rounds last Friday night the moment

his remarkably thick forearms, his

gloves and his armored crust. If Eddie had stood off at these times and

compelled Hanley to unwind and come

out of his hole and box it Is extremely

probable, nay, almost certain, that he would of knocked Hanley out long be

fore the tenth round, for he got in blows that the other plainly disliked whenever they boxed at arms' length

and was evidently the harder hitter by

a long way when Clabby was almost exhausted In the eighth from the frantic attack upon the outworks, so to s;?eak. Hanley gave the Yankee a severe stoush In the ninth round and as t- the fouling up to this time It consisted of Hanley gripping Clabby's

bell the crowd swrung right around in the fifteenth. Hitherto it had been mostly for their own son but now admiration for Clabby's splendid bravery and fairness outweighed partisanship and they cheered the stranger madly at the end of the sixteenth which Clabby won easily they actually organized the cheering and kept it up for fully two minutes in this round and also the seventeenth It looked as thoughClaltby would knock Hanly out, but the bell saved him on both occasions in the eighteenth Clabby. opened up with a slaughter turn, and Hanley responded with his great ram act. Tom began madly in the nineteenth and scored heavily till a quick jolting smash put htm to his hands anA knees again he was up at the count of five and both were fighting hard till the heel both stood up in the twentieth which was give and take. Clabby should have won which every one thought but a draw was the best he got 'if Jimmy was in his corner there would of been a different tale to this great battle, but he was in West Australia." ,

Abolition" of all intercollegiate sports as the only cure for the athletic ills of the western intercollegiate conference Is the proposition up for consideration by the .University of Chicago board of control at a special meeting today at the Midway. The Maroon professors will hold the warmest debate since the broaching of the summer baseball ques

tion, and may decide to cut all athletic

evrms irom tneir program as a result.

Members of the board admitted last

night that the problem of doing away wJth 'athletics was regarded as the only

wise course by a number of the Midway

aumorities. - The report of the committee-appointed to look into the mat

ter will be the big feature of the ses

sion, and another point of importance wlll.be the settlement of Chicago's at

titude on the new eligibility code draft

ed by the faculty representatives of the "big eight' last month in Chicago. , The present crisis'at the Midway, according to the board members, is the outgrowth of the deadlock in the conference between the schools favoring strict amateur principles and those favoring professionalism. It was declared ywterday that the Maroon headquarters

that : practically all hopes of bringing

the "big eight" to a peaceful settlement of the summer baseball question had been given up, and that a radical move by. Chicago, such as the canceling of athletic events, probably would result. ' President Judson will preside

at the meeting.

of many spectacular features and showed the great Improvement in Hammond's teamwork. They played like old veterans and eo astounded the Monticello five that they were unable to get a start until the second half. Determined to win. Hammond . took

their opponents into camp during the : first twenty minutes of play and slipped over a whitewash while Monticello was trying to score. Hammond scored ten points before they got a reply. Monticello came back strong In the second half, playing a different game of basketball. They executed ' their plays more quickly and displayed some beautiful work at handling the ball. But the Hammond quintet were there also and piled up enough points to over-balance those of their opponents. In this half Hammond scored thirteen

points and Monticello twelve, the final result standing 28-12.

A large, appreciative crowd watched

the game and although the Monticello

boys met defeat last night they took the blow with school spirit and won admiration with the audience. They are a clean lot of school boys and say that Hammond has one of the fastest

squads that they have played against

this season, having played 23 games, losing two of them and one was with a fast college team. Jones, the Hammond high school's new find, played the star game of the evening at guard and considering this is his first year at basketball he promises to do things next season. lie was mixed up in a good share of the plays and had the crack Monticello forward guessing most of the time. Crumpacker at guard also played a crack game and well took care of his man. Smith proved himself the hero of the basket peggers, making 5 baskets, while Johnston captured 4 baskets of three on foul throws. Van Gilde.r at, center also played a consistent game. Both fives made some difficult bas

kets from telling jingles on the floor

and their accurate throws and teamwork brought the spectators to their feet a number of times. In all it was

a spectacular game and those who did

not see it missed the game of their

lives. !

With this victory last night Hammond has a fighting chance to take part in the state tournament to be held In the middle of March. Monti

cello was a strong contender, having won from some of the best fives In the

at the Whiting rink between the local hlglrsehool "fcnd the Michigan City high school. Both teams are sure of winning, so the result Is being eagerly an tlcicpated.
