Tho Quakers will bo forced to play without the services of Lardle Davis, the lanky center, who Is suffering from grip. Coach Jourdet ranks Davis as tho best in the Intercollegiate League nnd de clares that this seaon his record Is one of the best that ecr has been mado by a collegiate Jumper. Davis tallied twenty three Held goals In nine league engage, ments nnd only two goali havo been scored against him. Both of these were mado by Alexander, of Columbia. The loss of Davis Is moro severe In view of the fact that the Quakers plav hyracuso and Syracuse means .Toe Schwarzer, perhaps the best center de veloped In collegiate ranks within recent years. Syracuse beat I'enn on the Weighting.!! Hall court this year and Coach Jourdet Is particularly anxious for revenge.

In a letter today Penrl Smith, man ager of Mlske wants to know why Billy Isn't belnij given (onin consideration. "Although Fulton nnd Dcmpsey are first-class men, 1 can't peo why pro moters overlook Hilly Mlske, who lias defeated Fulton twice." Kmlth remarks under a letterhead which proclaims Hilly the world's heavyweight champion. Sliske Outclasses Them "In seventy bouts." Smith nmbles on, "Mtsko has noer been knocked off his feet, whereas Dcmpsey nnd Fulton havo been knocked out. t have been trying to get Dcmpsey to meet Mlske, but to date have not succeeded. "BUI may bo lighter than these other two, but he, llko Hob Fltzslmmons, has tho goods. I think Mlske Is n second Hob In both build and lighting cipalltles." Mlske Is the tlrst man iccalled Just at present who ha.i designated Hilly Mlske as the world's heavyweight champion, lie claims It through Mlfko's victory "oer Fulton In St. Paul." The bout was ten rounds, went tho limit nnd no dtclslou was tendered. As a matter of fact, Fulton and Mlske should nettle their troubles and Jack Dempsey really should eliminate Mlsko beforo setting himself up as the equal of Fulton. A Mlske-Denipjcy bout would be worth n big gate. Fullon-Dcmpscy Dout SuRccstcd Although Fred Fulton and his man ager are headed for a Willard gnhfest In Kansas; City tnday. they are consider ing offerings for another light In tho near future. The slamming given the mighty planter by old Tom Cowler caused ono Chicago promoter with u tpnro $30.0110 to offer that amount for a match with Jack Dempsey. If Is believed Jess Willard will argue that Dempsey should have 11 tlrst shot at Fulton. Dempsey and his manager wnnt It becnuso they believe such n meeting will mean tho westerner would take Fulton's place as Wlllard's oppo nent for the title. Dcmpsey Is Willing Jack Kearns sent up a wall of an guish today over tho efforts of pro moters to match Fulton and Willard. Jack, manager of Jack Dempsey, an notineed he Is after Fulton for Dempsey. "We nre not after Willard." he de clared, "but certainly know that Demp sey can whip Willard and do it de cisively." GREAT JAP WRESTLER RETIRES WITH FORTUNE Tachlyama.
