WILL IMPROVE COLLEGE ATH.
LETICS.

EETICS.
We must revise our heretofore fixed
opinion that no good thing can come
out of the University of Chicago. AL
though that has proved itself to be
veritable college of fakirs, it is also
true that sometimes the fakir gets hold
of a good idea and a real truth, and
| finds that he can boost with it just as
well as with fraud or sensationalism
So the faculty of the University OF
Chicago, which has been devoting itself
for many months to sensational utter
ances of the most nauseous kind, pro-
duces in it's latest bulletin the idea Of
real reform by proposing to abolish
apid admissions to contests in which
university athletes compete.
This has been the desire of every
university alumnus for a great many
years. Things are, indeed, little bet
ter than they were a few years ago.
The system of having some Of the big
| universities in the country send their
football elevents to neutral grounds
away from the home Of either team
and there fight their battle before a
metropolitan crowd, going where they
could draw the most people and get
the most money, has been abandoned.
al
lege grounds, and that is so much gain.
The admission fee remains as the last
faint, of professionalism to be abol-
ished.
The immense interest that centers in
these college contests is just because
the professional element is absent. .Peo-
pie feel that these boys are doing their
best and giving themselves, up to the
very limit of their endurance, for the
glory and honor of the institutions that
they represent. They know that this
same spirit prevents resort to unfair
tactics without disgrace, and that the
result of a match will represent a fair
and actual test of skill. The possibility
of a financial arrangement between
them, which is never absent from
professional games, is unthinkable
here.
To maintain this interest, to keep
this honor unsullied, to make this sus-
picion always criminal, the colleges
should do away with the paid admis-
sion. The argument hitherto has been
that the funds so obtained were indis-
pensable to the maintenance and con-
duct Of college athletics. We think
that this argument has been used for
more than it is worth. Most of the
colleges and universities are now very
well provided with all the apparatus
needed for athletic practice The or
binary expenses can be betrayed by
subscriptions, to which thousands of
alumni would gladly contribute for
the purpose Of having admission
iture has to be cut down, it would be a
gain rather than a loss, as preventing
extravagant tendencies to which ath-
letic interests are liable, and which are
bound to injure them in the long run.
Every college man will feel delight
ed when it is impossible for anybody
to pay money in order to see an inter-
collegiate game. The universities
themselves will be prouder, the stand
ard in athletics will be raised, and no
body, except those who make living
out of athletics, will be loser. We give
credit to the University of Chicago for
this reform movement, and hope that
it will be adopted not only there but
by all the educational institutions of
the country.

What the Editors Say

What is there very surprising in the
fact that the Crookston Times and
the Bemidji Pioneer are both "out-
spoken for DUNN" Nearly all the
other newspapers throughout the
northern part of the state are equally
enthusiastic in their support of Mr..
Dunn and the only political signifi-
canoe that can be attached to this is
that they reflect the sentiment Of the
communities in which they are pub
lished. IF the Republican convention
were to be held this week there isn't
a doubt that every delegation in the
northern counties of the state would
be unanimous in it's support of Mr..
Dunn and it is hardly probable that
anything can occur to change this or
der of things during the next ten
monthS.-Crookston Times.

That officer and the state auditor are

business proposition to keep him for
at least six years. The offices of treas

One of the most important battles Of the
last week was that between George Gardner
and Marvin Hart at Louisville. "Wednesday
evening. in which Gardner received the YER
dict when Hart claimed that his hand was
broken in the twelfth round. From the
consensus of opinion, among the experts
present, Gardner had the better of the bout
before the accident.
Hart had a distinct advantage. in weight,
tipping the scales at nearly ten pounds
more than Gardner, ard went in to use his
advantage in avoirdupois early in the fight.
Both men attempted vicious hooks and
swings for one anothers heads early in the
battle. but neither was able to make con-
nectons. Hart then changed his tactics
and attempted a long range battle.
AT this game, he found Gardner somewhat
his superior. The latter blocked and slip
ped with great cleverness, getting inside
blows with considerable science and coun-
tering to Marvin's body In a vicious way.
This working on the stomach told on Hart's
condition towards the close and he showed
signs Of the fast pace.
Both men were very tired when the end
came. Harts hand was clearly in bad
shape and Referee Hurst decided that Card
ner was entitled to the verdict.
Jack O'brein, who had been matched to
fight Hart ten days hence. called off the
contest just before the Gardner-Hart battle,
stating that he would not be in shape to
