This win nrtlculitrly true In our sector, where bouts of eight rounds in riillnuVlnhlu, welvc round In New .lersej's liirgcr cltip nml tiftecn rounds in New Yerk attracted goodly crowds at grand opera prices. Hut se far os championship buttles were concerned there was nothing big in the way of new in the two classes where the interest chiefly lies -the heavy and light weight divisions. .lack Dempsey did net larc n pair of glees en his lists for titular defence in the course of U)2'2, There was no real opportunity for the heavyweight king te protect his crew n unless he fought Harry Will", the Negro, and the inn inn jerit of the folks most vitally interested in pugliism are net ready te sanction mixed bouts. Heiiny Leenard, who tops the lightweight division, risked bis precious geld-earning title in a decilen bout only once. In this contest he knocked out IMtchie Mitchell in six round". Then he boxed a twelve-round no-decision bout with Lew Tcudler. The Philadelphia lad com pelled Henjnmin te step some punches that were real and earnest, but Lew did net gain a knock- STOXEY .McLINN out. which was necessary for him te win. In the feather uiyl middle weight classes there was inactivity, .lehnny "llhane, the monarch of the feather", did net find nn opponent or n purse te s princely liking. .lehnn Wilsen, who is the middleweight chump, did net lit, and In the majeritv of the States where boxing is sanctioned he would .it have been permitted' te defend his title because his sincerity of purpose as questioned. sssWiti-Mi '"' H l.' 6s, ' -' ' ,! i W l&afc.l j.y rm:i:i: myWunv m tin ditisians. however, there was action that iue he fight editors cepti fnr their celimim.

Lynch Held Bantam Title Tivicc ","OK LYNCH was the bantam chief en last January 1 and he is today. Hut ' in the course of the jear Lynch watched two ether boys sit en the throne. ' te Herman defeated Jeseph early in the year and later l'eter was licked by hnny Huff. Finally. Lynch beat Huff and gained the unique distinction of . Idiug a championship at boxing twice in the same year. In the meantime another little chap has been walloping his way te the ' ut rank" Midget Smith is the name. After much conferring between the :ing authorities of New Yerk nnd New Jersey, it appears that the Lynch - ' dth bout is really en for tomorrow night in Madisen Square Garden, nnu is altogether possible that another bantam king may be listed with the ' zilistic champions of the year when Leuie Jaffe prepares his annual review. Jack Hritten. game old warrior, lest his welterweight title te the twenty - ' -year-old Llizabeth athlete, Mickey Walker. Hritten previously this year i I "fought a draw with Dave Shade, the capable wielder of the leather inlt- ' s from California. Walker outpeinted Phil Krug in Newark the ether night u thnt is the extent of his activity since becoming champion. Harry Oreb is the light-heavyweight title bearer. Hattling I.evinsky s atop the heap when l!)-'2 was n babe, but be was n victim of Gene Tun 's prowess. Subsequently Greb proved te be the master of Tunney in u .riled exchange of blows. It is n fact that chief interest seems te center in the light and heavy v i ight divisions. There is no certainty that Dempey will match his skill 'th n real opponent very seen, hut Leenard lias premised te giv his rivals . jchance te raise n lump en his chin. And who Is the man best suited te de it? , Charley White probably will get the assignment and the dollars, for his stirring victory ever Hitchie Mitchell in New Yerk last week entitled Charles i Bhare in the spoils from a Madisen Square Garden house, packed te the mie. However, Lew Tendler is the man most likely te beat Leenard, in ir opinion. And Hebby Harrett, if he continues te improve that left band i ) he has in recent months, may eventually give Denny the King cause for ..editatien. Anyway, ID'J.'J should be a big ear for lightweights, i ... nAUTtKTT, by the Kay, maj win a fine Chriitmat gift far his iccent O heir If he heats Raiter t'replman next Monday afternoon.

Cernell and Iowa ahead of California, will be read ng the reports from the Far West with considerable interest. California is net one of the teams te be played, but Andy Smith's Inds beat both Southern California, which l'enn State tackles, and Leland Stanford, opponents of Pittsburgh. Therefore, if comparative bceres mmnt anj thing, we might get a line ou California's strength as compared with that of the Tigers and Ithacans. The Stanford-Pitt game is, regarded as the mere important of the three Intersectleual buttles. Fer one thing, Andy Kerr, a man who learned his football under Warner, is coaching the Pacific Coast eleven; also, Warner will become htud coach ut Stanford in 1021.

"Ilc ought te meet Geerge before he retires se that the junior lightweight class would net be without n champion. Of course, I feel confident that Chaney can take the crown nwny from him." If Dundee makes his threat geed by retiring with his diadem intact, then Harris threatens te claim the 130-pound-nt-2-e'eloc.k laurels for his southpaw secker, with the understand ing that Geerge would defend the title against nil comers.

XILDEN. 2d National Tennis Champien When I come te placing the last man in ray list of the "first ten" I find my self confronted with the almost equal records of a group of stars made up of such famous players as Willis E. Davis, of California; Stanley W. Pearson, of Philadelphia; Watsen Washburn and S. II. Voshell, of Ntew Yerk, and Tjiwrence Rice and N. W. Xilcs. of Bosten. It is with uncertainty as te my judgment that I give the selection te the first named. Willis Davis, after a most disastrous sensen of club matches in San Fran Fran ciseo, in which he met several un expected reverses, found himself in the Pacific Coast championship, where he forced "little HUP' Johnsten te the deuce sets, 7-5, J)-7C His first Eastern appearance was nt Seabright. where he went down te unexpected defeat at the hands of "Ses" Wertheim. the Austra lian extra-string player, in .two close f T.r. ft. 4. The Californian gained revenge ever the Australian star in the invitation event at Newport, by the peculiar score of (i-2. 0-0, 0-3, after defeating Carl Fisher in the Previous round, 1-0. 6-2. 0-0. His "jinx this time, In the form of Hugh Kelleher, get him by a 3-6, 0-1, 8-lt score. Defeated Mies The national championships produced Davis' best performance of the season when he defeated N. W.

