
the Jess WiIIard-Jack Dempsey
battle for the heavyweight title, to
be staged next July.
In many instances, however, the
fan picks Willard to win simply be-
cause of his great size, because he
is "a wise old bird or because "he
wouldn't take a chance if he
thought Dempsey could lick him"
Likewise many fans who are
banking on Dempsey have chosen
him to win simply because he has
been knocking 'em all down, be-
cause 'fhe is young and full of pep"
or because 'the big guy has held
the title long enough"
Laying aside ones personal opin-
ion and desire in the matter, each
enc of the fighters has some ad-
Tantages over the other which are
not open to dispute.
Willard has these points In
his favor:
He is taller.
He is the heavier.
He has q greater reach.
He has had at least one long,
grueling battle.
