Now comes the archaic Moran
and deposits Beckett on the can
vas almost as quickly and fully as
decisively as did Carpenter!
Where does Carpenter stand?
Class Undetermined.
This is not to imply that Car
pentier is not a great fighter. He
! appears to have every 'earmark"
of champion ring gladiator. But
the fact remains he has yet to
prove it by whipping really for
midable boxer. His colOrful per-
sonality and a we'll regulated pub
licity bureau alone have captured

There is no glory in whipping
battered Bat sLevinsky. In fact,
even his showing against helpless
Bat was disappointing. But some
how or another people have forgot
ten it, or have forgiven him. Car
pentier explained by saying that he
whipped the man the American
people chose to test his prowess
What more should they ask? Just
this: Who, besides those directly
concerned in a Carpenter victory
ever asked him to meet Bat Levin

lard, Bill Brennan, or even Frank
Moran?
1t has been said that Carpenter
turned down a Fulton match while
the latter was abroad on the
grounds that Fulton was too big
How then must he consider the
giant Jess Willard?
Can one SO readily forget the
fact that Dempsey whipped Fulton
in Is seconds and bowled over the
lowering Willard in three rounds
Has Carpenter ever done anything
approaching the merit Of these ex-
ploits?
Brennan has been called third
rater." a "pork-and-beaner," and a
few other things by the critics. But
anyone who witnessed the patience
with which he absorbed Dempsey's
vicious punches and struck out
courageously in his own behalf
knows these epithets are undeserv-
ed. Brennan is q tough fighter.
We. for one, fail to detect where
Dempsey lost caste by wearing him
down in a carefully planned, sys-
tematic manner, and then finishing
him with we'll directed knockout
punches.
Could Carpenter have improved
ON the Dempsey performance?
Could he have equa1ed It?
Or, more to the point, could h
have beaten Brennan?

President Ryan who makes the

have been mighty popular in Pc

The Peoria association lost out
to Kansas City in a lively bidding
contest for the Bob Roper-Bill

motors offered so much money il

HIGHS BASKET
QUI||NT on EDGE

RI sALBI AL

After two long workouts. last
night and this evening, the Island
ers are ready to enter the basketball
game with Cambridge tomorrow
evening at the local Y. M. G. A. Due
to a mixup in the schedule, It was
stated that the locals would meet
Cambridge tonight, but the game
will be played tomorrow at the
local 7.
It is doubtful whether Hall. back
guard. will be able to play against
Cambridge on account Of Ineligible
ity. As there is already lack OF
guards on the high school squad
his loss will be felt. Just who will
start at back guard has not been de-
termined.
Rivals Seasoned.
Although the dope is in favor Of
Rock Island, the locals are taking
no chances and are preparing for a
battle royal. The Cambridge squad
has been playing basketball ever
since October, while the islanders
have only played three scheduled
games.
Davenport and East Moline meet
tonight in the ]. B. Young gymnas-
ium, Davenport. Davenport is ex-
pected to be an easy winner al
though the score will be interest
| ing for the dope on the quad-city
race it will give. St Ambrose de-
feated East Moline, 31-6; the Is
landers did the work to the tune OF
52-e. The Iowans will have to work
hard to beat these scores.
First for Davenport
This is the first game that the
Red and Blue squad has played and
not much is known Of their team
Although there are four letter men
from last years five, the prospects
have not been SO bright so far this
year. The Davenport fve although
made up OF individual stars has moi
been able to play together as il
should.
Moline'- basket five meets Gales
burg tonigh. at Galesburg. Neither
CT these two schools has a strong
team and the game should be fairly
close, with Galesburg having
Islight edge. Both Moline and Gales
burg were defeated in the frs
games, Moline falling to the Ii
Salle-Peru squad and Galesburg t.
Abingdon.
The same difficulty exists in Mo
line as does in Rock Island. Onl.
two Of the Maroon and White sQua,
have had experience.

NEWARK TO HAVE TEA
ROOM AND GIFT SHOP
To Open November 5 on Site
of Hofman's Shop

Under the management of
Miss Jones, sister of Reverend
Edgar Jones, Rector of the
Episcopal Church, a tea room
will be opened in the building
now occupied by Louis Hoffman.
Work will begin on the place
next Tuesday. It is not known
at the present time just what
changes will be made on the in
terror, but the present interior
will be razed and a new one con-
structed. Miss Jones believes the
site to be an excellent one for
such business and she is very
optimistic over the probability
of its. success. It will be open
for business on or about Novem-
ber Is, unless material ordered
for construction is delayed.
Of special interest to students
and residents of Newark is the
proposed name of the establish
ment, "The Blue Hen" Miss
Jones thinks it a novel idea for
the Blue Hens Chicks to quench
their thirst in the Blue Hens
Tea Room.
In conjunction with the tea
room, Miss Jones is opening a
Gift Shop" in which those ar
ticles, better known to women
than to men, will be available
for purchase.
Miss Jones is experienced in
the management of tea shops,
having recently operated with
success The Green Babies Tea
Shop, in the vicinity of Nara
