fSCHTERS MUST BE"GENTLEMEN" Gilltom Says Dempsey And Wills Will Break State l aw If They “Slug” Indiana polls, Nov. 19. •» (Vnltftd Prctui) - Jack thnipsey, heavyweight champion may meet Harry Wills, negro tontender, in Michigan City next fall—if neither forgets he is a "gentleman” engaged in an exhibition bout, lint if either of the "gentleman" forgets that he is merely displaying the gentle art of fisticuffs and slugs the other for a short slumber, they are not ••gentleman" but merely lawbreakers ami will be charged with violating an Indiana statute. This was the opinion handed to Governor Jackson by Attorney General Crllliont today on the subject of Ihe proposed Dempsey-Wills fracas in Floyd Fitzsimmons' arena. Gilliom gave an extensive definition of the term, "prize fight” which practically prohibits the two meeting in thfS s; i l the purpose of collecting and dividing tile small sum of a million or so dollars. If either of the contestants attempts to assert his "sujiremacy” over the other, it will pass out of the exhibition class into the "prize fight” group and the principals in the matter will be haled into court, Gilliom said. —-- Indiana And Purdue To Meet’ For 26th Time Bloomington, Ind., Nov. 19. —Rain, snow, hail storm, sunshine or cloud burst, Indiana and Purdue will clash for the twenty-sixth time Saturday afternoon in the dedicatory game of the new Indiana University memorial stadium. Purdue with its band of football .players, commonly known around /he conference as Boilermakers, will invade the Crimson camp with the expectation of using their hammers to pound down the line crushing of Captain Larry Marks, Salmi, Byers, and McConnell, Indiana’s "thundering herd.” Whether the invaders can pound holes in the Indiana "boilers” of the line remains to be seen. The two Fisher brothers, Bernoske, Zaiser, Biiner, Winston and Lanntan have withstood all attacks to date. Victory against Indiana has been by the air this season. Once in possession of the ball, Purdue warriors are expected to throw their sledges to the side lines and use their sinewy arms to hurl for ward passes. And — right there is where the battle begins, it will be Indiana’s time to commence some fire works. The "Scrappin' Hoosiers," with everything the name implies, arc eagerly awaiting the invasion of the upstaters; anxious to avenge last ■year's defeat and determined to mark their stadium dedication with victory. Coach Navy Bill Ingram starts his final polishing touches tomorrow afternoon. Bishop, who was injured in the mud game at Ohio State, may not be able to start. The husky guard has not recovered as quickly as was anticipated and may not be able to assume his share of the gridiron burden. Prucha is expected back in the tilt but all hopes of having “Zip” Courlm in the fraj have passed into oblivion. At least twice as large a crowd as any in the history of Indiana University is now assured from advance seat sales. It appears certain that there will be a complete sell-out of the stadium where a feud lasting exactly 31 years will receive its annual dues. A triumph for Coach Ingram's eleven will give Indiana ten victoreis over Purdue to thirteen for the upstaters. Three games have been tied. Thou mds of graduates and friends of the university will flock back to their alma mater for the game and pow-wows. The latter will start at 6 o'clock Friday evening and has been a tradition in the history of Indiana athletics for nearly a half century. There will be plenty of parking space for autmobiles. Indiana and Jordan fields, covering several acres, will be turned over to the .visitors, besides several other places near the new stadium. 0 Theatre Owner Goes To Columbus To Confer With “Red’’ Grange Tampa, la., Nov. 19.—(United ”re««) —C.

Two silver foxes were to be purchas-1 . ed and when they grew fat were to be stripped of their skins and fed to their progeny. These would eventually suffer the same fate and thus the farm would show nothing but a profit of skins. But the police stepped in before the
two foxes were purchased. The next day la-grand's office was flooded with letters bidding for shares In his com-
