Commercial Tendencies in Football Deplores
Chicago March 28 Commercialistic tendencies in collegiate football and the lack of equal opportunity for western conference teams were deplored in a statement of recommendations of the alumni committee of Chicago on conference football schedules made public today. The committee explained it did not criticize any conference member and its recommendations did not bind any institution. The committee represents only various alumni organizations here. Too much importance was paid to the gate receipt and scheduling has not been sufficiently organized. Universities favorably located to attract large crowds have been able to dictate opponents without regard to rights of other conference members. It was added Intersectional games meet with the general approval of alumni providing they do not interfere with college work or with the conference football schedule.

Red Chapman to Claim Featherweight Title
Boston, Mar 28 Charlie Quardto, manager of Red Chapman of Chelsea, a featherweight who recently defeated Johnny Dundee in Boston, announced today Chapman would claim the world's featherweight championship. Dundee laid down the featherweight mantle months ago and would remain champion until defeated in competition by another boxer in the class. Kid Kaplan of Meriden, Conn., chosen from a New York tournament, has generally been recognized as featherweight champion. Chapman was within the featherweight limit at the official weigh-in, and by defeating Dundee he took over. Dundee’s claims to the title Cardio said. State boxing commissions cannot make world champions, and Daysides, because he was still in competition, remained champion until defeated. Now Chapman will claim the title because he has earned it.
