PROS ARELIKE
PICTURE STARS
Coach Stagg Declares They Are
Poor Class TO Have in
University.

Chicago. Feb. IL - Professional
athletes are much like movie stars
who get paid for being heroes, that
they have tendency toward lax
ness of morals and in their belief
that they are entitled TO special
privileges. Coach Alonzo Stage told
students of the University of Chi
eago here yesterday
Professional athletes are a poor
class to have in university" he
added. 81 don't say that all pro-
fessionals are of the unwelcome
type, but it has been my observation
that this lack of restraint is one of
the characteristics of a profession
al group.
IF professional athletes were al
lowed to play on college teams it
would mean the breakdown of dis
cipline. If the players had a game
on Sunday they might often be dis
posed to make excuses for not play
ing in their Saturday college game;
the whole structure of college ath-
letics would break down
"All the moral and educational
values of college sports would be
gone. You can't mix cash and
character. The reason for inter-
collegiate athletics would disap-
pear college faculties would not
permit a mixture of professional
and amateur athletics

of the world against Jack Britton.

Richards big fight arena. stepped
on the scales today and tipped the
beam at a notch below the limit at
which the two men had agreed to
tight, 147 pounds. At that weight
Shade looked fit and rugged and
no doubt is ready to put up the bat
tie of his career. He is having the
best possible practice. working out
against Panama Joe Cans, the chief
of his sparring partners, with Phil
Bloom and Barney Adair as follow
up battlers. Cans, who is a real
middleweight scrapper himself. is
not any too fond of mixing with
Shade apparently.
Shade is a modest boy. Iikable
and intelligent, as so many Cali
fornia fighters of the past have
been. He says in speaking of the
coming battle that he is going to
give all he has got and hopes it will
be enough to pull him through. He
has a great following in the east.
Those who saw him beat Mickey
Walker and George Ward. two of
the best eastern welters. are con-
WINGED that Britton is in for the
fight of his life.

EDDIE ANDERSON, CONOUEROR OF
MIDGET SMITH, SIGNS CONTRACT
FOR SEMI-WINDUP BOUT MARCH 3

Eddie the bouts. The kid boxed
in and around Madison Square
Garden for a couple of months be-
fore he finally connected with
contract to meet Midget Smith. This
affair was staged by the Brighton
Beach Sporting club of Brooklyn,
July z, 1921. The next day Eddie
broke into the headlines of the big
city papers. He not only won the
decision but was out in front after
every round, according TO the
Brooklyn Standard Union.
Immediately Eddie commanded
the attention of the public and when
he met Jack Sharkey at Coney Is
land, Aug. 25, there were 5000 on
hand to see him and that many
more were on the outside when the
doors were closed. The bell saved
Sharkey in the first round and he
was beaten most of the way but the
judges surprised the packed house
by calling the bout a draw. The
newspapers the next day cEiticized
the decision by saying Sharkey was
lucky to get draw
Well, Eddie was breaking into
the big money, as pictured by the
wealthy easterner but it seems not
much of this was finding its way
into Eddie'S pockets. When Ander-
son, Sr., heard of this he fastened
to New York and rescued the kid
from managerial clutches. On the
return both stopped off in Moline.
Eddie liked the environment of the
tri-cities and decided to stay.
To Meet SchmaIzer.
That's how it happens he is to
get his chance to show folks around
here something of the ability he I'M
doubtedly possesses. He is billed
to appear in Omaha, Feb. %. against

that hundreds more will strive to

to 20 Score.

The Island Citys continued their
winning streak by taking the Mo-
line Federals into camp last night
at the Rock Island high school gym
by a score Of 80 to 20. Paul of the

his credit. Johansen, the Moliners'
scrappy center and captain, made
most OF his teams points.
The Island Citys looked anything
but champs in the first half, the
light Federals outpassing and out
playing them during the entire fore
part of the game. The Island Citys
emerged at half time with a point
lead, 10 to 9. Rohwer's fine work
at back guard was feature in the
first half.
During the second half the Is
land CiLys came to life and showed
somewhere near their real ability.
Dismer, Hook" Smith and Dopp
uncorked some nice passing and
Dopp also rang up three field goals
in the third quarter. The Fourth
avenue gang gained a comforta BILE
lead in the third quarter and there
after were never in danger. Gay
lord showed to advantage for the
Island Citys in the final quarter.
The Island Citys' next game will
be with the Rock Island Boosters
Friday evening at the Rock Island Y
gym. The Island .Citys- Boosters

give the winner an excellent claim
to the tri-city title. Last nights
