MOUNTAINEERS WILL PLAY
OHIO WESLEYAN eleven

MORGANTOWN, W. Va. Feb. 10
West Virginia University added an
other important football game to its
1919 schedule today. when an agree
ment was reached with Ohio Wes-
Ieyan University to play here on Sat
urday. November %.
This game comes on the Saturday
between the proposed Rutgers clash
at New Brunswick and that big finale
OF the season with Washington and
Jefferson here on Thanksgiving Day.
While the Ohioans are known to have
teams of uniform strength, IL is not
felt that the contest will prove too
difficult TO be sandwiched in between
the contest with Rutgers and Wash
ingtOn and Jefferson.
1t will be the third time that the
football teams of Ohio Wesleyan and
West Virginia have met. In 1900 the
first game was played. West Virginia
nOsinE ont as victor by the score OF
6 TO 3, and again in 1904 West Fir-
ginia won by the count OF 10 to IL.

exciting. according to the records.

American heavyweight history
dates from the victory Of John L.
Sullivan over Paddy Ryan at Missis-
sippi City, February z, 1882. Ryan
was knocked out in nine rounds.
But when Sullivan succumbed more
than ten years later to the youthful
James J. Corbett, he managed to
stay on his feet until the twenty
hrst round.
Bob Fitzsimmons won from Jim
Corbett at Carson City, New, March
Il. 1897, but it was not till the four
teenth round that the angular Aus
tralian was able to put over his
solar plexus punch.
Jim JefSries defeated Fitzsimmons
for the worlds championship at
COney Island, June 1899. in eleven
rounds.
JOhnsOn's Two Victories.
Jack Johnson's two victories briag-
ing him the rings greatest hOno-s
were considerably longer than the dis
tance set by Dempsey for his own
over willard. He had to go fourteen
rounds TO defeat Tommy Burns at
West Sydney, Australia, and fifteen
rounds TO upset the once formidable
Jim Jenries.
The increased length of recent ba.-
ties for the heavyweight title offers
the basis for many an argument con-
cerning the relative abilities Of old
time boxers, and those OF today. Jonn-
son, for instance. a 200-pounder, gitt-
I'd with remarkable cleverness. failed
to dispose of the 165-pOund Stanley
KetcheI until the fourteenth round.
Tommy Burns claimed that the polite
should never have prevented his con-
tinuing after the fourteenth, while
the shell Of Jim Jeffries lasted fifteen
rounds.
If these arguments mean anything,
what must be said Of the victory II
Jess willard at Havana? An aged
Johnson, smotheCed with fast living,
lasted until the twenty-sixth round
against the biggest man ever seen
battling for the title.
Dempsey's Ring Tactics.
Jack Dempsey's ring tactics, of fol-
lowed in his clash for the worlds
title. offer much food for reflection onI
the part of those fayOring the cham
pion There is nothing defensive
about him. He believes in a vigorous
attack as the best defense, and uil
his victories during the past year
have been short and shary. The quick
er the better seems to be his ring
me ethOd.
On the other hand. Wizards ring
record shows him n sluggish. plod-
ding defensive boxer. Towering
above Johnson at Havana. he steadily
to take the lead, preferring
Ia use his long left, ClinCh and take
OF his weight until finally
the hot sun got to the champion and
he collapsed.
A year before the Havana bout Dan
Daily, a dub. lasted nine rounds with
willard at Buffalo. while a month or
so earlier another hamfatter. Tom Nc
MahOn. defeated him in twelve rounds
at Youngstown.
In all Willard's ring career he has
but n single One-rOund victory, that
over Sailor White. December >. 1912,
at Buffalo He has two two-rOund
victories. both over unknOwns, and
three three-round wins, also over
never-wases. Even against poor Op-
IOnents, Willard has generally play

Middlehury may unquestionably
boast this summer of having more bach
elors than any other place OF equa
size in Vermont if not in the country
but the sad circumstance is that a good
number OF them are ladies. From sta
tistics gathered by Director E. d Col
Inns of this years record-breaking
Summer Session at the College, the fact
is distilled that Middlebury has an
unusually high proportion Of college
and university graduates, and in thi:
respect could probably challenge any
similar school OF its size.
There are in the various schools here
a total of 112 Bachelors of Art, six
teen Bachelors Of Science, two Bachel-
ors of Law, twenty-five Masters Of
Art, nine Bachelors OF Philosophy, two
Doctors of Philosophy, and several
other degrees OF scattered classification
The list Of schools represented by
these graduates is a long one but in
teresting as evidence of how widely dis
trbuted is Middlebury's Summer Glen

DR.. Scott in SEPARATION Suit

DR. George Dow Scott, a New York
physician who was a graduate of Mid
dlebury College in the Class of 1895
and who was formerly president Of the
New York Physicians Association, fig
ures in a separation suit which is now
being heard in a New York court at
the instigation of his wife, Jessie Platts
Scott, an English woman, whom he
married two years ago.
One of the interesting allegations
brought by the wife was that DR.. Scott
was pro-German in his attitude during
the war and showed this in talks with
her. On the contrary DR.. Scott de-
clared in an affidavit that he was
strongly pro-ally. He submitted let
ter he wrote to his brother in which he
said:
my feelings are bitterly anti-Ger-
nan. l feel that the Emperor is the
most miserable scoundrel on earth"
The principal allegations brought
against him, however, by his wife are
those of Cruelty. against which he
offered a number of affectionate let
tiers in demonstration Of the fact that
his love was genuine. The court, how
ever, granted Mrs. Scott $500 week
aimony pending the trial Of the case.
