National a. &. opens its doors for the
first time, offering as the principal
fcaturc a twelvo-round bout to de-
cision between Capt. Bob Roper, con-
queror OF Bob Martin. and kayo
Sampson. OF Philadelphia, a rugged
tough slugger. In every other bout
one Washington boxer will be op-
posed To a Baltimorean.
Young Bowen. who has yet to be

appears in a special eiGht-round affair
with Eddie Barr. a classy lightweight
Bowens many friends here are back

There will be three preliminaries

Washington's ring followers are 60
ing over to Baltimore in body to
see this show, which promises to be
better than anything staged in the
Monumental City in some time. Cap
tain Roper, who made his reputation
in the army. is steadily progressing
to the top of the heavyweight heap,
and his manager is grooming him for
championship challenges.
Roper's victory over Bob Martin, the
a. Il. f. champion, in Boston on
Thanksgiving Eve proved beyond
argument his calibcr. Twice before
he had been given newspaper de-
cisions over Martin, butt Boston the
referee awarded him the victory.
kayo Sampson is a trial horse for
most championship aspirants. He is
strong and can take a punch. His
nickname comes from his habit OF
winning with a sleep punch. He will
endeavor to hang the sleeper on Roper
tomorrow night.

why did we take the sarge out
% those games? Well, for two rea-
hons, both of which he will learn for
the first time when he reads this
junk. First, we had an idea that he
would make lot of odd cracks that
would make good reading. You've al
ready read all he made. The sarge"
proved to be rotten copy, TO tell the
truth.
Second, VIC thought we'd have a
chance to show our deep knowledge
of the game by explaining its fine
points to tho Sarge" If we recall IT
Iall, we told him what touchdown
counted and what a touchdown goal
lcounted and that was all. Yes. we
also had TO explain what men were
leligiblc to take forward passes.
All these explanations were GIVEN
JUST ONCE. The Sarge" dear
lreaders, is an old professional soccer
lplayer from England, which gets us
down to this soccer thing. He grab,
bed the idea behind our game in a
ljiffy and enjoyed what he saw with
out continually asking n lot OF fool
questions AS a matter OF fact, had
lhe bothered us at the Wesleyan game,
lived never have taken him to the
Washington and Lee scrap, which is
lsomethihG he's now learning for the
first time here.
CAME DURING THE WAR.
; The Sarge" came to Washington
during the war. He was n familiar
figure for many months around the
iMunsey building. where he was on
lduty at the headquarters of the Cana
dian War Mission. He used to wear
his uniform, the Canada" bar on the
shoulder, giving him a right nifty
appearance. but he's long ago dis
.cardcd that.
He used to regale us with dreadful
tales of soldier experiences with the
British army in Flanders, how yellow
lads suddenly died, that's all: how
certain disliked officers got theirs"
how tho Heinies attacked and how he
"got his" in the knee that came close
ITO losing him the use of his leg, even
if the surgeons did not take off tho
darn thing.
Then, when we'd get all through
fghtinG the Germans and before the
last drop was gone. he'd tell us some
thing about his soccer days over the
pond. lie had been a professional
player there and knew something
about game which ranks closely
with our baseball for popularity
among the masses. Oh, them was
tn happy days!
ISSUES A CHALLENGE.
The other day the Sarge" entered
Iour silk-pancled office, ushered in by
our grinning Ethiopian slaves, each
waving his long peacock -feathered
ibroomhandle, and wanted to issue
challenge for the Washington Rovers.
"We'vc got a soccer team said
the Sarge" "We'rc going to play
some team from Georgetown Sunday
afternoon, kickoff at 2:3O o'clock.
We want to challenge any and all
teams around here"
GLOW are you going to play with
'Gtst bum knee?" we asked.
"Come down and see me. ! can still
kick the ball." was his reply.
And so we talked about soccer
Iagain, not that VIC were especially in
lterested in il, but because the Sarge"
was all hoped up with it. Once
