KAPLAN Is IN FINAL
IN RING TITLE HUNT

NEW YORK, December 13.-Louis
(Kid) Kaplan, Meriden, Conn, feath-
erweight, last night dimmed the
championship lights of Jose Lombardo
of Panama in a slashing bout at
Madison Square Garden in which the
latter was knocked out in the fourth
round of which was to have been a
12-round match.
The Connecticut lad thus earns the
right to meet Danny Kramer, Phila-
delphia southpaw, in a 15-round title
match for the pound crown, out
grown by Johnny Dundee, former
champion.
Kaplan, one Of the most active men
in the ring, was in wonderful shape
against the Panaman last night and
his powerful left beat Lombardo into
submission. though he himself had
been rocked repeatedly by a well d.
rected right which Lombardo poured
at him.
Kaplan carried the fight from the
start, rushing Lombardo from rope
to rope and weakening him with
terrific body blows. His wild swings
often missed, but he landed enough
eight in the fourth round previous to
the blow which knocked out the
Panaman.
The end came when kaplan landed
his left, neatly. followed it with a
quick right and then crossed his left
again, sending Lombardo half out of
the ring sprawling among the news
paper men at the ringside. He was
out for several seconds after the
count had been concluded and had to
be assisted to his corner.

Why He Lasted.
CHAPTER XLII

the feet hit the ground; the body is
carried with little speed; the speed is
not enough to carry the feet and legs
forward rapidly-the feet stick and
the weight of the body is thrown on
the ankles, causing strains or sprains.
This fault in running bases has
brought the career of many play
ers to premature close. BY failing
to relax and by hesitating in their
take-off when sliding. the players
continually throw their weight on
the ankles and this constant strain
wears out the ankles and slows up
the player. The legs are the most
important part of any competitive
athlete and when the legs go the
athlete goes. Few players know
how to take care of their legs; Cobb
did. While Cobb seemed to be reck-
less, risking his legs in desperate
attempts to reach bases. he was do
ing il In manner that insured
against injury and his record is the
best proof of this.
At bat he was rarely hit by a
pitched ball. Only once in his career
late in August of 1921, was Cobb hit
in the head by pitched ball. Jack
Quinn hit him over the right ear
and knocked him unconscious. Cobb's
peculiar stand at the plate always
on the inside. He was able to get
out of the way quickly. He had that
in mind when he adapted that pc
culiar stance.

HAGERTY WILL HEAD
1925 HILLTOP eleven

Jack Hagerty has been elected to
the captaincy Of the 1925 soot ball
team at Georgetown University. The
Dorchester. Mass, gridman was named
leader of the eleven at a meeting of
varsity letter men held yesterday aft
ernoon. He will succeed Fred Shee-
han, who played in the line of the
team this Fall.
Hagerty has played at halfback on
the Georgetown team for two sea-
sons. Last year he was rated among
the best backfield men of the South.
His most startling 1923 performance
was 95-yard run through the
Georgia Tech team in a game at At
lanta. The past Fall Hagerty was
handicapped to a great extent by ILL
ness and injuries.
Before entering Georgetown Hag-
erty was captain and star of the Dor
chester High School eleven and was
a Massachusetts all-scholastic half
back in his last year there.

Joe Blank was one of the most SEN
sational high school foot ball players
in America. But he was SO hope
lessly lacking in scholarship require
ments that one college after another
threw switch" on him. It also was
necessary to nurse him through col
lege, as he had no funds. When he
was about 25 years old, the big uni
versity decided to get him-or rather
their coach, scouts and alumni de-
cided.
The old reliable Benton Academy
gave the most promise of success. 1t
was an elaborate, even Napoleonic,
plan which was finally decided upon,
but 1t worked.
A nationally known American oil
magnate-one OF the nouveau richie
and not an alumnus OF the uni
versity-was waited upon by one of
the enterprising young proprietors of
Benton Academy. 1t was a long and
delicate negotiation and not as SIM
pie as it appears in the telling, but
the big idea was that the Oil mag
nate was to provide $4,000 to build
a much-needed dormltory at Benton
Academy, and the name Of the oil
magnate, as the donor, was to be in
scribed in large letters on the corner
stone. The hall was to bear his name.
But there was an important snapper
to the proposition. The'magnate also
was to provide S25,o0 as a scholar
ship fund, for the most capable and
deserving boys who might later oc-
cupy Magnate Hall.
Effective Work Done.
The magnate came through. but 1t
required moSe than the simple re-
quest of the two young men of Ben
ton Academy. 1t required some quiet
and effective work on the part of
alumni who could swing influence
even against an oil magnate. The ad :
ministration OF the scholarship was
cunningly drafted. 1t leaves the choice
or the beneficiary virtually In the
hands of certain men, who happen
also to be alumni Of the big college
and the core OF back stage alumni
group who constitute the real con-
troll OF athletics in this university.
So big Joe Blank got his chance at
last After a little perfunctory pol
fishing at Benton Academy he found
he had greatness thrust upon him
in the form of a scholarship. The
ways were creased for his entrance
to college-and there he is, living on
the scholarship funds and enioyinR
all the perquisttes and glory of a COL
lege hero.
And he isn't the only one.

He now is 81 years old.
At last he got in, and IL you fol-
lowed foot ball during the past few
weeks you frequently saw his name
In the headlines. He is a remarkable
foot ball player. He may be an all
America selection.
Landing this man in college finally
required a contribution of $4,000. 1t
is quite possible that the man who
contributed the money does not
know what lay back of his contri-
button, and 1t also is possible that
the foot ball player himself does not
know how 1t came about. Here Is
what happened:
Finding the Soft Spots.
A few years ago there were in the
big college two undergraduates who
had the unusual combination of scho-
lastic and business ability. They were
working their way through and found
it necessary to do some tutoring.
Among their pupils were many aspir-
ants for college athletic teams who
could not quite make the grade, so
far as scholarship was concerned.
Gradually the two young men came
to specialize on this kind Of groom
Ing. They learned all the soft spots
In the faculty lineup. and became
dStOHlSHlHSly duepL III SettlnS Uu1u -
bells past the matriculation barrier.
When they finished school, they
realized that in this highly special
ICED ability they had tangible bust
ness asset. They got some backing
and established Benton Academy
that is not the real name of the
school, but ! will use 1t for the sake
of convenience-about two hours
train ride from the college. 1t was
a preparatory school, and, so far as
curriculum and faculty were con-
cerned, much like any other private
school, offering the usual courses of
secondary schools and specializing in
the business of individual prepara-
ton for youths who did not quite
meet the requirements of the big
college. Boys from high schools not
on the accredited list of the univer-
sity might put in a Summer session
or half a year at Benton Academy
and gain their lacking credits.
But If one could look over the list
of pupils, since the beginning, he
would find an astonishing majority
of athletes among them. He would
find many men who later became col
lege stars. who doubtless never would
have been able to enter college had
1t not been for Benton Academy. The
preparatory school, he would find, had
become just what 1t was intended to
be-a back door feeder for the big
college. And incidentally, it is not the
only one of it's kind.
