"Possibly nowhere Is this more clear than In our physical work, where we put less restraint on the expression of our natures whether good or bad, and those in charge of this most important phase of our school activities are in a position Most potently to Influence us. In our mental and moral reactions as well as in tho physical. Therefore, when a man like C. J.

It is not an Incident in tho life of Polv but an event, and we would not let tho occasion pass without voicing, for tho alumni as well as for the school body, a well do-served tribute of friendship, appreciation, and gratitude for a service of such marked devotion and success, and a heartfelt God speed for a future that wo trust may be as In BQtlufnMnn na thM VMI'H Ily THOMAS HOI.MFS. T1IKIM: Is s.ippoM-il to he mtlhinK murh new under the sun in wht is freyurntly called the spirting world mid which ia more or less humdrum. Consequently the artioim and the general attitude of Kdouard Musi-art. who srvms to be tjjr foath'rwelglit champlrn of ait Kurope and Afghanistan, provides food for contemplation and something to write about.

M'sieu Mascart. who hails from La Belle Franco, came across the Atlantic ostensibly to carry the featherweight championship of the world bark with him. That is the uenrrai idea luikinj in the brains, if any, of all foreign fighters who lund on these shores. Most of them are knocked horizontal long before they get within speaking distance of a championship match. Over on the other side Mascart knocked out Danny Frush, the Joe Beckett of the featherweight division, and this feat seems to have arlvcn him a great reputation in Europe.

Frush never Impressed as bewg of ON OR ABOUT MAY We will open another Store at 3612 CLARENDON ROAD BARNSBEE'S HOME BAKERY 880 Iftica Avenue, Near Church Avenue We Dslivsr Everywhere Telephone FUtbush 24S0 ieliiStol weight rhampion of the world, at lexnt partially because Dundee, who nimht poRMbly reclaim bis title, has not rejilly put up a good ftgnt sine the balmy summer's evening in when he cut Kugene Criqui to pieces. on iiinmic' Champion-hip. NEVERTHELESS, Mascart figures that if he could get Dundee into a ing and heat the erstwhile bounding Italian, he would be recognized by some as the featherweight chara. plon of the world. It is very likely that he would be too, particularly by the boxing powers that be in Europe.

Dundee apparently has no particular objections to meeting Mascart. The veteran Italian knows thit he can get more money by meeting the Frenchman than he can got by meeting any one else in the boxfighting business with ths exception of Kaplan. And it is fairly safe to say that Dundee wants none of Kaplan's game. Johnny apparently expects to make some money out of his discarded featherweight title vet. A week or so ago when Dundee was malched to box Red Chapman, Boston featherweight who never did anything particularly startling.

Chap, man weighed in at 126 pounds, the featherweight limit. Johnny and his manager wouldn't stand for that. Nothing, doing. They made Chapmsn go out, eat a beefsteak or two, como back over the featherweight limit and weigh in all over again. Chapman Won Nothing but Honor.

CHAPMAN handed the shell of Johnny Dundee a decisive lacing and easily won the decision of the judges. Had Chapman been permitted to box at his original weight, whatever claim Dundee might still have on the featherweight championship would have passed Into thi hands of the Boston fighter. As it was. Chapman got nothing out of his victory but the somewhat Intangible honor of walloping what was ones a good fighter. No, Johnny Dundee is holding on to the slender string he might have on the championship that was once his for one big shot.

And from present indications It seems likely that that one big shot is a match with Edouard Mascart, the Frenchman who knocked out Danny Frush.

"Kid" Kaplan, Johnny Dundee and Jolmny Kilbane. 9larart Niu lieen tircatly Unllyhoued.

PiR NO apparent reason whatever, Mascart seems to have been more extensively ballyhooed than the average Kuropean champion. Most champions of the old country make their American debut at the Moneer s. V. or the uptown Commonwealth- nd, as a rule, get no further. But the well-known ballyhoo in Maacart's case was so strong that he has been approached with a ooU offer to meet Kid Kaplan, generally recognized as the featherweight champion of the world, in a title bout at Madison Square Garden.

And here's the surprising part of it. M'sieu Mascart turned thut offer down. N'ot in so many words, of course. M'sieu Mascart, through hU merely turned up his flattened rose at the offer of 20 percent of the gate receipts and requested 10 percent more. That would have feen 6 percent more than Kaplan, the world's champion, would have received.

Quite naturally, Tex Fdekard, when he had recovered from the hock, muttered a soft negative an-wer to the demands of the Kuropean business man. Scotty Montenh. who manages Kid Kaplan, gently suggested that Mascart go out and knock over a few preliminary boys tho Ridge-wood Grove before he began to demand more for a chance at the title than the champion was to receive. But M'sieu Mascart's representative merely smiled broadly, refused to recede from his stand, and went on his merry way. Which hinted troadiy that Mascart had no great inclination to mingle with Kaplan even for a fat loser's purse.

Miwart Would Rather Meet Johnny Dundee. NATUIIALLT, the fact that a Kuropean boxer, who may or may not be able to beat any of the first ten American fighters in his division, turned down a real offer to meet the recognized world's champion impels one to look around the wood pilo for the proverbial ctillud gentleman. In this particular caso the cnllud gentleman is not hard to find. What probably is Mascart's big idea is not at all hard to fathom. The probable truth of the matter is that Mamcart does not want to meet Kaplan at all, that he would rather tox the ancient Johnny Dundee and that he entertains fond hopes of beating Dundee and sailing back to his beloved France claiming the featherweight championship of the world.

