A USTRALIA has had many good
IA heavyweights, but none who
equaled the prowess of Bob Fftz-
simmons and Peter Jackson, both
adopted sons Of the Antipodes. Bill
Lang, Dan Creedon and others tried
to emulate these great warriors, but
fell far below the mark.
Bill Lang, who engaged Bob Fitz-
simmons in the freckled fighters
last bout to a decision prior to Fits
retirement, is living in Melbourne.
where he is publican. He and
Fitz fought at Sydney on December
27, 1909, and Bob was knocked out
in the twelfth round.
Occasionally Lang has been drafted
to referee fights, and as third man in
the ring has been exceptionally sue
cessful. He is rated one of Aus
tralia's leading officials His place Of
business is the rendezvous of Mel
Dournes leading sportsmen. Bill
has just reached his fiftieth mile
stone.
Lang's family name is William
Lanfranchi. He was born at Mel
bourne on July 8, 1888, and during
his fighting days scaled about 1872
pounds and stood 6 feet "a inches
He is one of the few members Of
the Antipodean fistic colony who
never fought out of his native land.

INVASION OF EAST
Pitt Not Likely to Trouble
Irish-Purdue Will Show

BY DR.. c. w. SPEARS,
Head Coach, Wisconsin.

NJ ADISON, Wis, October 28.-
M Tomorrow might we'll be
" i called "intersectional day.
for the Middle West, as
several of the teams in this re-
gion are engaging in strong in
tersectional rivalry at this juno
ture.
The outstanding attraction will be
Notre Danes jaunt to Pittsburgh to
play the Pittsburgh team which is
1auded as one of the outstanding teams
of the East. While many are rating it
as potential National champion. Pitts
burgh did not show this much class
against Ohio State, but it must be
borne in mind that Pittsburgh had a
severe battle against a great Army team
the week before
This years Pittsburgh team is the
smallest Jock Sutherland has had dur
ing his sojourn there. Pittsburgh lost
q great center in Tormley, but has a
great back in Heller who really can
pass. Capt. Reider weighs less than 100
pounds. In neither the Army game nor
that with Ohio State was he able to
last complete half.
A1OTRE DAME Will not have a great
~ deal of trouble with Pittsburgh and
look tor the South Benders to
win by three touchdowns. as they are
too fast and too powerful and have
too much offense and too much re-
serve power for the Pittsburgh Panthers
Moreover. Pittsburgh had an extremely
hard game against the Army followed
by a 90 game in which Ohio State
played the Panthers off their feet dur
ing the second half.
Purdue, one of the outstanding teams
Of the Western Conference, moves to
New York City to upheld the prestige of
the Middle West against N. Y. u, which
seems to be just about an average team
this year. Purdue should prove a
great attraction for the public in New
York City as it will see set of backs
that rivals the -four horsemen" in
action. I believe Purdue will win with
out too much of struggle.
Michigan is playing the second game
OF series with Princeton this week.
This game will be interesting because
Coach Fritz Crisler. Tad Wieman, who
Is helping him with the line. and Earl
Martineau with the backfeld are all
Western Conference products 1t does
not seem as though Princeton carries
enough threat to bother Michigan. I
believe the Tiger will have hard time
holding Michigan to anything less than
three touchdoWns
FRIDAY night Detroit University
l. plays Georgetown in an intersec-
tional contest. Georgetown does
not appear to be as strong this year as

close game.

lied.
Russo still insisted that he
wasn't sure what the cases con-
tanned, even after his car had
broken down, and he had to un-
load and reload.

Hugh Gibson States Aims to
Geneva ParIey and Is
AppIauded

GENEVA, April II (I.N.S.).
Abolition of all tanks, mobile
artillery over six inches in
caliber and of all forms of
gases was proposed by the
United States when the Dis
armament Conference recon-
vened here today after the
Easter holidays.
Hugh S. Gibson, American am
baSsador to Belgium, and acting
head of the United States delega-
ton, made the proposal in a
formal resolution he put before
the conference.
The United States position on
limitation Of bombing planes will
be made known later, Gibson said.
Invasion, U. S. Fear
Before presenting his proposals,
which we're literally applauded,
the American ambassador re-
marked that it was the fear Of in
vasion that was the real cause of
a feeling of insecurity.
The principal obstacle in the
way of disarmament, Gibson said,
is the feeling by some nations
that their security is menaced by
their neighbors.
Evil Alternative
Such being the case, he con.
tinued, the abolition of purely
aggressive weapons would tend
to decrease these fears and pro-
mote a feeling of security. He
declared:
'If we fail to agree upon
drastic measures Of reduction
and even abolition we must re-
aliZe that the world will inevi.
tably embark upon a race in
armamentS the disastrous re-
suits Of which no man can fore.
see. Justification for failure to
agree is hard to find, for If
everybody does away with these
weapons we shall all gain TO-
gether."
