WBltOO HAS ZXFEBIXTrCE C
Welling has had far mora experience
than Ilarper. but Harper showed la hla
fight with Leach Cross that he hadn't
moca respect lor experience by out
witting th Veteran at aU stages of
their 10 roemd bent. Croea. a master ot
canning, found It almost Impossible to
connect with Ilarper effectively, and
WeI71ng another hard hitter, may find
It emUy difficult. lUrper has dls-
cioeea nai aa la a nartx mar for any
. en to btt and he win probably be as
lustre against WeQtng as be has been
agaiaat ethers.
A glance at Waiting's record convinces
en that Ilarper has no easy task. Save
for th dent chalked up against him by
Leonard, Writing's record is brilliant
It took; Leonard 14 rounds of the hardest
mQllng ha bad ever experienced to con
quer him. Johnny Dundee ha met him
several times and when Welling has not
held Dundee even he has been given the
decision. He ha fought Lew Tendler two
'"draws and Jo Hen Jam rn two draw.

Weight doeent seem to frighten Well

Harper's style of milling is said to be

Ring Fans Are Hard to Please

Boxers' Backers Cause Yelps
OUCH tunny decisions were banded
down by th bxing judges in New
Tork last year that Benny Leonard and
Jack Britton refused to risk their titles.
There was no hint of sharp practices.
rather the bad dedstans were aacribed;
to incompetency of the Judsea and laxity
of the commlseion in assigning th men
to the judging of Important con teats.:
CBITICS BErXTSE --"V?:-?:,
The commission, however, saw the
merits in the omapUtnta made by many
Of the . botxer and took means to cor
rect. whatever faulta they could find In
the operation of the law. -
Attempts were made to have many of
the prominent sport writers - take- oat
licenses and sit in the judges chain.
but met with no success., ,
Then the commission hit upon
sound Idea that has been .working well
from its start ' -
g Several, of the best referees were pre-;
vailed upon to take out licenses aa Judges
and they have been used outside the
ring. Patsy Haley and Kid SacPartlaatd.
two well known former boxers; and
referees, are doing the best work. When
one 'acts In the ring, the oher sits out
side as a judge. This plan has worked
so well that the boxers and managers
believe ft may be the solution."
KKGI.A5D HAS KICK" '
- In England many kicks have been
made recently - about , the - system , of
judging in vogue there now. It seems
that the practice of secret balloting
has been substituted for th former cus
tom -of publicly announcing the decision
of each judge and the referee, in the
case of, a diaagrement
Commenting on this receatly, Sporting
Life (London) eaidr
"The plain' and simple way is for
the master ef ceremonies to collect
the Judges papers and if they agree.
to make the announcements straight
away. If they differ, he should ask
the referee for his paper and then, after
comparing the three, he should be able to
declare the winner by a two-to-one ma
jority. The secret ballot, as the new
method m'ght be called, hardly seems
an acceptable way of solving th sys
tem of deciding by referee and judges
Jointly, end the sooner it is scrapped the
better people will like it A return to
th old way of judgment by th referee

TVTEW YORK. Jan. 28. Judges at box
ll ing contests realiaa that it Is im
possible to please everyone. Many time
under the boos and the Jeers from :he
gallery and the ringside they must be
lieve it Impossible to please anyone.
New Tork fans have been yelping
loudly about the incompetency of the
Judges officiating at some of the big
fifrhta and several champions say they
wilt not box for a decision.
O'ROCRKE IXFLAJjrS
Tom O'Rourke, veteran fight man
ager, wbo la now a member ot the state
commission, was asked for hi reason
why it was impossible to get Judges
that could give some satisfactory decisions.
"We think they have been giving con
sistently good decisions," he said. "The
fault lies in the Judgment of the specta
tors. Occasionally even experts will dis
agree, but In the majority ot cases
trained boxing men will see th same
polnta and arrive at the same conclusion.
"Th trouble results chiefly when two
popular boys are In the ring. On on side
of th house ar packed th partisan
backers of the one boxer and en the
other aid la th following of his op
ponent. Each 4 watches hla favorite.
They overrate every point th favorite
makes and underrate every move of bis
opponent They look at it from only
one point of view, their favorite baa to
win.
BETTORS THSORTT3TTLED
"Of course, the bettors have to be fig
ured in among the disgruntled ones. If
professional gamblers lose a bet they'll
always howL"
O'Rourke suggest a a remedy and
as a general Improvement In the game
that all the spectators keep score at a
boxing contest Ilk baseball fan do at
a came.
Points should be marked, he said, for
aggieeslveness and clean mtting; for
clever sparring and good defense and
should be subtracted for clinching, foul
ing, stalling snd holding when ordered
to break.
What constitutes points In boxing is
outlined In the following taken from
th rules of the New Tork commission :
POntT f LAW GTTK1T
The decision of the Judges shall be
baaed primarily on effectiveness, taking
into account the following points:
L A clean,. forceful hit. landed on
any vulnerable part of th body above
the belt should be credited In propor
tion to its damaging effect, .
2. Aggressiveness is next In Import
ance and points should be awarded to
the contestant who nffti the action
of a round by the greatest number of
skillful attacka
3. Defensive work la relatively Im
portant and points should be given tor
cjeverry avoiding or blocking a blow.
4. Points should be swarded where
ring generalship Is conspicuous.
5. It Is advisable to deduct points
when a contestant persistently delays
ta action of a contest by clinching snd
lack of aggressiveness.
DECISION OX FOEtTS
a. fomus snouia Be deducted lor a
foul even though it is unintentional
and not of a serious enough nature to
warrant disqualification.
7. A contestant should be riven
credit for aportamaalik actions in the
ring.
8. In order to arriv at a true con
clusion every point should be carefully
observed and noted as the contest
progresses, the decision going to the
contestant who scores the greatest num
ber of effective- points regardless of the
number of rounda won and lost. When
neither con tee tar. t has a decided margin
Ineffectiveness, th winner should be de
termined on points scored and of ag
' greasiveness."

these four Eastern universities have

as many as four men being chosen from
other elevens In 1901. 1903, 1908, 1908,
1912, 1913 and 1914. In 1915 there were
only three players from the larger uni

Harvard; in 1920 there were three and
this year there are but two, on each
from Tale and Harvard.- In all, 93 men