It will be remembered that Dundee until a year ago held the featherweight championship of the world, and has not since been defeated at tho featherweight limit. Last fall Dundee handed in his resignation to the New York State boxing Commission. He stated that he was unable to make the required weight limit and figuratively threw his crown into the commission's back ard for them to dispose of as they t'esired. The New York State" Commission conducted an elimination tournament in which Kid Kaplan was the sole survivor. It is likely that in this particular case the old nxiom about a champion being a champion until he was knocked from under his crown has been thrown overboard.

For Kaplan seems to be rightfully regarded as tho feather One Good Meal Deserves Another It ia easy to get the good meal and many another at any one of our convenient locations.

Go To MONTE CARLO Spaghetti House i ii ia i I Clair J. Allen, physical director of Poly Prep for the past 18 years, and generally regarded as one of the ablest and most experienced dlree tors of physical education In the city, has resigned from tho faculty and will terminate his long affiliation with tho school in June. This announcement comes as a distinct surprise to tho student body and will bo a source of keen regret both to tho school and the many gen eratlons of alumni who have worked under his direction, both at the old and tho new school. Mr. Allen's successor has practi cally been selected.

Dr. Joseph Dana Allen, headmaster of the Dyker Heights institution. In discussing the matter today, said: "I have arranged for the appointment of Mr. Allen's successor, but I am awaitiiir a confirmation from the headmaster of tho school In which tho man I have in mind is serving at tho present time. I wrote to the prospective new physical training head and he has accepted the position.

It would bo unethical on my part to talk with the new man until I have heard from his headmaster. As soon as I get the offlrial confirmation it will be announced." Started at Poly In 10J. Clair J. Allen, physical director at Poly from 1907-1925, received his technical training from the New York Normal School of Gymnastics, from New York University and from Columbia. His early experience includes service in the third expedition to tho Philippine Islands during the Spanish-American War, where he fought under Admiral Dewey and General McArthur, in the capture of Manila.

During this period ho acquired the C. J. Allen. title of champion middleweight boxer and wrestler of his regiment. After returning to America he assisted with the physical training work in the Institute for the Deaf and Dumb in this city.

Then followed various experiences as director of gymnastics and coach of foot ball at Iowa University, director of physical training at the Collegiate School and at Dwight School in New York, and assistant track coach at New York University. He came to Poly Prep In 1907. During the first ten years his work included the physical training and coaching of the Poly Institute teams as well as the physical training work of the Prep School. When the school moved to Dyker Heights under the rew name of the Country Day School, he was appointed head of the department of physical education. He at once started to build up the new organization, the result of which speaks for Itself when compared with the large prep and high schools of the East.

Probably the secret of much of the success of the school in its varied line of competitive sports lies in the completeness and etliciency of the organization among the younger boys, who get such practical training in league teams, games and competitions of all kinds that they are able to make tho first teams at Poly while young, and arc equipped at the beginning of their freshman year at college to contest for places on the college teams. Dcveloperl Noted Athlelos. Suoh athletes as Butler, Bomeisler, the Bronder brothers, Vernon, Cul-len, Jelllffe, Oenthner, Klelnort. La Vin, "Nat" Pendleton, Green, Koch and others, whose names have gone down in tho athletic history of the school, have been products of the hyslcal training system for the past 18 years. For many years Mr.

Allen has held the license of principal of physical training in the city schools, with which he has been closely associated. Upon retiring from Poly he will continue his work in that system, he-sides taking under consideration several other opportunities to engage In teaching or In business. Tho best wishes of all members tf the school, the faculty and the alumni go with him Into whatever new field of endeavor ho may choose. II. 'A.

Tuttlc Pays Tribute. In an editorial In tho Polyiron, the school weekly, containing the announcement of Mr. Allen's resignation, H. A. Tuttle, HNsistant to Headmaster Dr.

Joseph Dana Alfen, and chairman of the athletic committee, says: "However great tho fame of a school may be, to most of Its alumni their individual tie is in personalities rather than in its material characteristics. With years of close association, many and varied experiences bind us as students to our teachers, and the fruits of such contacts are both strong and subtle. We often fail at the moment to recognize that such an occasion is an experience of Importance, but in pcrspecllve things KKSTATOA NTS MA WH TT pes j- Id law' at Poly Prep must have been." Another Tribute. Another editorial following that tjy Mr. Tuttlo says: "The resignation of C.

Allen from the Poly faculty leaves a hole that will be hard to fill. Tar 18 years he has quietly and efficiently directed the multifarious athletic activities of tho school In such a wise and Capable manner as to give Poly l'rep a distinction that is unique in the world of school sports. "He has. watched over and safeguarded th health of tho boys Intrusted to liis care so efficiently as to save many from years of future ailments due to physical defects and turned out generations of school boys robust rn body and sound in health, to face life and its problems. "He has put the stamp of a vigorous and manly- personality upon Poly ideals of spoctsmanshlp.
