You have read much in the
prints recently of companionate
marriages and eugenic offspring
and other new-fangled twists on
world-old topics, but you are
probably little prepared to read
Of similar revolutionary methods
in the sporting whir, particu-
larly that part of it which has

Gene Tunney, the reader and
the thinker, is reported to have
thought of new process of con-
ditioning champions for forth
coming fights, and if grapevine

"companionate fighting"

toners. He is said to realize
quite fully that the lay-off of
one year between his two meet

sponsible for that poor seventh

came very near being the VIC

This is believed to be the
last word in getting ready to

to bring the contestant up to
