CARPENTER Interview

New York. Jan. 15.-(AP)-A more
accurate version of Georges Carpen-
tiers interview with newspapermen,
given after his arrival from France,
came to light today-all because one
of the interviewers understood
French and gathered the import OF
remarks supposedly interpreted for
newspapermen by Jack Curley, the
boxers American manager.
This is the translated version OF
the interview:
Curley to Carpenter: what do
you want to give the boys, Georges!
Carpenter to Curley: Tell these
birds anything you want"
Curley to newspapermen: "Georges
says he, is very happy to be back in
this country again and enjoys above
all his association with the writer's.
Carpenter to Curley: Get rid OF
this gang as soon as possible. I've got
a date at seven thirty"
Curley to newspapermen: He says
he would like to fight Paul Rerlen-
bach for the light heavyweight title,
and he wishes you boys happy New
Year."

and st. Jeans will open the series
for the city championship on Sat-
urday evening, when they meet as
the main attraction of the Water
vile Winter Carnival program for

defeated this winter despite the fast
seXtets which the Waterville players
have met. In fact none of the OPP
ponents have been able to give the
Saints very much competition and
all of their wins have been decisive
Because of their record this winter
and the personal regulations of their
players who have all had a great
deal of experience, st. Jeans is ia
Vored to take the game. However,
Colby hopes to spring the greatest
surprise of the local athletic season
by taking the victory back to the
campus.
Colby has the best team that has
represented the college for a long
time and their showing against Bow
dom few days ago boosted their
stock very greatly. The Black and
White managed to win by a single
point but the Waterville boys were
in the game all the time and
threatened at all times. The game
between Colby and st. Jeans should
be one of the most interesting the
two teams have ever played, as both
squads are faster than last winter.
This will be the first of the series
which will be continued during the

French and British
Dates Conflict in
Playing Miss Wills

Paris, Jan. 15.-(AP)-Helen Wills,
trim. graceful, and recovered from the
effects of an 'atrocious" Atlantic
crossing, fitted through Paris today on
her way to the Riviera, having landed
from the liner De Grasse at Havre this
morning.
Americas woman tennis champion
remained in cold and dreary Paris for
only a few. hours, but her short stay
in the capital stirred French tennis
circles to its depths. revealing the
danger of a crisis in the tennis rela-
tions of France and England.
Carefree and happy over her depart
ure for warmer climes. Miss Wills left
for Cannes this evening blissfully I'M
conscious that she is the innocent
cause of an ultimatum sent to the
British tennis authorities by the
French tennis federation today.
Immediately after her official recep-
ton was finished at the Saint LaZaire
station, French tennis authorities ask
ed the American champion whether she
would enter the French hard court
championship tournament which will
open on June 2. Miss Wills replied that
she was very sorry but that she must
compete in the Wightman cup compe-
tition in England. Then it dawned on
the French officials that the dates for
the Wightman cup play conflicted
with their own hard court champion
ships and they hurriedly called a meet
ing this evening to discuss the matter.
This meeting drafted a letter to the
secretary of the British Tennis FEEDER
alton asking that the Wightman cup
dates either be advanced or postponed.
French officials expressed the opinion
that the conflict was only the result
of misunderstanding, but added that
the British federation was Informed
on November % of the dates selected
for the hard court championship and
only chose the Wightman dates on De-
cember 10.
I'VE sincerely hope that this is not q
challenge thrown at French tennis, -
the letter said.
Miss Wills spent the entire after
noon in her hotel, not even visiting
the shops. On account of the chill
Paris weather she decided to postpone
her shopping until she returns from
the Riviera. She said that her only
ambition just now was to get away
where she could enjoy something akin
to the California sunshine.
The American champion reiterated
her decision not to play in any tourna-
ment for at least two weeks and it is
practically certain that her first ap-
pearance will be in the Imperial Club
tournament at Nice February s. SUI
