foot ball season in Akron. South
Ends have game with the Planets
Thanksgiving at which time the city
championship will be decided, pro-
vided South End does not go down
to defeat before that time.
The game promises to draw large
crowd to the Buchtel field Saturday,
and interest will be divided between
the North End-South End struggle,
and a contest between Buchtel
Academy ana Ravenna High school,
which will open the ball
WILL HE BE HEARD FROM.
Ohio athletic clubs are wondering
If Gov Nash will como out ms openly
and decisively against pugilism this
| winter, as he did last. There have
been those who attributed his recent
silence in the matter to the worries
of campaigning. Now that he has
been safely reelected, athletic club
managers who prepare for athletic
shows, In which boxing is to be
feature, do so with II painful realiza-
ton that they may hear something
drop.
SIMMS GOING WEST.
After this week, provided nothing
definite turns up III the way of a
match here, Art Simms will follow the
Course Of Empire and try for some
matches with the fighters who now
are located in the West,
In company with Eddie DeMarsh,
Slmms' present plans are to leave for
St Louis, Monday. The two will stop
there for u week or two, determine
thoroughly the chances for matches,
and If nothing turns up, will proceed
to San Francisco.
There has been pilgrimage to that
mecca for warm winter seekers from
all over the country, and n great many
lighters are now gathered ut Frisco
: for the RuhlinJcfl'rics fight. Snms
and his partner believe that many
of the fighters will stay in san Fran
cisco after the fight, and that
they may make some good matches
for the fast Akron man.
There seems to be no immediate
Duffy, and Simms believes Ire can
earn many dollars In California before
the end of the year.
Young Gibbs Is there and he
) wants 10 meet Simms very much
Gibbs Is rated good one in the West
and good purse could easily be se-
cured for Il go,
= Art says he will fight Gibbs, II the
: latter approaches his weight.
. LOOKS BAD FOR FOOT BALL.
The North End men had every in
tcntIon of going 'out for field prac
. ticc hast night, but the snow and bad
q weather came before they accomplish
e ed much Signal practice and inter
. ference Is worked on whenever pos.
. sible and the organization intends To
1 become almost letter perfect, with
D reference TO the outward form of the
. game If they should defeat the
i South Ends, the order of foot ball
e events in Akron would be reversed
g and the North Ends, instead of having
l almost 10 beg for games, would have
a To withstand regular siege. If the
snow continues. however. there viii
be no chance for an argument and
, the game might have TO he postponed
from date to date, and never be play

q BuCHTEL ACADEMY.
The Buchtel Academy team has
tried hard 10 uphold the honor of the
I school in athletics this season, despite
the fact they have received question:.
: BILE support. both from the college and
@ the public. They have an excellent
o foot ball team, although its mem
II bers are too Hight to stand much of
d show against any of the Akron
e teams.
IS Buchtei Academy has practiced
h faithfully and played conscientious
1t ball and although their efforts have
n not been altogether successful, they
Is have earned the respect of those who
IL nave watched their progress.
