The Tribune Athletic association refuses to strike a foul blow. "This letter Is written becattee of the inceiarant misrepresentation by TRII TRIBVNII on both editorial and sporting pages of the attitude of the Protestant church people on prize fights and boxing exhibitions.

And this writer makes bold to speak because for year he has been a leader in the fight on the side of the churches.

In one of the tightest basketball games ever seen at the Badger gym Wisconsin beat Purdue here tonight, 20 to 19, when in the last twenty seconds of play TebeU came from his position at guard and shot two long shots through the loop. The game was nip and tuck all the way, but when Gibson was ruled from the game, due to four personal fouls, Purdue scored enough to pass the Badgers, and remained ahead until Tebell's timely rally.

Both teams played bang-up basketball throughout, although Wisconsin was off a bit on shooting, missing most of their shots. Spooner and Williams were big factors in defeating the Boilermakers, but Tebell's timely shots made him the outstanding star for the Badgers. Gullion and Holwerda both played star roles for the visitors. the latter sinking seven free throws out of eight chances. Lineup: PURDUE 191.

3 I 1 I 3 3 i I speculation. Without a protective law we may still reestablish racing, but the upbuilding process will be slower. There are two ways of securing a law. One is for agitation and demonstration of an Overwhelming public sentiment in favor of the sport with assurance that back of racing will stand responsible sponsors. The other way, say those more experienced than we in such matters, is for an emissary to take pencil and paper and write down before a stakeholder some imposing gurea with the dollar sign in front of them Several of the men interested in the projected country dub with polo and other society adjuncts have told The Wake distinctly that they do not favor buying" legislation, that it is not the right way to start They will not proceed without a law.

So much for that. The Riverdale backers, wita Judge Joseph A. Murphy as adviser, think they have a system of oral betting which is not illegal under present laws. They are willing to build a track and undertake racing. Until test cases have reached the Supreme court their status will be more or less uncertain.

They may conduct high class racing, if officials do not harass them, but they cannot build for the future until opinion of their attorneys Is sustained by a court of record. Hawthorne is advertising a. spring meeting. Hawthorne's meeting of last fall proved Chicago wants racing. To determine that question was its announced purpose.

It served that purpose. Horsemen were paid in full, although there are rumors some other obligations are still outstanding. Hawthorne alone, in our opinion. will not bring back the old days of turf sport. Recapitulating.

we think race meetings will be attempted in Chicago this season. We think a state law or a Supreme court decision holding some form of oral wagering not unlawful to be necessary before Chicago has the class of racing to which it is entitled. "De do not oppose boxing all a healthful exercise. Many, perhaps most of us believe in it, and some of us can handle the gloves. But boxing as an exercise and highly commercialized prize fights, or even amateur boxing exhibitions are two different things, with no essential connection.

We did not and do not oppose boxing in the army or navy. not even on tte Commodore, with the exhibition feature cut out, as a means of developing fighting men, but we Insist that there is no close connection between developing men into fighters for war and into citizens for the arts of peace" Personally, I feel that the present law forbidding sparring or boxing exhibitions is too strict, but at this time I would not be willing to help loosen it up, except possibly In eolleges and Y. M. C. A-8 and recognized clubs among bona fide members thereof, for the simple reason that the fighting fraternity would tear it to shreds over night." Leayette ki, Feb.
