AFFAIR WITH SCHLAIFER HERE

say about the Greb-Gibbons bout,
which he witnessed from the ring
side. 1T was a great fight but
can't figure out what was wrong
with Gibbons. He failed to show
his real class, while Greb fought the
greatest battle of his career. There
were times during the bout that it
looked as if Greb would take the
bell but the next moment he would
show a surprising amount of speed
and dash and score almost at will
In O'keefe's opinion, neither
Greb nor Gibbons would stand a
change against Jack Dempsey.
Trains in Chicago.
Denny O'Keefe is back home IN
Chicago, preparing for his impend-
ing struggle with Schlaifer. He
may arrive in the tri-cities few
days before the bout to finish his
training before local fans.
1t is reported that many Sou n
Chicago fans will journey to Dav-
export to see the mill, as O'Keefe
is a general favorite in the stock
yards district. Among those who
may accompany the Chicagoan, are
Bill Henry who fought Paddy
Clancy here last May, and several
other boys from Jack O'Keefe's

being disposed of rapidly AID

Prospects of Denny O'Keefe. Chi
cago weller who meets Morrie
Schlaifer in Davenport a week from
Friday, gaining a crack at Jack
Britton's title, are good, according
to word received from Jack O'Keefe,
brother and manager, who is in
New York now dickering for the
bout
Dennis met the champion onca
before and on that occasion held
him to a draw. Brother Jack be-
lieves the kid is ripe now to lift the
title, and naturally he is striving
to clinch the contest.
IF l am successful in landing
Denny match with Britton, we
will begin work for the bout i'm
mediately after the Schlaifer affair
in Davenport, writes Jack from the
big town. II had a long talk with
one of New York's leading promot-
ers after the Gibbons-Greb fight
last Monday night and l believe
this man will stage the show if he
can induce Britton to sign articles.
May Hold it In May.
"If Britton agrees to meet the
fighting harp the bout probably
will be staged early in May. I have
several engagements offered me in
and around Boston for April and
May but l will not sign up until
receive a final decision on the
Britton bout"

CONFERENCE IN
ANT|-PR0 MEET
Athletic Directors 10 Discuss Plan
of Action Against MerceEaTy
Player.

Chicago, March 16.-Western con-
ference athletic directors will meet
here tonight and tomorrow to d =
eide what action to take in COZ
nection with professionalism in
college athletics and to transact
routine business. The meeting is
looked upon as the most important
in the history of the conference on
account of the recent revelations
of professionalism which resulted
in disqualification of more than a
score of middle western athletes,
some of them selected for mythical
All-American teams, and possess
ing national regulations.

ciated Press shortly after the scan

coaches had decidedly different
ideas about the cause of the pro-

strong enough if properly enforced.

Western conference athletic di-
rectors will be asked their opinion
concerning the formation OF a
hockey association of middlewest-
ern universities in and out of the
conference, by Coach Fielding H.
Yost of Michigan.
There has been considerable agi-
tation for the formation of a
hockey league composed of Mime
sofa, Wisconsin, Michigan, the
Michigan School of Mines, Notre
Dame, and other northern universe
ties. Sextets from these colleges
have had men for the last few
years in a series of contests.
Permission for such an associa-
ton must be obtained before con-
ference school may join. 1t is
thought that the plan will not be
for only a few of the
western schools can support the
game as varsity sport

STARS OF WEST
ARE ENTERED IN
EASTERN RELAY
Attitude of This Sec
ton Undergoing
Change.
BY WALTER CAMP.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
The development of the training
season makes it increasingly evil
dent that a galaxy of track and
field stars will get there at Frank
lin field for the Pennsylvania re-
lays this year. A change of heart
has come over the colleges of the
middle west relative to these games
and Wisconsin will send Merrick,
the pole vaulter who has recently
cleared II feet 9A inches. Notre
Dame, of course, will send Murphy,
its star high jumper, and probably
will be represented by Desch, who
holds the worlds record in the low
hurdles, and Hayes in the sprints.
Iowa State will have Rathbun in
the twomile event and Illinois will
enter Osborne, the western pen
tathlon champion.
1t is a mystery how Walter Hig-
gins, the Columbia star miller, after
running the mile in the senior
metropolitan medley in 4:23 and
repeated in the Baxter mile a week
later, should have gone off form in
later games. Graeb, however, is
doing well in the sprints and has
Kelly showing lots of foot in the
distance events. Koppish, the foot
ball player, will uphold the Blue
and White in the quarter.
The victory of massachusetts,
Tech over the Syracuse quartet in
the relay at Boston will result in
the Tech team going to Philadel-
phia and it will be very closely
watched. Any team that can beat
Woodring. Mosie, Leonard and
Suttner may always be labeled dan
gerouS.
We shall be able to get a line on
the Pacific coast stars in the dual
track and field meet next Saturday
between the University of Califor-
mia and Southern California. There
will be much to interest the east in
the performances

New Men Showing Brilliance, How.
ever. Among Them Being
Bluege of Peoria

Chicago, March 16.-Nearly all
of the old stars, with the prob
ability that their brilliance may be
somewhat dimmed by new ones,
will shine in the baseball heavens
when the major league season
opens in April, according to reports
from the training camps in the
southland today. Managers are
now getting some idea of what
they may expect from their men
and the dispatches indicate that
those players whose scintillation on
the diamond in 1921 was most
marked will be right back among
the pace-setters this season.
Ruth, Faber, Walter Johnson,
Ronmel. Alexander, Mails and
Heilman, to mention a few, are all
showing sufficient stuff" to keep
their respective managers in high
spirits Added to the showing of
the top-notchers is the development
of a goodly crew of youngsters.
Even the mighty Bambino, in a
practice game at New Orleans yes
terday was eclipsed by Mcmillan,
a rookie, who smashed out two
triples, one with the bases loaded.

The Washington team manage
ment is SO enthused over the show

virtually assured that he will be
carried through the season to I'M

The Davenport high school bas-

victories and no defeats this season
enters the Iowa state championship
tournament at the University OF
Iowa today. The Davenporters will
meet Lone Tree quintet in their
opening game today.
Davenport will come under class
A at the tournament Glass A rep
resents any team within the state
that wishes to enter the tourna-
ment. Glass B any teams are win
ners of college tournaments. The
winner of the A division will play
the winner of the B division for the
high honors of the meet. Some
pretty stiff opposition will be met
and the team surviving the strug-
giles will be exceptionally strong.
Dopesters here and at Iowa City
predict that Davenport will not
come out of the tournament the
victors. The one thing that stands
against the locals is the fact that
they have won the meet for two sue
cessive years and dopesters feel that
Davenport is in for fall. Daven-
port, however, should offer some of
the stiffest opposition at the meet.

Bids Rejected Because Of

enthused over the idea of several

only two bids, not at all competitive,
offered on the others.
AS announced in our last issue.
the property owners on St. Peter

after some deliberation resolved to
ask the City Board to reject the bids
and defer paving that street till
some future date.
Following this suggestion, the
Trustees acted as requested at their

already paved, and who have paid
for such improvement which the
entire citizen body is enjoying-will
no doubt hope that the future date"
