Cop Hops on Cop

It seems that uniformed Of
ficer, not recognizing a plain
clothesman, started to usher
him out of the ring. Why it
was necessary for either Of
them to be in the ring has never
been explained.
Certainly the wrestlers know
their way around the arena In
which they work. There was no
need of a traffic supervisor. No
fans were in the ring, and
therefore unless an arrest Of a
wrestler or a manager or a pro-
moter was anticipated, what
was the need of blue-coat up
on the raised platform? The
minute he did get up there, the
fans, trying to get out of the
park, thought there was some
excitement to be seen and in
stead of going on their way,
they foregathered around the
ring to see the fun"
So, if the John Laws will keep
their feet on the ground TO-
night, there should be no un-
toward developments.
Regardless of what the fans
think, Londos did not use an
unfair hold on Dusek last
month. This fact has been es-
:ablished by the National Box
ing Association and it has
practically been admitted by
Dusek, who didn't claim a
strangle was used on him, but
who did claim that a hold
equally as devastating to his
vitality was applied.

CLEVELAND, April 27.-Elderly men
who hear all the talk about the young
fellow being superior in ability can
mark up q point for their side.
Under a grant from the Carnegie
Foundation, Leland Stanford Junior
University set to work recently making
a comparison between the capacities of
young end old persons. Keith Sward,
assistant professor of psychology at
Western Reserve University. participant
ing in this research, made COMPARE
son between young and elderly profess
sors at two of the leading Pacific Coast
colleges, using intelligence tests.
The young and old scored In the
tests Just about equally. he declared.
The young were little more speedy.
Age, however, did not impair quality
and accuracy The younger men were
surpassed in their knowledge of vocab-
ulary, indicating that in addition to
we'll preserved minds their elders had
experience on their side.
Prof Sward examined two groups, IS
men In each In one group, ages ranged
from IS to As and in the other from
so to 80.
Intelligence Test Used.
He used an intelligence test devised
for superior adults, in collaboration
with Or. L. NJ Terman, author Of the
Stanford Revision Of the Famous Binet

Answers to some Of the questions re-
uuired a limited time, while other cues
tons were power tests to indicate
thought depth.
Some Of the questions were like this:
"a is stronger than B, and A can lift
as much as c and D together. and G
is weaker than d. Is B stronger than
CT" There were sentences with vo-
cabulary in artificial Language, like this.
to translate: "Ad lobana fregl pristef."
The vocabulary test had words like
these: "Insouciant, absterge. apopem-
tic. sciclist, sapid end manumit."
THE older men were slowed down"
Prof Sward said, "but their age did
not seem greatly to impair the quality
and accuracy Of their work. We found
greater difference between members Of
