ANOTHER BLACKEYE
FOR BOXING GlME
Miske-Creb Contest in Pa.
Shows the Need for
Decisions
TAME BOUTS ARE
HURTING HE SPORT

The bout between Billy Mlske and
Harry Greb. which resulted in The dis
barment Of the ST. Paul hcavyweight
from further contests IN Allegheny
county, Pennsylvania. furnishes an un-
savOry example OF the vicious influence
on boxing OF the stupid system OF de-
ciSiOnless encounters. Those who are
familiar with the capabilities OF the
men are aware that Gre5. an awkward
40 FOUNDER, has little business in the
same ring with Miske. who Is a for
midable heavyweight and now scales
more than $50 pounds.
While the details OF the arrangement
probably never will be known, the ref
ere and r.ngside spectators agree that
Mlske was attempting 10 give the i'm
preston that Greb was a good match
for him. This carries with 10 the in
eyltable conclusion that Mlske was
boxing under an agreement not 10

ARBUCKLE Wins
COLLEGE MEET
Scores III Points in Com
petition Among SO
Students
CRAIG is SECOND
AND LOOSE THIRD

Last week finished the weekly athle-
tic meets at Delaware College, with Paul
Taylor Arbuckle, Jr., winning the high
honors, J. Gilbert Craig a close second
and Harry w. Loose third man on the
list. The series Of events was finished
"Wednesday afternoon, when the broad
jump, high jump and the 22O-yard high
hurdles were run of. The scores Of the
three medal winners in the meet were
as follows: Arbuckle, III points
Craig, i0j 7-iO points; Loose, % 7-iO
points. The medals were awarded at
the chapel exercises Sunday morning.
The first prize Is a gold medal with the
raised seal Of Delaware College upon its
face. The second and third medals are
respectively silver and bronze OF the
same general type as the first prize. The
medals are engraved on the back with
the following words: Delaware Col
lege Weekly Athletic Meets" The three
winners are extremely pleased with
the medals and are receiving the con-
gratulations Of their fellow college
mates.
This series Of events, as Dean Smith
pointed out in his presentation speech.
is an Innovation at Delaware College,
but despite this fact, the experiment
which was suggested by Coach lie Cato
and Coach Shipley has been a success
and will be repeated next year. Next
year the scope Of the events will be
broadencd considerably and thus more
men will have a chance to participate
in the events. The number Of the
medals 10 be awarded will be in
creased also, probably about 1--WE being
given next year. Dean Smith then re-
cited some statistics Of the meet. In all
nfty different students participated,
this being about % per cent. Of the
total enrolment Of the college. Of
these fifty. only seventeen had any con-
nectlon with any Of the varsity teams
Of the college. thus a large number OF
students were induced TO take thisl
stimulating exercise that probably
would have not done so otherwise. The
Dean also commented upon the fact
that Il was the man who entered into
every event and gave a consistent per-
formance that won rather than the
man who was good in some events and
took first place In them, while ne
skipped altogether some OF the events
The completion as a whole has been
"a decided success and Coach lie Cato
Is being congratulated upon the step ne |
has taken TO raise the standard OF ath-
letics at Delaware College.