The Australian "bugaboo tins Hm.. in the nerKnii if Pat O'Hara Weed eliminated Davis from the competition in? sequence sets. 0-2, -4, 0-4 The Dast-West matcnes saw . inceni icu ards defeat Davis in a close battle. The heasen of 1022 was net a geed one for Willis Davis. It was only for short periods that he revealed the game which. In former years, made him one of the most dangerous contenders In America. It. is hard te analyze where Davis failed last year. His service seemed as deadly as of old; hla over head was btill the devastating attack of former years, his ground strokes the name vicious, if erractlc, wallops of the past. Yet he lest where formerly hp nfin. Standing of Teams in Club Bowling League Tm Wen I.nt V.K.

They formed n municipal golf association with the idea of giving New Yerk mere and better public golf courses, a municipal golf championship there every year, nnd for the purpose 'of entering strong teams In intercity tournaments. It is stated that Xew Yerk has three public courses, Chicago nine nnd rliiladelplii.i nix, Cobbs Creek might de the work of "six" public links here, and we're talking, mostly, of two mere ; se, by the same calculations, Philadelphia is going te have eighteen publll: golf courses. That's h record, especially as we have only one. The new association in Xew Yerk i made up of representatives of the five public clubs that play en the trio of municipal links ever there. Officers were elected and much action threat ened. It was stated at the meeting that 50,000 golfers played the Xew Yerk public course this year with prelit te the metropolitan city of mere than $100,000. Want Mere Courses A noted golf architect at the meeting Stated thut this sum would almost cover the initial outlay for three mere Xew Yerk public courses in the Pelham sec tien, and these present voted "Why net?"

It Is well te remembir that Chicago did net excel ether Conference teams, which hheus that hhj- of hem could have given Princeton a workout. We Western alumni cannot nduiit and de net believe that the football played in the Middle West U one felt inferior te the Kuntcrn game.'' Although the ranking of teams that nppeuied in these columns wav ar rived at by pergenal judgment plus comparative mores in some instance, tnat was only when an eleven had been licked one or mere tlmi-s by what we re garded as inferior teams and should net be placed ns low us if a record of aitual wins put it.

It wat a writer's opinion plus coin' pirative Meres and usually the opinion vveighed heavier, n It did when giving Princeton flriat place and leua thud. "Pitt Admirer" wrote a lengthy and interesting letter, in which he stated tnat "I have beard many comments regarding Cernell's ability te beat anv tkm In the Kat-t this fall, but this wirely is open te debate. My hunw -. opinion Is that had Pitt opposed Cernel! en Thanksgiving Day the' Jtliacans would huve left the field defeated." New we plead guilty te having said that Cernell, is sli plajui against Penn en Franklin Field, would have been hard for any team te beat. How ever, we did net intend te convey the Idea that the Ithacans were unbeatable. In fact, we then thought and later stated most positively that somehow or elhcr Ihese Princeton Tigers would have wen any gume they played. Thev ueuld net be licked. ' OXU of our favorite teams of the teasan was Pitt, Perhaps War ner's Panthers tceuld haie beaten Cernell.

The deal was proposed by Manager McQraw, of the (Hants. The Cincin nati directors have decided net te ad vance the date for sending the team Seuth for Its spring training.

The lone course here has given plenty of players u chance at the game, has developed much talent and is most prominent even if it doesn't touch en all sections of the city, because of its location. The lateM golfer te achieve fume is the twelve-year-old boy at Pinehurst, who leumled the first nlAe holes of the championship course there this week in but forty-two strokes.

EDGAR M. CHURCH thirty years age wm one of the greatest ' ' athletes in intercollegiate sports. He was the last man te captain ' I'enn elevens for three consecutive years. He was leader In 1889, 'B0 nnd 1801. A. J., Gray waa pilot in 18A1 and the two following '' seasons. Beb Terrey, All American center, was captain of the f anions i lOOt and 1905 elevens, which beat Harvard, He was the last Quaker , ' te captain the learn for mere than one campaign. , ' "' 1 Penn's Offense During the 1022 Season -t AFTER the disastrous ending of the 1021 football season the PennyIsdJ4V, coaching staff agreed that mere attention should be given te the detente' if the Red nnd Blue was te regain its rightful place in the world of football, '",' With this in giintl, the staff concentrated en the defense this year, mi) we state emphatically that Pennsylvania had one of the best defensive eleven ' of the season. ' ' The schedule Included games with four of the really great teams of the country; namely, Pennsylvania State, Navy, Pittsburgh and Cernell. This quartet gave the Red nnd Blue all It Had in the way of nn offensive, and the total damage whs twenty-nine points, representing four touchdowns and one ' field goal. Critics were willing te admit that the Quakers were strong defensively, but the offense was rapped. "The Penn attack lacks punch," was the way one , writer put it. Consider what this "attack sans punch" did te the above-mentioned quartet. The "weak" Penn offense scored twenty-six points, three less thin the defense permitted. Twe touchdowns wcre made against the Xavy, one against Pitt and one ngainst Stntc. 'V If efficiency is measured by results, the Red and Blue scrimmage attack was ns strong ns the average of these four great teams. The count iV touchdowns was four against four. . - THE best results may net have been obtained with the available material, but nevertheless it. cannot be truthfully said that Penn'a attack was weak and lacked punch.
