RIGHT FEARFUL
Plan Annual Track Meet for Colleges
 All Over Country

CHICAGO. Dec. 29.-An annual track meet in which every college and uni versity in the National Intercollegiate Athletic association would have repre- sentatives and the formation or an Olympic association to take charge of and interest itself in the American Olympic committee were endorsed at the fifteenth annual meeting of the association today. Committee reports favoring legislation of interest to col legiate cercles as we'll as undergradu- ate bodies were made in addition to the transaction of routine business.
 The suggested track meet would bring together athletes from all over the country and would be in the na- ture of an annual American college Olympic.
 A national committee on arbitration of athletic disputes was authorized.
 Another committee was authorized to look into the expense of conducting a
 national track meet and in raising the

His development and progress was rapid He had reach on most of his opponents and used excellent judg- ment right from the start. He was a natural ring general. He had no trouble in out-guessing the other nov ices, and inside of six months he was recognized as one of the best amateur performers in New York. After serv- ing six months more he craved for a chance to try his skill against the professionals.
 Eddie Meade another west slider, was handling a few fighters in those days Joe was a friend of Eddie's and asked for a chance. Eddie was reluc- tant to send the frail boy against the rugged ring artists from pro circles

Eighteen trained athletes upheld the hcnor of the University of Arizona on the football field during the 1920 sea son, going through a heavy schedule with one defeat chalked against them. These boys laid the foundation for greater recognition for the school next season, adding two colleges, the Texas A. and M. and the Universit yof South ern California, to the university foot ball schedule.
 The University of Arizona is located at Tucson, but Phoenix takes pride in the state institution, and the student bocy has large number of Phoenix boys and girls enrolled each year. Dur ing the holiday vacation the students return to their Proenix homes, proud of their school and anxious to keep Phoenix prominent in every school en- deavor. This year the Phoenix stu dents want the Wildcats rewarded with sweaters donated by Phoenix mer- chants to prove this city is back oi the school just as strong, if not stronger, than the merchants of the Old Pueblo.
 Here's an excellent opportunity fol the business men of Phoenix to dc something big for the Wildcat foot ball squad, the pride of every student and every supporter of the University ' OI AIlZOua.
 The sweaters donated will be pre- sented to the players in the studen body assembly, with the names of tn, donors, as soon as they can be pur. chased
 The Arizona Republican will star the list, if IT other institutions il Phoenix will help, and the football squad will be rewarded for their ef forts during the past season and Phoe nix students can return to school afte their holiday vacation bringing tn glad news to the university.
 James Stone and Howard Barlkley members of the U. of A. committee fl Phoenix, will take the names of tn merchants desiring to donate sweat CTS and see that the sweaters are de livered to the university with du CT edit given the donors.

NEN YEARS A[[ STAR FIGHT CARD
 WILL BE FMS IN PHOENIX FOR THE NEXT THREE MONTHS. CITY ORDERS

Somebody's always taking the joy out of life"
 Before We recover from the shock Of Christmas bills, along comes the city "comish" and clamps the lid on boxing and wrestling. Looked like a pretty fair winter for the boxing game in Fenniks. but old man gloom is now firmly established at the fight arena and the fans must content themselves with long distance reports on box fights and mat artists.
 Just about the time Q fight promoter gets set to book some classy fighters who don't demand the payment of ex cess profit tax on their end of the purse, the balloon goes up and the fights go down. The silver lining" on the lowering clouds shows streahs of tarnish-it's a cruel world.
 There is one consolation, however; ; Saturdays fight card will go on as advertised. The New Year will get a good start-and then stop-for three long months. This will be the last chance for the fans and fanettes to watch the battlers exchange wallops before the lid goes down.
 Wild Bill Reed will get wilder. but it's hard to tell what will become of Phat Willie's smile when the gates are | the boys and girls in Fenniks during | the winter-or rather as long as he was winning. Reed wanted to put On a few fights at home before going east-but now he can get an early start. Bill says he's got to win Satur- day, it's his only hope to keep the home folks pulling for him, and Willie says he might just as well make il good while he's down here and tamC Wild Bill to make it easy for the boxers back east
 Bob Courts says it won't make mucf difference to Jack Lynch, as the Pres colt lad will be willing to quit fight. ing when he gets through with Satur- days fight. Bob's going out for biz game if he wins. Lynch hasn't arrived yet, which makes it hard to figure hi opinion of the closing.
 Mack Spaw had settled comfortabl. in the city with a six months leas' on a cute little apartment, where h. planned to make his home Now th' eventful date must be postponed. Ret lGardner's daily labor keeps him occu pied, but he likes the extra jack" hi fighting brings home.

It is an excellent thing for boxing that skinny Joe Lynch tipped the crown from Pete Herman's head. Her man was one of the poorest cham pions that ever acquired title, and did the boxing game much harm with his commercial and safety first methods.
 Joe Lynch is from the west side, New York, and the second boxer from that city to ever win a title. Benny Leonard is the only other. The new champion is a ring freak-standing 5 feet "A inches high. He is taller than Leonard Kilbane, Charley White, and most of the lightweights.
 He is the boxing type of ringmen, using his left and crossing with his right. He carries a good wallop in the right mitt and only recently knocked out tough little Jack Sharkey in Madison Square Garden, and two years ago put the kayo on Kid Will Hams, the former champion, who had lost his title on a questionable deci- sion to Pete Herman.
 He has gone to England. fought Jimmy White twice--losing the deci- sion both times. However, the Eng fish admit that the last fight was won by Lynch.
 Started in Amateur Circles While working as a property boy at the Hippodrome in New York Lynch heard of amateur bouts that were being held at one of the west side clubs. Joe was born and raised on the New York west side, and when l he learned that many of his friends were taking part in the amateurs he | decided to take off one night a week and compete

 the rest of the time. Perhaps he can
 get a milk route to keep him busy
 when he gets through with his regular
 days work.
 Billy AIger will hike back to the Gila valley and help the old folks get the ranch ready for a bumper crop next season. Billy thinks he is en- titled to a rest after a strenuous ring season. Alger has been working in ring battles regularly since he was dis charged from the service.
 Referee Gardner will benefit more than anyone else by the closing edict. Tip can retire to a quiet spot, far from the raZZ chorus and tickle crowd. There he will forget his troubles and banish all worry-follow the directions carefully and perhaps the bald spot will disappear entirely.

 series. Might get in touch with Eddie | Cicotte and find out why the White Sox lost the 1919 series.
 | There's some satisfaction in know
 ing that the last one will be a good one, with a choice assortment of fighters, all sizes and all ages. Every number on the card will bring to- gether two good boys. Starting with the curtain raiser on up to the main event, it will be all fight. The real fan cannot afford to miss Saturdays bout under any conditions. They may I overlook a New Year banquet, but
 there will be no absentees when the
 roll is called. Rain or shine the Amer
 jean legion arena will be packed to ca
 pacity.
 The fair fanettes will be in evidence , when the curtain goes up. The ladies have been following the boxing game 5 with watchful eyes to learn the inside
 of ring history. The ever increasing number of fair ones will be even larger Saturday when the big boys meet for } the first time in Arizona ring history. , Matchmaker McAhren stated last l night that he would have additional seats provided at the arena to accom- ; modate the crowd The reserved seat l section cannot be enlarged, but bleach CT seats will be erected near the fence The reserved seat sale has about
 reached the limit; 1t doesn't take very } long for Doyle to tell the prospective l customer what seats remain unsold. } Twill soon be vacation days in Phoe- } nix fight and wrestling circles.
