Madison, Wis, Jan. {. - There

one Of the best basketball coaches
in the country, who 10 back It the

That's q record Of - per cent.
It 10 something to brag about.
But Meanwsll doesn't because he's
too busy with the problem he has
at Madison now.
He turned down hattering offers
from Harvard, Illinois and other
big league schools to assume the
duties Of head coach At the Badger
institution.
Fresh Start
He's now in charge of = squad of
novices and crippled football stars.

The varsity squad on which he
will have to depend is one Of the

outlook for another Badger tri-
umph this season isn't bright.
Locks Ahead.
Meanwell is concentrating his
real attention on next years az
gregation. The freshman team is
already superior to. the varsity.
The Badger coach owes his re-
markable success in the basket
sport to an original short pass
game which he has developed to
perfection in every team he has
tutored.
Every year he has been at Wis

He Says.


has SPOKEN. He has come out Of
his state Of coma and offered to
fight. What 10 more, he offers to
boz the man everybody thinks he 10
afraid to 1ght, Mike O'Dowd. This
all happened the other day when
william. . New York Italian, show
ed up in that town from Boston to
viist his folks. He consented to an
Interview when cornered and
spoke up boldly.
Wilson, you know, won the mid
dleweight championship from Mike
O'Dowd in 1918 on the strength Of q
decision BY . Boston referee after
they had Travelled II rounds.
O'Dowd always has claimed that he
was jobbed out Of the championship
at the Hub, but there are those who
saw the tight who swear that
Johnny had it ON Mike that night.
The new champion has been as
much abused in the public prints

that, but Al went calmly on his way
until O'Dowd caught up with him
In the last New Year tight under
the old Frawley law.
Wilson Gets Same Stu6.
Now Wilson is getting the same
line Of stun, but does not seem to
be bitter about 1t. He fought Sol
der Bartfeld In Jersey some time
back. made a bad showing and got
we'll PANIED for same. He admits
he had bad night, but denies that
he refrained from punching for
Bartfield's body because he was
afraid his crown would be wrested
from him through the referee dis
qualifying him for fouling. He
says Fairfield is q tough guy to
fight. but is willing to try conclu-
sions again.
But the main point in the Wilson
interview was his answer to the in
situation that he had been refus-
ing to box O'Dowd in 3 15-round
decision bout IN Madison Square
Garden before his home town fans
The champion said in answer to
that:
Say, I can always beat O'Dowd.
I never have been made a concrete
offer to fight him in New York.
When I get one from Tex Richard,
the Garden promoter, l will sign
You can bet on that.

when he says the word.
"O'Dowd Is over-estimated as /;
