DELANEY TO AWAIT
OUTDOOR CAMPAIGN
BY FAIRPIAY.

NEW YORK. February 24.-Jack
Delaney is due to drop out of the pie
ture the remainder of the Winter. But
he will be back in time to make q dent
in the outdoor season.
In his behalf ii might be said it is
now generally recognized by fans who
know something about the sport that
Delaney is capable of much better
battle than he showed againgst Jim
Maloney.
Undoubtedly the illness of his wife
caused him to work under a serious
mental handicap. lie knew all about
this prior 10 the fight and 1t would
have been better for him to have de-
manded a postponement, which would
readily have been granted.
But the trouble was that the bally-
hoo had gone so far and public in
terest had been worked up to a degree
so great that the cupidity of all con
cerned probably did not admit of O.
postponement.
Whether or not Delaney at his best
would have been able to prod so big
and strong n lad as Maloney out of
the picture Is highly doubtful. But 1t
does seem certain that he would have
put up much better fight than he
did.
From Australia comes word that
Tiger Jack Payne, all American
fighter. beat George Thompson for the
heavyweight championship OF that
country.
Payne took trip to the Antipodes
as a sparring partner of Sunny Jim
Williams and Ansell Bell. Now it
would seem that the loWly sparring
partner had outstripped the men to
whom he was supposed TO play second
fiddle. George Cook, who sojourned
in this country for while and could
do nothing with American heavies. Is
next in line for Payne. The two will
fight a 20-round bout with the title at

of the program prepared for Swine

Friday, October 81. He will speak on
"Some Hog Feeding Results in Mis-

the use of different protein supple

feeding of soy beans, and the 'hog-
ging down" of corn. Prof. Weaver
has been the swine specialist with
the animal husbandry department at
Missouri for many years and is held
in high regard as an authority on
methods and practices of successful
swine production. Farmers who at
tend the exercises of Swine Feeders
Day will also have opportunity to
hear Andrew Boss of the Minnesota
Experiment Station analyze "The
Place of Hog Production in Mime

will agree that this will be well
worth hearing. The addresses viii

THROUGH GLASS TO PERMIT
STUDY BY STUDENTS; INVEST
MENT TOTALS ABOUT $4,000.

For use by it's engineering school
in their detailed study of the design,
construction and operation of the
most modern of automobiles, the Cad
lilac Motor Car Company has pre-
scented cut-open chassis to the Uni
versity of Minnesota. This is one of
six similar chassis which have been
presented to institutions of learning
and research in the United States and
abroad for similar purposes. The
chassis was presented by C. E. Frib-
ley and C. R. Kirkpatrick, represen-
tatives of the Cadillas company and
received for the University by Presi-
dent Coffman, and by Dean Leland
of the engineering school.
This engineers masterpiece rep
resents an investment said to total
approximately $4,000. The frame is
finished in Duco and steel parts are
either nickel-plated or lightly pol
ished. The entire chassis is cut open
so as to show the construction of ev-
cry part. With the cylinder walls
cut away to show the workings of
pistons and connecting rods, with
plate glass revealing the crankshaft
and camshafts, with the transmission,
glass covered, revealing the ring and
pinion gears and with the entire chas-
sis with small electric lights, the car
is operated through a storage bat
terry, showing the workings of all of
these parts.
This chassis will be assigned to the
automobile laboratory of the engi-
neering school and used for instruc-
ton purposes. 1t is now on display
in the lobby of the engineering school
and will remain there for several
weeks.-M Minneapolis Journal.
