proposition to Green for a return match
with Walcott, the dusky lad to weigh in
t the ringside at 140 pounds and Green
to weigh what he pleased. This PROPOSE
ton, according 10 the journal, was de-
clined by Green.
The statement is erron" Gus. The facts,
Green states are these: O Rourke met him
ana broached the match. Green con-
sented to meet Walcott for a second time,
the bout 10 take place in the latter part OF
next January or the first part OF FeDru-

ORourke would not agree to these
terms. he wanted the men to meet q
week from Thursday.
This WAS Impossible, as Green is suffer
ing from several boils, and he believes
that thi-ty-six will come in row.
Now WaIcott is matched to fight that
doughty warrior, Lavigne, again.
Green stated last night that whatever
might be the outcome of the Ryan-Green
match or the outcome of the Lavlgne-
Walcott fight he would fight the colored
lad again. Green, in view of O'Rourke'
talk, insists that the match shall be made.

tors themselves or not.
ODDS offered and asked are taken as q
significant indi alton OF the relative
strength of the two great teams. Though
comparatively little money has yet been
placed, and none regularly and system
atlcally, enough wagers have been made
to show something of how the feeling is
running.
Hockheimer of Berkeley recently put
ur 500 to cover 5000 offered by several
Stanford partisans in this city Nichols
Of Cornell, following Tommy" Codes
tlp, placed $50 up against a Berkeley stu
dents $40. DR.. Soper of this city has
wagered 500 to $75 that Stanford will
win.
One OF the local newspaper men has up
quite sum on an even bet that Stanford
VIII win by margin of at least Is points,
Since the last Relian ce- Stanford game he
has modified this IN an even thing that
Stanford will come out 10 po nts to the
coed.
OonO 1Ai'i, anu
former track athlete, who has on former
occasions taken prominent part among
the packers of Berkeley teams, is asking 3
to l. and not getting hint o. it.
There are other reports of small bets
that Stanford will win by twelve or more
points.
California men are asking for 3 to and
to odds, but are not getting any. On the
other hand Stanford partsans are hold
ing out for even money or something
close to it. Some have declared that 10 to
Is all they would give; others are say
Ing 1t is only 7 10 shot that Stanford
will WIN.
A growing undercurrent of feeling seems
10 be spreading among the Berkeley men
tnat tney are not so badly off as has bean
supposed and that there is a decent
chauce for this team to win.
Inc only bets so far reported at even
money are those in which college pride
has been the incentive at the Berkeley
end.
