diamond nine have been rehearsing In the
gymnasium. Out door workouts will
start as soon as the weather permits.

BENTON HARBOR
MAY GET 1T

CHICAGO, Feb. 2S-The proposed bout
between Benny Leonard and Charlie
White for the lightweight championship
may not be staged in Madison Square
Garden, New York, 1t was learned today.
A strong possibility exists that the
match may come to the Middle West,
possibly to Benton Harbor, Mich.
Leonard passed through here Monday
night en- route to New York after his
fight with Pal Moran at New Orleans.
An injury to the champions hand made
it impossible that he will be ready for
immediate action in the ring. While in
Chicago, Leonard and his manager, Billy
Floyd Fitzimmons, Benton Harbor pro-
moter, that the champion would box for
FitzsimmonS on July 4. There Is
strong probability, it was indicated, that
the White match will be postponed until
July and staged at Benton HarDor.
II White is taken on before July 4,
then "Pinkie Mitchell, the Milwaukee
boy, is expected to get the July 4 date
Leonard, it is understood, is demand
ing most Of the money for the Madison
Square bout. He argues that White
should be willing to Ego on for a song"
in consideration of the chance at the title
offered by decision match. White and
his manager are understood to take the
view that, while the match at Benton
Harbor would not draw as much as
Gotham engagement, White would be In
q position to demand a larger share as
he would be fighting in his home
territory and therefore would be more
Of a drawing card.

Fisher Hits MOUe
to Exile Football
Coaches to Stand

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Feb. 2s.-To take
the football coach from the side lines
and put him in the SPECTATORS stands,
as suggested by Prof. Clarence W. Men
DELL chairman of the board Of athletic
control Of Yale. would remove an in
fuence for good among the players, in
the opinion Of Robert T. Fisher, head
coach Of football at Harvard.
Football coaches as class are too
conscientious and value the good opinion
Of the boys they teach too highly to stoop
to unfair practices" he says.
Putting them away from their players
during the progress Of a game would,
in my opinion. take away from the boys
an influence they need, not to affect their
football, but to keep their point of view
straight
THE coach on the side line really Is
hardly more than a balance wheel for
the players. He is quickest to note. that
player has been hurt. yet is striving
to disguise the fact, and many serious
injuries doubtless have been averted by
coaches keeness.
During the years ! have been con-
nected with football at Harvard I have
known Of no side line coaching or signal
ing. I have yet to see a game the result
Of which has been affected because Of
side line coaching"

Purdue and Wabash
Go Holds Interest
of State Net Fans
Indiana Championship at
Stake When Rivals Meet at
Lafayette Wednesday,

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Feb. 2S.-with the
Big Ten basketball title safely tucked
away all interest here now hinges on
the Wabash battle tomorrow night. 1t
is generally conceded that the winner
Of the Purdue and Scarlet scrap will be
given the State title by most critics. Al
though Purdue defeated Wabash earlier
in the season the Boilermakers dropped
a contest to the De Pauw FIVE, which has
since been defeated twice by Wabash.
If Lambert's squad can put over another
victory at the expense Of the Little
Giants, the State championship will be
fairly clearly decided.
The Lafayette aggregation has lost
only two games all season, one in the
conference to Illinois on the Suckers
floor by a one-point margin Just after
Don White was declared ineligible and
before the team had had an opportunity
to become organized again and used to
its new style Of play. The other con-
test was lost to De PAW after Wabash
had been defeated the night before.
More interest is being shown in the
coming battle tomorrow than in most Of
the games Of the season and capacity
crowd is assured. Both teams are ex
tremely anxious to put over a victory
and a struggle we'll worth seeing will
no doubt take place
Lambert probably will start his team
as follows: Masters and Eversman, for
wards; Gullion, center; Holwerda and
Miller, guards. Reports from wabash
state that Goldsberry, Schanlaub ana
Thorn are under the weather. Whether
they will be able to play Is problemati-
cal, 1t is said.

Main Go and First
PreIina Give Boxing
Fans Actor, Sought
DOlUney-G riHths and Click
BOOrde Bouts Big Features
on Progress Card.

