Dempsey Not Included
Tilden all but found a tartar in
Bill Johnston, his rival of long stand
ing; Hagen ran amuck plenty of
worthwhile opposition in the =. q. A.
tournament; Helen Wills was given
hard battle by Kitty McKane, Eng
lands famous star, and Mickey Walk
er can we'll be thankful that one Dave
Shade is not now wearing the weller
wreath.
Another - Jack Dempsey still
squats atop the heavyweight ladder.
But Jacks not included in this nara
tive, as he hasn't defended his title
since that memorable match with
Firpo over two years ago.
So, in year where titlists have
tumbled quick and often, quite bit
OF credit is due FASTENERS of the Til

Wills type for surviving the acid test
Of competition.

HELPFUL HINTS
%HUN TIERS
BY NORRIS HENERMM

When building a duck blind see how
small you can make it, not how large.
Seems like the harder blind is to
shoot out Of the more successful the
shooting is.
If making the hide out from shore
keep it low and compact. Don't spread
it out and put tower on it.
Try making one to initiate J musk
rat house. When you are done the
chances are if it looks to you like a
musk-rat house itll look that way to
the ducks. If it looks like Il Belgian
fort it'll never be invaded by the
enemy"
Keen 'em little!

has ever known. Today the experts
name Grange and Thorpe as the two
greatest halfbacks Of al time.
In addition, Thorpe starred on the
track and in 1912 he was the out
standing athlete at the Olympic meet
held at Stockholm, Sweden.
Thorpe failed to star in the ma ors
because he couldn't hit curve bali
pitching. He could go get them in
the field, was fast on the bases and
murdered fast ball, but he seldom
looked at anything bat curves.
Thorpe failed to get on the bases
enough to justify his retention as Il
big Lacquer.

BY ART CARLSON
This has been a tough year ON
champions! Crowns have shifted
from one dome to another with Startl-
ing consistency. The dethronement.
in a word, has been emphatic and
widespread no matter how you look
at it.
Few title holders have escaped the
concerted rush of the challenging
hordes along the right Of way. 1t
has mattered not in what branch Of
endeavor they've held sway. One
after another has been toppled.
The ring game saw the downfall
of several topnOtchers. Among them
were Eddie "Cannonball" Martin,
Tommy Gibbons and Mike McTigue.
Hoppe Drops Down
In wrestling there was a general
upheaval. Lewis, Mum and Zbyszko
stepped down.
In billiards Jake Schaefcr whipped
the once great Willie Hoppe to cop
the cue crown.

WILL SHOW PICTURE
"Iccbound," a Picture to Appear at the South Congregational Church Tomorrow Evening.

The picture "Icebound" to be shown at the South Congregational church tomorrow evening is not an other story>of the frozen north. The title refers to feelings rather than weather.
 It is the story of young chap dissatisfied with the drab life on the New England farm which his folks have worked for generations. . A glimpse into the warmth and cheeri- ness of a real home causes him to revolt against the repressed life of his own people. The trouble with his folks, says the young man, is that their hearts are selfish, hard, 'icebound." The confidence of a girl helps him to keep steady head in what might be a fools move. The main events in the story take place in New England and it Is said the settings are authentic.

 AMATEURS AID
Wants All to Observe Eclipse
 Next Week

New Haven, Jan. 1O-~Astronomers will be interested in the shape of the corona or fringe of light which sur rounds the sun at the time of the total eclipse on January "A accord+ ing to Prof. Ernest w. Brown of the department of mathematics and astronomy at Yale. The seeming re- latlon of sun spots to the variation in shape of the corona .was discussed by the professor.
 '"The shape has seemed to depend on the number of spots on the sun in past eclipses," Prof. Brown said. At periods when spots are numer- ous the corona Is nearly circular and extends outwards from the surface equally in all directions. If 1t is 0 time of few spots there may be long streamers shooting out from three or four places, which make it look like the picture of bursting bomb. This is a time of few spots"
 Prof. Brown suggests to lay ob- servers that they look carefully at the corona during the eclipse, try to draw it's shape and get others to do so and compare the results, which he predicts will be astonishing. In this connection he relates an in- stance when the three great astron- omers, Newcomb, Langley and Dem ming sat watching an eclipse and tried to reproduce what they saw Their drawings had only a rough resemblance" says the professor, "and a good lawyer might easily have convinced jury that the weather was cloudy at the time.'
 Photographs, however, give faith ful pictures, the professor said the differences being small and depend ing on the length of exposure.
 Times of few and many sun spots succeed one another at intervals ot about Ii years, Profes. Brown sald' They appear gradually after a quiet period, gradually increasing in num- her and then as gradually die out Tt is at times of many spots tha' wonderful exhibitions of the north- ern lights or aurora are soon'
