DEFEAT MEANS DADDY

BY the Associated Press
GLASGOW, Scotland, January 22.-
Elky Clarks wife sat up all last night
to hear about his fight with Ffdel La
Barba in New York. and received
word soon after daylight that he
had lost.
When it came she called her four
children for breakfast and told them
with smiling face that daddy would
soon be home again.
But after their tea, oatmeal and
cakes-the cakes being ordered in an
ticipation of Elky's victory--she went
to her room and had good cry.
Litter she told the neighbors she
knew Elky had done his best and
that there was still a lot of fight
In him.
But. If. worse came to worst, she
said, Elky could go back to his job as
a riveter or play the accordion, as he
did five years ago before he entered
the ring.

r Y UNIVERSITY or North caro-
lima and North Carolina State
College seem to have two of
~ the strongest basket ball
teams in the South. Both
have not only been winning consist
emily from auints in this section, but
no FIVE from another section has been
able to dent their excellent records.
Farther South it seems that Missis-
sippi A. and NJ. and Georgia are
among the leaders, but the latter fell
before North Carolina the other night.
Last year North Carolina won the
Southern Conference championship
in the tournament at Atlanta, while
North Carolina State came with a
rush toward the end of the season.
In fact. in the closing days Of the
regular schedule North Carolina State
walloped North Carolina decisively.
North Carolina lost several good men
from the 1925 team by graduation.
but these losses seem to have been
replaced.
Coach Stegeman of Georgia says
that North Carolina is fully as good
al it was a year ago, If not better.
Coach Tebell OF North Carolina State
said during the foot ball season: We
expect to have the best basket ball
team in our history this season"
In the tournament at Atlanta last
year the Mississippi A. and NJ five
went through to the final contest and
then met its Waterloo at the hands
of North Carolina. Mississippi A.
and NJ. seems always to have q strong
five and probably will be battling
down to the last ditch in the tourna-
ment to be held the latter part of
February.
Washington and Lee and v. NJ. J..
do not seem to be as strong as a
year ago and certainly Virginia and
Maryland are not. At least, they
have not been winning so consistently.
Virginia Polytechnic Institute seems
to have about the same kind of a
team.
The Southern Conference tourna-
ment. according to Coach Stegeman
of Georgia. who, by the way, is chair
man of the committee which has the
tournament I'm charge, viii be even
more successful than it was year
ago. It is expected that practically
all teams of any strength at all will
take part and there always has been
considerable public interest displayed.

likely by any means.
Midyear examinations will knock
the spots off the basket ball schedules
for local colleges this week. There is
going to be little time for anything
other than to pass the tests. and espe-
cially is this true of the athletes who
give a good deal of time to sports.

If were asked to name the best
liked individual in the American
League. I wouldn't be far wrong If
l said kid Gleason.
Bill Gleason was a pitcher on the
famous Baltimore Orioles. a team

inson, Hugh Jennings. Joe Kelly and
Jack Doyle. Later on he was a sec
ond baseman. a good one, too. and
while his skill afleld made him a
worthy associate of, the remarkable
group ! have named above, 1t was
his remarkable personality that made
the Kid stand out.
Bill occupies the same position
among the good fellows of base ball
that Ruth does among the sluggers
or Speaker among the outfielders. A
square shooter and true friend is Bill
the Kid"
When during the series with Cincin-
natl in 1919, we began to suspect that
all was not right, we had at first to
dismiss those thoughts. for it was i'm
possible to believe that any member
of the team or OF any other team
that he might be managing could
throw him down. Bill would have
given his right arm to help any one
would have made the, sacrifice with
a smile.
Big Shock to the kid"

to the kid and nearly wrecked him
physically, though he did not break
down for a year or more after the
expose. But, boys. he's back. That

surprised that more of them do not
take to heart several prominent and

Jimmy Austin.
Unbounded enthusiasm for his job