Two high grade bouts. one tame AFFAIR
and one of the "sock-o QUITO" brand
were dished up to the boxing fans at
TomlinsSn Hal last night On the program
In the main event between Johnny Griff-
this and Anthony Downey the 154 pound
ers offered plenty Of action and there
vetsra6 and TIN oy we're full
business and at the conclusion of the
affair opinion in general favored a draw,
though Griffiths probably would have
been given q shade on a hair-lne dect-
sion.
The main go developed into a real bat
tie and both boys upheld advance notices
regarding their ability to WELD the
padded glove. In the early rounds Dow
ney appeared to have the advantage, but
Griffiths solved his style as the bout
progressed and the veteran scored eff
fectively in the closing sessions. The
men were straight punchers, good on
footwork and shifts and extremely timely
with their blows.
In the opening prelim between Sidney
Click and Freddie Boorde the fans were
given a thrill a second. The youngsters
boxed at full steam and were roundly
aplauded when the final bell sounded
Boorde seemed to time his punches bet
ter and 1t appeared he was entitled to
shade. Click proved to be a willing
mixer and demonstrated some good fight
ing qualities. A longer bout between the
Doys PROBABLY would prove quite 1ea-
ture.
In the second prelim Jimmy Tomas
cello substituted for Bobbie Lee and
managed to stay until about the middle
of the second round when he stopped one
OF Bridges right uppercuts with his chin
and took the count. Jimmy apparently
decided at the start that his only chance
with the clever Bridges was to land a
haymaker aad he tried his best. How
ever, he left his jaw uncovered in the
second session while taking long swing
and Bridges beat him to the punch. AS
result Tomascello went out by the K. O.
route.
The semi-wind-up between Jimmy Fin
ley Of Louisville and Jack Darcy OF Gin
cinnati was tame throughout the ten
rounds. Darcy was wary Of Finley's
punching ability and remained at safe
distance. Finley, a puncher only, kept
waiting for Darcy to lead and as a re-
suit there was not much mixing By land
ing the heavier punches when action did
result, Finley was granted a shade.
1t was announced that the next ring
show would be held at Tomlinson Hall,
Monday, March Is, under the auspices
of the American Legion. Bryan Downey,
title contender, and Ted
Block Of Detroit will appear In the main

TEST FOR WILLS
IN NORFOLK BOUT

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S--All this talk
about Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills
for the worlds heavyweight title may
prove to have been wasted wind before
the end of the week. Wills, generally
acclaimed as the logical contender" for
the crown Of the champion, will try to
prove it by taking on Kid Norfolk Thurs
day night in Madison Square Garden.
If Norfolk should win the decision or
earns a draw Wills might as well
pack his trunks and go back to steve
doring. Norfolk is no world beaten, and
he has never been mentioned as q victim
for Dempsey, but he is an elusive, bounc-
ing fighter of the Harry Greb type and
is anything but a stationary target for
even fast fighter.
Leo Flynn, who handles Norfolk, de-
MES that he has made foolish match.
This Norfolk is a peculiar PROPOSE
ton. He can lick any man he thinks he
can. A year ago 1 couldn't have pulled
him In the ring with Wills, but he came
to me after seeing Harry against Bill
Tate and said: Get me that Wills quick,
before somebody else gets him." Flynn
said.
Under the New York rules which pro-
hibit holding with one hand and hitting
with the other, good many smart ring
men believe that Norfolk will beat Wills.
They point out that in all his important
victories, Wills has put over the kick
Xhila holding.

DEMPSEY LOOKS
IN GOOD SHAPE
Jacks Gotham Appearance

NEW YORK, Feb. 2s.-Jack Dempsey,
lean as a greyhound and just about as
rapid afoot, is in the same physical con-
dltion right DOW as he was the day
eight months ago when he playfully
tapped Georges on his esthetio chin and

Kearns has q slick, city way Of earn
ing the conversational decision in almost
any company.
What interested the audience most was
the manner in which Dempsey's hard,
compact torso strained at the seams OF
his evening Clothes worn with the air

for action, Jack showed a hard, lean
pair of shanks, a supple waistline and
apparently not a superfous pound of
flesh either above or below the belt. He
looked as though he could take on bout
at a weeks notice.
In subsequent three-round exhibit
ton with Larry Williams, he got lot Of
speed out Of his system without even
a deep breath and his Judgment Of dis
lance seemed good.
Admitting, therefore, that Jack would
have to slip a bit before Wills, Greb,
Gibbons or any Of them can figure to
take him, the immediate future is not
particularly alluring for these gentle
men Of the padded gauntlet. However,
