r. NTRIES are beginning to
r. come in for the city cham
pionship boxing tourna-
ment to be conducted by the A.
A. u, under the auspices of the
South Side Turner's on the eve
nings Of Feb. and 8. Competi-
ton will be held in nine weights.
The amateur champs have to
fight each year If they want to re-
tain their crowns. The kings must
battle for their thrones. There is
no way of side-stepping. Come to
think Of it, that isn't bad idea.
1t could be used to advantage in
the pro game.
Entry blanks are being mailed
by Arthur Paetz Of the Turner's to
all clubs which sponsor boxing,
and an effort is being made to get
in touch with the unattached I'M
paid pugs in the city.
There is nothing hard about en-
tering the tourney. All you have
to do is to register in the A. a. U.
You must be an amateur.
All boys not registered are invit-
ed to get in touch with the Turn
ers, who will attend to that part
Of 1t.
Unattached boxers desiring to
compete should call Paetz at
Drexel 1116 during the day or
Stewart 1885 in the evening. He
will mail the application blanks.
FS-1HE following which APP
peared in "Stirrin' The
- Dope" on last July IL
needs no comment:
There's one thing college athlete
cannot get around. He must be a fresh
man. And the yeariings look very much
like sardines in can. There is not
great chance for an individual to stick
his head above the rest
Sometimes nature helps out. A huge
fellow becomes a landmark or a little
fellow is endowed with SO much vim
by a sympathetic Providence that the
miniature model becomes a giant in
achievement.
Such a one az the latter is Archie
Chadd OF Butler. Some of these days
the sport fans Of Indiana viii hear
about this little fellow
He's going to dodge under several big
guards legs on the basketball floor.
He's one of those perpetual motion
players. He may be short. but he's
chunky with two sturdy legs.
Just remember wnen you hear about
Chadd in future years that we told you
about the little tad FIRST -.
rs a wise trainer that knows
his own horse. Nose Gold
1 blatt,. who looks after
Harry Payne Whitney's thorough
breds at New Orleans, started
Token last Monday and thought
the horse was Overall. The
Louisiana Jockey Club investigated
when the rumors spread and
found that they were true, but
eXOneraIed Goldblatt,
The trainer explained that four
horses were shipped to New Or
leans by James Rowe, manager Of
the H. p. Whitney stable. Gold
j. blatt had never seen Token or
Overall and a boy named Taylor,
who came with the horses mixed
them up in turning them over to
Nose.
The stewards recommended that
tickets on the horse be paid.
There was $7,579 wagered. Gold
blatt deposited the amount with
the Jockey club to pay back all
outstanding tickets. The incident
is closed except for those who tore
up the certificates-and there
were probably plenty of those.
UST keep trying all the
time. That's good advice
G to basketball players.
There's a young man on the In
diana II. team who is not as
sensational as some of the
others. He may not have the
flash, the brilIiance that sparldes.
He may, not be quite as fast as
some Of his team mates. But he
is in there fighting every
minute.
Frank SibIey Of Gary next
years football captain, has been
the surprise of the season ON the
Crimson club. The youth was
only a mediocre performer last
year, but he worked hard and
trained hard. Steadily he inn
proved.
This season SibIey got his
chance when Coach Dean de-
cided that the Gary athlete
was ready. He started his first
game against Kentucky and
virtually won the game for I. u.
with six baskets.
Since then he has been
regular and has scored con-
sistently except in the Iowa
fray. At Northwestern Monday
his six field goals led the In
diana attack.
TT1HIS is fast age and youth
takes its fling early. One
- doesn't have to be a vete-
ran ball player to hold out for
more money. Freddie Lindstrom
Of the Giants, who resides in Chi
cago, can't vote yet, but he has
ideas about things. For instance,
he wants more money from the
New York club. Automatically he
becomes the youngest major league
hold-out.
