Gibbons Wasn't GiUen Chance m
 English Arenas
By EDDIE KANE Manager of Tommy Gibbons

St. Paul, Minn., December 4.-(Spe- cial.-Every time I read an article boosting foreign boxer of untried cal ibre who has arrived in the United States to scoop up fortune, I get red behind the ears. So does Tommy. And. believe me, there is a req son.
 Both of us wish these foreign boxers all the success in the world. although we realize that their campaigns of suc- cesses probably will be short lived With few exceptions, they fall before second raters, but not until they have made enough money to buy considera- ble real estate in their foreign home land.
 The American public is the fairest in the world; American sport writers are the finest fellows on the universe This is an expression which I have heard made, in substance, by a dozen or more foreign boxers. But now and then, one spoils the compliment by add ing:
 WHAT ABOUT IT?
 "A foreign fighter can get away with almost anything in tne Y. s. A."
 There is one sharp difference between dn American boxer Of recognized abil- Iity invading Europe and European fighter invading America. But that uiLlSicHSO 10 licHicuQOuS oHC. HE American invader has to beg for bouts -the foreigner in the United States never is denied ar opportunity.
 On the nineteenth day of May, last, Tommy and I sailed for England. Tom wanted to meet Beckett and any other good heavyweight or light heavy weight who mikht be available. At the time we thought Beckett was a real fighter. We'll, he was flivver. In subsequent articles, Tom or I intend to tell few interesting facts regarding boxing promoters.
 DIDN'T MEET BECKETT
 Well, we never met Beckett. We of fered to box for ridiculcusly small amount We offered to split the re- ceipts any old way. We offered to make a substantial side bet. We agreed to any weight inducement. But nix.
 The interesting fact of the matter was that British sport editors-who, in cidentally. are as fair as American writers-could not induce Beckett to sign articles. I asked 8 Beckett boos- ter why:
 "oh, Beckett knows what 'e's doing, guess" he replied. coolly. He and other boxing fans took the attitude that it is very foolish for boxer with a home reputation to meet a foreign i'm vader who had a good chance of vic- tory. But they consistently refused to develop their argument. What a time we had--on the other side. And we didn't get single bout

Georgia FiUe
 Out for The
 Dixie Title
By CAREY J. WILLIAMS

Athens, December 4.-(Spe- cial.) - Basketball has re- placed the pigskin at the Uni versity of Georgia, and. the candidates for the Red and Black quintet will hold the first practice Monday afternoon in the Georgia gymnasium.
 It is the intention of Coach Stegeman to have one of the greatest machines that ever represented this institution wearing the Red and Black on the floor this year.
 The Athenians will meet the best lives in the south. Games will be arranged with practically all of the recognized quintets in Dixie. The Atlanta Athletic club will again be on the schedule, and two games with this dandy five will be played. The red-shirted warriors will also play Mercer in Macon on January 15 and in Athens on January 9.
 Two games will be arranged with Au- burn. The Plainsnen won the champion ship in 1919 and the Georgians were the only collegiate five that defeated the Tigers last year. The Stegeman lads will also grapple with the leading quln- tets in the Palmetto state.
 NEW STYLE OF PLAY
 Coach Stegeman is intending to in- augurate a new style of play at the uni yersity. He introduced the five-man de- fense last year that dumfounded several crack lives.
 
 On account of the great showing the Stegeman. lads made in the National A. A. U. tournament last March in At lanta, the Athens five was ranked among the leading quintets in the United States.
 Dr. Sanford, athletic director at Geor- gia, is intending to enter the Red and Black team again this year in the tour nament.
 It is true that the Georgians have lost "Red" Pound, Kennon Mott and Claude Satterfield from last years team, but there is wealth of new material to fill these mems shoes.
 REGULARS BACK
 Capt. Buck Cheeves, Eddie Rawson Billy Anderson, Paul Anderson, George Clarke, Red Owens and Foxey Campbell of last years squad will be out to try to win regular berths.
 Eddie Rawson played his first year on the Red and Black five last season and proved to be real sensation at forward. Eddie has deadly eye when it comes tc tossing the ball through the basket and he will be one of the main cogs in the Stegeman machine this season.
 "Bill' Anderson will also be jazzins around on the floor. and the Macon boy, like all L4aner High school boys, is a first-class basleteer.
 Buck Cheeves, who is combination of nitroglycerin and TINT, will lead the Georgians this year, and there are very few guards on the floor who are in his class.
 There will be a galaxy of prep and high school stars out for regular berths. At center there will be Billy Anderson, Paige Bennett, formerly of G. M. C., and Ed Gurr, old Lanier High star. grappling for berth.
 AT THE FORWARDS
 At forward. Eddie Rawson, Dick Hart ley, Foxy Campbell and George Clarke will have battle royal for honors.
 At the two guard positions there will be Capt. Buck Cheeves, Mercer Mur- ray, formerly of G. M. A; Red Owens, Jack Frost, Paul Anderson, Sheldon F'itts, Mark Anthony and Arty Pew. Pew was a member of the famous 1918 quin- tet that won the southern championship when Alfred Scott was captain, man.

