NAVY MAT MEN
TOO POWERFUL
intercollegiate Wrestling Asso.
citation Don't Want Them
In Tourney.
By H. r. RILEY.

ANNAPOLIS, April 6.-Efforts of
the Naval Academy to improve its
athletic reputation by engaging in
contests away from Annapolis are
meeting with unexpected opposition
along one line in the apparent re-
luctance Of the intercollegiate Wrest-
ling Association to accept the Mid
shipmen as members. The Acad-
emy wrestlers have reached a high
standard in this sport, and would
undoubtedly add interest to the an
nual competitions.
The application for admiseion was
filed some time ago. but the Naval
Academy was confronted with the
rule which required application
year in advance of the annual COM
petition. While this rule might
easily have been waived, there Is no
complaint here that the association
failed to take such action.
However, it has failed absolutely to
act on the application, acceptance OF
which would insure the navy's entry
next year. Adverse action has not
been taken, and it is hoped here that
the representatives, ol othci SoAiSo 90
will finally see their way clear to
approve the application.
They Don't Want Navy.
Naval people have found in infor-
NAL conversation with the other col
Iege men that there is quite a little
reluctance to permit the Naval Acad-
envy to become member. A number
of these pointed to the strong team
the Academy had produced in each
of many recent years, and the fact
that wrestling was a regular portion
Sf the Academy course. For these
and other reasons they were inclined
to think that the Naval Academy
would have an advantage. The
stringent application of this principle
would bar the Midshipmen from con-
testing in any branch, as every line
OF sport is a. part of the Academy
course.
The Naval Academy has right TO
claim premier honors in this sport this
year. Il defeated all Of the members
of the intercollegiate Wrestling As
sociation in matches at Annapolis,
and was perfectly willing to enter
the finals, but it's application was de-
MED. 1t is hard to see how its claims
can bo overruled-

Steadily, though slowly, Carpenter
was beginning to make big name
for himself, although English pro-
moters secuted the idea that he was
anything resembling a world-beater,
because they did not believe that any
Frenchman could box.
The British promoters had their
eyes opened a bit. however, when
Georges met and defeated George
Randall. This bout was held in Paris
and was stopped in the tenth round.
A little later Carpenter met Randall
second time and knocked him out
in Eve rounds.
Henri Piet q Winner.
Then came another reverse for the
intrepid boy from Lens. He took
on Henri Piet, another young French
man, and the later was given a de-
cision over him after ten swift
rounds, although the outcome did not
injure Georges reputation.
Jack Daniels, who invaded France
in 1910 to box Carpenter, lost to
him in ten rounds in Paris. The fol-
lowing year he came back again and
once more Carpenter gave Daniels
boxing lesson in ten fast rounds. After
this Young Nipper was sent across the
channel to take the starch out of the
fast-coming young Frenchman who
was beginning to take such audacious
liberties with English boxers.
Nipper had a reputation for eating
his opponents alive and Carpenters
friends began to tremble for their
young champion. When he got into
the ring with Nipper there was prob
ably no one in the house half as
composed as Georges Nipper taken
back by Georges's GOODNESS, but liv-
ing up to his reputation when the
gong sounded he started to swallow
Carpenter whole. Something went
wrong with his digestion about this
time, however, for the French youth
refused to be swallowed, and before
the first round was over Nipper found
himself stretched on the floor. Car
pentier was given a well-earned de-
cision over this terrible battler" in
eight rounds.
This victory over Nipper created
a real sensation in Paris, and even
in England the boxing fans began to
realize that Carpenter was no flash
in the pan. for Nipper was the tough
est lightweight in London at the
time.
He becomes a welterweight.
Always growing, and improving as
ringster with added growth, Car
pentier now became a welterweight.
Well on the road to championship
honors, he was filled with youthful
enthusiasm. and tho increasing size
OF the purses for which he fought was
a source of joy to him. He was now
earning $500 a season, which was no
small accomplishment for an ex-pit
boy.
About this time Jack MeelIins, a
sturdy welterweight. was king OF
everything he surveyed around Lon
don. To defeat this Meekins was to
earn a real reputation throughout
the boxing circles of Europe, and Car
pentier set out to do II. Marcel
Moreau, the French champion at that
time, had won a decision over Meekins
and was enjoying great popularity
because of IL. Eventually Meekins
crossed the turbulent Channel for a
bout with Carpenter and ran into
the surprise of his life. He had eN-
pected to use Carpenter as a stepping
stone for another bout with Moreau,
but he was badly beaten in ten rounds
and was so dazed that he went to the
wrong corner on two occasions, while
early in the contest he had paid q

AGREESBUT
INSISTS ON
HAVING AID
Berlin Promises 1000, 900
Ton Delivery Under
Certain Conditions.

Spa, Belgium, July 15.-Germany
today notified the allies that her
cabinet had agreed to the allied de-
mand for the delivery of 10000
tons of coal monthly under three
essential conditions and other
minor conditions. She also stipu-
lated that she must receive raw
materials.
The German acceptance was en-
bodied in a note which was laid be-
fore the allied premiers this noon
by Premier Lloyd George.
Three Conditions.
The conditions were these:
Ffrst-The German government
to have the distribution of the
Silesian coal, or be allotted 1,500,-
900 tons monthly for northern Ger
many instead of the present allot-
ment of 1000, 900 tons.
Second-A mixed commission to
be sent to Essen to examine food
and housing conditions.
Third-The allies are asked to
advance money or provide credit
for importing additional food for
the entire German population.
Acceptable to Alliesi
The allied ministers, up to short
ly after noon, had not yet an
nounced whether the conditions
Were acceptable.
HUff StUunt said this morning
that Germany. In its decision to the
coal question, had gone to the ut
most limit and could do nothing
more, so that il the allied military
leaders, Marshal Foch and Field
Marshal Wilson, still wanted an in
vasion Of Germany, they must have
it.
Insist on Help.
In q personal letter to Premier
Lloyd George, the foreign minister,
1t is understood, asked Premiers
Lloyd George and Millerand, to
help Germany to fulfill her obliga-
tions by doing three things:
Nrst-By allowing Germany to
cash difference between the price
Of coal at the pit mouth in Germany
and the price OF coal on the worlds
market.
Secondly making a generous
arrangement with regard to ship
ping.
Thirdly giving Germany some
security or assurance against the
menace Of invasion II she should al
any time be a little behind in hel
deliveries.
Herr Simons added in his letter
These are not conditions. but
simply an expression of our hope.
