There Is no attempt to relieve the
neckllne of evening gowns when they
are deeply decollete. as the bodice Is
rarely OF heavy or Opaque material.

frock, which now means a frock worn
for lunch as well as tea, but not for
the ordinary purposes OF shopping or
patriotic work, with n deep U-shaped
decolletnge half filed In with a fiat
rufiie of lace, has met with sufficient
popularity to insure a reasonable

every side the expression OF pleased

BRITEHERS SAY WILDE
VICTIM OF PREJUDICE
Remember Words of Lynch and
Moore After Losing Bouts
in London.

LONDON, Dec. 8.-with surprise
fncredulity and disappointment to the
point OF alarm, Londoners heard the
news of the downfall" of their other
hstic idol. Jimmy Wilde. This was
doubly hard. coming so soon after the
Knockout Of Joe Beckett. Still feel
ing that the little 1ywelght cham
pion represents the last word in fight-
ing machinery, Britishers were in
clined to attribute his defeat by Jack
Sharkey In Milwaukee Saturday night
to be the result OF a decision caused
by anti-British sentiment
After their fights here with the
champion. in which they claimed they
were given a bum decision, Pal Moore
and Joe Lynch said, wait till we get
him in America" Londoners think
this decision was the first blow taken
by America in defense Of her ban
tamA Commenting on the. fight the
Telegraph said:
"Sharkey is not in the same class
with Wilde. 1t is hard to believe he
could even hold his own. We wonder
IL the decision was not Influenced by
feeling against Wilde"
MILWAUKEE. Wis, Dec. Slim
my Wilde today attributed his poor
showing against Jack Sharkey in
their fight here Saturday night to the
fact that he entered the ring weigh
ing several pounds above his normal
lighting weight
Wilde was forced to make lo7
pounds to fight under the Wisconsin
boxing rules.

CONFLICTING STORIES
ARISE FROM BIG TRIP

well-known colored gentleman seems
to be lurking somewhe+e in the Har-

reports about the cancellation Of the

The Harvard folks say the fuel ad-

while Mr.. Garfield. according to
Washington dispatches sent word to
Cambridge in answer to a request
from President Lowell for advice,
that he did not think that the trip
West would prove an unnecessary
hardship on fuel conservation and
that he perceived no reason why
Harvard should be criticized by do

VIRGINIA STUDENTS
ASK MANY CHANGES
Charlottesville Men Want Pro-
fessionaI Coaching System
In Football Next Year.

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va. Dec. B.
The question Of professional coaches
for the University Of Virginia is now
squarely up to the faculty of the uni
versity, and more particularly in the
hands OF DR.. w. A. Lambeth and DR..
E. A. lie Fevres vitality interested In
athletics.
At a mass meeting OF the G. A. A.
last night In Madison Hall more than
500 Virginia students went on record
as favoring professional coaching
system as against the present alumni
system in vogue In football
While the alumni system had sev.
eral adherents in the case of DR.. Dave
Wilson, last years G. A A. president,
the majority Of speakers favored the
professional coaching policy. Letters
and kilograms from former alumni
coaches advocating the professional
system were read.
Spoke Of Football
Goodwin Kuyk and Eddie Russell,
member Of this years varsity team,
favored the profe ssional system. This
years eleven was sent through q Pc
culiar program in games, and some
discomfort was expressed in the uni.
versity and by visiting alumni in the
way the selection was made
For more than three years there ap-
pears to have been a deciding leaning
toward the professional system. Con-
siderable satisfaction has always been
expressed at the way in which H. II.
Lanigan. familiarly known as TOP
Lanigan. has coached the track and
basketball teams.
Lanigan has been with Virginia for
many years and has always turned
out winning teams despite the handi-
cap of not being allowed sufficiently
extensive competition. The basket
ball teamas have met with unauali-
fed successes.
Another thing which has stuck In
the craw or the Virginia student body
is the fact that the freshman rule was
inaugurated, which, in a university
Of the size OF Virginia. is thought to
be too much Of a handicap.
Schedule Caused Talk.
The policy Of schedules is still an
other matter which has caused the
S, loent BODY considerable dissatis-
tion. The staging OF big games away
from home and the failure to take on
representative teams in the section
has somewhat nettled the Virginians,
While no definite charges have ever
been made by the students IL ha.
ceen rumored that one or two|faculty
members have succeeded in throttling
the athletic life OF the institution. he
attitude OF Virginia has been mis-
taken in many quarters on this ac-
count and no clear or definite policy
has been forthcoming either to the
students or followers.
FROM the meetings here during the
last month something of a very defln-
ite nature is expected in the near
iuture. recommendations asking for
changes will probably be pushed to
the limit by students and alumni
members alike.

Porch Climbing Shot

The "porch-climbing" or @squir-

viii be barred this year again.
Basketers who climb the wall
under the basket and drop the
ball through the net viii be Pc
nalized.
The rules state that the wall
back Of the board which holds
the basket is "out Of bounds"
and that q player climbing the
wall is out Of bounds and there
fore the basket made in this
manner is barred.
But what if the basket is
right on a brick wall and not on
a boaId," said one of the coaches
at the recent basketball meeting
here.
"All 'porch-climbing' or 'squir-
rel basket shooting is barred"
was the rejoinder. And it's up
to the referee"

New York Would Have
Boxing Again

EW/YORK, Dec. S.-As soon
as the legislature convenes at
Albany an effort will be made
to legalize boxing in New York
State with bouts of ten or if
teen rounds. Senator James ].
Walker will introduce a bill
framed by the Army, Navy and
Civilian Board Of Boxing Con-
troll and indorsed by the new
International Sporting Club,
which expects to make its debut
in March with Jimmy Wilde, the
worlds hyweight champion, as
Its feature performer.
The Army Board, according to
the bill, will have supreme
authority to grant or refuse
licenSes and to make decisions
in all cases involving violations
OF the rules by boxers, managers.
promoters or ring officials.

American boxing follower recalls the
quick triumph of Terry McGovern over
the Englishman, Pedlar Palmer. The Sc
two featherweights met at Tuckahoe
and II was all over inside OF one

beat him to the ground with a bonn
