This natural safeguard is a fringe OF
reeds. which grows thiokly ou the Airi-

WRESTLING AT COLUMBIA.

Columbia is to have a wrestling team which will compete in an assocl- ation to be formed with Yale, Penn sylvania, Cornell and Princeton as members. George Fisher, formerly the partner of George Bothner, the lightweight champion, has been en- gagged to instruct the members of the Columbia club. As soon as a team can be formed a match with Yale will be held in four classes lightweight middleweight, weIterweight and heavyweight. Phelan Beale, 'O6 law; +. J. Echeverria, 'O8 college, and 1T. J. Naething, or law have been ap- pointed as committee to build up the team. Two years ago Columbia had a wrestling meet with Yale in which the Blue won a majority of the bouts This is the first time that there has been an attempt made to organize an intercollegiate assocla- ton. Yale was the first to make the suggestion. There are many men in Columbia who have had experience in wrestling, and the chances are that the college will be able to turn out a strong team

THE CENTRAL LEAGUE.

The above Is the name of the league in which young Sutton is doing such good work and the players in that league for the most part are all fa- Riliar to Waterbury lovers of the old game. Te8re Haute leads the league with a apercentage of 500 and in that team we have Hipson, first rush; Harkin, second rush; Hadley, center; Wood, halfback, aud Mullen, goal. Fort Wayne stands second in the league with a percentage of .597, only three points behind the leaders. In this team we find Jason, first rush; Leydon, second rush: Jimmy Cana the Waterbury boy, Sutton, at the goal, DanvilIe is the third in the standing and in this team are such men as Daily, first rush; Campbell, second rush; Murtaugh, center, Hardy iand MenaFd, halfhacks, and StarEie, goal. Lafayette comes next in order and this team is composed of Warner. first rush: Gavitt. second rush; Wiley, center; Devlin. shalfback, and Tibbitts, goal. Logansport stands next with Lincoln. first rush: Ole. second rush: Whiting, center: Griffith and Conway, halfbacks, and Berry, goal. Kokolno is next, but the only player that can be recalled just now who is familiar in the east is Dave Cusick, goal tend CT, about whom a little story will be told later. Indianapolis comes last with the following makeup: Tough ton, first rush; McGilvray, second rush: Coggshall and Moran, centers; O'Hara, halfback, and Harper, goal.

ing goal for the Fort Wayne, Indiana, team and In a recent game, here is what the Fort Wayne Evening Sen tinel has to say:
 4Fido' Sutton met every one of the thirty-four drives routed for goal dom by the Indianapolis squad last night. while the other members of the Fort Wayne team passed the Indians a brand of rapid floor work they mad not been accustomed to and managed to get six hung in the netting behind 'Cady' Harper, who was in charge of the visitors cage.
 "EOr two periods Handsome Nick McGilvray and his cohorts played the locals to a standstill and with the very best brand they had up their sleeves the champions could get only two goals and at that the gang from the capital had the bah often enough to have made good showing had 1t not been for the fact that 'Ikey' Houghton fell down on every, pass that giv- en him. McGilvray and Coggshall fed him lot that an amateur ought to have gotten and the best he could do was to dent the wainscoting.
 ''The play of the home team was up to the stanuard set last season and the big crowd in attendance understood just why the team is gaining ground and getting nearer the top of the col umn."
 And here Is another bouquet for the Waterbury lad:
 ''In its account of the game Thurs day night the Commercially of Danville, passes the following to Sut- ton. Canavan's men played their us- ual good game, but the principal cause of the Danville defeat was the amount of horseshoes and rabbits feet concealed about the person of Faithful Fido' Sutton. the plain but honest guardian of the Fort Wayne goal. 'Fido' had the time of his life. He made total of fifty-five stops dur ing the game, which comes pretty

DAVE .cusrcK,s ROMANCE.

Kokomo, Ind. Dec 20.-A mother s tears, the refusal of a county clerk to issue marriage license and the in- Limitations of a small squad of po- licemen were not of sufficient weight to prevent romantic wedding which took place in the pAriors of the Ina- perial hotel at Indianapolis Friday night.
 Miss Sue Hemingway of Muncie be- came the bride of David Cusick. the big goal tender of the Kokomo polo team. The ceremony came only as a calm after an entire day of stormy dramatic incidents.
 Two years ago "Daven Cusick arr rived at Muncie from Fall River, cie polo team He was 26 then, a ways smiling. Muncie was polo mad and Cusick. the best goal tender that the city had ever seen, became the idol nf the thousands of fans. Miss Sue Hemingway, daughter of leading society family, fell in love with him. Her family objected and put many obstacles In the way of marriage. The lovers triumphed over all and finally announced their determination to wed yesterday. Her mothers persauasaon failing to turn the daughter, the county clerk was prevailed on to re- fuse license. Nothing daunted the couple took train for Indianapolis, dodging policemen instructed to stop them. and were married. No special objection seems to have been made to Cusick personally.

READY FOR
 THE BELL
Britt and Nelson in Fine Fettle Britt IS Still the Favorite Other Fight News.

z 5
 The conditions of the Britt-Nelson fight are that the men will weigh in at 132 pounds at 6o'cloek tliis teven- ing. Practically 1t Is for the light weight championship. Nelson has the utmost confidence in himself He was never In better trim. to all appear ances. He looks the picture of health and Is as strong as bullock. Nelson always bets on himself and will fol- low the rule tonight by placing some thing like $1,0O0 on his chances.
 Britt is on edge. He is in the best of health. although there are reports that he has overworked himself. But these reports must be taken with q grain of salt! That Britt will enter the ring in great shape goes without saying. He Is too shrewd and too ambitious a man to put on the gloves unless he is able to sustain his repu- tation.
 That it wiil be long mill, say over fifteen rounds. is the belief of the ma 5ority of ring goers. Very few look for knockout. If one comes to pass, they figure that the Dane will be rhe chap to do the trick. One thing in to- nights fight must be taken into con- sideration, and that is that Britt is invariably very fast for the first ten or twelve rounds. After that he us- ually slows down. If the same thing happens to him tonight the Dane ought to win about the latter end of the mill and with knockout too He gets fresher and stronger as the conl- bat proceeds and is always dangerous. If. however. the rules are to be con- strued so that clean break is re. auired, Britt wdH have decided ad- vantage.

.MGovBRN STILL POPULAR.

q would like to bet on Terry Me Govern to beat either Britt or Nelson at 1S3 pounds or any old weight. said a wealthy sporting man yester- day. Young Corbett had heSIndian sign on McGovern after the latter's knockout at Hartford, but Terry would be perfectly at home with tine others. who are just the kind of men he always beat quickly. Terry is not a back number and at the lightweight limit would prove tough customer. Tn his second fight with Corbett 1t was the same old story. Once a fight CT is knocked out by m opponent sthe latter always has an immense adVan- tage in another encounter. McGoveTa1 knew that Corbett had tue punch and that was all there was to it, With Cofbett out of the running, therefore, McGovefn ought to take crack at the winner of the Britt-Nelson fight, and if he does will have a good bet on him to win in quick order" Terry is liable to jump into the hmelight with a challenge after to-night's fight is over.
