SThe consensus Of boxing opinion in
1ezais is that the Senegalese is ca
pable of giving Wills a hard tussle,
Bht the American Is far the better

; Indications are that Middlebury
will face a veteran Harvard team
Saturday. Seven or eight III" men
should be in the opening lineup.
The rush line probably will be
veteran from wing to wing although
not all letter men. Behind the line
III" men will prevail entirely.
At center Esky Clark will be first
choice for the crimson. Although
Handicapped by his weight of 1S7
pounds Clark fought his way from

season, and he has ten more pounds

Stan Bradford is his most likely

Charley Hubbard, regular right

Athletes have their good DAYS. To-

morrow that same athlete, facing the
same opponent, could make him lCok
sick. All athletes and those connect
ed with them closely recognize this
truth. 1t may be psychological or
It may not. Nobody knows. But
they know It exists.
The night Turner tackled ketOnen
he was suffering from a number Ct
severe boils, brought on by too much
work He had feared KetOnen. know
ing his reputation, and worked hard

For three weeks Turner had work

husky Italian heavyweights at the
"Y" gym. Then, not content with
that, he had appeared at the Rock
vile fair, where he took on all-cOm-
ers. Some of those farmers facing
him were heavyweights and all were
big and strong.

We note from the latest issue
of the Littleton News Reporter
that its owners have sold the
paper to Mr.. W. Brodie Jones of
Warrenton. Mr.. 7. r. Walker
will be succeeded as editor by
Mr.. Ken K. Lyon, who comes to
Littleton from Long Island, N.
Y. While wishing the new
owner and editor of the News
Reporter every success in their
new undertaking, we cannot but
regret that Mr.. Walker will no
longer edit the paper. Since its
organization more than a quarter
of a century ago, Mr.. Walker has
been in sole charge of the papers

champion of the right, as he con-
ceived it. there are doubtless
many of its readers to whom the
News Reporter will have an I'M
familiar look without his name

will view with regret its removal.

company for six years, until Ranger
was made head of his department
Ranger was an empty-headed man
with the sole Idea of being a good dis
cipllnarian.
Bransforth had sent for both OF
them, and Ranger had stated positively
that it was impossible for them to
continue to work together At last
Bransforth had turned to Howard.
I'm sorry, Mr.. Gray" he said. But
Of course you, understand must APP
prove Of Mr.. Rangers COURSE"
Then I'll send you in my resigna'
ton, sir" said Howard.
Bransforth certainly treated him
very fairly. He gave him two months
salary and cordial letter expressing
his keen regrets at their separation.
Only, positions such as Howard had
filed were almost impossible to Sc
cure. And Howard and Luella were
to have been married that May.
Never mind, dear. You will get a
better position than before" Luela
said consolingly.
Her fiance kissed her, out he knew
the awful difficulty of the task before
him. He had been getting eighty dol
lars week, and the position had
seemed so permanent that he had
lived fairly we'll instead Of trying to
save money. He had only three hun
bred In the bank, for their first sup
ply of furniture. The ceaseless tramp,
tramp through the hot streets with
the constant rejection everywhere,
wore on the young fellows nerves. He
hardly dared to see Luella now.
They might have been married hap
ply three months before. Howard
was becoming desperate.
He had always avoided those parts
of the city contiguous to Bransforth's,

Luella called II fate afterwards.
The events of the past three months
slipped from his mind completely.
Once again he was a salaried employee
Of Bransforth and company.
The spell was still upon him ms he
climbed the long flight Of steps up to
the main office.
The Office was half empty.
"Any mail for me today, Rogers"
he asked the office boy.

Meanwhile, without any politi.
cal intention, it is proper to re-
call what Mr.. Harding said in
his address to the Senate, July
IL, 1921:
1T would be most discouraging
to those who are bending their
energies to save millions to have
Congress add billions to our
burden atthe very beginning"
Apparently, Mr.. Harding is
not easily discouraged. Or has
there been some miraculous
change, hidden from the country
but revealed to Washington, in
financial, business and industrial
conditions since last July?- New
