JESS WILLARD CONTINUES
WORLD CHAMPION BOXER
In a ten-round bout with Frank
Moran at Madison Square Garden,
New York on Saturday night, Jess
Willard continues to hold the cham-
pionship in the world’s arena of pugi-
lism. By the laws of the State, prize
fighting carried to the point of a fin-
ish for either of the contestants is
prohibited, unless it occur within the
ten rounds.
Of the two contestants. Williard had
58 pounds to his credit, weighing 259
and besides was five inches taller
than ' was Moran. That the latter
could go it to the end was a marvel
to many.

The men did not shake hands either .
before or at the close of the contest;
we think that was more genuine, for
each was bent with great feeling upon
the defeat of the other almost if ne-
cessary to the point of death.
The, prize fight is not so engrossing
on the general public as in other
years. It is by no means ennobling,
vet nations have war, ard men in or-
dinary life try to do the other or tn
get ahead of his con petitors. From
top to bottom, from the poor to th2
wealthy, from the weak to the s rong,
there ds an everlasting contest, al-
ways has been, but it is to be hoped
that the time may come when man
shall even care as much for his fel
low man as he does for himself. when
the jdeal community life shall pre-
vail,
Everything is going up except the

songster may have many chilly hours
yet, however. Though the robin
flies to the south in
months he seldom pours for his

saves them for his home folks. The

sweet musician of the air in the!

they strolled leiurely up Center to
the club. Here they were greeted
by strains of high class music issu-
ing from a graphonola. Aftr enjoy-
ing several one steps, and Paul Jones

i strains of dreamy music.
The Senior Class wishes to thank
the Rex Club for the use of the hall
and F. B. Thomas for the use of the
Graphoncla.
