LIGHT HEAVIES AND HEAVIES IN BOUTS TONIGHT JTurney vs. Levinsky and Fulton vs. Madden Feature Big Boxing Program. By JACK VEIOCK. NEW YORK. Jan. 13—Fred Fulton and Gene Tunney are going after glory at Madison Square Garden tonight. Fulton hopes to make a flying start on the road to a return match with Jack Dempsey by flattening out that rugged west side citizen, Bartley Madden. Tunney, who has been coming along flue since his hands quit giving him trouble, aspires to be known as the American light heavyweight champion and will attempt to grab that title from the veteran Battling Levinsky. In advance of hostilities, it appears that Fulton has a pretty good chance to realize his ambitiou. Madden once stood up with him for six rounds, it is true, but over the twelve-round route he will be liable to find the weather stormy, for Fulton means busimiss and was never In better trim. . . Tnnney has hls work cut out if he beats Levinsky. In this bout it will be experience and craftiness against youth end aggressiveness. Levinsky has long since started on the downward trail, but he is crafty enough to take good care of himself against a rugged opponent, providing said opponent is not clever. So It will be up to Tunney to break through Levinsky's defense and clip him on the chin. And that is just what the Greenwich Village heavy hopes to do. Georges Carpentier's easy victory over George Cook, Australian heavy, indicates that the Frenchman is still a capable battler and able to give a good account of himself. Boxing fans on this 6ide of the water will await Carpentier's return to the Ptates with interest. Tex Rickard is confident that he will return to go through with the Tommy Gibbons match. Unemployment Fails to Cut in on Grid Coaching Activities Two Big Ten Jobs Still Begging for High Class Mentors.

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.—Evidently the unemployment wave that has caused hardship to workers in many industries has not affected the vocation of coo'hing football teams. Either that or employers of gridiron mentors are getting particular as to whom they hire. Whatever the circumstances, the fact is that two rather fat coaching plums are ripe for the plucking in the Big Ten conference and the harvesters seem to be few. Minnesota, willing to pay $7,000 per year for the right man to teach Its sturte U football, has not been able as yet to seiee* a successor to "Doe” Williams, who coached the Gopher elevens for years. Northwestern University is enga red in a dili ten' search for a successor to Elmer M Devitt, who quit at the close of the 1021 season. Huso Bezdek. former manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, former coach of the University of Oregon, and now football tutor at Penn State College, is the latest to bob up as a possible coach at Minnesota Bezdek was here today after conferring at Minneapolis with the Gopher authorises Thursday, but declined to discuss 'he conference Reports fr on Minneapolis say that Bezdek went there at the invitation of President Coffman and th-> n'hVt ■ authorities. It is not improbable that Bezdek will return to the Big Ten where h** made his reputation as a player for the University of Chicago, as coach of the Gophers next season. Northwes'era’s hopes of luring Knute Roekne away from Notre Uarao faded when the coach of the Irishmen announced he would not accept the Purple's offer. Charles Brickley. the former Harvard star, was eliminated when authorities of Northwestern announced he was not being considered Harry Robertson, coarh of the freshmen team at Syracuse, is now the only known prospect being considered as coach at the Evanston school.

In the afternoon Layton ran his fifty billiards in forty-two frames, while Kleckhefer was counting forty. In the evening contest the champ again was on the long end of the score with his fifty string run out iu fortj--six innings, while his opponent was chalking up forty-two. The execution of both hilliardists was almost perfect and the local fans were given one of the best three-cushion exhibitions that has ever been seen here. In the afternoon each player had a high Pnn of seven and in the evening Kie khefer got a high run of six. while the best the champion could do was a four. Starting with the twenty-fifth inning in the afternoon contest Layton counted twenty-four billiards in the next nine frames. Two consecutive runs of six in the thirty-first and thirty-second innings helped the great scoripg. In the night game, after a bad start, Kieckhefer came strong, but could not catch the title holder, who went out with a run of four in the forty-sixth inning. In the last five innings of the evening match Kieckhefer ran seventeen billiards. The exhibitions will end today with games of fifty poin’s each at 3 o’clock this afternoon and at 8 o’clock tonight. The match now stands 100 to 82 in favor of Layton. To even up the count Kieckhefer must score 118 billiards while the champion is counting 100. CITY THBEE-CCSHIOX MEET.

Usual Keen Interest Displayed in Quaker Battle With Butler Pat Page's array of Butler basket-ball players, without ns much as even glancing at the ominous date on the calendar, will sail into the Earlham aggregation at the Irvington gymnasium tonight in a scrap that should provide some highclass net entertainment. The Earlham defense, the big department in the play of the Quakers, Is one of the best in the State and Page has worked his men hard in order that they may be able to pierce it with success tonight Butler's defense has also shown well this season, so a tight game is apparent with low scores as the probable result. Page is expected to s'art Captain Hooker and Brown at the forward positions Leslie or Griggs at center, Colway nt back guard and Midd'esworth or Blank at floor guard Hinshaw and Hadley, forwards: Townsend, center, and Goar and Beasley, guards will likely be the Earlham line-up.

