WELLESLEY GIRLS TAKE
TO ATHLETICS EASILY

Simply because the male species is
mentioned most of the time in re-
lation to athletics, 1t doesn't mean
that just as much Is not being &C
complished among the fairer portion
OF our younger population. Athletic
activity is increasing among the girls
with surprising strides.
Take Wellesley College, for example.
Up there every freshman and sophie
more has to participate in some form
of indoor or outdoor exercise. The
result IL that swarms OF lassies are
out every day at hockey, skating. ski
ing, snowsh oeing, and tobogganing.
When the girls are required to in
dulge In athletics for their first two
years, It naturally follows that they
continue IL late ron.
There are eight-oared crews at
wellesley and the girls have taken up
almost every sport followed in mems
colleges, with the exception Of foot
ball
And. as college girl remarks.
when It comes to football the girls
are needed in the stands. Needed"
isn't quite strong enough. Girls at
football games are indispensable.
Every fall about a quarter OF the
male spectators go to watch the foot
ball game and the other three-quar-
tors to look at the girls.

LEWIS WILL DEFEND

GrappIes Caddock's Head-Scis-

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Ed Lewis

The champion will take on Earl
Caddock, of Iowa, in a finish match
at the Seventy-first regiment armory.
One fall will decide the contest.

wouldn't have to go away from our
home dinner to see real games and
real teams. However. even after
reading Mr.. Casey's brilliant dream in
The Hoya Of January 20. 1921. we are
not carried away with the idea that
big teams are going to come to Wash
ington to meet Georgetown next year,
or any other year. either.
The real reason for Georgetown's
peculiar position in regard to its
gridiron schedule is. to speak plainly
and bluntly. Washington's weakness
as financial support for football. 1t
Is not good business for any big team
to come here to play Georgetown.
That's the long and short of II.

iasm. o'erleaps 1921 with one grand

But there Is a fly in the ointment,

HARD BANDACES AN OLD
TRICK IN RING CIRCLES

Using plaster of Paris bandages
was a trick that was not uncommon
in ring circles in the old days, ac-
cording to the veteran, Tom O'Rourke,
who has seen them all come and go
since boxers first began to wear
gloves on their hands. ORourke
tells how Joe WalcoA once had a
narrow escape from being made
victim of the trick.
When the Barbados demon and
George Gardiner entered the ring for
their twenty-round battle in San
Francisco Gardiner appeared with
the gloves on his hands.
In feeling them over ORourke
noticed suspicious hardness and
was on at once. He held the light
up until Gardiner consented to re-
move the cement. 1t took GARDENERS
seconds nearly half an hour to chip
II away without injuring the lighters
knuckles.
When tho battle finally started tho
FIRST thing Gardiner did was t. cross
his right to the Jaw. and waicott
went down for the count OF nine. Ho
got up, and eventually won tho de-
cision, but IL tho cement had not been
removed he probably would have been
killed

Remsey has had but 1--WE ring bat
ties, but each one has been a knock
out victory. His sizzling smuggling
mill with Young Dempsey, Of George
town, kept Washington ring fans
talking for weeks. First one lad was
down and then the other. Finally
Remsey put over the crusher and
staggered into his corner a winner.
Dempsey fell before Remsey's sleep
punch in the fourth round. No other
opponent has endured it So long.
Remsey put Johnny Corbett, Of Pitts

TEAM PLAY SHOWS.
The games have been unusually

almost entirely eliminated.
The fact that the series Is close
and that free losses are likely to

For the past three years Central
