Huggins arrived here in the me-

his visit is to arrange for the players
to leave for the spring training camp
at Shreveport La, the latter part Of

before five minutes OF play had

stood 10 to 10.
At the starts OF the final quarter
Yale once again started with rush
and scored five points before the To-
cal lads Tailed one. The City Col

their star players, Lamm and Feigin,
allowing them several free shots at
the baskets, went into the lead and
held the advantage throughout the
remainder Of the game.

RickGrd Denies
He s Selected
Big Fight Site
Doesn't Even Know Location of
Brooklyn Property Rumor Says
He Hag Wicked.

The building Of a massive stadium
in which to hold pugilistic bouts in
the Flatbush section Of Brooklyn is
all news to Tex Rickard. A report,
supposed to come from a reliable
source, who is well up in Brooklyn
real estate dealings, that the Garden
promoter had finally found a site for
an outdoor arena in which the lead
ing ring battles, including the Demp-
Carpenter fight, would be con-
tested, has been denied by Tex.
Don't know the first thing about
it," said Mr.. Rickard when informed
Of the rumor by The Evening World.
1T is true that I'm looking for
grounds to build a stadium on, but
up to the present time / have not
been very successful. AS a matter
of fact, have not even looked at one
piece Of ground in Brooklyn. Sev-
eral parcels OF property have been
.ooked over, but 1 have not made my
choice"
The supposed plot ou which Rick
ard was to build his arena is situated
near the Prospect Park station OF the
Brighton Beach elevated station. Al
present the property is leased by the
Prospect Amusement Company and
IS used in the winter for skating and
in the ssummer for tennis. According
to the report, the lease held by the
present tenants expires on April l.,
at which time Rickard was to have
taken the property over for five
years.
