Ahearn would not suggest IL

II agree with your statement
that pound for pound you will

II recall a night about 10
years ago when the soldiers of
SchOfield Barracks engaged the
sailors of the Pearl HarbOr base
in a boxing tournament at Pearl
HarbOr. Our two best fighters
were Sergt. Sammy Baker-re-
member Sammy?-and a fellow
named Patti.
patti fought Filipino named
Garcia, and a lot of money was
bet. 1 had SIS riding on Patti.
A Naval officer was refereeing.
For six rounds Patti battered
the little brown boy all over the
ring, but couldn't knock him out,
although the soldier carried
dynamite in both fists. At the
end of the slaughter the bout
was called a draw. e.
Then things began to hap
pen. A bottle flew through the
air at a sailor who attempted to
auelI the disorder. 1t looked
bad when Rear Admiral McDOn-
aid ordered the band to play
the Star Spangled Banner. and
that brought every man to at,
tention. The bouts were de-
clared off and the soldiers
marched out of the building.
The sailors left later, and no
further disorder marked the
night. / wonder if there are
any former service men around
Washington who were in Pearl
HarbOr that night?"
If any of the boys were around
they might get together and live
the old days over again.

GAME CLOSES

1884

The German-American team, not
satisfied with the way in which
they won their Christmas Day en-
counter with the British United
Soccer Club. play a return engage
ment with that team tomorrow at
2 p. m. sharp at Benning Field,
the home ground of the Germans.
Stars to Return
The Britishers not at full
strength last week will be boil
stored by the return Of Malloch
and Turner in the lineup. The
Germans will no doubt fortify
their left wing which was ex-
tremely weak Christmas Day and
which the Britishers capitalized
to their advantage throughout
the game.
The Britishers will meet sterner
opposition than in their last en-
counter due to the fact that the
Teutons are tough customers to
beat on their nome ground. Inc
Britishers are aware Of this and
will be at full strength.
Teams Drilled Hard
The managers of both teams
have been hard at work in choos-
ing their teams so that the soccer
minded fans Of the District might
be given the outstanding soccer
game of 1884. Both teams have
been training for this game, and,
by all signs, the game should prove
to be an Al soccer encounter.
The British line will be from
Baker, Graham. Burton, Craig,
Grosart, O'Mayers. Boyd, Turner,

family didn't have any money,
but it had hope. Surely the
father, who had been sick so
long and was so tired, would
get we'll in this fine, sunny
climate.
For the first time in his
short, hard-working career, little
Gene Lawrence had an easy,
outdoor job. The doctor had
told him that if he could find
some work to do in Florida
over the winter months, that
he might beat "the rap"
Through kindness of Carl Byoir
and Gerry Swinehart. he had
founa the job made to order.
All he had to do was to check
the golfers and swimmers and
tennis players at their winter
play and report their activities.
Why. it was going to be the
happieSt Christmas Gene Law
renee and his little brood had
ever known. What if it had
taken the last cent they had in
the world to get to Florida?
There they all were together in
that tropic playland, and
wouldn't daddy look funny try
ing to play Santa Claus in a
straw hat?
Waited Too Long
But daddy had waited too
long. He had sat too many days
and too many nights hunched
over a copy desk, running galley
proofs in and out of the compos-
ing room, trying to make a din
ner off a doughnut and a muddy
cup Of coffee, while the leased
wires plead for more news, and
more news, and more news. and
make it snappy, kid, make it

No time to think then about
that pain in his chest. He'd
get around to that one Of these
days. There was still plenty of
time. He was only 90. A fel.

at 20, did it?
The answer was that it did.
The minute he turned to face
and wrestle with it, death
touched him on the shoulder.

stopped. Who better than us, the
people in the stands, can stop
these dreadful practices which
threaten to undermine the very
foundations of clean sport?
The purpose of our great organ
ization should be Cd refuse to
permit drunken spectator to sit
in his or her seat at a college foot
ball game, and (2) eject from the
stands those who annoy their
neighbors by drunken comment OF
offers to wager on the outcome
of the game.
No Jurisdiction
Members of our organization
should remember at all times that
we are to have no jurisdiction
over punch.drunk athletes on the
field of play. Coaches will tend
to that matter.
1t should not alone be our duty
as members of the A. C. F. S. A.
of T. P. and P. M. to permit foot
ball coaches to educate us. but
we must also let them protect us
while we are their guests at col
lege football games. The con-
tinued welfare of the coaches de-
pends upon their ability to do
something about curbing the in
crease in excessive drinking and
gambling among us people in the
stands, and who are we that we
should turn down such a generous
offer as the coaches have made to
us in this matter of educating us
away from the sins of excessive
drinking and gambling?
Why. we only pay our way into
the games. that's all-that is, all
except these of us who enjoy
press box privileges. and We'll see
to it in the press box that there
is a lot of drinking or no drink
ing at all in our sanctum sane
forum. or whatever it is they call
a press box.
Several Facts
Now, there are several col
legiate facts which we spectators
should keep in mind at all times.
They are:
/. Not one athlete on the field
is subsidized. that is. by a flat
subsidy. Flat" subsidies are for
hidden by the National Collegiate
Athletic Associations nine-point
code, and what coach would so
far forget himself as to go in for
flat subsidies when round ones,
such as oranges, apples and bank
rolls will do just as well.
2. Not one athlete on the field
of play is receiving higher wages
than any other student receives,
even if the latter does shovel
coal into collegiate furnaces
while the athlete rings the
chapel bell.
3. Not one athlete has received
advanced payment for work to
be done at some time in the tu-
ture.
4. Not one athlete has been
loaned money for remitting fees
because he is an athlete.
S. Not one athlete on the field
of play was interviewed in his
home town prior to matriculation
at dear old Whosis.
