Larry Williams Quits Sam Driver
Bridgeport Boxer Signs Up With Willie Lewis of
 New York

Larry Williams, the Bridgeport battler, has pulled away from Sam Driver and had cast his lot with Will lie Lewis of New York, who handles Abe Attel1 Goldstein and a raft of other ringsters. Williams. while un
 der the management of Driver, had a match in Boston and lost it rather easily, when his prospects of making some coin appeared bright and rosy.
 He was wanted to box in London, providing he won his Boston battle, but when he lost that he was erased from the London card and Battling I4evinsky was substituted. Williams has found it hard to obtain matches and for that reason got out from un- der the wing of Sam Driver. Will Hams expects to, be able to obtain a large number of profitable battles.

University Of Michigan
 Stadium To Be Completed
 For 1921 Football Season

Ann Arbor, Mich., Jan. 11-Plans for the erection of a new concrete north stand and a new west stand to com plete the "U'' stadium on Ferry Field have been approved by the board in control of athletics at the University of Michigan and work on this project will begin in the Spring if the bids are inside the s400,0OO mark.
 The old wooden north stand will be torn down and part of it moved over to the baseball diamond, where it will serve a much-needed purpose in taking care of the baseball fans in the Spring. A modern concrete structure similar to the present south stand will take it's place, while an other one on the west side will con meet the two, thus forming the giant horseshoe.
 Will Go Over Bids.
 Plans soon will be given to the en- gineerS for the finishing touches and bids will be called for. The board in control will meet the middle of this month to accept or reject the bids. It is hoped that, barring unforeseen ob- stacleS, the new stadium will be com pleted in time for the 1921 football season.
 It is estimated by the board that between s350,0OO and s400,00O will be needed to do the work. If the bids prove to be arounI these amounts no doubt contracts will be let. The es- innate is considered reasonably safe by members of the board.

The visitors have been going smoothly to date with a large percentage of victories and a very close and exciting game is ex- pected. The local five had their last
 workout in the gym last night and Judging from practice should make things hot for the New Haven quin- tet. Al Judge, the star guard, dis
 located his right forefinger in the last game with Lake Torpedoes, so he will be out of the lineup for a month. His loss will be offset as Bill Miller. who
 left the team at beginning of the sea- ] son. will be in trim again for We'd nesday nights contest.

Johnny Wilson Now Ready To
 Defend Title

New York. Pan 11.-Johnny Will sor. riiddleweight champion, has come up for air

 What's more. Wilson will meet Mike O'Dowd, Harry Greb or any of the boxers who have been yowping on his trail-but-there are conditions

 But listen to Manager Marty:

 "I could name a host of cham pions who never gave the man from

 The statement that Wilson has been 1 under the care of a physician came as l a surprise More surprising still is
 the fact that Manager Killilea did not put Johnny right before the public long ago. He may have had reasons. | Perhaps he figured that adverse pub-

Hanover, N.

 Either or both would be acceptable 20 the great body of Dartmouth men, graduate as well as student, but no member of the Dartmouth Athletic Council was willing to make any statement about who would be chosen to direct the 1921 football team. A meeting of the powers that be, how ever, will be held soon and it is like ly that Spears successor will be named then.

The new 'U'' stadium will seat about 44,000 persons, thus equaling the capacity of the Harvard stadium and falling short of the Yale bowl by about 1S,000. The plans were drawn up by Professor Lewis M- Gram, of the engineering department.
 Can Make Additions.
 Professor Grum says that if a greater seating capacity is needed in future years additions can be built above the present heights, thus form ting the so-called double deckers."
 Michigan has long needed a larger stadium. Last year in particular in adequate seating facilities were badly felt It is said that many more people would have witnessed the Michigan-Chicago game if they could have been accommodated.

We realize that, during his last two fights. 1t has been announced to the paIpitaiing ringsiders that the Italian seeker was away over the certified weIterweight limit but from all that we can gather Louis wasn't so far away from the dead-line of tonnage as most people believe.
 When Bogash fought his last bout in Jersey, it was stated that he knocked out the scales at 152 pounds "a matter of seven pounds over the and inside source we now learn that Louis did not weigh 152 at all. He topped the beam at AT that evening.
 And then, in his bout with Good at- New Haven, Louis was said to have weighed. 149. As a matter of fact, afternoon tells us that he displaced the scales at 146.
 Some of the sporting editors were taken right in on this 152-pound propaganda, and one of them told the world all about it Then came a great outburst of indignation from the Bogashian camp. All of which not to mention camouflage, of course.
 You know, this Joe Smith who is ] handling the spaghetti destroyer, has a nimble thinkery on top of his neck. Joe is not losing a trick. You can easily see what advantage it would be to have some boXers-such as Britton, for instance-think that Louis is a middleweight.
 If they thought that Bogash would have to sweat off seven or eight pounds, where, as a matter of fact he only has to lose two or three, they would figure him a whole lot weaker
