The Valley race jpow' seems nar rowed down to Missouri. Nebraska, the Kansas Aggies, with a slim chance for the Kansas Jayhawkers. . The comeback of the Ames quintet irom a poor start hag. been one ot the features of the race this season. Kansas, despite au auspicious start, Itas developed into a. team very little better than,, the early season form. The Kansas Aggies have a great offense and a stalwart defense. The long shooting of the Cowell brothers and the speed of Captain Bunger feature the Aggies' play. This week the Valley race "will, in all probability, be decided. .

Famous Chicago Fighter Gives Lewis Drubbiris: u Title Holder Cuffs Endisli- e men at Will and Nearly Has Challenger in Dreamland. " York, Feb. 8. Jack Briton, the world's welterweight champion, sus tained his right to the title by giv ing his old rival Ted Lewis one of the worst beatings that L:wis has ever been subjected to. The fight went the limit of IS rounds and with the exception, of the opening frame the Englishman was on the . end of a severe drubbing at the hands of the famous Chicago welterweight. There was never ! any question about Britton's superiority after the opening round. The champion cuffed the Englishman, at will and several .times appeared to have Ted on the verge of a knockout. During the second round it appeared for a while af thougn .the contest would break up in a free-for-all fight. Britton complained to the referee repeatedly that Lewis was resorting to foul means whenever they came to close quarters. The champion in sisted that the: Englishman was heel ing him with his glove and when the referee paid no heed to the pro tests of the welterweight champion, ths latter followed Lewis to ;the corner at the end of , the , second round and there berited him for al leged foul work. ;: Lewis'", response o ; Jack's protest was a lfft-liand hook to Jack's face which missed. Level head9 prevailed at this juncture and the seconds of both men led the combatants1 away before any further damage in that direction could be accomplished. It was a real savage affair fioni then oi'. Once in the fourth round Lewis slipped to the floor and while in a reclining position held his hands out for Britton to.assist him. The latter ignored the Englishman's overtures at any friendliness. Ted offered to shake hands with Jack on- regaining his feet and Jack once more ignored Ted's approaches.' Britton had a decided advantage in nearly every round and repeatedly coaxed Ted to. stay in and fight. "Don't run away." called Jack as the Englishman retreated under the cannonading of the American's, shots. It was not until the lltli round that Ted found his sense of direction and then he managed to get over several left-hand jabs to the champion's face, Outside of the opening round this appeared to be Lewis' best hand. He fought on even'terms during this frame but after that it- was Britton all the w;ay.- v" " At times during the contest Bnt ,ton made Lewis look ridiculous when the latter kept missing his left leads and wild plunges for Jack's ( ja.v The champion would step in, smash Lewis with his tantalizing left pokes and laughingly dance away while -Lewis wore the worried ex pression of a beaten boxer. Millrose Athletic Meet Attracts Many Trackmen New York, .Feb.
