New York, Dec 2s.-The wrestling future Of
George s. Hackenschmidtts threatened, accord
ing to reports from abroad. The Russian lion
was to have met Ahmed Madrali the Terrible
Turk, in London Friday night in a contest for
the catch -catch-can championship of the
world. It has developed that Hackenschmidt in
jured his arm while wrestling in Nottingham,
Eng. Acting the advice of his doctor, Hack
enschmidt postponed the match, At present it
looks as if the bout would be postponed for
some time for the Russians doctor says Hack
enschmidt will be unable to wrestle for at least
six weeks. 49, -.tst .,.. ..
Hackenschmidt is much perturbed over the sit
uation. He will not be able to fill a number Of
lucrative engagements which he contracted some
time ago. G. B. Cochran, Hackenschmidt' S
manager in an interview in London said:
"I'm very sorry that the match has been called
off, and also sorry that the Olympic people
were put to all the trouble they had. Hacken-
schmidt has long been suffering from the arm
which has at last brought about his temporary
retirement. hope it is only temporary. Time
will tell that. trust nothing serious has hap
pened, for his loss will be severe blow to the
wrestling world at least Perhaps a six weeks
rest will give him a chance to recuperate. Even
now there are. several lawsuits pending fol-
breach Of contract when he broke down a couple
of weeks ago, and was unable to continue with

He was painted as liar attempting to defend
the athletic reputation of his college by sacri-
hcing its honor in withdrawing the records of
disqualified athletes; he was shown on the side
lines in the garb of common gambler, placing
bets on the favor1te team; he was cast in the
role of swindling Spectator in tickets; he was
pictured at the end Of his four years. college
career a haggard, gaunt man with the look
of dissipation in his face. starting into his
greater life with reputation the gridiron,
but with money -prostituted ideals as his assets
This composite slowly was developed by half

, put the finishing touches upon the picture a
| resolution was presented by W. Fl. Blanchard,
| president Of Wheaton college, calling upon the
colleges Of the state to abolish football for q

Such action regarded so extreme as to
preclude the possibility of it's execution, and q

they exist was adopted.

New York, Dec. 2s.-Tbe very generally ac-
cepted statement that college athletes shorten
their lives by excessive exercise was attacked
today by W. G. Anderson Of Yale. While adj
dressing the members Of the society of college
gymnasium directors at the New York Athletic
club he declared that participat ton in sports is
beneficial in almost every case.
To emphasize his arguments he presented sta
tistics covering many years. He also stated
that the statistics prove conclusively that the
heart is not injured and a larger percentage of
athletes than of those who live quiet life
do not die of lung trouble.
DR.. Meylan Of Columbia university, said that
not enough attention is paid to the physical
condition of the student and that certain
standard of physical development is necessary
