The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-12-24

[ Nincentini seems hardly fast enough to avoid at least one square, brain jarring smack of that fist in 15 rounds.
 Richie Mitchell is badly shattered but he still retains that homocidal swing of his right fist which sent Leonard crashing down for a nine count and put White to bed on his feet for four rounds.
 Rocky Kansas has no speciality but he whipped White and Tender and went the limit thre times with Leon ard.
 There are five trial horses, one Of them is likely to throw Vincentini for as pretty a fall as any in the experience of the Prince of Whales.
 However, that's what Vincentini is up against. If he can't stand up," Rickard says, what good is he? He can't win the lightweight chan. pion- ship in raffle."
 There are several ways of seeing , the world. Some join the navy and glimpse it through a port-hole. Some join the army of the unemployed and watch it flicker past the blind bag gage. And some enlist with the var sites of Notre Dame, Vanderbilt or few other tourist schools.
 Notre Dame won the handsome Wilton carpet bag this year. This is the championship trophy awarded to the team that meets itself coming back from its wanderings. The Irish came to New York for the army game and returned over the same tracks a few days later to play the Tigers at Princeton. There was a side trip to St. Louis for the game with St. Louis university, and there were long hauls to Lincoln for the untoward incident with Nebraska, | and to Pittsburg for the Carnegie game.
 Next season Notre Dame will play curtailed schedule but the students on the team will make four trips away from school. Notre Dame has no department of travelling salesman ship but the faculty decided that it is part of the higher education to learn the knack of toting a suitcase or bestowing ones self comfortably in an upper shelf. If a man is to become bag man in later life, he cannot learn too soon the formal scale of Pullman tips, the art of shaving in cold water on swaying sleeper and the science of saving 40 cents on a $1.5O meal allowance. It Is obviously desirable to include this education in the college curriculum
 However, 1t profits a young man not at all to know the good hotels from the bad ones along the route
 of his subsequent life, If he has not
 
 lodging therein.
 In 1924, the student wayfarers will return to New York twice on suc- ceeding Saturdays. and they also have trip to Madison to play Wis consin, and another dare with Car negie at Pittsburg.
 Vanderbilt won the hand tooled gold-inlaid volume of Smoking Car Jokes and Humorous Compendium, | awarded as second prize to the team that makes the longest jumps in a limited length of time. Ann Arbor. Mich, and Dallas, Tex, saw the
 southern team on successive Satur- days.
 West Virginia also did some foot. ing about the country and Florida came to New York for an Army game. Marquette visited Boston, which was long, flying leap. in volving some changes of cars, and Syracuse took a running, Hopping jump to Lincoln, where they landed hard and heavy on the confident Bryanites for the second time in two seasons.
 However, travel may broaden the
 traveller but it doesn't fatten the the marks on the examination pa pers.
 There Is no lack of furred and feathered wild life on the pavements 1 Ol 4NeW l OTh Clly, HOT any ldCh or shooting, either with the hop gun, the robbers automatic and the dice. New York has native games and na- tive methods of hunting.
 Not many New Workers, preoccu- | pied with fears, lodging furtively | around corners after dark in the autumn season of crime and quick | adventure, have any idea that they l are playing the same game that the | bear, the deer and the game birus are playing in the wilderness and marsh, very close to the city. Yet, It | is only four hours in any agile fliv- yer. from the tall buildings and the | clangor of Broadway to the scowling rocks of the Pocono Range, the for | est the swamp and the murering quiet of the wild.
 On a recent Saturday night a story | broke in the Pocono wilderness in | the northwestern corner of Pennsyl- | vania. There were no trains, so. at | 2 o'clock in the morning, we set out | from the Jersey ferry landing in a small car on a run of 150 miles to a spot that showed up on the road maps as Greeley, Pa. Two hours | from Times square, a fox glided into l the flood of the headlights and faded | back into the milky vapor overhang-
 ing the hills. A little further along came a flivver. clattering down the | trail with buck, fresh- killed, strapped to the running board and again two hunters appeared like
