SCRAP OYER COACHING
QUESTION OF RETENTION OF

TY CIRCLES.
New York Sun Special Service,


Madison, Wis, Dec, 10.-The ath-
letlc department of the Wisconsin
university is torn and rent over the Sc
lection of an assistant football coach
for next year. Politics of various
lines state, city, university and fra
ternity, have entered into the contro-
versy, which is daily growing more
acute. One element wants to continue
the present system Of coaching with
Curtis, Wisconsin man, as head
as assistant coach. The other element
wants to make the system an entirely
graduate one.
Among the latter element are sew
eral candidates for the assistant
coachship, including Juneau, Driver,
Abbott. Lerum and Eddie Cochems.
Fogg would accept 1t if it were tend
cred him. OF these men, Driver,
Lerum and Fogg hold jobs in the
statehouse. Cochems is athletic di-
rector Of the agricultural college Of
North Dakota, and is a member of the
fraternity to which Curtis belongs. If
a complete graduate system Is adopt
ed there may be two or three paid as
sistant coaches. Opponents of the
complete graduate system, who want
Mccarthy retained, argue that mas
much as Curtis will not consent to
stay more than year longer, it will
be necessary for him to return to a
professional or semi-professional sys-
TEN In 1905 and that therefore it
would be better to stick to the pres
ent system.

The "Sleeping Sickness."

The British authorities in Uganda
are making great efforts to discover
the source Of the terrible Sleeping
disease" which periodically decimates
the natives of the territory and other
parts of Africa. The disease seems to
be caused by a small parasite in the
blood which could not be conveyed
from man to man. Consequently sus-
picion fell upon the tse-tse fly, which
is prevalent in that country. Some
of our nervous Americans would no
doubt be glad to find some germ which
would at least make them sleep for
eight hours out Of every twenty-four,
but these same men forget that golden
grain belt beer quiets the nerves and
produces a quiet, peaceful sleep that
rests both mind and body. No home
is complete without case of this
beer.

WRESTLING

Gene Cole, one of the best lightweight
wrestlers in this section. was very easy for
Max Luttbeg at the Dewey theater last
night. Luttbeg undertook to throw Cole
in fifteen minutes forfeit $25, and he
turned the trick in two minutes and forty
five seconds. Cole showed great skill in
breaking holds, but the little demon
soon had the local man at his mercy.
Tonight Luttbeg will meet A. Fl. Eel
key, champion lightweight of the north
west. The conditions are the same as last
night, Luttbeg forfeiting s25 if he fails
to secure a fall in fifteen minutes The
match should prove an interesting one.
Tomorrow night Charles Moth agrees to
throw Luttbeg in fifteen minutes.
