Local Sporting News.
For some time the young men of
Buchtel college have held a griev-
ance against the authorities because
they were not allowed the privilege
of the gymnasium.
This is due to the numerous depre-
dations committed by students of
former years and the present student
body believe that they are being per-
secuted for the ofienses of their pre-
decessors.
Now that the college has a first
class foot ball team the use of the
gymnasium is Indispensable. Mon
day Manager Robinson and Captain
Price, in behalf of the team, took the
matter before President Priest. It is
believed that the difficulty will be
satisfactorily adjusted, as the college
authorities are in hearty sympathy
with the foot ball movement.
Tuesday Manager Robinson re-
ceived challenge from Heidelberg
university of Tiffin. An effort is be-
ing made to bring Baldwin-Wallace
here in the near future.
Simms VS. Laylgne.
Walter Burgo's engagement to
meet John Jenkins at Grand Rapids,
Mich, on Nov. 21, means that the
Youngstown man will not meet Art
Simms, the Akron featherweight, on
that date at Massillon. The club,
however, has secured an even strong
er attraction in Dave Lavigne,
featherweight champion of New
England, to meet Simms, and as the
contest will be more even in the
matter of weight than the proposed
match with Burgo, and as Lavigne
is the cleverer boxer of the pair, he
will make more satisfactory show
ing than Burgo, whose injured arm
would probably interfere with his
best efforts.
Lavigne some time ago chal-
lenged Simms, winner to take all but
railroad expenses, and it was hoped
that they would meet at Akron in
the future. The withdrawal of
Burgo, however, has given Lavigne
the chance of meeting Simms sooner
than was anticipated and he has
wired his acceptance and will finish
his training at Massillon if suitable
place can be found. He will be ac-
companied by his manager, John J.
Flaherty, who under the name of
''Maffitt" Flaherty, was at one time
considered the foremost middle
weight in America. The chances
are that Martin Flaherty. one'of the
foremost featherweights in the
world, will be with Lavigne and will
challenge Simms, In case the for
tunes of war are with the Akron lad.

emy of Hudson played the Rayen
