 AS for the democratic faction in town, it is not expected that thcro will be any stir until the election day.

the defeat of Notre Dame by Car

versity of California regime in Pa
cific Coast football; the defeat of
Bobby Jones in the American
amateur golf championship.
Walter Hagen's victory in the pro-
fessional golfers championship and
the success of the American team in
defending the Davis Cup against
France were two of the few per-
fomances that ran according to
schedule.
Considering. however, what the
French players did to the Americans
in the national championships it
might be recorded as a surprise that
the Americans won the Davis Cup.
From financial point of view
and from general interest shown,
the outstanding events of the year
were the heavyweight championship
fight between Jack Dempsey and
Gene Tunney; the Army-Navy foot
ball game in Chicago and the worlds
series games in st. Louis.
The big fight drew 1890 specta-

the Army-Navy game drew 10000
spectators and $1,OO0,O0O. The game
between Ohio State and Michigan
drew 1000.
