#
TAMPA, Fla. July 23. (/?)— Gene
Tunney, who has a liking for things
literary, as well as pugilistic, appears
to have inspired a young collegian to
become the World’s, heavyweight
champion.The would-be champion has
a schoolastic standing which won him
membership ia two honorary societ
ies.
Benjamin Pound is his name. He
grew up in the same Greenwich Vill
age which now boasts of Tunney. Two
years ago, when Gene was in Florida,
Pound, a student at Rollins College,
met him and there decided to follow
a ring career.
“Big Ben,” as Pound is best known*
came to Florida the year before. As
a football star and leader of the col
lege boxing team he did not want to
lose his amatuer standing. He per
mitted Tampa promotors to match him
with eight opponents, however, with
the understanding he was not to
“knock down” any money. Only one
fight lasted more than one round. |
“Big Ben” knocked them out.
“K| 0.2 Brennon, of New York, who
remained a round and one minute
with Pound in their first fight came
back for a return engagement. “Big
Ben*’ broke his left hand in the sec
ond round, but with his right knocked ;
dowm Brennon three times in the re
maining four rounds and won the de
, . 1
cision.
After finishing his junior year in
college with a scholastic average of
92, Pound decided to become a pro
fessional. In his first fight for money
he knocked out Bumbo Myers of Can
ton, O., in twTo minutes and three sec
onds.
“Big Ben” weighs 195 pounds and
stands six feet two inches. He will
be back next September for his senior
year.
CHINESE CHARIOTS OF
»B, C. ARE FIND
WASHINGTON, July 23. (/P)—
While Chinese armies are engaged in
civil warfare with modern weapons,
American archeologi'its nave brought
to light two Chinese war chariots, i
2,500 years old. The chariots, j
which were excavated by Smithson- 1
ian Institution scientist near Cheng
Chow, Homan Province, indicate that
the ancient Chinese civilization an
tedated the western civilization in
the use of wheeled vehicles. The
Chinese chariots, the archeologists
assert, date back to 500 B. C., the
: latter part of the Chou dynasty,
while the earliest wheeled vehicles
found in the western section of the
world date back to 400 B. C.
THREE MEN IN A BOAT
MOSCOW, July 23. (JP)—Three

Sea. They are artists from the Mos
cow Art Theater. Their route will

Nijni-Novgorod, thence down the Vol
ga to Astrakan. They expect to com
plete the trip in a month.
In 1926 there were 400,000 head of
reindeer in Alaska, about two—thirds
of which were owned by Eskimos.
