Hanson Wins Corn Husking Title

st. Peter, Minn.-A stout young Tar.
mer from north Mankato won the
northwest corn husking championship
on the farm of A. ]. Nourie near Mic
ollet. In doing so he outscored a field
composed of IL county champions, he
turned back the invader from South
Dakota, and preserved the prestige of
his state; he obtained revenge on the
man who defeated him for the state
championship last year. Bert Hanson
of north Mankato is the northwest
cornhusking champion, and to gain the
title he shucked 1888 pounds of corn
In the 80 minutes allotted, nearly $50
pounds more than his closest COM
petitor.

28 Starters Probable
In $4,000 Handicap
In New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS, La, Feb. 16 o.
Campaigners for other years pre-.
dominate in the list of eligibles for
the $50, 900 new Orleans handicap to
be run at Playground track Friday.
Only thre-year -olds, possible Kentuc-
XIV derby contenders are among the %
considered as probable starters.
One six-year-old, 70 five and the
same number of fouryear- r-olds COM
plete the list.
The three year olds are Scotland, by
Light Brigade; Good Shepherd, by
Golden Bloom, and Jostice F., by
Abbots Trace. These comparative
youngsters, however, are running be-
hind Cannae, Broadway Jones and
Noah in the racing gossip among the
five -year-olds and King Nadi and Boon
Companion, four year olds. Cannae
negotiated the fastest mile and six
teenth of the meet in winning the Coli
scum purse yesterday. The horse, T..
Stube's candidate for the big purse,
covered the distance in 1:47.
Broadway Jones took slow work
out today, ambling mile in 14SS and
and mile and an eighth in 2:01.6. The
horse, an Idle Hour entry, will carry
1872 pounds, top weight of the race
Noah also has been placed among the
weight carriers in the race, only Broad
way Jones and King Nadi being given
heavier imposts. The son of Peter Pan
will carry 129 pounds in his first long
distance race. For two years, however,
Noah was the leading sprinter in Harry
Payne Whitneys stable before being
bought by Colonel p. T. Chinn.
Kink Nadi who has started only
once this season and on that occasion
failed to show, is being ranked high
! by track gossipers in spite of his past
performance. Troxter's horse will
carry 129 pounds in the handicap.

PUCILISM RULES
ARE FRAMED FOR
C0NCR ESS NJ E N

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is. P-The
house worked itself into serlo-
comic pugilistic mood today with
post mortem discussion of the three
recent congressional fist fights, but
the debate like the bouts went down
in the books as a mo decision" af-
fair.
The verbal lefts and rights precipi-
tated by presentation OF two pro-
posals for code of ethics for fu-
ture encounters, were only thinly
gloved with jocu1arity at times, and
at that resulted in a tentative agree
ment between Representatives Blan-
ton of Texas and Dickstein of New
York for meeting in the house gym
nasium. Potential spectators who
dogged the footsteps of the two all
afternoon, ready with the cry OF
fright fight," were disappointed
however, for nothing happened.
For time the chamber took on
free for all appearance which, al
though entirely vocal, would have
inspired the promoting instincts of
Tex Rickard.

Good Big Man Picked
To Beat Good Little
Man By Maloney F ans

NEW YORK, Feb. 16 P.-Tradi-
tional supremacy of the good big
man" cast it's shadow across the train
ing ground of Jack Delaney today as
he finished his final workout for Fri
days 100000 heavyweight battle at
Madison Square garden with Jim Ma
loney.
Pugilistic history has marshalled an
impressive chapter of records to sup
port the cause of Maloney. The tri-
umph of the good little man. has
been an exception ITO the rule. But
there have been departures, and among
them have been the sensational tri-
umphs of the 1S5-pound Jack Demp-
sey over huge Jess Willard and power
full Luis @Firpo.
Championship conflicts of the last
ten years were recalled by Maloney's
hackers tonight to justify their expec-
tations of Boston victory. Among
them were Johnny Kilbane's quick de-
feat by Benny Leonard, Leonard's sub
sequent reverse at the hands of Jack
Britton and Harry Grebs decisive VIC
tory over Mickey Walker.
The faith of Maloneys following
was not reflected in the betting odds
today, however. Sentiment swung
more sharply to Delaney, who jumped
from a 6-5 to an S-5 favorite. Money
also was wagered freely at one to two
that the light heavyweight champion
would knock out his heavier opponent.
Maloney's trainers have indicated
that the hub contender will wage the
typical battle of the ''big man" boring
in to the attack and using his 25-
pound weight advantage to wear down
Delaney in the clinches. He plans
rough two -fisted offensive and has
been concentrating on a right drive
over the heart as the punch on which
his hopes will be staked.
Contrasting sharply with Maloney,s
workouts against husky sparring part
ners, the Bridgeport boxer has played
for speed. His daily tune-up sessions
have been almost exclusively with
flashy welterweights. Critics expect
him to adopt a role of watchful waiting
Friday night, permitting Maloney to do
the leading and saving his terrific
right for countering thrusts.

