this town to Ashland, and again
along the So 1-2 mile trek over the
Sanwich mountains into North Con-
way. But Seppala made his bid and
earned his victory on the last 1G
miles today. Giving his little ST.
herian malemutes their heads and
bringing into play the knowledge
gained from ownership of more than
1000 dogs, the man who raced a
diphtheria epidemic to Nome tw,
years ago brought his full team Of
seven dogs into Wolfeboro from
North Conway in three hours 56 min

than st. Goddard could urge the
greyhound husky team that had
brought him three victories in the
annual derby at The Pas. The
young Canadians final time was 12

Twenty five minutes five seconds
behind Seppala was Francois Du"
puis, soldier light-keeper and dog
raiser extraordinary from Quebec.
Dupuis had led the entire field for
two days but his seven giant mon
grels wilted under the pace set and
cnly five were left to pull his sleigh
home today.
Fourth place went to Hiram Ma
son of Tamworth, N. H., while the
fifth position, carrying the last of
the money prizes, was taken by
Theodore Kingeak, Seppala's Eskimo
Helper. Kingeak, driving the Alas

DOUGLAS BOY
LIGHTWEIGHT
STATE CHAMP

Newspapers throughout the state are
hailing Tommy Ellxs, sterling Douglas
fighter, as the lightweight champion
of Arizona because of the remarkable
victory over Shamus O'Brien at Phoe-
nix Friday night. Elks' victory, while
unexpected was clean cut and un-
doubtedly places him at the head OF
the list of lightweights in the state
The bout, scheduled for 10 rounds,
lasted only two Ellls knocked O'Brien
down four times in the second round
once sending him through the ropes
and out of the ring. O'Brien clung des-
perately to the ropes, trying to over
come his grogginess, but was unable
to weather the storm of gloves that
Elks showed.
Elks has always been recognized as
fast, clever boxer, but it was only
recently that his work began to exhibit
championship class. No announcement
from him was available Saturday, but
it is probable that his victory over
O'Brien Friday night will mean num-
Der of other high-class matches in the
near future.

RIOT FOLLOWS
CELEBRATION
AT HARVARD

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Feb. 12 P.-
The Cambridge police and Harvard
students were counting the cost tonight
while the courts and university Off
cials withheld decision of a midnight
vaudeville show which for no reason at
all became a riot in Harvard square
early today and sent seven to hospitals
and Al to court
The casualties were not severe and
had been reduced tonight to aching
heads and bruised bodies. The police
spoke of the melee, which called out all
their night reserves, without vindic-
tiveness, and lower bail than usual in
such cases was permitted most of those
arrested. Undergraduate opinion,
however was not quieted and blamed
the police for precipitating what was
originally a rough and noisy demon
stration into serious combat.
The police today blamed the late
"stag smoker" in the theatre bordering
the square for heating the student
spirit 1t was at the close of the
vaudeville performance, which had
been subjected to some Interruptions
by the audience, that the trouble
started. Patrolman James Prior at
tempted quiet dispersal Of the crowd.
He was roughly, although apparently
good naturedly handled. A patrol
wagon rescued him and then four pat
rolls, loaded with the reserves of four
stations, descended on the square. The
students say that it was at this point
that Arthur e. French, Jr., of Win
chester, president of the senior class
and a football player, who saved the
day for Harvard in the last game
against Dartmouth, mounted taxicab
and tried to calm the students. They
also say that he was unceremoniously
arrested and that it was this as much
as anything which turned the crowd
from fun to serious opposition to the
police.
Police clubs opposed student fists,
and at times the latter had the better
of it. The patrol wagons were used
as tanks to break up the milling mol
into sections, which the police beat
back toward the gates of the yard. The
students, however, surged back into
the square through another gate The
wagon loads of prisoners filled the
nearest police station and overflowedl
into the next. Five students, civilian
ands an officer were treatedgat hospitals
