Foolish Fears.

1t seems to us that some of the col
lese presidents are permitting their
apprehensiveness to get the better of
them when they express the fact that
the colleges will be studentless in
few years unless the graduates raise
families and send their boys to alma
mater. 1t is easy to demonstrate that
any healthy boy can be taught a class
yell in fifteen minutes. if proper pa,
uence and ingenuity are exercised.

Arkeeche, who was bitten. they de-
clared. because the Great Spirit

Degrees of Intoxication,

The ancient problem. When is

him down when time was called, leav
ing Larson the winner.
After the match Mcmillan offered to
bet 800 that he could throw Larson and
Lewis each once in an hour. The bet
was promptly accepted and the match
arranged for Saturday night with the
admission fee of 80 cents, no reserves.
The lower price of admission had the
effect of bringing out a larger audience
than had assembled at any of the pre-
vious contests, and much enthusiasm
was manifested. Prof. Lewis was the
first man to meet the champion and
proved. to be very expert at standing
the big fellow off However, Mcmillan
finally got one of his you-can't getaway
holds and Lewis went to the mat after
% minutes of good sport.
After ten minutes rest Mcmillan took
up the game with Larson, having 80
minutes wrestling time in which to down
him. But Larson took things very cody
and acted more on the defensive than in
the Thursday night match, when he
tried hard to throw the Canadian. When
time was called Larson was still free,
thus making Mcmillan again the loser.
After the match Mcmillan stated that
Larson was one of the best men he had
ever gone against in his class, and said
that when DeRay had his return match
here with the local man about Thanks
giving time, that he was willing to bet
800 that Larson would win.