Junior Class Will
Present Deacon
Dubbs March 4th

The junior class play, which has
been postponed several times be-
cause of conflicting date, will be
presented at the Grand theatre
March 4. The ticket sale has STARE
cd. The juniors have selected the
comedy, Deacon Dubbs," as the
vehicle for producing laughs and
from all reports this comedy is ad-
mirably adapted for high school stu
dents. There is laugh in every
line and when Yenny Yensen, the
Swedish girl, gets started she can
be depended upon to keep the house
in an uproar.
The cast has been working faith
fully and the parts have been well
learned A finished production is
expected.
Lee 3odenhammer, in a character
role, is said to have the ability to
convulse any audience. Other mem"
bers Of the cast are equally suited
to their parts. There are plenty Of
thrills from the first curtain to the
final scene, and every member helps
in the unravelling of the plot. 1t
is said to be play that the young
sters will enjoy as we'll as the old
folks and recollections of the old
days of the husking bees will be
brought vividly to mind.
The sale of reserved seats will
start next week. Exchange tickets
will be brought to the Owl Drug
store for reservations.

u. Of A. Tests Show
High Average for Boys
And Girls From Here

The complete tabulation of scores
made in the recent intelligence tests
at the University of Arizona for
freshmen students shows that the
Douglas contingent holds first place.
and some very acceptable scores were
mad ) by the boys and girls now reg
istered at u. of A. from last years
graduation class of Douglas high
Daniel Matson made the highest
score of the Douglas high school
group with an average of 283. Isa-
dore Kline received 244; George Dave
23S; Margaret Doty 221, and Stuart
Krentz 212.
Scores for other students were:
Howard Wittig, 1873; Herbert Bishop,
1874; Joe Magee, 176; Paul. Taylor, 173;
Wiley Langston, 159; Ruby Hilburn,
IA; Levin Osel1, 1873.
University officials state that 156
is the mean average score and that
any score above 200 is considered
very good. Scores above ESQ are ex-
ceptional, and only few university
students are capable of making such
a grade.
The scores made by students are
kept on file at the registrars office
and efforts are being made to COM
pare the intelligence grade with the
achievement grade. Sometimes there
is direct relation and many in
stances show no relation.
Daniel Matson, whose record was
exceptional in this test, made gooc
marks for the first semester, show
ing that intelligence and achievement
have a definite relationship.

CLIMAX OF CAGE
SEASON SET FOR
FRIDAY NIGHT

Douglas sport fans are anxiously
awaiting the whistle that will bring
together two Of the fastest teams of
the state Friday night for the final
clash in oasketball-the Douglas and
Bisbee high school quintets. Two regu-
lar hair raising games will be played
the first event being between the
second teams of the two schools and
will be none the less interesting as
the Bull Pups and kittens are cap
able of staging a real battle. At
Bisbee q month ago the Kittens
won out 1916 by staging last
minute rally The Bull Pups are
cider and more experienced now
and are anxious to retrieve lost
honors and will put forth every eff
fort to trim the Bisbee aggregation.
The main event which will starr
at o'clock is between the regular
teams of the two schools. The game
will have a direct bearing on the
southern Arizona championship
Douglas holds the lead and needs Il
victory over Bisbee to clinch the
southern hoop honors fer the season,
Tucson is runner-up and will be
tangling with Nogales Apaches the
same night.
The Nogales team trimmed Bisbeo
twice this season and Douglas took
the Noga1es quintet down the line
twice so the odds are in ravor OF
Douglas when the Pumas meet here
tomorrow night.
Sometimes the dope bucket is up
set and that is what the local team
will try to prevent as the cham
pionship will be lost if Bisbee wins
The Bisbee team won against
douglas in Bisbee a month ago by
a decisive score of 25 to 13. Until
the final quarter the score was
I15-13, so the final quarter proved
the undoing of the Bulldogs. A
spirited rally could not be halted.
A record crowd is planning on be
ing present to close the season with
a Bulldog victory. Walter Davis,
coach of basketball at the University
of Arizona has been secured as
referee and is one of the most cap"
able officials in the state. He Of

TUNE-1N on this little talk about a home
made cigarette in which you play the
leading role. (That has all the ear-marks
of pun, but I'm perfectly serious.)
Here's the low-down: First you get some
Prince Albert and the makin's papers.
Then you put pinch Of P. A. in paper
and roll.
When you get that fragrance of good
old P. A, you can hardly wait to taste
cigarette made with that kind of tobacco.
Then you light up. You are not dis
appointed. Tn fact, it tastes better than
you dared hope. Cool as rain. Sweet
as maple sap. Mild as milk, but with
plenty Of 'Sbody.''
