PENN STATE IS
HOPEFUL Of
NEW GYM

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, Jan. H.
Hopes of having a monster new
gymnasium by the fall of 1926 have
been aroused among Penn State
students, a gift Of 100000 toward
that objective having been an.
nounced this week by Hugo Bee.
dek, director Of athletics, as COM
ing from the alumni advisory ath-
letic committee representing the
athletic association. With more
than half of the funds necessary
for the construction of the build
ing already pledged, it is hoped that
ground can be broken in the spring.
A visit to the present armory-
gymnasium now that winter sports
are in full sway is convincing proof
that Penn State is badly in need
of the new physical education build.
ing. The present gym floor was
constructed when the student body
numbered less than 800, and 1t Is
still serving the purpose for 1000
men and 800 women students.
With the basketball, wrestling and
boxing squads all practicing at the
same time, the gym gives forth
the appearance of three-r1ng cir.
Gus. A special platform, entirely
too small for the large squad, oc,
cupies one end of the floor and
is devoted to the wrestlers. The
main central floor is necessary for
the cage squad, which leaves but
limited end zone and a small
upstairs balcony for the boxers.

he said today, but 1 stick to my
old statement that he is after a
match with Dempsey first and fore
most. If you can convince me that
the bout 10 not possible, will sign
Tor Wills to meet Firpo."
Among boxing men of prac"
tical experience, this statement is
regarded as being tantamOunt to
the assurance that Wills and
FfrpO will mingle. The bout would
draw a tremendous crowd at the
Polo Grounds, second only to that
which would attend a repetition

For one thing, Wills would get
more money than he has harvested
during his career Of push knock
outs over such as Bill Tate, Tut
Jackson, Homer Smith, Buddy Jack

near beer variety.
Mullins, however, seems to be
averse to a trial of this sort for
his chocolate soldier.

compelled to go through with a

This Baby Fooled
His Man On
Looks

LOS ANGELES, Jan. H.
Appearances are so deceiving
that Joe Pimenthal, local boxer,
is not going to believe his eyes
any more, claims George Blake.
Pimenthal was matched to
box Joe Salas at the L. A. A. G.
Salas is a slenderly built
youngster who looks like an
asphalt sheik.
But the slender youngster
has the kick Of a mule and
knocked Pimenthal down nine
times. After the bout the de-
feated boxer approached Salas
and said in broken English:
"You look like a seesy sissy
but you no 'heet' like one"
