A COLD PROPOSITION
Japanese Wrestler at Penn State Col
lege Takes a Dip in Icy Waters As
A Training Stunt.

State College, Pa, Feb. 15.-Break-
ing the ice to take plunge in frigid
water in a nearby. pond may not be
considered the most comfortable bit
of training routine for the average
college wrestler, but it forms part of
the ordeal which *. Nalto, star Penn
State 135-pound grappler, sets him
self in preparation for the intercol-
legiate mat contests it was learned
here today. Naito is Japanese, the
first of his countrymen ever to enter
Penn State and is taking course in
the School of Agriculture. A master
'of jiu-jitsu in his own country, Naito
was quick to report for wrestling here
and soon attracted the eye of Coach
Detar. He was ineligible last year
but his work this season has been
sensational, and Detar is convinced
that the Japanese will be a steady
winner for Penn State.

CHANCE FOR TUNNEY
Former Holder of Light Heavyweight
Championship Will Meet Harry
Greb at Newark, on Feb %.

New York, Feb. 15.-The much de-
ayed return bout between Harry
Greb and Gene Tunney for the ligh,
heavyweight championship of Ameri
"a, will be held in Madison Square
Garden one week from tonight.
The tilt had been arranged for
Dec. "a, but the illness of the cham
oion's wife caused q postponement
rom time to time.
Despite the fact that Billy Gibson
s now the big boss of the Tunney
amp, Doc Bagley, Tunney's former
manager, will share in Tunney's earn
ings for this particular bout. When
funney decided to sever ties with
'agley he stipulated that inasmuch as
tsagley had arranged the return bout
With Greb, he was to draw down his
piece. Therefore, Bagley will be the
dominating spirit in the Tunney cor
ner on that all eventful night in the
youngsters career.
Tunney always has maintained that
he would whip Greb if the opportu-
1ity to box him again ever presented
itself. This much is certain. The
hampton certainly roughed up the
former "devildog." In the first round
of the bout in which Tunney lost the
title to Greb, Pittsburgh Harry but
ted. elbowed and otherwise treated
Tunney to a demonstration of the
manly art at its toughest.

Mr.. Heydler declined 10 divulgc

that Barney Dreyfuss. president OF

that he had been approached by
sponsors for the new league and ask
ed TO join Montreal interests in back

That similar interest also had made
overtures to club owners in Wash

for major league material, but other

Edward G.. Barrow, business mana

Tuesday night that he had been Offer
ed the presidency of the new circuit

Meanwhile, it was pointed out that
as originally outlined last night,
league organizers would encounter
practically insurmountable obstacles
should an attempt be made to invade
International League territory, unless
an avowed intention of warning on the
latter organization-as a result of the
present draft controversy, was made.
Officials, however, generally were
understood to hold the view that
there was no necessity of drastic ac-

which opposed the draft, although
recognizing that an important issue
exists, of which no solution is in
