BASKETBALL OFF
FOR GOOD YEAR;
PROMISING QUINT

The sophomore hoop artists upset
the "dope bucket" in The inter-class
tourney yesterday afternoon by
trouncing the seniors % to II in a
fast game. Negri, Young and Evans
of the second year team scintillated
throughout the play while Miller,
Cummins, Sanders and Cary played
well for the losers.
The Sophs, led by the spectacular
playing of Negri, took firm lead
early in the game and steadily check
ed the determined drive of the upper
classmen.
Coach Warren is well pleased with
the showing of the casaba tossers
in this tourney and will let the axe
fall on the squad early next week
so as to give major attention to
developing a strong quintet for the
opening games of the southern con-
ference. The conference opens after
the holidays but game with the
strong Superior quintet is slated for
December 80 and another game on
December % will probably open the
season here.

ference basketball title last year with

FASTEST BOXER
OF ALL TIM E
is COUNTED OUT

NEW YORK, Dec Z, R-"The
fastest and most perplexing boxer
who ever performed under the
Queensbury rules" is dead, an appar-
ent victim Of his own and Broad
ways indulgence. The late veteran
referee, Charlie White is authority
for the rating.
Thirty years ago Young Griffo"
fought the pick of the nations feath-
erweights at 126 pounds, to be hailed
as title contender and one of the
fastest boxers in the ring. Today he
dragged his 200 pound body from a
rent-free west side basement room to
die in the hallway before medical
aid could reach him.
Born Sc years ago as Alfred Grif-
fifth in Sydney, Australia, Young
Critic came to this country in 1898
after reaching the peak in the Aus
tralian boxing world. He fought as
a featherweight and lightweight, with
most of his best battles ending in
draws against such men as Joe
Cans, Young Scotty, George Dixon,
Jack McAuliffe and George Mesnnic.
He was rich insofar as purses of
that day went, but his worldly goods
today consisted of the clothes he
died in More than once his trainer
discovered him in bar with barely
time to reach the ring on foot in a
race that was both a SOLDERING up
and training stunt. Most of the
purse money later went for celebra-
tionS "for the house."
Griffo's ability to stand on a hand
kerchief and keep his head clear
from blows held him to the ring
until 1897 and later served to win
him food and drink when increas-
ing weight pushed him off the can
vas.

entertained the diners very much.
Much discussion was had on the
subject of caddy training or develop

this year at the club. The project
to establish a drinking fountain at

An indoor ball contest was held in
which a five-man team captained by
Gerald Sherman won the match and
each member of the team was award
ed a golf ball as his share of the
spoils. The winning team were Ger
aid Sherman, Jack Davis, James
