practically all of the leading college
teams on the Hilltop dunug the
early season and will trek North

three games, an unusual record for
the Hatchetites.

Buff on Cover.

4 FUTURE OF Johnny Buff
u adorns the cover of Mr..
"a Andrews book. It is Mr..
Andrews custom to thus display
the newest and most important
figure in his tale. Buff happens
to be that.
Buff was the only new cham
pion of 1921. Dempsey, Kilbane,
Wilde, Carpenter, Britton and
Wilson kept their titles. Buff,
already claiming the American
flyweight championship, beat Pete
Herman for the bantamweight
title.
Since the beginning of 1922
Gene Tunney has won the Amer
lean light heavy title from Bat
Ting Levinsky, but Carpenter is
still worlds champion of that
class. Gene is of such recent
prominence that he does not
even get into the book.
Dempsey defended his title
once in 1921; Kilbane twice; Brit
ton five times; Wilson seven
times. Wilde was stopped by
Pete Herman, but the battle did
not affect his title of flyweight
champion. Carpenter did not
defend his title of worlds light
heavyweight champion in 1921.

WASHINGTON, Sept 15.-Clearing
Of the skies in the shopmen's strike has
been followed here by an effulgence of
political sunshine such as President
Harding and his administration have
been waiting for ever since business be
gan to get better last spring throughout
the country. Again and again during
the coal and rail strike negotiations,
the president and his associates bewailed
the fact of an administration which was
! just beginning to reap the benefits of a
turn in the tide in business when two
major quarrels in industry upset all cal
culations.
Now however. even though the settle
ment at Chicago is only a partial agree
ment affecting a minority of the roads,
the confidence Of the administration is
that transportation will soon be normal
and that fuel viii promptly be delivered
to the industries who need it at the mo-
ment. The congressional elections are
about eight weeks away and it required
no extraordinary powers of political in
sight for the Administrations leaders to
visualize a heavy protest vote in Novem-
Der if the big strikes were still unset
tied. Apart from that were the psychic
I logical effects on business as some OF
the calamity prophets were beginning to
Shrug their shoulders and advise curtail

and an era of bad business. Instead
