ing their titles, according to Gene
Tunney. American light heavyweight
champion.
"The average champion, when he.
wins title, seeks to preserve his
laurels,' said Tunney. HE evades a
bout against logical challenger who
can draw plenty of money, in the fear
that he will lose his title. Yet the
champion will accept a bout against
an Inferior boxer for 81 900 or so, 20
through with the match and sustain
injuries which will keep him idle for
month or two.
"Where he can make $4,000 or
twice that sum, the champion selects
what he thinks is the easiest way
and loses. Such champions lack busi-

Managers Mack and Dunn
Lose Out on Ball Stars

Connie Mack of the Athletics and
Jack Dunn of the Orioles should weep
in the same handkerchief. Mack lost
100000 in one shot last summer and
never said a word. He could have
sold Wild Matthews for that sum and
didn't. After the season every club
in both major leagues passed up Mat
thews at the waiver price and Mack
passed him along to Milwaukee in the
deal for AL Simmons. Jack Dunn re-
fused S125,000 for Joe Boley last
spring. Four clubs were after the
shortstop at that time. Now Dunn
seems unable to dispose of Joe ut a
greatly reduced price.

Ancient Light Built
on Cotton Foundation

The employment of cotton as foun
dation for buildings erected on sand!
soil Is matter of common knowledge
but the story of the first application
OF the material to this purpose Is not
generally known.
Dealing with the ancient light as
Leasowe, between the Mersey and the
Dee, difficulties were encountered In
the search for solid base, and the
wreck of cotton ship offered an in
spiration to the builders. Some of the
cotton which had been washed ashore
was mixed with sand, and on this a
stone tower was erected SO
firmly that it was found to withstand
the fury of the mightiest tempests.

PRINCIPALS CORNER
HAPPINESS

HOW We want IL, How hard II is to
find, Some wise sage has said,
" Each creates his own heaven or
hell and lives in Il" Evidently
then l am responsible for my own
happiness or unhappiness. But We
do not always know how TO select
the right things to lead US into hap
piness. There is where the older
person OF more experience IS of use
to the younger people. Our faculty
code has always been TO do our ut
most to lead students to select the
right road to happiness. We are
and vigorously opposed TO
students doing those things that
lead TO unhappiness. No teacher
will recommend a road of unhappi-
ness to any student. The school is
not for the teacher nor is the stu
dent for the teacher. The sch pol
and teacher exist as a lighthouse to
keep students from the rocks OF
grief and ignorance and guide them
into the safe road TO real happiness.
