Champ Will Fight
for Tex Rickard
I.os Angeles. Dec. 11.—Reports sup
tnsedly from Tex Rickard that he has
signed Jack Dempsey for a. fight with
Tom Gibbons In New' York on Inde
pendence day are unfounded.
"D?mpsey has no fight in sight
r.or thought of one,” said Jack
Kearns, the champion's manager, in
denying tonight the report.
"If Rickard offers u.s sufficient
»► money and his offer is not topped by
any reliable promoter we will fight
Gibbons for him.
‘‘Dempsey and I hope to get In two
big bouts this year—no more. If we
do, Uncle Sam will get most of it.
Retween us we paid $160,000 income
tax this year.
"I believe a Dempspy-Gibbons fight
would draw, but we want a big fat
purse for that scrap. Call me any
thing you like, hut I'm out to make
motley. So is Dempsey. So Is every
other sensible guy in the world. If
Dempsey draws a million dollar gate,
he demands the lion’s share of It.
And • if he doesn't get It he won't
fight. And wherever the purse comes
from we don’t care.”

Tiger Eleven Stranded Last
Time Extended Trip (fas Taken
□OM .MRIV Mn„ Dej. 11—Money
Is available for football almost
without stint in thrse days of
million dollar stadiums errcted to the
ever-increasing popularity of the
game but there was a time—less than
30 years ago—when the I'niversity of
.Missouri players financed a quest for
laurels away from home by doing
odd jobs.
This year the Tigers will travel
to Los Angeles to play the I'niversity
of Southern California, Christmas
day, and it has been estimated un
officially that Missouri will be en
riched approximately $75,000 by the I
trip.
The last time the Jllssourl eleven!
ventured far from home was In 1S96
and It was a different story then.
The Tigers journeyed to Texas and
defeated the University of Texas, 10
to 0. Promoters of Texas induced
the team to go to Mexico City and
play some exhibit on games.
But In those days the Tigers were
not supported by an organised ath
letic department and the team lacked
the money to make the trip possible.
However the players remained in
Texns, working at odd jobs and play
ing exhibition gnmes for their meals
and rooms. They defeated all op
ponents. and were declared cham
pions of the south.

Schools in Russia
Russia, having been one of the crudest ruled countries, its
people have not had much chance at schooling. The rich people
• have long had splendid schools, but the millions of poor peasants
have been left uneducated. During the years just before the
i war, lower grade schools were started in large numbers and
| now the Bolsheviki claim that they ve doing much to spread
I learning over all th* vast country. The revolution in 1917,
when the czar was thrown out, was carried on by the poorer
"classes who had long been downtrodden and kept in ignorance.
Conditions in Russia are so unsettled, we
cannot tell what the future of its schools
will be.
