California were playing their annual
football game last November at
Berkeley, the athletic authorities of
California anti Stanford passed
around the press stand a statement
explaining that neither California
nor Stanford would meet U. S. C. in
! future sports, because of differences
| in the construction of rules relating
to eligibility.
It was indicated yesterday that
Stanford probably would have a
track meet with Southern California
in the spring and visit it for a foot
, ball game at Los Angeles next fall.
At Berkeley it was explained that
California already had a full sched
ule in basketball, baseball, track
and football and would be unable to
meet U. S. C., before next year.

DEMPSEY’S MARRYING
WILL MEAN MORE
POWER TO HIS PURSE
If Jack Dempsey’s retirement is
true and he does not engage in
another battle lie will go down in
history as the first of the modern
heavyweight champions to step out
of the ring with his crown in his
hands. Those who have gone be
fore him went down fighting.
Sullivan, Corbett, Fitzsimmons,
Jeffries, Hart, Burns, Johnson and
Willard all lost their titles in the
ring. True, Jeffries retired unde
feated and Hart claimed the title.
But after Hart had been knocked
out by Burns and Johnson had
tagged Burns all over the world and
knocked him out the public still
hailed Jeffries as champion. It was
then that he attempted to come
back and fell before the cunning and
snap punches of Johnson.
It seemed fitting to most fans
that the heavyweight champion, of
all the kings, should go down fight
ing. Shifting of the title in the
ring leaves no cause for argument
as to who the logical wearer of the
crown should be. More than that,
it leaves no doubt as to whether the
man who takes up the ermine robe
could have dropped his predecessor
in a fair battle.
Of course, the motives that
prompted some of Dempsey’s pre
tlecessors to defend their titles in
the bouts that spelled defeat can
be questioned.
Johnson was on his uppers when
he signed to risk his title against
Jess Willard. The negro was a
man without a country. The fight
was staged in Havana so that he
would not have to face arrest in the
U. S. on federal charges. There
was even talk, at the time, that the
fight was not n the up and up, as
far as Johnson should be won.
Big Jess himself detested fighting
and the days of irksome training
each battle called for. It is gener
ally conceded that the money offered
him alone coaxed him into his fight
with Dempsey.
Once in the ring, however, he went
down fighting as a champion should.
The punishment that big hulk took.
I still boil when I hear some wise
crackers who say he laid down.
The others, however, fought for
j the love of fighting.
| Sullivan, Fitzsimmons and Corbett
fought for love of fighting. Jeffries
came out of retirement in a sincere
effort to bring the world’s heavy
weight championship back to the
white race.
Can it be that the present of this
long line of fighting monarchs will
take the easy way out? Something
tells me he won’t. Sooner or later
he will step into the ring again. And
the last time will come when he
meets the man fit to win the title
by dethroning the champ.
If Jack Dempsey isn’t sincere
concerning his announced retire
ment he has just pulled a master
stroke in marrying while the talk
regarding his departure from the
boxing game is still general.
The fact that he is now a mar
ried man should mean close to $100,
000 more to the champin, should he
re-enter the ring in defense of his
title. For one reason alone.
He can point out to promoters
the fact that he married when he
did because lie was through with

the ring game—that one of his
promises to his wife was that lie
would not re-enter the game she is
said to dislike. The ante will have
to be raised so high that Mrs.
| Dempsey can be made to sanction
the match from the standpoint of
I t business opportunity.
A match and the weeks of rigid
training it would demand would
mean the altering of many “def
inite plans for the future,” Demp
sey can tell the press, with reason.
In other words Mrs. Dempsey now
becomes a living argument in Demp
sey’s favor when Tex Rickard or
anyone else tries to tempt Jack out
of retirement.
And the interesting part of it is
that Dempsey and Estelle Taylor
engineered this little idea. Jack
Kearns had no part in it.
New Design Propeller
for Steam Vessels Is
Declared Be Success
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON,
Seattle, Mar. 5.—A new type of pro
peller for steam vessels, invented by
Prof. F. K. Kirsten, of the local elec
trical engineering department, which
has proven successful over an actual
running test of three years, was an
nounced here the other day. The
propeller is said'*to be a radical de
parture from the conventional de
sign.
It is placed in the after part of
the boat, its blades extending verti
cally through the bottom of the boat
into the water. The main shaft
from the motor always revolves in
the same direction, but the angle of
attack of the blades can be changed

line of thrust in any direction on a
horizontal plane.
W. E. Boeing, president of the
Boeing airplane company of Seattle,
has financed the development and
it is said that United States naval
authorities have asked for designs.
The advantages of the new pro
peller over the old style are summed
up as follows: An efficiency of 80
per cent compared with the 60 per
cent efficiency of the older design;
elimination of the rudder on vessels;
protection of blades in shallow wa
ters; replacements possible without
making the vessel into dry-dock;
complete control over the large ship
even when not under headway.
WOMEN IN SWEDEN PAID
ON EQUALITY WITH MEN
STOCKHOLM, Mar. 3.—Sweden’s
working women have scored an im
portant victory through the oficial
recognition by the government of the
principal of equal pay for men and
women in the employ of the state.
The recognition appears in the form
of a recommendation submitted to
ihe Riksdag by Minister of Finance
Thorsson, along with the estimate for
the next state budget.
In justifying his proposal Mi.
Thorsson points out that the civil
service law virtually gives women
the same privileges and responsibil
ities as men, so far as the actual
work is concerned, and it is logical,
therefore, that the salary of any
given position should remain con
stant, whether the service is render
ed by a man or a woman.
What makes the victory for the
women the more striking is the fact
thrf the budget estimate, in spite of
the strictest scrutiny of every item,
wil involve an es.i.n?te! expenditure
of $11,000,000 more than last year.
This means that, although no new or
increased taxes are contemplated,
all hope for any early tax reduction
must be abandoned.
The minister of finance character
izes the economic situation in Swe
den as generally good. He looks tor
stable conditions during the next
fiscal year and says that, if there is
any change, it is likely to be an im
provement.
Tom Mix gets $20,000 a week
while poor Gloria Swanson has a
new husband to support on only
$1,000 a day.
We feel safe in using a new hair
tonic, which is guaranteed to con
tain no barium, pyrogallic, anarcar
dium nor phenylenediamine.
Growing old is a slow process of
shedding enthusiasms.
