morning after returning to her home
at 1923 Z. Sixteenth st. Sunday.
Miss Meade led Prosecutor Reny to
the safety deposit box in the 1ndi-
ana National Bank.
Then the prosecutor and the girl
went before the jury.
What Did Box Hold
What the box contained still re.
mains a mystery.
Apparently the box, about three
feet long and five or six inches
square, was opened before the jurors.
Prosecutors refused to disclose
what the box contained.
But Prosecutor Remy was much
excited.
He refused, however. to discuss
the girls testimony or the contents
of the box.
Ralp X. Kane and Attorney Cen
eraI Arthur l.. GilIIom, assisting
Remy in the investigation, also
refused to talk.
"All 1 can say is that it's fine
day." was the comment of Fred
c. Cause, also special deputy
assisting Remy.
Miss Meade came from the jury
room at 1925 and. with Deputy Pros.
ecutor William H. Sheaffer. returned
the deposit box to the bank.
The girl walked with her head
high, in an almost hilarious manner.
There's only one statement
that wish to make" she said
with brown eyes bright and almost
defiant, "and that is simply that
I feel fine"
Relieved, Miss Meade?" she was
asked.

would say no more.

M'TIGUE HAS VISIONS
OF MEETING TUNNEY

NEW YORK, December 23.-Mike
McTigue, one.time world light heavy
weight champion, firmly believes that
good things come to him who waits.
A year ago last May Mike was in
weighed into signing to fight Paul
Berlenbach. At the time the doughty
Irishman was a disliked figure and,
fearing the loss of his title by a queer
decision, he stipulated that in the
event of losing the title he was to get
return match. Mike got the con-
tract, but it was worded so that no
date was mentioned for the return
match, and Mike has been waiting
ever since.
AS matter of fact, McTigue made
the best fight of his career, and many
who saw the bout think he should
have been declared the victor.
McTigue fought Jack Delaney for
the right to meet Berlenbach. and
was knocked out for the first time in
his career. The anvil chorus was
sung over Mike, and it was thought
he had reached the end of the trail.
But no, Mike had brilliant idea
and engaged Dia Dollings to train
him. The little Welshman surprised
the fistic world by turning loose
wholly different Mike McTigue, who
waged an aggressive fight aainst John
Risko and continued his good work by
polishing off several worthwhile men.
Mike says he is back to stay and will
prove It when he gets Berlenbach in
the ring next month. Dia Dollings
will be in his corner.
OF course, Mike wants to fight Jack
Delaney again, and should the latter
consent to meet him, he hopes to
whip him and set sail for Champion
Gene Tunney.
Mike is ambitious, to say the least!

Referring to Lehigh's succession of

that Lehigh's athletics are, in his
opinion, cleaner than almost any col

way to pressure from without when

at such price. We wish to encour'

Illustrating the extent to which col
lege foot ball may be commerclall1eu,
Okeson recounts an experience at
Lehigh some years ago, when group
of star foot ball players tried to enter
college with alleged forged credentials
signed by high school pal who had
been dead five years. This group was
chaperoned by a young promoter,
who was said to have collected his
gladiators from the shop and the
mine. promising them a free educa-
ton, plenty of glory and easy spend
ing; money, but planning to milk the
alumni with one hand and squeeze

other"
when I came to Lehigh nine years
ago." states Okeson, there was
system of procuring foot ball players
and a regular schedule for paying
them. Not enough money was being
raised for this purpose and there was
a feeling that we were not getting
enough results for our money. 1t
