between ten and fifteen rounds for e record purse, and percentage of the motion picture receipts.
 The bout will be conducted by Tex Rickard. Charles Cochran of London, and William A. Brady, the last named representing Cochrans interests.
 While Tex Rickard and his fellow pro- moters refused to disclose the amount of the purse to be given the pugilists before the formal signing of the contract tomorrow, it is known that including certain percentages. it will approach s50O.OO0.
 This is far in excess of any previous contract with Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey, whereby Willard received slOO.- 900 and Dempsey s27.5o0 for their fight at Toledo on July 4, 1919.
 The signing of the agreement for the Dempsey Carpenter contest will side track temporarily at least plans for a return bout between Dempsey and Will lard. This bout was tentatively scheduled Tor about the middle of March and Will lard was preparing to begin training n the near future for chance to regain the title he lost to Dempsey more than a year ago
 At the offices of the New York State Boxing commission here today it was stated that no official notice of the ar engagements for a bout between Dempsey and Carpenter had been received there None of the commissioners was at the office and Secretary White was unable to say if any immediate action would be taken by the commissioners in regard to the match.

The varsity certainly had an awful time this afternoon. Not for many moons have the scrubs shown such good shape and so much spirit and they literally tore into the varsity like pack of wolves.
 Time and again the Scrubs threw the first string back behind the line and broke up forward passes without num- Der.
 So hard did the coach work the men that not even the continual rain stopped theT practice, and it was after dark when the signal was given to have a run in with the showers. No fiercer practice has been seen on Hardee field for many day, and if the men are not in shape for the game with Alabama Saturday, it will be because they are dead.
