JOEWOLCOTT, BARBADOESClANT
TOUTED ASFREAK OF PUCILISM
Known as ''The Giant Killer During His Prime-Was
Matched With Big Men In Heavy
Division

was just as thick as a block of hickory
| wood,-so thick in fact that many
worthy pugilist has smashed his fist
into splitherines against it His arms
were abnormal in length, and alto
gether he was uncanuy in appearance,
but it is certain that he was most
exasperating problem for any OF the
prominent boxers to hit, and after he
was hit there was little consolation to
the boxer who hit him, and still less
concern to Joe. Tales of the Rue dc
Morgue." were uppermost in the minds
of those who had read Poe to see this
fellow in action.
Counted in pounds and ounces he was
a welterweight, but Tom oRourke,
who managed and trained him in his
palmy days. had such a world of con-
fidence in the black that he was ready
and willing to match him against any
of the heavyweights in the world. The
big fellows were his especial prey. But
he had one bad point; he could build
up but he couldn't build down, and
ORourke made a. fatal error when
he wanted to include Walcott in the
lightweight ranks He matched him to
fight Kid Levigne at 13S pounds and
after he was trained down. he was
Sot thru with him; his strength was
gone and tho Kid had no trouble in
trouncing Joe.
But the big fellows were his meat
no de1eated such sterling middle
weights as Jack Bonner, Dick O'Brien,
Dan Creedon, Australian Jimmy MUIR
ply and a host of others OF less re-
nown. They all fell easy victims to
those abnormally long arms with the
mule kick behind them. 1t is fact
that topnotchers like Tommy Ryan and
Kid Mckoy could not be persuaded TO
take him on.
Walcott was at his best in 1900 and
1901. In that period he scored his
Rmous knockout of Joe Choynski in
seven rounds and defeated George
Gardner in twenty. This was at the
time when Gardner was considered the
logical light heavyweight champion.
The best way to sum up this non
descript OF the prize ring, is to imagine
a star welter today tackling a leading
heavy SupposinE Wilson should chal-
lenSe Dempsey, and there you have 1t.
The example is not exaggerated. Wal
cot thought nothing of such odds.
There Is small wonder that he gained
the title of Giant Killer" for he be-
licved that tho bigger they were the
harder they would fall. There was
never before or since such a replica
(color excepted) or Hercules struttins
within the padded circle chopping
down huge adversaric,, as was Joe

board of the college favors tho i'm

Tho estimated cost of the new strnc-
ture as planned will be between $4,000
and $4,000. of which students have al
ready pledged $500. While 1t will be
nothing elaborate nevertheless it VIII
be large enough to accommodate 5000
people comfortably and thus relieve
the crowded condition which has exist
cd at tho football games on Colorado
Field for the past two years.
1t is planned to have complete
framework of steel with wooden seats:
1t will be elevated above the ground
about six feet at it's lowest point, with
alleys and walks beneath into the var
ious sections and will be 300 feet long,
or the exact distance between football
goal posts. Space for concession
booths will be provided under the
stand and facing the allcyways.
Part of the general iSca and plan
of the grandstand were taken from tho
one at the University OF Washington
at Seattle. Coach Harry Hughes VS.
tied that in stitution while on his tour
of inspection last winter and WAS very
much impressed with tho Washington

HOW OLD IS ANN!

Influenced bv the reports of David
White, Chief Geologist Of the United
States Geological Survey, that the
oil situation may constitute one of
the greatest menaces to the future
prosperity of the United States the
administration has ordered an eH-
haustive survey of the probable re-
coverey of oil in the United States.
An "oil consus'' is to be made
which will require nine months and
the time of twenty men, il will be
the constant aim of the investigat~
ors TO determine Approximately the
life of the country's oil fields. Chief
Geologist White in commenting up
on the petroleum situation said:
Petroleum in the United States is
a wasting asset so far depleted as
no longer to afford a secure founda
tion for the obligations based upon
its assumed continued adequacy
It is declared that as far as Cali
fOrnia conditions are concerned the
situation is not as bad as in other
parts of the country, because the
high freight rates frhm California
across the continent will tend to
keep California petroleum unon the
Pacific coast In addition TO this.
the rapid development of hydro-el-
ectric power is III measure keep
ing UP with any possible slowing
down i'll oil production
We have at present the largest re-
serve supply of gasoline in the his
tory of the United States and it is
matter Of record that the oil in
dustry has always met every emeg
ency. Conserving orr supplies of
crude oil by eliminating waste is
wise policy but trying to estimate
the life of the petroleum industry
is like trying to figure out the age of
Ann. one gets no where in the at
tempt,
Petroleum and encouragement OF
the petroleum industry will do more
to prolong its life than all the spec
ulation as TO the life of any known
oil fields.
