Farmer Burns has been developing the Canadian farm- er, apd says he is the coming cham- pion. He is already so strong that recently the young Canadian went up against Stanislaus Zbyszko, the present world's champion at Nash- ville, Tenn., and stayed in the ring with Zbyszko for three hours until the referee called the match off be- cause it was after midnight. Farmer Burns picked up Frank Gotch, an unknown Iowa farm hand, and made him the champion of the world. Now the farmer has gotten another farm hand, and says he is going to develop a new world's cham- says Farmer Burns, "He is the com- ing world's champion.

So Says Dr. Raycroft of the Old-Time Athletes. Dr. Joseph E. Raycroft, Princeton's director of physical education, comes to the defense of the athletes of the past in an afticle in the Daily Prince- tonian. Asked to compare the pres- ent-day athletes with those of the "golden nineties," the Princeton di- rector had this to say : : "I do not think that in any sport, such as football, the average man of the present meeds or possesses any greater intellect than the players of "twenty years ago. I played football myself thirts. years ago and coached for several years after my undergrad- uate days were over and I can assure you that I pondered long and as diligently over plays as any captain or coach of the team in 1921. The athlete then had just as quick wits as any man to-day.

CAREER FOR THIS, BOXER London, Dec, 24.--AMN offers in- tended to influence him to ad the career of a professional pugilist have been rejected by Constable Harry Malkin, : Malin, middleweight champion of the world among the amateurs, has whipped everybody in Europe and won the international championship on a recent visit to New York. He is a splendidly built fellow, able to take a lot of punishment and. with terrific punching power in each hand. It is the consensus of opinion | among the London fight folks that Mallin, within six mogths, not merely could establish himself as the "pro" middleweight champion of Europe, but certainly could win the light- heavyweight and tive heavyweight tit les of Great Britain. bY Harmon brothers made a sensa- tional score at Pinehurst on the first days in the amateur-professional af- fair, and with such expert talent on hand, caused a big surprise.