 Plans NeuU Field

Nashville, Tenn, December 4.-(Spe- club in initiating the movements for completion of the new Dudley field at Vanderbilt, the Vanderbilt athletic as- sociation will take up plans at it's De- cenbea meeting looking to the immediate erection of q concrete stadium on the
 The V. U. A. A. has owned the loca- ton of the new field for several years and plans have been discussed hereto fore for the completion of the big ath- letic project, but no definite steps were taken until the Varsity club recommend ed immediate action at its meeting here on Thanksgiving Day.
 The new field will contain a turf covered football field for use during games only during the football season. a quarter-mile cinder path, baseball diamond and practice football field. While plans have not been completed for the stadium, it is thought that the new structure will be built on the unit plan so as to provide for necessary additions from time to time. It is also thought that club rooms locker rooms and show CT baths will be placed in the stadium itself, following somewhat the general plan of Stagg field at the University of Chicago. Every modern facility for sports will be embraced in the new field. The field will be dedicated during the season of 1921. The project will cost approximately s100,00o
 The present Dudley field will likely be used as the scene for mass athietics ae the university and also as a practice diamond and gridiron.
 The new, field will bear the same name as the present one honoring the memory of the late pr. William l.. Dudley, dean of southern athletic officials and father of the Southern Intercollegiate Athleuc A Acec-cia tinn

SCHEDULES OF 21 SEA ON MADE BY ". C..

Chicago, December 4. -f Western Conference football coaches today arranged their 1921 schedules at a meeting which brought forth two breaks between traditional rivals for "big ten" gridiron supremacy.
 Ohio State, Conference champions. will not meet Wisconsin, 1920 runner up. next year, the two schools severing football relations at an argument over which place the game should be played. Chicago failed to succeed in game with Michigan, although It was said here had been no i'll feeling over the inabil- ity of the representatives of these two schools to arrange contest.
 While it was announced at first ny the coaches that all athletic relations between Ohio State and Wisconsin lad been severed, it developed later that the two schools would carry out contracts already made for athletic contests. eliminating any chance for cancellation |of basketball or baseball games.
 wisconsin played Ohio State at Co., lumbus this year. losing. I3 to [. and Coach John Richards today insisted that If contest was played in 1921, it should be at Madison. Coach Wilce of Ohio State, however. had been able to arrange only three Western Conference games at Columbus. and maintained Wisconsin should meet the Buckeyes on their home grounds two years in suc- cession. He pointed to the fact that several other schools followed this plan to give each team a fair number of championship games at home
 The coaches. however. were unable to agree. and football relations were |severed. AA
 The faculty athletic committee of the Western Conference notified the coaches that it had voted against |lengthenfng the schedule to nine games, so each coach arranged for four or five games with other "big ssn- schools.

team cmpetition with 75 points scored against the local runners.
 In the S. I. A. A. trophy race, Missis- sippi A. and M. hnd the phenomenal score of only q points, and, of course, won the Birmingham News trophy easily. Georgia Tech was runner-up, with Al points scored against the Jacket runners.
 Richter's performance Is made
 more wonderful by the fact thnt the
 race was run over course made
 slippery by heavy rains. The
 streets through which the athletes
 ran were heavy with mud, hut this
 fact seemed to worry young Ells-
 worth Richter not at all. He jog
 glcd along lightly and covered the
 rnin-soaked course in record time.
 Spencer of A. and M. ran a splendid race himself. Hanging on the heels of Richter from the start, he pursued the local runner doggedly and fell behind only slightly as the two athletes neared the finish. Morrow and Cochran, also of A. and M, kept up with the tws leaders the majority of the time, and only slowed up when it became appar- ent that they could neither better nor harm their positions.
 LAUGHLINHOUSE SETS PACE
 Glenn Laughlinhouse, the war horse' of the B. A. C., set the pace the first half of the race, but dropped back when the pace began to tell on him. Glenn finished eleventh, third of the Athletic club runners to cross the tape. Bill Hoskins, one of Coach Hptsell's newer runners, finished eighth. He ran a splendid race and did his club credit by his gritty, stick-to the-end style of run- ming.
 One runner who deserves as much praise as the next fellow is Walter Lock of the Atlanta Athletic club. After giving up road racing for several years, Lock came back yesterday and finished sixth, which certainly seems to deserve credit. Locke ran a steady, consistent ece and won his place easily.
 SeveTrl Of the entrants failed to start, while others failed to finish the race. Auburn had but one man to finish Boyd, who finished in fifty first place

VANDERBILT RECEIVES SILVER FOOTBALL FOR
 BEATING TIGER ELEVEN

Nashville. December -(Special.)- Vanderbilt has another football trophy to be placed in the trophy room of the new Alumni Memorial hall. It is a small silver football, indicative of vic- tory in the last Thanksgiving Day game with Sewanee. The trophy has been presented to Capt. Red" Floyd. who received it on behalf of his .eam- mates. It was awarded by Joe Morse, one of Nashvi1les prominent citizens and sport enthusiasts. This trophy is indicative of possession of one-fifth interest in larger trophy of Morse to the team which wins three out of five vanderbilt-Sewanee contests.
 The smaller football will be present. ed to the victorious team each season and when the big trophy is awarded the smaller ones will become the prop erty of the team winning the main one.
 Vanderbilt hopes to add the whole outfit to the Commodore collection.
