Chilean ! Red Hoofs
Flying About Ring
Prove Pulling

Luis Vincintini, the Chilean
lightweight champion, who is
being hailed as 'the Firpo Of
the lightweights," since his
three fights in this country
have all ended in knockouts for
his victims, wears bright red
boxing shoes trimmed with q
neat band Of white. Luis
claims that this brilliant shade
Of footwear has been instru-
mental in winning many battles
for him. Luis Is as quick as
a dancer on his feet in the ring
and his flashing bright hoofs
twinkling across the canvas dis
tract the attention Of his adj
versaries from Luis arms to
his dazzling tootsies, and the
second they cast their eyes
downwards Luis mighty right
crashes in and then they hear
the pretty canaries trill and
millions Of stars take the place
Of Luis hashy feet across their
vision. Luis ought to keep this
q secret or the New York State
Athletic Commission will pass
a law against red shoes, which
happens to be about the only
thing they have not passed
some law upon of late.

believes in letting as much Of the
nation as practicable see the Navy
team in action and wants 1t to
visit the middle West in 1925. s
While negotiations had started
with Illinois, Secretary OF the Navy
Depby wants his Alma Mater,
Michigan, as the midshipmen OPP
ponents and It is now probable that
the matter will be taken UP.
None of the dates suggested by
Illinois were acceptable to the
Naval Academy. October 4 is the
opening date for the Navy, the
rs is between Princeton and Penn
State and a trio of hard games is
to be avoided. The Navy thinks
that November is, the third date
suggested, is too near the Army
game which is two weeks later.
October II seemed to be the only
satisfactory date for the Navy
which Illinois had not already filled.
However the Naval Academy Is

II will be ridiculous IL these
players now quit Mercury and Mo-

would make 81 Joke OF the sand1Ot
champi Onship fight which, after
some years, finally has been made
worthwhile. The greatest need Of
sandiot football Is an eligibility
code Lack Of one has caused the
present ructiOn. To this all seem
to agree.
DR.. Butt wants his team to play
Mercury first and then meet the
Mohawk In g. second game. When
Interior beat the MOllaWIxs,
justified objection to the game as
" factor in settling the champion
ship was raised on the ground
that Interior had organized 3
team Of college players, some az
them stars Of the first class, to
compete with comparatively nm
trained sandlOttegs.
This feeling with regards to the
Interior victory was (iisstpated
somewhat when both Mohawk and
Mercury resorted to padding with
Interior players. This gave DIR.
ButZ an obviously good argument.
The Interior chieftan cannot hope
to recruit more stars to take the
places Of those who left him for the
Mohawk and Mercury elevens.
These two clubs at least have had
an eligibility code, although q
flimsy one. Their padding ceased
two weeks before their encounter.
III the matter comes to a ques.
ton Of eligibility, the former
Interior players now with the
Mohawk and Mercury teams are
just as eligible as ever to play
with Interior. should they re-
turn. the Mohawk and Mercury
Stevens would be critically hurt.
The loss OF Dinty Hughes alone
to the Mohawks would be q blow.
This player, at right end, did about
three mems share in beating
Mercury.
To give the whole thing the ap-
pearance Of crushed banana. the
three Mercury players involved
might join Interior against the
Mohawks, and the three Mohawks
in question might return TO Interior
to face the Mercury team.

farms. showed decrease Ct about
Is per cent from the 1920 census
which placed the agricultural popu-
lation at 1889, 900 persons.
The movement from farms TO
towns and cities last year was esti-
mated at about 100000 persons, off
set in part by the shift of approx

and cities to farms This left. it was

to urban centers of about 100000
persons, or about SO per cent of the

cess of births over deaths reducing
