OLYMPIC BOUTS

At CIRQUE

Announcement has just been
made In Paris that the boxing bouts
Of the Olympic Games will not be
held at Colombes Stadium, but will
take place In the city of Paris. The
Cirque de Paris has been selected
for the ring engagements, the
French committee has stated. This
arena has been the scene Of many
boxing matches and is admirably
constructed for the purpose.
Boxing is not the only part of
the Olympic games which will not
take place in the new stadium at
Colonies, for the regatas will be
held at Argenteuil and the cross
country events in Meudon Woods
There are no adequate facilities for
these sports at Colonies and none
can be built.
The French committee was Of the
opinion that the boxing engage
ments could be more advantageous
ly held In Paris, as there will be
more than 200 contestants entered
and the preliminary engagements
will have to be run off quickly.

Those who are opposing the new
rule are pointing out that schools
with small enrollments, like Eastern
I and Business, will experiences con-
siderable more difficulty in muster
ing a sufficient number Of candi-
dates for their various teams than
is now the case.
at Eastern. Western and Business
all three schools have been seriously
Handicapped for the past several
years through, the fact that the
number of athletically inclined stu.
dents have been small and as re.
suit the athletic directors have been
sore put to place teams in the field
which could hold their own with
other schools.
without the aid Of those few
stars who earn their letters in
three, and sometimes four, major
sports, Eastern, western and BuSi-
ness would have made sOFrOWfuI
shOwings. In fact, EasteTn's baS-
ketball quint Is composed in the
most part Of lads who played on
the football squad.
With the new rule in effect these
came stars Of the football and bas-
ketball teams would be barred from
further participation in athletics
during the. school year. Some Of
them are track and baseball stars,
Without their services the track and
diamond squads would be materially
weakened.
Every boy, no matter In how many
sports he may participate, has one
particular sport which he likes more
than any other If he prefers base
ball and track to- football and basket
ball, yet is a fair player in the two
latter, he now does not dare to go
out for these teams for the reason
that IL he makes them he Is barred
from playing his favorite game.
The charge is being made that
the &C" club, an alumni organiza-
ton of Central, is directly respon.
eible for the passing of the new
rule, and it is being pointed out
that If the rule Is not rescinded Cen.
trail will be the one of the five
schools to suffer less from the re,
strictions placed upon students

Central could have placed three full
teams upon the field, while Bust
ness, had four men been removed
on account of injuries in one. OF
their high school games would have
had to withdraw their team from

Mass competition in sports in the
high schools is something highly
desirable, but with the new role in
vogue interest is bound to lessen
until each and every school has
somewhere near an equal number
of available candidates to draw
upon for their several athletic
squads.

FoRESEE KEEN BATTLE
FOR SCHOLASTIC TITLE

Basketball bugs who have observ-
ed the high school teams in early
games, expect the approaching
series for the scholastic champion
ship to be a far more interesting
affair than that Of last year. Their
expectations are based largely on
the fine showings made by the
Central and Western teams.
Eastern, which won the cham.
pionsh1p largely by virtue Of its
splendid fighting qualities, is pre-.
pairing for another fierce campaign.
The last scholastic series resulted
in one upset after another, with

Joe Moore is the best known Of
the lads that win sport the red,
white and blue In the Olynnpics.
No doubt the fact that Moore is q
local lad has had much to do with
winning him popularity with the
home fans.
However, the. New York cham
pion has sI1ated in all parts of
the United States and Canada A
year ago he won the national and
international honors in such COM
manding style that most Of the
skating experts look to him to win
a lions share Of the honors at
Chamonix.
Moore Is ono Of the speediest
sprinterS in the world. Quick to
start and Of unusual endurance,
he has won title after title from
the best in the game. His remark.
able record Of never having lost
an indoor contest makes him one
Of the shining lights Of all time.
He viii unquestionabIy prove
himself a hard competitor for rivals
to lead across the finish line,
especially in the 500 and ], 800 meter
races. This does not mean he will
not compete In the 5000 and 1000
meter events. It is his present in
tention Of starting in every race.
A lad who is going to be q sure
point winner is Charley Jewtraw.
Born at Lake Placid, this lad was
on steel runners almost as soon as
he could walk. The fact that he is
most persistent has made him q
champion. His rise to the top Of
the ice s. ating world was not a
battle Of q day or season, but a
continuous effort extending over a
period of years In which he not
only defeated the best international
skaters but overcame circum-
stances that for q period of time
seemed against him at every race.
He has trained hard and well for
the international meet. If he does
