Knoxuille Quintet May Meet Winners of
 Alabama Tournament

Knoxville, Tenn, February 26-- (Special.)--A trip, on which will de- pend the southern prep school basket ball championship, is being planned by the Knoxville High school, to be un- dertaken next week if they win the east Tennessee title in the tournament now being held.
 Knoxville High school performers are being picked as the champions, and will in all. probability come through the tourney undefeated. The Georgia Military academy of Atlanta has agreed to play K H. S. Dhis will put the title of Georgia at stake. Plans at present call for the game to be played on Tuesday night at the At lanta auditorium when the finals of the S. I. A. A. meet are played
 From Atlanta. K. H. S. quintet will probably go to Birmingham to meet the winner of the Alabama state me- lee Central High of Birmingham oc- cupies much the same position in the state tournament of Alabama as K H. S. does in the Maryville affair. cen- tral High has consented to a game, provided they win the title.
 Chattanooga will be the next stop on the trip, with about two games in the Lookout city booked for the locals. CeHtTal f1ISn, cnamplOnS of that city. will be one of the opponents. K. H. &. has defeated City High and Metallic, second and third ranking teams in the league, and has yet to play Baylor to defeat all of the Chattanooga prep teams
 Last year K. H. S. won the tourna- ment at Maryville and indications point to another successful season through the various games
 To date the K. H. S. five has not been defeated by any prep school. They have tied Maryville college, defeated the American Legion, composed of for mer stars of the basketball game. in- cluding Lum Reader of Delaware, and have been defeated by the legion. The University of Tennessee defeated the K. H. s. lads in the first meeting be- tween the two, and suffered defeat at the hands of K. H. s. in the second game.
 All depends on the word ..if." If K. H. s. wins the tournament; if S. l.. A. A. officials agree to stage the match; if Central of Birmingham comes through the state meet undefeated.

ROPER IS ANOTHER BATTLER WHO HAS A GOOD CHANCE
By JAMES J. CORBETr

Pugilism has uncovered another perpetual motion" machine in the person of Capt. Bob Roper.
 He'll be the heavyweight champion of the world in two years-if he ever gets crack at the title," comments Eddie Long of Chicago. who has mingled in the fight game for a dozen years and ranks as "wiz" in the picking line.
 Roper's rise is the fistfc game is nothing short of meteoric.
 Alter six years as soldier boy, Roper was mustered out of service in December. 1918. Then he cast around for some sort of job, Fight experts. who had seen him at work in his bouts Tn the army camps, prevailed upon him to take up the mitt game as a means of livelihood. And early in 1919 Roper leaped his first leap into the pro arena
 Roper has been fighting about 22 months and has mingled in something like 50 clashes. That's an average of about one fight every ten days. No other heavyweight ever demonstrated more activity. And Roper was chased all over the country to get those bat ties. One night it would be a battle against tough foeman in New York two nights later clash in Minneapolis then Jump to Denver; then to New Orleans, Memphis. Benton Harbor. Mich., Portland Ore, Boston. Newark and back through the middle west and then into the south.
 Il guess I've done as much travelina in the last 15 months as most fighters do in battling lifetitme." laughs Roper Tt got 80 for while that about the only chance had for train ing between fights was on the Pull man sleepers. And that was rather difficult because Pullman porters. no matter how tough they are, don't make good sparring partners."-
 The soldier boys record is most i'm prcssive. It shows that he has fourht the toughest fcemen in the heavy di- vision of todayA-and he whipped most of them. He scored over Bill Brennan In a 10rounder in Saginaw whipped Bob Martin in Boston, outpointed Hartley Madden in Kalamazoo, gained decision over Jack Johnson in Mexico City. beat Gunboat Smith and Franl, Moran. and has listed among his other foemen Charlie Weinert, Henry Greb, Homer Smith, Tommy Gibbons. Boy McCormick and twoscore others. MOST REGENT TRIUMPH
 Ropers most recent triumph was over Jim Griffin hsavyweight cham

