BOXER VS.. WRESTLER
is NEWEST PLAN
'Strangler" Lewis Challenges
Jack Dempsey; Both to
Use Own Method

Billy Sandow, manager of Ed.
FStrangler" Lewis, worlds heavy
Eeight wrestling champion, has de-
bosited a check for $4,000 with the
porting editor of the Nashville Ban
er in connection with a challenge to
Jack Dempsey, heavyweight boxing
hampton, for a mixed match to be
(taged anywhere in the United States
II date to be selected later.
Lewis has challenged Dempsey to
finish match, Dempsey being eligi-
)le to tener the ring with bare fists
Ind to either hit or wrestle, while
lewis is to confine his efforts strictly
b wrestling No holds will be barred.
| "This challenge has been issued to
be boxing Champion" declared San
low, "as a result of some little talk
hat has been going around the coun-
fy between different sporting writers
! bid others interested in athletics, with
view of demonstrating to the public
bat wrestling is superior in every
lay to the fstic art as a means Of
elf-defense. In the event that the
hallenge is accepted, am willing to
)3ager $500 personally that Lewis
ill defeat Dempsey before a quail
I'D referee, within twenty minutes" /"
81 realize that Jack Dempsey is one
the greatest boxers that ever
epped into ring" said "Strangler"
owls, "and there is no desire what
Pever on my part to minimize his
bility, but I am fully confident that
can handle him, else l would not
kree to the match. 1t is my conten-
bn that the worlds heavyweight
ampion wrestler is superior to the
ampion boxer at all times, and that
festling is a more powerful argu-
ent for self-defense than the boxing
t."
I nSandow added that he will immedi-
ply post an additional $4,000 to
Use the match if the challenge is
cepted.

until Saturday of next week and even
after that will assist, he stated, in
any way possible the Council, until
the new officers become thoroughly
familiar with the work. The Coun-
Gil has general supervision over all
college sports.
The Council last night v,ted to
become member of the recently or
ganized Middle Atlantic States Col
legiate Athletic Conference which will
take in colleges and universities in
New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Delaware. DR.. Walter Hullihen,
president of the university recon-
mended that Delawre join the new
Conference. It is expected that this
Conference will be of great value
in promoting harmony among its
members and also in rectifying some
faults in these lines. The Consti-
tuition and bylaws of the Conference
were read and approved. To stop
athletes from wandering from one col
lege to another there is a provision
in the bylaws to the effect that after
a student has attended one institution
and goes to another he must be
resident student of that institution
for one year before he can take part
in intercollegiate athletics. There is
no rule barring Freshmen from inter
collegiate contests under the Confer
ence rules but this is expected to
come within a short time.
