DELTA COUNTY STUDENTS AT
GuNNIsoN PUT ON A "sTUNT"

Following the regular chapel exer-
cises last Thursday morning, the
Delta county students in attendance
at the Colorado State Normal school
put on lively and interesting pro-
gram for the purpose of advertising
Delta county and her teachers, and
demonstrating to the other Normal
students that Delta county is up-to-the-
minute in every respect.
advertise the unparallel advantages
and resources of the county, and were
carried by members of the class. One
poster, designed by Carrie Scott, dealt
with the business possibilities of Del
ia, telling of all the new buildings un-
der construction; another, designed
by Alice Burnett. dealt with the agri-
cultural wealth of the county in gen.
eral. Cedaredge was represented in
a clever poster, prepared by Maebelle
Harrington and Nellie Haynes. The
activities and merits of the Delta
High school were represented in pos
ter form by Dorothy Nelson and Ma
rian Gobble. Josephine Chalfonte Of
Cedaredge wrote Boost Delta" song
which was sung to the tune of Tip
perary." and Rita Hand composed and
led Delta yell.
The stunt was planned and carried
out by Mrs. Cummings and Miss Won
ders. Mrs. Cummings made poster
showing that Delta teachers are pro-
gressive and keep in line profession
-, Nd n. la1s add nm
the shortage of teachers. in which she
said that there are 10000 vacancies
in teaching positions in elementary
schools in the United States for the
coming year. and only 10000 gradu-
ates OF teacher training schools to
fill them. leaving a net loss of 10000
trained teachers. One third of the
81, 900 teachers now in High schools
are reported as intending to leave
their positions to enter some other
profession next year. and the greatest
possible number of new eligibles for
High school teachers is 5000: SO that
$4,000 of the $4,000 positions cannot
be filled by adequately prepared
teachers. She also produced statis-
tics to show that between 300. 900 and
400, 900 children were deprived of
schooling the past year because OF
schools closed on account of the
shortage OF teachers.
Following this addrsss. there were
two frnny ''tako-nffs.- uEr On y,soFsi
sor Foster and one on Mrs. Cummings
Miss Wonders presented Mr.. Foster
with an enormous paper hat with the
letters M. A" displayed on the front
of It, explaining that since he had re
ceived his NJ. A. degree at Greeley
his own hat had become full OF ugly
rents" and the teachers. realizing
their responsibility and the high cost
OF living were presenting him with a
new one.
The climax of the program came
when Mrs. McCarrier introduced Miss
Margaret Mathews as Mrs. Cummings
whereupon Miss Mathews rushed fran
tically up to the rostra attired in Q
hat and suit belonging to Mrs. Cum
mings. and delivered an address on

stood on its feet, loudly cheering for Collins. Mccarthy came up to his feet at the eighth count and clinched for a moment. He was bleeding from a cut near his left eye. Mccarthy swung his left and landed on Collins face. staggering him. Collins landed a ter rife punch above McCarthy's heart. Mccarthy covered up, the round end ing in a clinch. Collins round.
 Mccarthy again opened the hostiIi- ties with a left to LoIllns' shoulder. They clinched, Collins breaking the clinch with right to the face. Me Carthy landed good left to the face and immediately covered up. They were separated by the referee, and Mccarthy put a light left jab to Col lins' face and immediately covered up. Mccarthy was evidently hurt, as he kept himself constantly covered Mccarthy sent a strong right to jaw, and again covered. Collins came back with a terrific right to the jaw that put Mccarthy away for the count
 The semi-final, between DICK Cody of Los Angeles and Young Sharkey of Douglas, both 120 pounds, went the full six rounds and was a good fight. but the decision was given to Cody largely on account of his aggressive ness. Roth men were rather wild in their swings and neither one landed hard enough to hurt the other, al though both fought hard. The deci- sion was popular with the audience. ! In the second preliminary, Willie Luke of Douglas won the decision over Battling Herrera of Bisbee. This fight also was whirlwind from start to finish, both boys giving and taking a great deal of punishment. Though Luke had the advantage of reach, the local boy landed some good stiff punches to the soldiers face and body

Bisbee daily review., 1920-01-24

Bob Collins, "the pride of Bisbee," won the right to be placed in the main event class of the heavyweight divi- sion by knocking out Tex Mccarthy of Kansas City, in the second round of a scheduled ten-round bout, at the Grand theater last night. The decisive conclusion to which Collins brought the fight came as something of sur prise to most of the fans, as it was the first time he had been matched with boxer of known ability and wide reputation.
 Collins ability to hit a terrific blow, however, had never been ques- tioned, and he proved this to the full est extent last night. After Mccarthy had been revived and taken from the ring it was found that one of Collins tremendous uppercuts, near the end of the first round, had broken one of his opponents ribs just below the heart.
 About the middle of the first round Collins floored his man with a terrific right to the jaw. The audience stood on it's feet, loudly cheering for Collins, but it was evident that Mccarthy was only resting and he came to his feet at the end of the eighth count That he was not seriously hurt at this time is seen in the fact that he nearly floored Collins by landing hard on the left side of his face before the round was over.
 When the gong sounded for the sec ond round Collins lead out strong, while Mccarthy, although he kept GOV cred and made little effort to take the aggressive, fought back hard. It was in the mitigating that Collins landed a powerful right jab to the jaw that Knocked Mccarthy cold. It was evi- dent when he hit the floor that Mo Carthy was out and out for good. The crowd rose enmasse and cheered wildly for the local heavyweight.
 When the men were introduced by George Henshaw, the announcer for the evening, the weights were an- nounced as: Collins, 1S5; Mccarthy, 190.
 Mccarthy opened hostilities with a left swing to Collins head. Collins returned with a heavy swing to Me Carthy's jaw. Mccarthy swung wild and Collins followed him with light clip to the chin, closely followed by a hard right to McCarthy's midsection. Collins floored his opponent with a terrific right to the jaw.