Harrison fought an eight-round draw with Chuck Turner of Indianapolis, in the main bout ! of the boxing show at Ft. Benjamin Har- : rison last night. One of the largest | crowds that has gathered at the fort witnessed the four boxing bouts, which were full of action from start to finish.

Madison Suare Garden, has consented to hear Wilson’s case next Tuesday, it was i announced today. That Wilson will do everything he can [to have the suspension against him I lifted by the New York commission is a ! foregone conclusion, for as long as it stands he will be unable to box in six States where the game now flourishes These States are New York. New Jersey, Ohio. Minnesota, Connecticut and Massachusetts. Promoter Tex Rickard stands ready to match Wilson with any legitimate middleweight contender, even though the Charlestown scrapper did run out on him. "I’ll put Wilson on with the best middleweight available providing he will assure me there will he no more monkey business," said Rickard today, "but 1 am not going out of my way to get him now He'll have to come to Rickard."

Playing Rules of Tennis to Remain Practically Same Elimination of Blind Draw in Tourneys Most Radical Departure. By HENRY L. FARRELL. f NEW YORK, Jan. 18. No change* in thu playing rules are expected at the annual meeting of the United States Luwii Tennis Association next- month. As tiie game now stands. It i* regarded by the player* a- perfectly aatufi.c t >ry ami any changes ihat might be attempted might be considered arbitrary, \ In view of the fact that the game is now plaved in pnictloaliy every country under the same rules. One change in the method of conduct- i ing tournaments, that will be welcomed, is bound to come with the adoption or the executive committee's recommendation to "seed the draw." Under tin* existing regulations the draw Is "blind” in arranging the schedule. The names of the player* are; drawn out of a hat without any assortment as to class and ability. This frequently results, as it did several times last season, in getting together two of the greatest players in the I tournament in the early .ounds, utter I which the rest of the tournament suffers Ia corresponding lack of Interest. i With the "seeded draw,” the ranking players wll be scattered and opponents : will be drawn for them. Under Ideal | conditions this will result In a final j round between two player* of real class 1 Another important rule that will bo j passed has to do with a stricter inter - i pretiii ion of the “amateur rule.” The executive committee recommended that ; players be allowed to write for newspapers only on technical subjects nd j be prohibited from acting in the capacity ; of reporters. j La.-t season, William T. Tilden and | Vincent Richards, two of the greatest stars, "covered" tournaments for newspapers. In the past this was permissable as Song as the pla.vers wrote their own copy. However, Tilden and Uichaide did not violate this rule, as the writer knows both wrote all ihelr copy. Criticism resulted, however and rather than have suspicion directed at any of the American players by any foreign nations, it was decided to coniine the litem rj field of the star to essays and treatises rather than "news.” The usual agitation for changes in the method of scoring and other trivial reforms were made during the last season, j but the committee took no notice of it. j Manual Alumni Five Is Eliminated by Shortridge in Close Game, 33 to 30

BOWLING

Irwin to Provide Means of Improving Butler Sport Field More Bleachers and New Fences Will Be Erected by Next Grid Season. One of the most enthusiastic rooters in the Butler stands at the Waliash-Butler football game last fall was Will G. Irwin, widely known financier of Columbus, Ind., and an alumnus of the Irvington school. Mr. Irwin was greatly Impressed with two things at this game. One was the aggressive, hard-fighting football machine, the greatest in the history of the school; the other was the dilapidated condition of Irwin field, which he had donated to the college some years before. Mr. Irwin thought it highly inconsistent that such a great team should perform amidst such shabby surroundings and when the football schedule for next full was announced and it was learned that such teams as Notre Dame, Wabash and De Pauw would oppose the Pagemen he determined that his alma mater would not be ioreed to act as host to them with such inadequate crowd facilities and under such poor conditions as prevailed at the 1921 Wabash game. Therefore, yesterday, Mr. Irwin came forth with an \ announcement that will give Butler the ' biggest athletic facilities boost it has had in years. As it result of Irwin's benevolence next fall will see at Butler one of the best improved athletic plants of the secondary colleges in Indiana. Included in Irwin s gift will be an order for enough porta--1 ble bleachers to ruise the seating capacity of the field three thousand. These, : coupled with the old bleachers, will cause the entire gridiron to be encircled by stands, fourteen or fifteen rows high. A field of waving corn visible through great gaps in the fence on the east side of the field and various views obtained through holes in the west side also made a baa impression on Mr. Irwin ami as a result before the grid souad gathers for its initial work-out next fall these two | boundaries of the historic gridiron will lie enclosed with new and modern fences ! seven feet high. New fences wero recently built on the north and south sides, and these, coupled with the new additions, will enclose Irwin Field so securely that even the proverbial football bear will lie unable to escape. No longer will a steady stream of urchin* pour in from unguarded holes in the fences, and no longer will hundreds of spectators be f reed to stand !u all available corners ! of the enclosure for lack of seating facilities Mr. Irwin's generosity will make possible the installation of a modern athletic plum at Butler that will be a fitting lair f*-*r the winning team* Fat Page is producing.
