The choosing of brown in its several beautiful shades, to lead the procession of fash ionable colorings for fall, would have received an even more universal acclaim, if such were possible, if all had seen the beautiful wood brown, rust and gold which brings out so stunningly the style ef- feet of these delightful blous- es.

BEST At IRWIN
FIELD ON FRIDAY
Great Performances Looked
for When Butler and Wa
bash Athletes Clash,

Four men who rank among the fast
est sprinters IN the Central West
will meet when Butler and Wabash
clash in a dual track and field meet
at the Butler athletic field Friday. The
meet will start at 2:30 o'clock
Gray and Northam Of Butler are
the speed kings who wiz race Knee
and Van Arsdale Of Wabash. Each
man has an official record Of ten sec
onds for the century and Gray is
credited with having stepped the 100
in 9 AS.
Sure 10 Be Close
The meet is sure to be close. GT1ggs
defeated Thorn of Wabash by a mar
row margin in the shot-put at the
Drake relays. These two rival ath-
letes played center against each other
in basketball and also met on the grid
iron.
No better broad jumpers are on any
team in the State than the two who
meet Friday. Van Arsdale has rec
ord Of % feet 81 inches. Northam
has Jumped % feet inches. Butler
depends on Graham, a former Techni-
cal star. and Harmeson, eX-Manual
athlete. in the pole vault.
Wyatt Good Hurdler.
Coach Pat Page knows that his
hurdlers. Wilson and Stewart, will
have a real problem TO solve in both
the high and low hurdles IL they go
up against the speedy Wyatt. How
ever. Wyatt may not be in the meet,
as he is on the ball team that meets
State Normal on Friday. Woods. the
Butler College track captain. has a
slight edge over the Wabash high
Jumpers. but the high jump is always
an uncertain event. Leslie, the tall
Butler football and basketball star
will find a worthy opponent In Thorn
in the discus.
Coach Higgins is bringing the won
derful Wabash relay team TO Indian
apolis. Butler has a great relay quar-
tet. When these two teams meet the
local track followers will see re-enact-
ed the great relay race that was held
at the Drake relays few weeks ago.

GIBBONS
READY FOR
DEMPSEY
THINKS CHANCE is HERE
WAITED FOR OPPORTUNITY
WILL FIGHT. NOT BOX
BY TOMMY GIBBONS
Challenger of Jack Dempsey.

Written for the United Press.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, May g.
Every one is asking me what
prompted me to sign up with
Jack Dempsey for heavyweight
championship bout in Shelby
Mont, on July 4.
1t seems to be the general
opinion that l am sure to lose or
those questions would not be put
to me.
Every one has the ambition to
reach the top in his profession
and for years have had the am
bition to become the heavy,
weight champion. SO when the
opportunity came ] felt that 7
was ready for the best bid
could make, / accepted.
/ think my record Of thirty victories
in thirty four bouts by knockouts viii
be sufficient proof that also have a
punch.
The force Of the punch does mt
mean so much. because it counts just
as much TO put an opponent down for
ten seconds as / tdoes for 10.
1t is said that I am a better boxer
than Dempsey and I believe / am.
But I am going into fight Dempsey
and not TO box him.
For three years l have been point
ing for this chance l never bothered
Dempsey with challenges and made
no effort to get a match with him
until I felt certain that the time had
arrived and that I WAS in my best
possible form. I feel that way now
and for that reason accepted the
bout.
