Of compromise and, as matters now

Game for Wilson Eleven in
DrizzIing Rain.
DORTSMOUTH, Va, Dec. H.

PORTSMOUTH, Va, Dec. IL
Roanoke High School eleven
came to Portsmouth today to
face the Woodrow Wilson High
School team for the football cham
pionship of Virginia. Roanoke
won the deciding game, 8 to O.
It was a real game of football,
too, one that thrilled the several
thousand fans that faced the cold
and drizzling rain to witness the
battle.
In second quarter Roanoke scored
a touchdown as the result of a
block kick. The Roanoke team was
then on its 5-yard line. The touch.
back also came in the second quar-
ter and was due to fumbles In
attempting a pass the ball was
dropped and 1t rolled past Ports
mouths goal post. Then a Roanoke
player fell on 1t and scored the
touchback. This was the first play
of its kind seen in either Norfolk
or Portsmouth this season.
In the second half Roanoke was
continuously on the defense, but
their line held and withstood the
repeated but fruitiess charges of
the Portsmouth players.

SIKH AND CARP
WILL BATTLE
FOR CHARITY
Federation Permits Bout, De-
pending on Clean Breast Of
SenegaIese BattIer's Story.
By international New. Service.

.nARIS, Dec. 1.-THE French
boxing federation tonight an
nounced that it would permit
another fight between Georges
Carpenter, former light heavy
weight champion, and Battling
Sikh, French Senegalese negro,
on, condition that all the gate re-
ceipts, the purse and all the
money from the moving picture
rights be turned over to charity.
Even the officials. the sporting
writers. and the boxers themselves
must pay the regulation fee to gain
entrance to the arena.
There was one other condition.
The federation officials declared that
| Battling Sikh must make a clean
breast Of his charges that his prev-
GUS fight with Carpenter was faxed.
Sikh, who was supported by
Deputy Diagne, representative Of
French Senegal in the chamber, had
claimed that his fight with Car
pentier was framed up before 1t
started. According to this accusa-
ton the arrangements were made
by the managers in advance, but
Sikh declared that he had tried his
hardest to win and was successful.
Carpenter, his manager, Francois
Descamps, NJ. Hellers. manager of
| Sikh, and others connected with the
bout all denied the charge Of Sikh.
After Sikh defeated Carpenter, he
was accused of rough house tao
tics" at the ringside when he was
second for another fighter and his
title was vacated by the federation.
Furthermore, he was barred from
the prize ring for nine months.
Carpenter asked for a return
match to- disprove the charge of
frameup. and it was mainly through
the former champions insistence
that the federation relented.

Kearns let it be known that he

Willard wants to meet Dempsey

public wants to see the champion

explanation, but ! do insist he
get into shape inside six months If
he wishes to tackle Dempsey.
"If the Kansan can not get into
shape by that time he never will
and will have to give up the idea
Of fighting again.
"The Wills match Is coming off
either the Fourth Of July or Labor
, Day.
II have reasonable assurances
that guarantee that. We will also
take on Stranger Lewis in a mixed
match If the promoters offer any
