SEATS ARE SELLING FAST
Great Interest Is Taken in Athletic
Exhibition at Minneapolis Ath-
letic Club Oct. 81.

Preparations are practically COM
pleted for the athletic entertainment
to be given at the Minneapolis Athletic
club on the evening of Oct. 81. This
entertainment will mark the formal
fall opening of the club, which now
the event have been selling fast, and
it is probable that everyone of the 700
seats in the main hall of the club will
be occupied.
A. H. Felkey< of this city, who claims
the lightweight wrestling Champion
ship of the northwest; is working hard
for his match with Martin Juhre Of
ST. Paul. This match, which will be
one of the features of the program, is
best three falls in five, catch-as-catch
can, for purse of 500 and side
bet. Felkey is wrestling an hour a
day at the club, taking on four men
for quarter of an hour each in rapid
succession. He expects to be in the
best condition on the evening of the
contest.
Juhre is a great favorite in st. Paul,
and the members of the st. Paul
Athletic club have taken a block of
LOO seats for the evening. tt is prob
able that considerable money will be
Wagered on the outcome of this match.
A. B.. Mollett, fencing champion of
the northwest, is working hard also,
in preparation for his bout with Pro-
fessor F. r. LeRoux, Mollett's old rival
for the championship. The two ara
expected to give a very fast exhibi-
ton.
The. star event Of the evening will
be six round boxing contest for
points between Martin Duffy of Chi
cago and Tony Caponi. Duffy is adj
mitted to be the best welterweight in
the country, barring Joe Walcott.
Caponi is a, clever middleweight, and
the two will undoubtedly give a very
spirited exhibition.
Besides these three contests there
will be a number of exhibitions of
gymnastic work, and Jeff Thorne, for
year sparring partner of Fitzsim-
mons, and formerly amateur heavy
weight champion Of Great Britain.
will give an exhibition of boxing with
a clever local amateur. AS this will
be the first time Thorne has ever
boxed In public in this city, considers
able interest is manifested in the
event.

EXPECT HIGH AVERAGES
Billiard Enthusiasts Look for Some
High Glass Play in North
western Tournament.

The billiard tournament which is to
be held in Fargo, Duluth and Mime
apolis next month for the cham pion-
ship of the northwest promises to be
one Of the most successful ever seen
in the United States, outside Of nation
list includes Charles Peterson OF
Fargo, w. F. Hatley of. Duluth, and
Charles Ferris, George Spears and
Frank Billiter Of Minneapolis. ALL
five of these men have been playing bill
lizards Of class which entities them
to rank with the best shortstops in
the country. 1t is probable that the
winner will have to make a grand av-
erage of over fifteen, since all of the
quintet are going we'll above ten in
practice, and some of them have made
grand averages as high as twenty in
or match games.
The tournament will consist Of
twenty games, each man playing each
of his opponents twice, or eight games
for each man. Five matches will be
played in Fargo, Nov. 2, 8 and 4; five
in Duluth, Nov. 4, 5 and 6, and ten in
Minneapolis, Nov. 9, 10, II, 10 and 13.
The handsome championship trophy
lender company, and the cash prizes,
will be awarded according to the per-
|centage of games won and lost. There
lis cash purse of $500 to be divided
so, 80 and 20 per cent.
At present the championship of the
northwest is held by w. F.Hatley, who
won the title and the trophy of the
k-Balke-Collender company
at the tournament held two years ago.
in which Hatley, Peterson, Spears and
Charles Glow of st. Paul competed,
Spears taking second money and Pet
erson third. This trophy is now Hat
| leys personal property, but new
emblem has been offered for the tour
nament this month.
The advance in the standard of bile
lizards in the northwest is shown by the
fact that Hatley won the champions
ship two years ago with a grand av-
erage approx mating ten, whereas last
year he won one of the special tourna-
ments, in which he, Spears, Ferris and
peterson competed, with an average
lapproximating twenty. Hatley is ex-
/ pected to take a high rank in the COM
Ing contest. Ferris, the youngest Of
the five contestants, has been making
averages of twenty right along in
practice, and is practically certain to
get a slice Of the money. Among the
local billiard enthusiasts he is a favor
!. lite for the championship. Peterson is
playing high grade Of billiards, and
should be well up at the finish. Spears
has been more successful in match
games than in tournaments, but he
will probably be we'll UP in the sum-
mary, at the close.
The Minneapolis games will be
played at the West hotel parlors.

PENNSY'S RISE And FALL
Slump Of Quaker University in Ath-
letics Is the Sensation of i
- -. ..
t. q UecaQe. =:

: The slump" or to be more elegant,
the collapse, of the athletic supre-
macy Of the University of Pennsyl-
vania in the last three years is one of
the, most interesting, and sensational
features Of the recent history of inter-
collegiate rivalry afield and afoat.
There have been other shifting tides
In college prestige, such as the period
] of misfortune which overlook Yale
, a few years ago, from which she rail-
lied in brilliant fashion. The ath-
1etic career of Harvard has not been
sufficiently consistent in the present
generation to mark, with notable dis
! tinction. an ebb and high-water mark.
IRA But. in the case OF Pennsylvania,
? the climb toward the pinnacle was as
the top, and the steep descent down
the other side. 1t is probable that
) the present situation is temporary,
and that the red and blue will again
take place among the leaders where
: the university belongs, by virtue Of
resources. During a period Of more
than five years PENNSYLVANIA was en-
titled to her claim Of being one Of
the foremost, and some Of this time,
the first of the universities in Football
rowing and track athletics.
Pennsylvania has been handicapped
In the development Of her athletic in
.terests by the fact that she reversed
the normal order Of growth among
American universities. She was uni
versity before she was a college, while
Yale. Harvard and Princeton ex-
banded from colleges into universities.
ss The result is that the community
spirit and the close-knft loyalty Of
the student body which is bred Of
the campus. the dormitory life and
the predominant influence Of the I'M
dergraduate world was lacking, as is
the situation at Columbia for the
same reasons.
A system wherein a branch OF sport
lis dependent on one specialized coach
and he in turn upon certain players
to make successful use Of his teach
j, tngs Is preparing for an ebb-ttde in
its prestige, and it may be a long
time before the tide turns again to-
ward success Other universities
have been taught this lesson but none
In such wholesale measure as Penn
sylvania. Criticism is not fair, how
ever. without taking into. account the
rapid growth of the college depart
ment Of Pennsylvania, It's membership
u last year aggregating nearly 1900 stu
{, dents; the building Of the new gymna-
SUM and the increase in the COM
rnunity spirit. These are important
factors in the hopeful outlook for the
athletics Of the university toward a
new period of success, built on less
spectacular but more solid founda-
tons Ralph D. Paine in the Illus

IOWA IS ALL STIRRED UP
Hawkeyes Resent the Demand That

Special to The Journal.
Iowa City, Iowa, Oct. 10,-The caus-t
tic criticism of Fred Lowenthal, con-
corning the Iowa football team, which
was recently made public, and his
demand that the Hawkeyes be dropped
from the Big Nine, y are evoking
much bitter comment in Iowa City. s
Manager Spanglert of the Iowa team,
when interviewed to-day, gave out the
following statement
Mr.. LowenthaIs criticism is only
worthy of attention because it may
awaken the old discussion concerning
the possible dropping of Iowa from
the conferences.
1t was not so many years ago that
Iowa defeated Illinois So to 0, and Mr..
LoWenthal doubtless recalls the occa-
sion plainly, as he was a member of
the team that the Hawkeyes walloped
so numerically.
And yet Illinois was not cast out
of the conference, and Iowa never

her in that respect
