The initial Illini classic was held
here in March, 1917, and attracted
175 athletes from 10 universities.
The war held the number of entries
down in 1918 and only 16 schools
competed. In 1919 it was omitted
but was revived again in 1920 with
16 universities, seven colleges and
two high schools in it
Last year all records were brok-
en-, with the competing of 1872 ath-
letes from AZ schools. 1t became an
intersectional affair, with represent
atives from every section in the
country except the south. George
town university. University of
Pennsylvania, Nebraska. Kansas,
Minnesota and teams from every
part came to compete in this first
indoor relay contest. This year it

STATE.
STATE is the former Holy Cross
star who had a brief trial with the
New York Giants and Boston Red
Sox
STATE, who is little fellow, was
pronounced too light to stand the
strain Of a major league campaign.
In addition, he didn't seem to be
able to solve big league pitching.
Manager Killifer of the Los An
geles club is hopeful that Twombly
will fill the hole made by the loss
of Statz
Twombly has never had a real
chance to show his worth as a big
league regular He is a left-hand-
ed hitter, fairly fast on his feet
and a good fielder.
TwOmbly seems to have the abil-

BENNY SERIOUS.
TRAINING HARD
FOR NEXT BOUT
Lightweight Champion Not to Take
Any Chances With Rocky
Kansas.
BY FAIR PLAY.

Copyright, 1922, by The August
New York, Feb. 6.-Benny Leon
ard stepped upon the scales today
at Seaman's gymnasium, where he
is training for his bout with Rocky
Kansas, and tipped the beam at the
figure which the champion and his
manager said was satisfactory. The
exact figures were not disclosed
but it is reported the weight was
within the lightweight limit. Leon
ard is. taking the coming fight seri-
ously, and well he may. Kansas is
a tough bird and if he lands one
of his club-like wallops sQuareiy
next Friday night, not even Ben
ny is likely to weather it.
In their battle last summer at
Harrison, N j., Benny was well
over the lightweight limit. 1t was
whispered that he agreed not to
try for a knockout in return for
Rocky's waving the weight handi-
cap. Leonard denies this and states
that as he was ignorant of the Buff
falo lighters style. he went care
fully about the business of piling
up points, taking no chance of put
ting his jaw in the way of one of
the Italians high pressure wallops.
At any rate, he gave Kansas a box
ing lesson.
Leonard's known fear of the sort
of decisions handed out in New
York may lead him to change his
style in the coming battle. If he
can put over knockout, the
chances are he will. Kansas, VINO
is training on Long Island, indicat-
ed that he believes that Leonard at
1876 pounds will not have the steam
to put him away even if he lands
his much talked of right.
Dave Shade of San Francisco has
won a host of friends in this neck
Of the woods. They look confident
ly to the coast boy to take Jack
Britton's welter-weight title in their
coming mixup. If the title is TO
pass, Shade seems to have the most
likely chance of taking it as the
remainder of the present crop of
welterweights is not impressive.
Joe Benjamin, the Los Angeles
is not discouraged by
his defeat at the hands of Johnny
Dundee. Joe admits that Dundee
knew too much for him. But he be
lieves that experience is all he
needs and the program of fights
which he has in mind will give him
plenty of that

NIP and TUCK
GAME DECIDED
BY 26-18 COUNT
Loss Of Andreen By Personal Fouls
I'm Last Period Costly to
Islanders.
Especial to The Argus.)

Peoria, Ill, Feb. s.-Bradley
Tech basketball team secured re-
venge for an early season defeat
from Augustana college team OF
Rock Island here Saturday night
by winning, 26 to Is. The game
was one OF those nip and tuck al
fairs that keeps spectator on their
toes throughout, and in which the
players fight to the limit of their
powers to swing victory their way.
Augustana fought desperately from
first to final whistle but the fates
seemed agaist il at every stage.
1t was either sides game until
the last eight minutes when Au-
gustana's chances went out with
the election of Andreen from the
game on four personal fouls. An
dreen was the principal cog anG
scorer in Augustana's playing and
his enforced departure from the
contest at a critical time undouJt-
eddy had a disheartening eff I
upon his mates that left Bradley IN
undisputed possession of the vic
tory
The score was 81 to IS in favor
'of Bradley at this juncture. Angus
tana was staging a remarkable bat
tie and Bradley partisans rightly
feared the local team would be
nosed out before the finish. With
Andreen's departure, however, Au
gustana's further efforts proved NIL
and the Peorians added five points.
A free throw. by Andreen and
field goal by Rydholm from the
middle of the floor put Augusta Ia
away in the lead at the start. Brad
ley followed quickly with two field
goals, and with the exception of
brief period at the start of the sec
ond half were not passed during the
remainder of the contest. The first
half ended IA to IL for Bradley. A
squirt at the beginning of the sec
ond half put Augustana in the lead,
1 Ito Is.
Andreen was the big star for the
losers. He was the only Augustara
man capable of eluding the Bradla ~

BILLY EVANS SAYS

Golf is no longer a smalltime
amusement.
In the past five years it has
made rapid strides.
1t has become an all-year-round
sport. Those possessing the filthy
lucre, journey south or to the coast

Others not fortunate have gone
in strong for the indoor game. In
door golf is no longer an institu-
ton merely for the beginner. The
veteran is also able to use it to ad-
vantage.

now at it's height. From now until
the closing of the season, the lead

WICK TO LEAD
MICHIGAN TEAM

Ann Arbor. Mich. Feb. 6.-There
may be no George Sisters or "Joha.
ny" Lavans in this years Univer-
sity of Michigan baseball squad, but
indications are that Coach Ray
Fisher will have a well balanced
team First call for practice in the
cage at Waterman gymnasium will
be issued Feb. Is.
Led by Captain Ernie" Wick, Ali
American football center, the squad
will be particularly strong in bat
ter candidates. Wick is regarded
as perhaps the best catcher in the
conference. His work behind the
bat last season stamped him as one
of the best receivers that Michi-
gan ever had. He will be aided in
handling the pitchers by Doug
Roby, fullback on this years foot
ball team, who was the general util-
ity man on the baseball team last
year. He also may be used in the
outfield.
Last years pitching staff remains
intact-Dixon, Schultz and Liver
ance. Dixon is the best of the three.
being possessed of good control,
Schultz stands out for his GOODNESS
under fire. Liverance has the most
stuff, but lacks experience. All
three are right handlers. Smith. a
southpaw who was ineligible last
year and Mac Wood, from last
years freshman squad, will make
the others work for a position.
In spite of the loss of Perrin,
who goes south this spring with the
Boston Red Sox, and Genebach, the
nnffialA Y1Hnha h1xy will hn CO
Fisher has two veterans in Roby
and Roman and will in all probable
ity shift Schakelford back to right
field where he started to play last
year and was later shifted to first
base. Myers, the best man on the
all Fresh team, and Pearman, who
has tried out before. will make n
strong bid for a regular place in
the outfield.
The squad appears to be weakest
in the infield. The shoes of pete"
VanBoven and Joe" Karpus will be
hard to fill. First base will be well |
taken care of by the veterans
Schakelford and Johnson and |
Knode, the sensation of last sea-
sons yearlings-
'Utz" UteritZ, quarterback on the |
football team and last years sec
ond sacker, may be shifted to the
shortfield. In this case Hoffman,
a second string infielder last year,
will play second, Klein, who played |
the outfield last season, viii hold |
down third
The team will make It's usual |
swing through the South during
spring vacation The first game
Is scheduled with Kentucky for
early in April. 81
