Harvard Indoor
Sports Display
Great Increase
Average of 1929 Students
Take Advantage Of Nu-
merous Facilities Daily

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec I5.-The
various indoor athletic facilities at
Harvard are in more active use this
winter than ever before. The depart
ment of physical education has just
made public the results Of a survey of
the attendance at the Hemenwav gyrn-
nasium, university squash courts,
swimming pool and freshman athletic
building, which show that the average
number OF men who use these facilities
daily is now f,229, as against $50 =
year ago
The survey was made on three days
December 7, and 9. An average
OF the figures for the three days gives
S21 men using the gymnasium daily.
34S using the squash courts. So using
the swimming pool and ia using the
freshman athletic building. The much
smaller figures for last year were
taken during 5urvey conducted at
about the same time in the season.
ihe largest gain over last year is in
the number of men using the squash
courts
Despite the recent construction Of
the freshman athletic building and
the extension to all Harvard men Of
she privileges Of the squash courts and
swimming pool, Hemenway gymnasium
IS still crowded. The largest number
Of lockers let IN any one year during
the ten years previous TO the war was
800 Last year 200 lockers were let.
This year the total equipment of 1 POS
lockers was taken by December s. and
waiting list was then started. The
college is now installing $50 more lock
ers TO take care of the extra demand
The demand for quarters for boxirr
has overfowed the limited facilities
at the Hemenway gymnasium, and as
result the department of physical ed
ucation has decided to abandon the
out-ofdate bowling .-Ileys in the gym
naslun and Is preparing to utilize the
space for handball, so as to make it
possible to use the handball room three
times week for boxing.
The total number of lockers taken
in all the Harvard athletic buildings
IS now 1884, and these figures do not
include those freshmen who live in
the freshmen halls, as these men dress
III their rooms. AT the least, there
are probably over 1000 men making
more or less regular use Of the indoor
exercise facilities of the university.

Tendler-F friedman Go To-
night First of Clashes
to Force Leonard Bout

One Of the most important light
weight contests since the inception of
the Walker law will be staged to-
night at the Madison Square Garden,
when Lew Tender, of Philadelphia.
tackles Sailor Friedman. of Chicago,
in q bout scheduled to go fifteen
rounds. These two battlers are the
leading contenders for Benny Leonard's IS
crown, and 1t was with the intention
of picking the strongest opponent for
Leonard that Tex Rickard arranged
the bout.
Leonard has been offered bout
with the winner Of this engagement,
but Benny has declined to fight for
Mr.. Rlckard, despite the fiattering in
ducement or 80 per cent of the gate
receipts. The promoter intends to
bring together all the lightweights Of
repute in an elimination round, thus
hoping to force Leonard into a bout
through public demand.
Friedman made q good showing
against the champion in an eight
rounder in Philly recently, while Tend
Ter has been on Leonards trail for SINE
time. A ten-round cmi-iinal between
Pepper" Martin and Harvey Bright
VII precede the main event. Bobby
Michaels will tackle Red Cap Wilson,
and Tony Lyons viii meet Young
Pierce in the preliminaries.
Jersey City hopes to regain favor
as a high class boxing center next
Tuesday night with the opening of
The Arena, newly formed club at
Sea View Avenue and Hudson Boule~
ward. Joe Lynch, former bantamweight
champion, heads the opening show. He
will tackle Patsy Johnson III a twelve
rounder.
Two Chinatown favorites aave been
matched for the main event of twelve
rounds at the Rink Sporting Clu5.
Brooklyn, for tomorrow irht. Wee
Wee Willie Spencer snd Benny Coster
are the boys and they will battle for
the bantamweight title of Chinatown.
Two other twelves Will precede the
main bout, featuring Charley "Nid'

Fay Keiser. of Cumberland, Md, who
gained fame by beating Bob Martin,
will be seen in action at the Pioneer

and assign them by draw into two diff
ferent sections of ahe list, their names
to be the first in each sixteenth Of the
draw.
Would Insure Keen Competition
If foreigners of high ranking enter,
they might be distributed in separate
sections. The effect of this plan, it is
pointed out, would be that the ranking
of the previous year would not dictate
the original selection, which would be
based solely on the current seasons
tournament records of the competing
players.
Chance would determine the relative
placing of the sixteen players thus Sc
lected, and the men so placed would not
meet until two rounds before the semi
final. This would insure keen competi-
ton in the early rounds and at the
same time give the lower ranking play
ers a chance to acquire experience
against the more experienced men
Another plals suggested is for the
arbitrary assignment of players based
on their ranking for the previous year
with the No. / man in the upper half
No, 2 in the lower section, No. 8 in
the upper, and No. in the lower, etc.

Chief of Police Wellington was

this week, on complaint that two
drunks were making an effort to
run down several school children
with an automobile. Mr.. yelling
ton arrived on the scene OF trouble
Immediately afterwards, and troubl-
ed two of Monte vista's young bucks
to appear before Judge Poison on a
charge of drunkenness and disturb
ing the peace. The judge fined each
OF the offenders about SIS and costs
whereupon one of the lads became a
little loose with his tongue and was
Immediately escorted to the "calli-
boose." After he had had sufficient
time for reflection and had given the
white mule" chance to exhaust
its kick" he was again arrayed be-
fore Judge Poxson and fined s25 for
contempt of court, making total
OF about $50. Its about time that
this bunch of Monte Vista boys came
to realize that they are more than
welcome here in Alamosa as gentle
men, but its about time for them
to realize that they can't come down
here and raise hell and get by with
it.-Alamosa Courier.
