Chicago to Build Stadium
New Structure to Seat 70,000 Ready by 1925 Season
(United Press)
Chicago, Dec. 9. -Another great stadium in the middle West, gratifying the dream of thousands of athletic fans, will be built and ready for use at the University of Chicago by opening a of the 1925 football season.
The stadium is to seat from 60,000 to 70,000 persons, twice the capacity of the present structure, which seats some 32,000, and which, during the last few years, has grown increasingly inadequate.
Besides the stadium, a field house is to be erected, to afford better facilities and increased attendance at indoor sports.
Unlike many similar structures at leading universities, the project is to be financed entirely from the university and not call for a cent from alumni.
Athletic Director A. A. Stegg and officials and trustees of the university participated in a study of American stadium before the announcement was made. Stagg in gathering data for the plan during the past year visited many great universities.
The new field house according to plans, will be ready for the in-loor track and basketball games next winter. "Bartlett Gym," like "Stagg Field," has fallen behind the university in its growth.
The stadium is to be a U-shaped concrete structure, with one side double-decked. Temporary seats can be installed at the open end of the U when needed. In the center will be the gridron, and gridding that, the track for the outdoor field meets. Part of the old stadium will be incorporated in the new. Actual construction will need to be sufficiently completed next fall, it is hoped, to accommodate more than 60,000.

Elimination Rounds for Boxing Champions May Start New Vogue
Old Rules May Be Supplanted by New Era in Prize Ring if Successful
(United Press)
New York, Dec. 9. — Success of the New York Boxing Commission in arranging the first of the elimination rounds in the tournament to decide the successor to the world's fetterweight championship may start a week later. Boxers vague because it is going along as it did fifty years ago.
Baseball rules keep abreast of modern conditions, football and basketball rules are continually changed, golf has been kept up to the t e a s , and tennis has had rule changes to meet new conditions. No serious attempt to modernize boxing was made until the Walker boxing bill was passed in New York. The old rules required each player to either by the boxes or the referee- and anything was allowed as long as it was above the belt.
From the case of Firpo and Wills, when Firpo's friends declared he was foiled many times and the referee decided otherwise, it seems that new understandable rules should be imposed. When Lewis was knocked out by Georges Carpentier when he had his heat, turned toward the referee. Of course, in a hard game like the boxing racket, a boxer is a sucker when he fails to keep his eyes on his man. There are occasions, however, when the referee can distract the attenuator of the fighters in the ring.
The idea of having judges to assist he referee in declaring a winner
when there is no knockout scored has its opponents although the merits of the new system are slowly proving themselves. Although laughed at by the critics, the New York commission succeeded in arranging a featherweight tournament for the championship vacated by Dundee. The six best contenders in the chase were Dundee and the tournament drew the biggest house of the season into the Garden and brought out one of the best cards of entertainment ever produced in the historic old arena.
Hitzz Completes Index of Statutes for Cities
A special index of the Kansas Statutes relating to cities has just been completed, under the direction of John G. Stutz, secretary of the Kansas League of Municipalities and director general of the municipal bureau of municipal research.
This index is far more complete than the index in the Revised Statutes, and with cross-indexing covers nearly 5000 entries, thus making it possible for city officials to find information they desire. For example, 170 separate sections of the statutes, in 15 different chapters, are indexed under the head of "misdemeanors." Harvey Walker, assistant secretary of the League of Municipalities compiled a publication, which is just off the press.
Moving pictures are being used this fall to help in the instruction of the football squad of Northwestern University.
