All concede that Wills is a better he received fomhis end $60,000. And | boxer and smarter ring general than Firpo, but claim the Negro is handi- capped "with brittle hands, which would not stand the gaff in a bout with such a hard scrapper as Luis. Walsh sizes up the fight in the following manner: "l always have thought Wills was a_.greatly gverestimated fighter. His admirers believe he would be a cinch to whip Dempeey, but he n't any more chance of beating the champion than I have to make a watch with a4 can opener. Harry is a clever boxer, but he is not the puncher that his henchmen would lead us to be- lleve. "His record -- bears out this statement. "For instance, when Bill Tate act- ed as sparring partner for Dempsey he experienced plenty of trouble tak- ing the champion's punches with Jack wearing 16-ounce gloves, Demp. sey, using five-ounce sgloves could name the round in which he would stop Tate, yet Tate fought two draws with Wills, one in 12 rounds and the other In 10 rounds.' "In took Wills 12 rounds to stop Clem Johnson in 1922. Tiny Herman flattened Johnson in eight rounds in Minneapolis in November. At that, Wills should have been disqualified in his fight with Johnson because he threw Clem through the ropes in the. twelfth round, injuring. him so severely that he could not. continue but the referee gave the decision to Harry on a technical knockout. "I pick Firpo to beat Wills be- cause Luis can take everything Harry sends his way and ha\e enough left to knock out the Negrg/ Unless I am greatly mistake, Wills' hands will cave in after he smacks Firpo's con- crete Jaw and head for a round or two." 7 "JOOKO" CONLON LEAVING BRAVES < MEN'S AND YOUNG MEN'S ...

Ing .Into Business Now, ""Jocko' Conlon, ex-captain of the Harvard varsity nine, who was with the Boston Braves last season, has decided, after a conference with President Christy.

He and "Matty" discussed the mat. = from all angles, the latter act- ing in the capacity,of a friendly ad- vi as much as an official of the Boston club. * He was not certain that Conlon was giving himself a fair deal in deciding to quit the e, because he failed to do better last year. He did not regarq Conlon's failure to come through last season as proving anything, and told Jocko that the Boston club was willing to string along with him until a more definite line might be bad upon the possibili- ties although this might, or might not, means a season or two with the minors, Conlon was anxious to satisfy the | Boston club in every way, but he felt that he now had an opportunity to go into business =hich might not be available ote year or two years hence. wi \ The chances are that he would have passed up this opportunity if the Boston. cliubpressed to stay, but Mathewson did not h to take the responsibility of urging him to stick to baseball, and so weg Con- lon to make his o choice, He, told Conlon, however, it for any |, | battled for by rttle fellows.

Seattle, Wash., March 4.--From racing with bicycles, and not with boats, came a rowing principle that Is to penetrate the practice of the crews that uphold next summer the fame of Yale and Harvard and the Universities of Washington and Cali- fornia, oe The crews of these four institu- tions will be partly or entirely train- fed by graduates of a system of row- ing invented 'by Hiram Conibear; who dieq six years ago. Conibear never pulled an oar. 'He was a bicycle racer, and from that got to be an athletic trainer. He be- { came associated with the University | of Washington as track coach, An | idea kept running in his head, gain- [ed from his bicycle experience, that | the leg was a more powerful engine than the arm. When in an emerg- ency a crew coach wag needed at | Washington, he volunteered. Ulti- | mate success was the result. Followers of Washington crews believe that the '"Conibear stroke' will replace the English stroke in this country, by employing the power of the leg in a slow movement. Coni- bear forever doomed the labored use of the arms, which was the vogue when he entered acquatics In Conibear's regime at Washing- ton he won most of his races. In 1913 he took the Washington crew to the national intercollegiate re- gatta at Poughkeepsie, N.Y., and placed third, being nosed out by Syracuse and Cornell universities. After the world war Ed Leader, a veteran of the 1913 and 1916 Wash- ington eights, took the helm which death had wrenched, from the hand of Conibear. Under Leader, Wash- ington continued to advance. After defeating California and Wisconsin in the spring of 1922, the Washington boat was beaten only bya great eight of the United States naval academy in the Poughkeepsie race. Then Yale took Leader for its coach and: vit) him as assistant Captain Mike Murphy, stroke in the 1921 and 1922 Washington shells. | Russell 8. (Rusty) Callow, who had rowed in the 1913, 1914 'and 19156 Washington boats, was chosen as Leader's successor. Last June Cal- low took his oarsmen to Poughkeep- sie ang won the national rowing title. After that victory Captain Sam Shaw was engaged as assistant coach | at Harvard. : { The: two latest graduates of the Conibear system to become teachers of the art were Carroll Ebright, cox. ! swain at Washington in 1916 and, 1917, and Russ Nagler, coxswain in| 1919, 1920 and 1921, who have be-' come coach and assistant coach re-| spectively at the University of Call- | fornia, an -------- HOCKEY ENDED A TIE, The Splendid Game at Westport on Saturday Night, Westport, March 3.--The leap year ball that was held in the C.W.L. hall, on Friday evening, was a great success.
