Show CHICAGO IS PLACED 1H A BAD LIGHT Although it is stated that the charges of professionalism against Hugo Besdek of the University of Chicago, preferred by the University of Illinois, ; will be thoroughly investigated, it does not leave Chicago in very good odor with the institutions with which she has athletic relations. Bezdek is charged with having fought a number of prize fights under the name of Young Hugo. He admits that he has fought several times before the Watatia league of Chicago, but claims that he fought under his own name and did not receive any money. It seems rather a queer amusement for a college athlete to meet professional profession-al prize-fighters" in the ring, and bum preliminary prize-fighters, at that. -If Bezdek did not receive any money, his opponents purely did, and he put himself him-self in a position where his amateur standing can be questioned, to say the least. |
