State Senator Moves to Force
Down Boxing Receipts,

By United Ne1os
ALBANY, N. Y. Jan. 3.--Jack
Dempsey never viii ring up another
million-dollar purse on his cash regis
ter If a bill introduced IN the Legis-
lature Wednesday, goes through in its
original form.
Senator Reiburn Of New York City
dropped the bill in the box in the Sen
ate. It would reduce the maximum
boxoffice price Of tickets for cham
pionship fights from $25, the present
limit, to 81. The maximum for nom
championship bouts would be cut
down two-thirds, from SIS to IS.
AS the Dempsey-Ffrpo fight here
last summer was a $25 attraction,
those who attended the brawl believe
there never can be another million
dollar production at a price of 81.
Even at $25 a seat, the stands and
field seats at the Polo Grounds were
damned to accommodate the million
dollar gate.
AS the high priced seats selling at
from SIS to SIS, have been the prin-
cipal source Of revenue at the big af
fairs, the gross receipts viii be re-
duced to less than one-third under
the new scale of prices.

night with the score still tied; second,
Franklin, which defeated the Badgers
Wednesday night, 81 to IS, in a sen.
sational fray.
1t was characteristic Franklin vio-
tory with that punch, in the pinch I'M
corked in the second half. The Bap-
lists were trailing at the end Of the
first period Is to 9, but came back
strong in the final twenty minutes to
win. Vandivier counted five from
the field for ten of the twenty.one
points. Vandivier and C. Friddls
starred.
De Paw surprised by its over
whelming defeat of State Normal, IL
to IA. The first half was fairly close,
ending IS to IL, but in the final min
utes the Methodists ran away when
Normal Slowed up.
White and Laughlin of De Pauw
could not be stopped, the former scor-
ing eight field goals and the latter
five. Laughlin also tossed in seven
foul goals. The Teachers did not score
a field goal in the final period.
Notre Dame could not make points
when they had the chance against
Illinois at Urbana and lost, 20 to 81.
The Irish failed to show anything
very convincing and played a rather
ragged game. Grove led the scoring
with two field goals and five from the
foul line
