HORSE FACES EXTINCTION
 IN CENTURY, SAYS SAVANT
Professor So Confident Of That State- mept That He Is Collecting
 Specimens for Poxterity

Berkeley. cala Dec. 1i.--Statistics recently circulated stated that horses, in large measure freed, because of motor power, from the labors that made them beasts of burden, were increasing rather than diminishing in number. But now comes Professor T.. l.. Furlong. curator of the verte- brate collection at the University of California, with the prediction that the horse will be virtually extinct on the American continent in another century.
 Professor Furlong Is so confident of his supposition that he has started for posterity a collection of all modern specimens of the equine family. His collection will rest in the museum of paleontology. along with the bones of the three-toed horse and other pre- historic kin.
 Recalling the dominating position of motor conveyances in the cities, Pro- lessor Furiong adds: Daily the trae- tor and the automobile are taking the place of the horse fin rural life As the usefulness of the horse passes, so will the necessity for his existence. Before many years the use of a horse for the purposes with which he has teen identified since time immemoriaI will be a curiosity. Tn another hum dred years you may find horses in zoos am sure you will not find them anywhere else"

TENNIS MATCHES OF
 THE PASSING YEAR
J. s. Holds Davis Cup--MiSS
 Wills Becomes Wizard

Americas tennis supremacy, uni- versaIy recognized since 1920, re- mained unqnestioned throughout 1923. For the third year in success sion the United States defenders of the international Davis Cup turned back the strongest or the r chal- lenging nations with comparative ease. For the third time in four years an American, William NJ. John ston Of California, won the worlds turf court championship at Wimble- don after taking the worlds clay court title in France.
 Added prestige came with the over whelminG triumph Of the American women's tennis team over the highly rated women players of England in their first international match at For est Hills. Mrs. Moiia Mallory, Miss Gelen Wills, Miss Elleanor Goss and Mrs. George W. Wightman. conceded only an outside chance of defeating Hiss McKane, Mrs. Bcamish. Mrs. Clayton and Mrs. Covell. surprised with clean sweep of seven matches.
 Standing out prominently as one or the features Of the season was the sensational victory Of l7-year.o Miss Helen Wills or California in the title round Of the women's national championship. For the first time in four years on an American court Mrs. Mola Mallory, six times ma. tional champion, was forced 10 ac- ccpt defeat. In clinching her tri- umph the Pacific coast schoolgirl played the sort Of tennis that, in the opinion of competent critics. bids fair 10 dethrone Mile. Longlen Of France as worlds champion before long.
 The year saw an unusually large number of foreign stars on Amer ican courts, but only one national championship was carried out or the country, Miss McKane and Mrs. Beamish of England winning the women's doubles.
 In another title final, the mems doubles, Brian Norton Of South Af- rica shared the victory with William T. Tilden of Philadelphia, who again proved himself the peer of the worlds tennis players.
 Tilden won the national singles for the fourth time in succession. flashing greater tennis than ever be- fore in his brilliant career.

1928 Saw Passing Of Two Really
 Great Boxers

For tumultuous upheaNals and rap i idly changing championships tn" boxing season Of the past year has known no cquM. Four or five years back it was rarity for more than one or two champions to drop by the waysidc of decreptitude in the course of a seasons milling.
 Five Changes.
 This year no fewer than five cham pionships of consequence changed hands, not considering the tinpiatcd phoncys invented by the New York boxing commission.
 One Of the new champions failed to hold on to his honors long enough 10 show them off properly before the home folks. That added another unique touch to the years develop mnnts. Usually your champions play inc game safely for a year or so, do- ing the no-dccision circuit. This one was different.
 Two stars Dimmcd.
 Two really great fighters passed into oblivion. Johnny Eilbane, who won the feniherweight title from Abe AttclI and held it longer than any fighter in the history Of the sport. went down to an inglorious knockout at the hands of Eugene Criqui of France.
 It marked the first knockout scored by an invading boxer over an Amer ican cham pion in many yfars. kil- hanc vas but a faint. shadUWy ghost of his former self and toppicd over the first time Criqui hit him with n solid punch.
 Criqui, in turn. was beaten by Johnny Dundee, d short time after ward and left for his homeland nn e,-champion. Dundee richly deserved his honors as fcatherweight cham pion. lfc had been hot on kilbanc's trail for years.