pion of the Pacific coast. Griffin went into the fight with record of I. straight knockout victories to his credit. Roper stopped Griffin in the second round.
 Bob needs only little more expert ence and little improvement in cleverness to rank him as the really logical foeman for Dempsey" asserts Long. He yields to no man in the world in gameness, in ring general ship and in ability to take punish ment--and then come back smiling for more. He's taken the stoutest smashes as Johnson. Smith. Greb, Mar tin, Brennan and all the others have landed--and no man has ever knocked him out.
 REMARKABLE ASCENT
 'Roper's rise in the fistic game is perhaps as remarkable as any that was ever recorded. He never had a glove on his hands until after his en- l:stment in the army in 1912 when he took up boxing as means of exercise and diversion.s He never took lesson from a master in his life. Hs is q natural. instinctive fighter. His first real fight was staged less than two years ago. And right from the start he has-unlike all other ringmen-- taken on the toughest of the tough.
 He's beaten them He whipped Brennan and he whipped Martin twice How does that rank Roper in view of the fact that some persons insist that Brennan and Martin are Dempseyss B most formidable white rivals in this country? And mind you, Roper isn't Eas good as as he will be In nix months more of campaigning. When he ar rives at his r,'l fighting prime. he'll give Dempsey the fight of his life"

PAULISKA IS SURE TO GIVE ED LEWIS
 FIGHT TOMORROW 1
Champ to Face One of the Cleverest European Crap
 piers at B. A. C.

Jack Pauliska the Hungarian cham pion, who meets Ed "Strangler" lewis at the Birmingham Athletic club tomor- row night, is said to be one of the cev- crest European wrestlers now in this country Pauliska has perfected wrist lock that is said to be more dangerous than the toe hold, and almost as effec- tive as the terrible Lewis headlock In the match tomorrow night Lewis will be allowed to use his headlock. In some places this grip is now barred. but Lewis refused to take a chance with Pauliska unless he was allowed to use his 5avorite hold.
 GOOD MATCH ASSURED
 The worlds champion will be in fine trim for the European mat man. for the big title holder has had a number of inn portant matches the last two weeks which have put him in good shape Tho big bout tomorrow night will no doubt be whirlwind affair, for the European grappler knows what it means to gain a. victory over the champion, while Lewis, on the other hand, knows what the title means to him.
 There is no question that Lewis is the most talked about wrestler who ever ueiu the tltle. Ills deadly headlock has been the sensation of the sporting game this season and volumes have been writ ten about the big "Strangler' and his crushing headlock.
 PAULISKA AGGRESSIVE
 Pauliska is fast aggressive wrestler, and from past reports he is somewhat . of a rough and tumble wrestler This style of graphing will suit the champion. Lewis is always aggressive, and never fails to carry the battle to his opponent, no matter who he is If the other fellow wants to rough it a bit, Lewis will al- ways take care of himself, and he is sure to give as much as he takes
 The American lgrappler has made up his mind to keep the title sare in tn- hands of an American. The big Ken tuckian was long time in reaching the top of the ladder, and now that he is there he intends to fight it out with all corners. Lewis is a real champion, for he has never refused to defend the cham pionship, and is always willing to meet all corners.
 Lewis and his trainers will arrive in town this morning. Jack Pauliska arrived in town yesterday afternoon and wilt work out at the club today with several of the local wrestlers.
 A number of high-class preliminaries have been arranged for the big match tomorrow night. in which some of the best local wrestlers will take part. Jack Parry. the popular boxing referee, will officiate.

THE SWISS SYSTEM.

President Harding has said, truly
enough, that actual disarmament
at this time is impossible-that the
most which can be hoped from the
Washington conference is an agreed
limitation Of Il armament. T h e
thing which may be got rid Of,
however, with safety to every na-
ton concerned, if the conferees go
about it right, is militarisna-the
spirit and method of competitive
armaments. And the chief, factor
in eliminating militarism, as Pres
ident Emeritus Eliot of Harvard
points out, is "the destruction Of
"a professional military class"
This is no mere dream, as Pres
ident Eliot shows by referring to
the Swiss military system. He de-
scribes it as the one method in the
world of maintaining q sufficient
armed force for domestic and de-
fensive purposes while avoiding all
danger of militarisna.
The Swiss army is purely .citi-
zen army. 1t is absolutely demo
cratic Every citizen is obliged
to undergo training. That train
ing, however, is so short and in
tensive, and arransed to come at
such seasonal periods, that it does
not interfere with the citizens
regular life and work. The result
is that there is always sufficient
force Of trained soldiers ready on
cali for any emergency, while in
the absence of emergency there is
no drain on the nations resources.
no dislocation of industry and no
military swagger.
