T.1CCORDING to a story out
IA Of New York, Georges Car
IL pentier is to fight some
body" in Havana, Cuba, the lat
ter part of this month. The gor-
geous one is to leave for the
island next week. Carp will like
1t better down there. 1t will
seem more like France.
Could 1t be possible that TEX"
Richard will take a look at
Georges in action? You know the
big ring and hockey man has gone
to Miami. He started southwark
Thursday. Cuba isn't nearly as far
from Miami as it is from New
York. OF course. that's just put
ting two and two together. And
sometimes they shouldn't be put
together. at all.
1t looks as though Miss Wills
and Suzanne Lenglen may not
meet I'm the Carlton tourney until
next Tuesday. This day has
previously been set apart for
the Battle of the Flowers" the
greatest carnival on the Cannes
winter program. What could be
more appropriate that the battle
of the tennis court flowers on
such an occasion?
Jack Sharkey, who has knocked
over most Of the second rate
heavies in the East, finds himself
in rather tough spot tonight
when he meets Eddie Huffman,
the Californian. Odds are said to
favor the Coast battler. Just to he
different, we'll scrta string along
with the big tough Boston boy, who
is no set-up for any Of them.

It must be easy for Coach
Yost Of Michigan to speak of
victory not being the main goal.
Winners can afford to I've good
losers.
Utmost everyone we see
Ia says our prediction about
80 Indiana beating Purdue on
Saturday is cock-eyed. The adj
visers insist that the Boilermakers
play a whale of a game on the
Lafayette floor and therefore
should be the favorites. We do
not dispute all that. And they
may be the favorttes.
But we are going to stick by the
guns. Indiana U. Is good enough
to cop even though the home floor
edge Is against the Crimson.
That is, maybe. All this talk is
making us weaken little.
If Hawaii University comes to
Indiana u. next fall for a foot
ball game the islanders probably
will want good swim in the big
gymnasium pool. Sailors like to
go rowing when on shore leave
and diamond performers when
they get day off usually go to
see another baseball game.
We have already said our say
about the IndianarPurdue game
on Saturday. There are three
other Big Ten contests on the
same evening. This is the way
they look:
Wisconsin to beat Chicago.
Illinois to beat Ohio State.
Iowa to beat Michigan.
-7sN'T 1t strange that the
three racqueteers" OF
French tennis. Lacoste. Bo-
rotra and Brugnon, should pick
Mile Lenglen to defeat Miss Wills?
Yes, 1t is not. But press dispatches
carry the startling news with all
seriousness.
One of the trio said Helen would
be lucky to take two games in
each set. That's being true to
your own countrywomen. And it's
all right.
But we must get even. Now.
we want to make a prediction
which vitality concerns the French
men who are in the United States
to compete In the big indoor ten
mis- meet which starts on next
Monday.
Borotra at present is the indoor
champion, as result Of the con-
quest last year. But there is a
little warning that may not be
out Of place. Bill Tilden and Vim
cent Richards are in the tourney
this time. They were not in 1925.
This is something to think
about. Bill Tilden may be a bum
actor on the stage, but he is a
marvel on the courts, even with
out a great deal of practice, which
he has been missing. And even
though Bill is out Of tune there is
winnie" to cope with.
Now we are even with the three
eRcqueteers, for their prediction
ahput MISS wills.
