in 1923 Arranging Bnskrtbnll Tourney OSTflUIA Jan 21 General Secretary Jerpo of the A is arranging frr a basketball tournament on tlio gym door eb 13 to 20 with twenty teams twelve rntn pawd of boys and eight of adults Mr Terpe is anxious to have basketball as popular with play ers and public locally as football and thinks that the tournament will bo a big start toward bunging about the desired result Agnsta i "harman If 'lenient rf Wilfiaitwc 1 ICM klg Janw srg to Sleep victory did not insnirn watch football games the question of safety is a most important one It Is for this reason that reinforced concrete is now used almost exclusively for stadiums Not only is the safety of the crowds assured by such construction but there is no danger from fire and no expenses for repairs and upkeep The stadium movement is not con fined to the college and univers ty towns because many smaller communi ties have made preparations for the physical development of the young' folks and stadiums have been erected that serve as athletic grounds fair grounds and recreation centers In Chi cago plans have been made and funds obtained for the erection of a huge con crete municipal stadium on the lake front which will have a seating capaci ty of 100000 and will be the largest stadium in the country or instance after hooking Jeff in mouth with his left Jim said: "Well JcfY 1 taught you all you know at Carson City but I still have up my sleeve a few tricks 1 did not show you' I have learned some since then and 1 did not dare hit you hard then or you couldn't have fought As Gus Ruhlin Corbett and itz simmons were dissatisfied with the beat ings they had received from Jeffries the latter had to ghe each another chance in the next three years In the meantime Jeffries was follow ing In the footsteps of his predecessors by trying to elevate the stage He also did a trip in which he met all comers agreeing to knock them out Inside of four rounds One night In Butte Mont he took on a big miner Jack Munroe Jeff was in no condition and Munroe not only stuck out the four rounds but outpointed the champion That accidental success encouraged Munroe to challenge Jeff Jim took him on the next year and put him to sleep in two rcunds That brief bout was last ap pearance in the ring for many years As there really were few heavyweights in his class he was called upon to tight seldom mid he was a man who found It difficult to keep in condition He dis liked training so emphatically he finally in l'K)" retired from the ring and turned the championship over to Marvin Hart a second rater Hart lost the title to Tommy Burns and the lat ter to Jack Johnson It was the first time In the history of the ring that a negro had been the heavyweight champion and Jeffries in 19Ih yielded to a public demand emerged frotn his retirement and met Johnson in tne ring at Reno July 4 1 1 is long absence from the ring how ever had unfitted him for a battle with such a skillful boxer ns Johnson who not only wai a master of defense but a hard puncher or months Jeffries trained for the contest but although lie gatlu red a spb ndid corps of advisers rind trainers ho did not get into the physical condition desired Training al ways had been abhorrent to him and he went about his work this time in a half hearted manner lining so irritable at times his managers could do nothing with him There was nothing to remind the fistic fans of the Jeffries of former days His famous trip hammer blows were lack ing His old bull like rushes were miss ing In short the vital spark was gone and Jeffries was but a child in the hands of the negro who knocked him out in the fifteenth round after having punished the big 'nlifornlan terribly Jeffries had one eye closed and bled pro fusely from nose mouth and eye Since then Jeffries never has fought He simply could not come bark ANN ARBOR Mich Jan ceptance of an invitation from versity of Michigan by the intercollegi ate Association of Amateur Athletes of

Jeffries was one of the few great fight ers who did not enter the arena via the amateur route Jim never was an ama teur battler like Sullivan Corbett and itzsimmons previous titleholders He was contented to work in a shop and occasionally take his gun and go hunting His first battle of which there is anv record was in 1S93 when Jim was IS years old Los Angeles there was a colored boxer Hank Griffin who had issued a challenge to fight anyone Some triend of Jeffries who knew Jim was a powerful brute urged him to accept the deft Jim was about to refuse when he earned he could make some

twenty two points for Reserve The entire Reserve squad took part in the game yhR since the days of the old Circus Maximus people have been crowding into this or that stadium to enjoy their particular form of sport With the old Romans chariot racing or idn baiting used to be the chief attraction and some historians have figures to prove that from 260000 to 485000 per sons could be crowded into the Circus Maximus Then there was the Coliseum of Rome which although not exactly classed as a stadium was of the amphitheater type with a seating capacity of from 50000 to 87000 American football which since its start has been the most popular of college sports has been attracting thousands of specta tors and the big games of the last few years have drawn record breaking crowds One result of the great war was a nation wide recognition of the commanding importance of physical education and consequently college athletics have outgrown their facilities and scores of educational institutions are making plans for better athletic iiekls Moct of the larger universities have already erected huge stadiums Yale is known the country over because of the Yale bowl which seats 01000 This is the largest stadium in tiro country and so enormous have been the crowds at tracted by the big gridiron contests that plans have been drawn for additions and the seating capacity will be great ly enlarged The Harvard stadium is the oldest large stadium in the country and originally seated 23000 but tem porary stands give it a capacity of 45 t'Oti At Brinceton the stadium is shaped with a seating capacity of 42000 The college of the city of New York has a stadium circular in shape seat ing about 0000 people The University ol Washington stadium at Seattle is shaped and seats fiOOoO The Wash ington (D Central High school sta dium seats 0000 The University of Michigan erected a stadium in 1914 that seats 50000 Lel'igh university at Bethlehem Ba has a stadium erected In 1915 that seats ISJHMl The Univer sity of stadium seats 10000 people and will have to be enlarged to accommodate the crowds that demand admittance to the games as the tem porary stands are inadequate Ohio State university has a
