Jeffries had fought just II pro-
fessional fights, including sizzling
20-round draws with Gus Ruhlin

New York engagement in which
he was to have boxed 20 rounds,
10 against George Armstrong and
10 against Steve O'Donnell, called
the Professor"
He went the 10 rounds with
Armstrong amid boos and laugh
ter mingled with expressions of
contempt by the audience. His
match with O'Connell was can
celed because of a broken thumb,
alleged to have been suffered
when he hit Armstrong on the
head.
But Jeffries got the match
with Fitzsimmons all right and
won by knockout in II rounds.
Louis probably is as good a
fighter as Jeffries was at cor

His experience is about the same

none Of the modern heavyweigntS

Big Enough for Best
Louis is big enough to cope

From then on it was diff

the satisfaction of showing
Washington that Tow was the

George P. Marshall, president
Of the Boston Redskins, offered
Harlow what was tantamount to
a gift of $4,000 in Redskin
stock and a salary in five fig
ures to take over the coaching
duties Of the Boston professional
team.
internationally known as an
ornithologiSt, and as well, as a
botanist, Harlow is not a career"
or high-powered coach, claims to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
Produces Teams
Time and again, at Western
Maryland, Harlow has delivered a
team which proved outstanding
in its class. This year gone oy,
with only 16 players capable Of
even second-grade football, Dick
turned out an eleven which many
critics figured among the first 10
teams of the nation.
Western Maryland officials, it
is known, recently have been
pressing him to sign a new con-
tract at the Green Terror lnstitu-
tion. However, Dick hesitated to
do so, and then, suddenly, came
the Harvard offer.
More than likely, Dick will go
to Cambridge without a contract.
Harvard's policy is to engage
coaches on a permanent basis
without contract for year.
around duty.
The appointment of Harlow to
the Harvard position is a terrific
blow to Western Maryland. Up at
Westminster it was figured that
Dick was as much a part of the
institution as President Ward or
any of the older professors.
Harlow played his football at
Penn State from 1908 to 1911.
In 1912 he took his degree of
Bachelor of Science. In his Sc
nior year he won All-America
honors as a tackle.
Blocks II Punts
That year he blocked II punts
in 7 games. Dick also was we'll
known as boxer, basketball
player and track and field man.
He became head coach of Penn
State in 1912 and continued as
such until 1921, when he went to
Colgate. He was at Colgate for
five years. In 1925 he came to
Westminster to take over the
duties of director of athletics and
head coach of all sports at West
ern Maryland.
One of footballs ablest strate-
gistS, and noted for his equable
temperament, Dick Harlow also
is one of the most admired, re-
Spected and loved men in college
athletics. 1t is said of him that
he never lost a friend. probably
the greatest compliment which
may be paid a man.

And has done right nicely.
Last year after buzzing around
like a swarm of young bees in q
tulip field, making preparations
for staging the first event, Davis
peeled off his coat, rolled up his
sleeves and proceeded to show the
boys from the provinces how you
really play this yere darn bowlin'
game, by leading the field home.
He came from behind to do it,
too.
This years event will be an ex-
act duplicate of last years as to
entry fee, number of games and
other conditions. The entry fee
is again five Simoleons, including
games, and the distance 10 games
rolled in five game blocks on two
successive Saturdays.
While Gait is secretly hopeful
Of defending his laurels, he scans
the prospective entry list anx-
iously, for he sees more than one
threat to his supremacy among
them.
Two StandOut Threats
Not the least of these are Russ
Spillman and Thurston Furr, who
finished second and third, reSpec-
lively, last year. Spillman is a
bowler capable of Shattering
worlds records on occasions and
he often makes a "heavy sugar"
event such an occasion.
Furr is a long-tried performer
and is sure to give a good &C
count Of himself, come rain or
shine. The bowler who beats him
will have to be right on his game.
AS Gait reads further down the
list, the chance of retaining his
laurels grows DINNER and dim
mer, though not until he is hope
lessly out of running (and that
may not be until the last box
is completely will that Davis boy
give up. He isn't built that
way.
Anyhow, here's the kind of
opposition Davis may have to
buck up against Saturday.

New Low Intelligence
If you listen to those who
have attempted fight promo
tlons here, the crowds have
been so mediocre that two pro-
moters have withdrawn profit
less from the picture, and the
third has reorganized to such
an extent that he has been
fortunate enough to find
matchmaker sufficiently simple
minded to assume all financial
responsibilities for him.
Seriously, that is a new low
In intelligence, even in the fis-
tic fraternity, a matchmaker
with so much hot, throbbing
fight racket blood coursing
through his veins as to promise
to pay off all debts and split
any profits with another, just
in order to get finger in his
strongest weakness - tis tic
speculation.
And yet a second domestic
battler, a heavyweight, Bobby

over the 18-hole route. After these
close calls Bobby and his Boswell,
the far-famed o. B. Keeler, argued
for SO holes in championship
play.
Most amateurs agree the 18-
hole route is the correct one.
More than three hours Of sus-
tanned concentration actually
does impose an unfair burden
upon a competitor whose liveli-
hood is not derived from golf.
Further, if a youngster, an un-

others struggling up the ladder
