DARTMOUTH OPENS
SWIMMING POOL
Gift Of r. II. Spaulding Said
to Be Most Perfect Of
It's Kind.

Special Despatch to THE NEW York HERALD.
HANOVER, N. H.. Dec. 1S.-Dart-
mouths new s130.00o swimming pool.
which was dedicated on Wednesday OF
this week. was formally opened for use
to-day. the slight delay being causetl
by a few necessary adjustments in the
plumbing system. The pool is a gift to
Dartmouth of ROLAND Harry Spaulding
Of Rochester. N. H.. former Governor
of the State. In connection with II there
was also opened the Stanley Hill Me-
mortal Shower Room, donated In
memory of Stanley Hill. rs. one Of the
ninety Dartmouth men killed in action
during the world war by the former
students parents.
According to architectural and engi-
neering experts who have viewed the
completed work. the Spaulding swim
ming pool is the most mod ern and most
nearly perfect of such achievements,
public or private. in existence. 1t Is
further classed as the most beautiful
work OF Its kind in the world.
The pool is housed in an entirely new
building of brick, steel and granite, de-
signed by Charles A. Rich of New York,
who has designed most OF the structures
erected at Dartmouth during the past
quarter OF century, and constitutes
an additional 100 feet by 20 feet south
from the east wing of Alumni Gym
nasium. The room In which the pool is

Corbett's Downfall.

Corbett succumbed 10 the heavy shots
OF Fltz and Jeff. and the Californian at
bis best would have been battered down
by the Dempsey of to-day.
Fitzsimmons was a most dangerous
man because OF his punching powers
and strategy. but he seldom entered the
ring that he was not hit hard Maher.
Choynski, Corbett jeff and others had
the Cornishman down for the count hut
all except Jeff failed TO keep him there
Dempsey, employing the same speed he
did AGAINST Willard and Fulton. would
certainly have hit Fitz and hit him hard
enough 70 keep him down for the full
count.
A significant statement by Fitz was
that he would fight any man In the
world barring Jackson.
Jack Johnson at his best would have
made II interesting for Dempsey. for
the negro was n wonderful boxer. john
son may have deteriorated at the time
Of his defeat by willard or he may not
have been boxing on his merits. John
son at his best would have given a hard
battle to Dempsey at his best.
There Is not n shadow OF doubt that
Jeffrles made the best showing against
his logical opponents OF any champion
IN the history Of boxing. The Boiler
maker not only defeated all the good
men Of his time. but n majority of them
he whipped twice for good measure.
Corbett. Fltz and Sharkey were de-
feated twice by Jeffries. Had the Boiler
maker. who formally retired in 1905,
remained out of the ring permanently
mis- record would have been n brilliant
one. But unwisely he consented to re-
turn 10 the roped square IN 1910 when
he, was so per cent less effective than
In 1906. and met a humlllating defeat at
the hands OF Johnson. then In his prime
Jen's vitality.
Jeffries's success was due to his won
derful vitality and steel chilled Jaw.
Jeffries was not good boxer ana he
was utterly lacking IN aggressivencss
but he won his battles as a result Of
permitting his opponents 20 wear them
selves out punching him. after which he
settled them.

MODERN SWIMMING
POOL FOR MIDDIES
Congress Appropriates Large
Sum for Erection of Spa
ciOus NatatOrium.

Special Despatch to THE New York HERALD.
ANNAPOLIS, Dec. Is. - The Naval
Academy shortly will have its lack of
facilities in one branch of aquatic sports
supplied through the erection of pool
for match swimming and other water
sports which will not be excelled In its
line by any pool in the country. The
necessary amount. $4,000 or 5000.
for the purpose has been appropriated
by Congress and the plans have been
prepared. Bids will be asked shortly
and the construction hurried as much as
possible.
II doubtless will be a surprise to those
not in touch with the situation to know
that the facilities for aquatic sports at
the Naval Academy are extremely poor.
All the regular instruction in swimming
for the midshipmen and all of the in
door aquatic sports, swimming. water
polo and tank work for the crew are
carried out in one small pool entirely
inadequate for the purposes while the
lighthouses used by the crew are small
and do not compare In size and equip
ment with the lighthouses of any OF the
large rowing colleges.
The pool was supposed to be forty by
| sixty feet, but careful measurements
showed that Il was four inches short of
this measurement In width, and records
made in the pool could not be allowed.
But for this the Naval Academy would
have held the intercollegiate records for
the 40 yard dash and the 100 yard relay
the team clipping two seconds from the
high figure for the latter last season.
In addition, the larger number of turns
necessary at each distance tends to de-
crease the speed.
Spacious In Every Way.
The new pool will be located between
the gymnasium and the northeast wing
! of Bancroft Hall. II will be sixty by
seventy-hve feet and ten feet In depth
| throughout Not only will II afford bet
| ter courses for the swimming races. but
greatly improved facilities for water polo
and water basketball. But one game OF
either of these can be played in the
present pool at a time. but the now pool.
by permitting the games TO be played
across It's width. will make possible three
at once. the Increased depth also facili-
tating IT,
The seating capacity of the new pool
| will also be great feature. Seats will
be placed for 1900 and will be so ar
ranged that all present can command n
view Of every portion of the pool Other
features viii be the specially arranged
showers, so that II will be impossible for
any one to enter the pool without having
had every portion OF the body exposed
to thorough bathing In the showers.
This pool will be reserved for athletic
purposes entirely. the present one being
used for the general instruction of che
midshipmen. as It is required that all
learn TO swim.
Now that the swimmers and followers
of other indoor aquatic sports are going
TO be well accommodated, II is hoped
that means will be provided TO obtain
the facilities for rowing to which the
Academy crews are entitled. both by the
place tho sport should hold in the ACTIVE
tiles Of the institution and the actual
crews

