last summer and therefore, ii in
direct line for the championship.
He will arrive some time next
month, and is promised early
action. That may be all for the
best since annoying delays often
hamper departures for the Southern
Hemisphere.
Meantime Willard continues with
the business Of chasing his shadow
around q six.by-eight dressing room.
He did this for many perspiring
minutes today for the edification Of
Alex Mclean, Boston trainer.
Mclean viewed the maneuvers
with a tolerant eye and at the fin.

surprised at Wizards physical con.

seems, had gotten himself into an
alteration with rfngside Gus

that when the rule was written intO

re that IS true, then why an the

Then there has been 8 succession

baseball parks can be used, which
would permit the housing Of crowds

BARS MIXED BOUTS.
But once again there is what
might be called the bar sinister con-
fronting q fight for Dempsey. The
commission once had rule barring
mixed bouts. It lifted it. But If
there was an effort to stage q
titanic struggle, slch as the Demp-
sey- Wills thing might be- 1t Is quite
| likely that some ministerial unions,
or some blue law folks, would step
| In and halt the ceremonies.
At this moment there doesn't
seem to be one chance in ten Of
putting on q Dempsey Wills fight
| in New York.
!. Beckett won't come across to this
side to fight Dempsey. That leaves
no other heavyweight Of the logical
variety in sight, with the exception
Of Tom Gibbons. And so far, Jack
Kearns, who handles Dempsey's At
| fairs, has shown no inclination 20
accept the Gibbons challenge.
It is likely that Kearns. shrewd
! individual that he is, wants 70 per-
| NIT the impression to be created
that Dempsey Is a little, afraid OF
Gibbons and so smoke up matters
i to the feverish point. Then Demp-
sey and Kearns will step in, accept
] the Gibbons challenge light
will go on.
NOTHING FOR JACK.
AS far as anyone can see just
| now. there is nothing in view for
Dempsey beyond the meeting with
Gibbons. Quite a few folks think
that Tom has q chance. .of some
sort with the mauler from Utah.
There are just as many perhaps
/, more-who think to the contrary.
But the difference Of opinion is
what creates interest IN fights. and
If the two men were matched, It IL
quite likely that there would be q
huge gathering around the ring
side when the boys climb through
the ropes.
If Dempsey doesn't fight Gibbons
this summer, II looks very much as
il the big champion win have to
epend the warm season In idleness.
For at this moment. the Wills. and
Willard affairs seem out OF. the
uuestion-and there IL no. one else
definitely worth while beyond Glib.

HILLTOP FIVE
OPENS SEASON
WITH VICTORY
Defeats Marines Through AII
Around Work Of ZazzaIi and
Pauly Byrne.

.nuTPOINTED from the field
six to two, the QuanticC
Marines gave Georgetown q
real battle In the seasons in
augural in Ryan gym last night
before going down to defeat by q
22-to-17 score.
The game developed into a duel
at free line between ZazzaIi and
Stanford, with the Quantico one
point collector having more chances
than the Hilltop shooter. Stanford
had sixteen chances at the free
zone and collected thirteen Of them.
ZazzaH stepped on the mark twelve
times and missed only two.
Superior teamwork in the open
ing period gave the Devil Dogs the
advantage. and they led throughout
mainly through Stanford's tossing.
They made only one field basket in
this period, but StanfOrd's six one.
pointers put them out in front by
an 8-to-4 bulge at the end Of the
twenty minutes OF scrimmage.
In the final half, the Hilltoppers
found themselves and soon forged
to the front, mainly through the
floor work OF Zazzali, coupled with
Pauly Byrne's tossing. Zazzali's
speed and artful lodging enabled
him to carry the ball to scoring
position and Byrne did the shooting,
netting three double-deckers.
Coach o. Reilly gave his reserve
talent a chance in the closing per-
Tod and they showed much promise.

Fowls Appreciate Good
Feed of Grain at Night

A hen consumes approximately four
ounces Of food a day, and poultry au-
thorities at Minnesota University farm
find she will eat two ounce of this in
the form of dry mash when it is avail
able. These ground grains are quickly
digested, and the fowl is saved the
trouble Of grinding all the feed in her
crop. Thus by feeding dry mash pro-
duction can be forced.
The other two ounces Of feed, says
the pOultrymen, should be in the form
Of whole or cracked grains, fed twice
a day In a deep, clean litter, giving a
little less than ar unc in the morn
ing and a little more than an ounce at
night. The hens crop is small and the
winter nights are long, consequently
the heavier feeding should be given at
night. Care should be taken always
