IN ATHLETICS
IS BLAMED ON CO-EDS

CHICAGO, January 27.-The dis
tracing influence of co-eds on ath-
letes at Northwestern University is
responsible for the consistently poor
showing of the schools teams, ac-
cording to an editorial published in
the university's newspaper. the Daily
Northwestern.
''The alumnai are extremely radical
on the subject" says the editorial.
They call loudly for reduction of CO.
ed. influence in campus activities and
denounce the effect of the presence
of the. co-eds on the success of the
athletic teams. More than little of
the failure Of the teams this year,
they assert. can be blamed on Miss
Northwestern.
There are other schools with more
women and a giddier social whirl, yet
where successful athletic teams are a
tradition. The difference lies in that
they have such an abundance of ath-
1etic material any athlete can be
dropped If he persists in falling in
love.
Either the number of women on the
campus or their sphere in activities
must be reduced. No other school In
the conference has such a large pro-
portion of women. If the success of
athletics is menaced. as suggested,
more material will have to be at
tracted to allow for Cupid's fatalities
or the influence of the coed. auto
matically curtailed by reduction In
numbers, to avert the trouble"

NETMEN ARE TESTING
METAL FRAME RACKET

NEW YORK, January 27.-A tennis
racket having a metal frame is being
tested by several of the first ten
ranking players Of the country. with
the idea of manufacture in large
quantities in case it proves adaptable
TO the modern court game. The rack ct
is the invention Of William A. Larned.
many times national champion and
one of the closest students of the
game.
Larned conceived the idea of sub
stituting a metal frame for the usual
wooden rim racket some months ago
and has been experimenting with sew
eral models since. In Its latest form
the racket consists Of a steel frame
pierced for the gut strings in the
same manner as that used In the
ordinary racket.
Where the frame joins at the neck
Of the racket the metal is brazed
together and the prongs continued
and countersunk into the regulation
wooden handle.
It is claimed that the new instru-
ment Of play overcomes the dtsad-
vantage of warping and losing shape
when restrung, gives greater f1exi-
bility of stroke and additional
strength to the returns. Players who
have used the metal-framed racket
have found several points of novelty
in the latest invention and the real
test OF tournament play is awaited
with interest.

|BRADY OFFERS 100000
|. FOR DEMPSEY..W|LLSG CO

NEW YORK, January 27.-William
A. Brady, theatrical manager and
producer. has announced his readi-
ness to offer a purse of 100000 for
heavyweight championship match
between Champion Jack Dempsey and
Under the terms of Brady's proposal
Dempsey would take down the lions
share Of S150.000, win or lose. and
the match would be held in the United
States next July 4.
Brady. who years ago was a leading
sport promoter and managed the af
fairs Of Jim Corbett and Jim Jefferies,
who also was member OF the syfdi-
cate which first planned to stage the
Dempsey Carpenter fight last sum-
mer, but later gave way to Tex Rick
ard and his hackers, said he was
willing to sign contracts at once and
deposit any required sum of money
as a guarantee of good faith in enter
ing negotiations with the fighters.
providing they would post guarantees
of their own good faith.
The offer, following the statement
yesterday of Jack Kearns. Dsmpsey's
manager. that the champion drew no
color line and would meet any man
In the world. anywhere, for an ade-
quate consideration set boxing circles
hero asog.
Brady believes there is a public de-
ored champion and the Utah mauler.
The offer of 5000, 900. he thinks, is
much more than Dempsey could hope
to share from a return battle with
Georges Carpenter. which has been
suggested for London next summer.
Tex Rickard Approves.
II think a battle between Jack
Dempsey and the winner OF the
Wills-Norfolk contest would prove a
great fight" said Tex Rickard.
II do not think that there ought
to be any racial prejudices in the
matter. II Dempsey's superiority is
questioned by colored man there
is no reason, in my opinion. why the
challenge should not be respected.
have never been opposed to mixed
matches and would be glad to stage
a bout between Dempsey and the col
ored champion. providing there were
no objections raised"
Paddy Mullins. manager of Wills.
declares that he is ready any moment
to send Wills in with Dempsey. He
said he had taken Brady's offer un-
der advisement.
1--WE stand prepared to battle Denp-
sey or any other man in the world.

LONDON MAKES BIG BID
|. FOR JACK AND GEORGES

NEW YORK, January 27-A purse
equal to the one paid for the Jersey
fight last summer" has been offered
Jack Dempsey for second bout with
Georges Carpenter In London In July,
Jack Kearns. the champions mana
ger. has announced.
Dempsey's share in the champion
ship fight with the Frenchman July
2 was said TO have been $4,000 the
largest stake ever offered a pugilist.
Carpenters share was 100000.
'"This offer, Of course. is more than
tempting" said Kearns. "and I will
announce my decision soon."
The London offer was made by a
syndicate Of sportsmen. Kearns said.
1t came on the heels of message
from William A. Brady expressing his
desire to match Dempsey and Harry
Wills in London.
Recent talk in the sporting world
has included much of return bout
between Carpenter and the worlds
champion. The theory was advanced
that Georges in a decision bout would
be able to stand Off and wait his
chance at Dempsey's jaw instead OF
wading In to quick defeat as he did at
