Bob Quinn FavOrs
Athletes Completing
College Careers

Boston, Jan. 7.-(AP)-President
Bob Quinn of the Boston Red Sox is
heartily in favor of letting college
boys complete their courses before
signing them to play baseball He
made this known in discussing a re.
cent appeal by college and amateur
! athletic association to Judge Lands
high commissioner of baseball. to or
der the discontinuance of the practice
of Turing college boys from school to
big league baseball careers.
l. President Quinn said: Personally
I believe that there is no necessity for
Judge Lands or anyone else making
hard and fast rules in this regard. I
feel certain that the baseball mea will
keep their hands off the college boys
=" 1.-THE big Lacquer who has had the
benefits of college course has much
better foundation and chance for sue
cess as ball player than the boy
with equal physical ability who has
been unfortunate to the extent of not
having chance to go to college"
He suggested that an inflexible rule
would work hardship in the case of a
boy who finds himself suddenly in need
of money or unable to finish his coll
lege course and who might capitalize
his ability to play baseball.

(Special to the Kennebec JournaD
Wateryille, Jan. 7.-Romeo Pagan
ucci. former Coburn student and star

to coach the hockey team. Romeo,
who graduated from Coburn. attend
ed the University of Maine for two
years, also went to the University OF
Maryland. where he graduated after
several years. During his college ca
reer he was very prominent in
sports, he played football. hockey

Romeo is very prominently known

sent a member Of the st. Jeans
Hockey Club in which he holds an
important part. In the past few
years the success of this clus has
depended greatly on his ability Of
the game and at the present season
is going great funs, as thus far the
tea mhas won every game by large
margin and the best team of the
hockey that has been in this city is
in view at the present stage of the

Much Of the success Of the Co

Paganucci as coach because he pos

Jersey Senator
Says Boxing Laws
Permit Brutality

Trenton, n. j., Jan. 1-(AP)-
Pressure of business has set aside
consideration of the boxing situation
in New Jersey by the Bright legisla-
tive investigating committee.
The Harry Wills-Floyd Johnson
fiasco in Newark last fall had
brought down the greatest denunci-
alton from the critics.
Senator Bright, chairman of the
committee. made it plain that he
agreed that remedies were needed
and he suggested that the moral
forces of the state must be aroused.
Wills and Johnson fought less than
a round before 10000 persons in
Newark, and the technical knockout
was registered by Wills with John
son standing squarely on both feet.
A towel came into the ring from
Johnson's corner and even the re-
fierce wondered what had happened.
Sporting writer's agreed that the
match had been a poor one with
Johnson far outclassed. In a pre-
pared statement Senator Bright said
that he was convinced that the laws
of the state permitted brutal and
demoralizing prize fighting"
These brutal exhibitions" he said,
''have no counterpart except in the
gladiatorial exhibitions of pagan
days"

For several reasons the outcome Of
this game is uncertain. The game
which the Sem boy played with Liv-

sided to be much Of a test of their real
ability: school began Tuesday of this
week so that they will have had only
three days Of practice since the
Christmas holidays; and there has
been no opportunity to size up the Nor
NAL school boys. The game is to be
played in the Kicker gymna SUM at
Kents Hill and. being the first game,
it is calling forth a good deal Of In
terest.
Coach Rogers is undecided about the
starters and some of the positions, but
the probabilities are that the team will
line up as it did against Livermore
Falls. with Barry If, Ward Id. Finn
C, Tapley IF, Casper RIB. Bernardini.
Staples and Davis are likely to get
into the game as substitutes.
