championship wound up yesterday in tie
between the teams of the Yale Club and

these occasions the victor was either the
red or the blue. Neither the Princeton

could defeat them. Columbia finished
with clean score of no wins and six de-
feats and the two victories that the
Princeton squash team earned were won
at the expense of Columbia. There will
now have to be play-off between Har-
ward and Yale.

tie almost since the beginning of the
series had one side victories At the
Yale Club Columbia was defeated three
matches to one. There should have been
five contests staged but according TO
agreement Allan Corey of Yale. and
Frank Kidde, Of Columbia, were allotted
an extra day in case of a tie, because
they could not arrive on time TO play yes

Action Regarding Fighting of Heavy

TRENTON, N j., Tuesday.-"Jacs
Dempsey prize fighter, is not good enough
Tor the State of New Jersey" said John S
smith, president OF the New Jersey Ath-
ictic Commission, in a statement tonight
barring Dempsey and his manager. JACK

ocuts held IN New Jersey
commissioner Smith declared that the
American Legion in several States had
branded Dempsey as a Stacker" and ha6
passed resolutions to that effect and that
the New Jersey Athletic Commission sup
ported the legion in their action.
Commissioner Smith compared the 'wa1
record" OF Dempsey, referring to him as q
labor scout for a ship yard, with that OF
Georges Carpenter. who he said "risked
his life in performing hazardous tasks
during the war, and was awarded the
military medal, the highest honor which
can be conferred on a Frenchman. Car
pentier is a real patriot.
How does Dempsey's record compare
with Carpenters. All red blooded Ameri-
cans should blush with shame when Demp-
sey's war-record is mentioned" said Com
missioner Smith.
