Washington, March 20.-Four reels
of the famous fight films "deal" were
run off today before the Dai~gherty
investigating comnmittee by Tex Rick-
ard the promotor and Thomas G. Spell-
acy, a former department of justice
~gent.
Their testimony partly corroborated
and partly conflicted with previous
stories told the committee. In his
nightly .statement summing up the
day's development, Attorney General
Daugherty declared that Rickard had
eurteimexhibtions" ad th1at Spell-
acy's-testimony was "hearsay."
Rickard Testifies
Rickard in two lively hours on the
stand told of his part in the contract
for wide spread exhibition of the Dem-
psey-Carpentier fight films in 1921
'but said he had been 'bunked" by his
associates, had. made little money,
and had been twice fined for his part

Spring Plowin
Detains Cooley
"Down On Farms"
Preparations for spring farming
and other business duties have de-
layed Dean Mortiner E. Cooley of
the engineering college, at his fu-
ture home 'at Canandagua, N. Y., and
he has wired that he will tiot return
here before the first of the week.
Dean Cooley left here one week
ago expe~Zting to be gpne only a few
days and this is ther second time
word has been received stating that
the-'coming of spring demanded his
attention to the farm, orchardt and I
:berry' bushes. He is at present plan-
ning the planting of a large number
aviore than 20 candidlates for the
Varsity tennis team met at 7:30
o'clock last night in room 306 of the
Union, in a movement which inaugur-
ated the 1924 conference tennis sea-
son.
The meeting was presided over by
Assistant Coach George Little, who
gave a brief talk concerning the
status of tennis on the various cam-
puses of the conference universities,
and of the value'#of training for the]
sport, saying that "to be a good man
in any branch of athletics requires
strict adherence to the ordinary rules
of correct litring." He also pressed
the increasing importance of tennis
as a major sport, and traced the de-
velopment of the game at Michigan
since its inception here some years
ago. ..
John Rorich '24D, captain of this
year's Varsity team, also spoke, and
gave a short resume of the activities
of the squad last year.
Playing will start at once, and the
concrete courts are already in con--
ditlon for the preliminaries, it Is
hoped that all interested in trying
out for the Varsity will preen
themselves either to Coach Little or
Rorick. The first game on the sched-
ule is at Indiana, on April 19.