Dundee's Protest.

Johnny Dundee. who is In New Or
leans, writes as follows regarding pro-
posed match with Benny Leonard:
"A letter signed by Billy Gibson, dated
December Q, in which my name, among
others. was mentioned. said that was
afraid to box Benny Leonard and that
1 asked guarantee of 100000 never
asked for this amount. and, IL the propo-
sition Is put to me, will box ror a per-
centage OF the house.
when Leonard stepped into the ring
and challenged I got into the ring at
Madison Square Garden two minutes
after he left and accepted his challenge.
A little after that 7 was asked what
would take 10 box him and have never
been approached since. I have never
selected my opponents. having left that
to the matchmakers. and everyone
knows very well they have never been
soft ones, and In nearly all cases the
weights were uneven. and have given the
best that was In me.
II am willing TO meet Benny Leonard
at the recognized lightweight limit.
which Ia 1856 pounds al o'clock. will
demand no guarantee but work on a per-
centage Of the house. am willing 10
post a forfeit OF from $4,000 to $4,000
that am sincere in this matter"
A reader of THE HERALD asks fors a
decision on the following question:
"a bet that Brennan would stay
twelve rounds with Dempsey. Il bet
that he would not. Who wins?
AS Brennan was counted out when the
men had been boxing but minute and
81 seconds Of the twelfth round. Bren-
nan obviously did not stay twelve
ounds. A wins.

HEAVIES ELATED
BY BRENNAN'S FEAT
Former Victims of Dempsey in
Training for Matches With
the Champion.
BY CHARLES F. MATHIsON.

Since Bill Brennan remained in the
ring twelve rounds with Jack Dempsey
there has been noticeable activity among
the crop of American heavyweights who
have lain Quiescent since the Salt Lake
thumper flattened Willard. Brennan
has obtained a vaudeville engagement
on the strength of his performance. and
Fred Fulton. Billy Miske and Jim Flynn
are reported to be in flutter of excite
rlent over the prospect of a match with
the champion.
Meantime Jess Willard, greatly elated
over the details of the contest between
Dempsey and Brennan, is preparing to
go into strict training for an expected
battle with the champion in this city
March II, 1921.
According to Ray Archer. manager of
willard, the former champion already
has begun to train, although his work
is somewhat handicapped because his
home Is quars ntired on account of illness
in his family. Archer said Willard ex-
poets to have several sparring partners
and that he would make every effort
to obtain we'll known fighters. Discuss
ing the coming bout with Dempsey
Archer said Willard Is not thinking
about money. He wants to prove to the
public that he was not himself at To-
iado

permits diving with perfect safety.
In It's decorative features the Spauid-
ing Pool is unique. especial attention
having been paid to the thing. which was
designed by Homer Eaton Keyes, busi-
ness administrator of the college, and
which Is called the most beautiful and
most expensive ever installed in any SIM
liar building. The cost of the thing was
approximately 5000. The pool itself
Is lined with notified green ceramic tile
which gives the water n greenish tinge.

PREP ELEVENS
IN BIG BATTLE
Manual and ShOrtridge Get
Together in Seasons Choice
Rivalry Scrap.

Manual and Shortridge were to meet
on Irwin field. Irvington, this afternoon
in the first gridiron battle between these
schools since 1907.
1t has been a long time since the last
scrap, but never In the days of old when
every year the annual Misunderstanding
game was to decide the State title, Ola
the two teams go into battle with the
rivalry and enthusiasm more intense.
Fairly Indications pointed to the largest
crowd that has attended a high school
contest in Indiana this year and the
crowd was to contain alumni, former ath-
letes teachers, the entire student body OF
each institution, and numerous unat-
tached rooters
Although chances of q Manual victory
had been somewhat cut down by the an
nouncement that Dutch" WertZ, one OF
the best high school backs in Indiana,
probably would be unable TO participate
on account OF injuries. Manual spirit h q
undergone no change whatsoever.
Coach julius had drilled his men hard
for tOdays battle, realizing that vie
tory would enable his proteges TO meet
Tech. Nov. q, for the city championship.
The Shortridge athletes were in the best
condition they have been in this year,
and they had a great chance to grab on
the honors.
The contest was scheduled to get un-
der way about 2 80, after a number of
preliminary noise programs had been
rendered by the opposing roofing forces.
