An air mail service between

loses the service. Of one of its most
versatile athletes when John Small
enters Fordham University on Feb
ruary first. Small is a Nashua, n,
H.. boy who has made an enviable
name for himself while at the Oxford
school. His record as an Al back
field man was brought to a fitting
climax in the Coburn game at Lew
iston, November 18th. The green jer-
seyed fullback was one of the feature
men of the contest. His work as q
guard on Cap Hollis court team has
been of great help to Hebron and his
services will be sorely missed
Small Is a graduate of Nashua
High, and has secured the necessary
number of credits at Hebron to quail
ify him for the Fordham entrance
re' uirements. He enters the Fresh
m"n class at midyear, thus saving
many months of school work. Ford =
ham receives a good football, basket
ball, track, and an especially fine
baseball man in Small. The He
brcnites are sorry to see him 90, but
feel that he is taking a step that will
save him both time anC money and
they wish him the best of success at
the New York School. His last game
for the Big Green will be against

II never saw a nice girl fifteen to

DEMPSEY
TO FIGHT IN JUNE
Wills MEETS WINNER

New York, Feb. 2.-(By A. Ply
The heavyweight ballyhoo for 1925
gathered full steam today when Tex
Richard announced he would match
Tom Gibbons and Jack Dempsey for a
return title bout early in June and
then pit the winner against the peren-
NAL negro contender, Harry Wills, In
September. Both bouts will be staged
either in the Yankee Stadium or
Boyles' Thirty Acres, Jersey City.
Richard made this announcement
after an hours conference with Glib.
bons and Dempsey and the lattar's
manager. Eddie Kearns. at which the
st. Paul boxer came to definite terms
with the promoter Wills already is
under contract with Richard.
No binding agreement has yet been
reached with Dempsey, but all doubt
that he would be seen in action again
seemed removed by a prompt declara.
ton in Los Angeles by Jack Kearns
Dempsey's manager. that the cham.
pion would give both Gibbons and
Wills an opportunity to fight for the
title. Richard said he anticipated nc
I difficulty coming to terms with Demp
sey.
The statements by Richard and
| Kearns synchronized so we'll that figh
experts jumped at the conclusion thai
| the program Of two title fights here
this year was as good as clinched.
| There was no explanation as to what
effect Dempsey's fighting plans would
have upon the matrimonial ventur,
| which he has announced for May. OBJ
servers concluded, however, that un

the champions fiancee. Estelle Taylor

her objection to tuning their wedding
bills to the sound of the rings gong

ard they would prefer to box Demp
sey in New York where official de
cisions are rendered. rather than un
der the no-decision law prevailing il
New Jersey. The promoter, however
refused to indicate what his choice o.
an arena would be.
| No announcement was made as to fl
nancial terms, but it was understood
that Gibbons will receive at leas

battle with Dempsey. The st. Pau

Leopold-Loeb Case
Explained by Grove

Loeb and Leopold are young intel
lectuals endowed with Superlative
natural advantages, surrounded with
everything that money can buy, af-
forded the opportunity of acquiring
unlimited education. but, like so
many other youths of today. lacking
the proper view of life. Their con-
sciences We're dulled by the phil
osophy which taught them that the
criminal code of Illinois and the laws
of their country were mere conven-
tons Of society which super-intel-
lects could disregard. They kid
mapped for ransom. They murdered.
But it was not their first offense
against society. The killing of little
Robert Franks was a cumulative ef-
feet, the inevitable result of the kind
of wrong thinking which is more eX-
tensive among the youth of the Uni
ted States today than most people
realize. 1t is leading in the direc-
ton which induces people to believe
that each is law unto himself: that
each may choose the laws which he
will obey. and that he may violate the
rest. 1t is one of the causes of muir
der and it is the cause Of the kind Of
murder for which capital punishment
is the only cure.
If the United States of America
has the power to take boys of
eighteen years Of age and send them
to their death in the front line
trenches in countries overseas in de-
fence of our laws. | believe that the
state has an equal right to take the
lives of murderers of like age for vio-
lating the mandate of God ami man.
Thou shalt not kill."-Judge Robert
f. Grove in The Forum.
