nection with tonights ffteen-round en-
counter between kid" Sullivan the we'll
known Washington boxer. and INK Rus
sell, the much-touted Philadelphia light
weight, before the Eureka Athletic Club of
Baltimore. is whether or not the match Will
be the last one Of any Importance to be
held In Baltimore for many years. T.egis-
latlon is now on at Annapolis that if car
ried through will put ban on boxing all
over the state.
That fact adds extra interest to the con-
test. which gives every promise of being
one or the best of the season. Russell Is
slx-round boxer who has made big name
Tor himself In the Quaker City. This is
practically his first bout of any account to

over the mighty clever Washington boy

The athletic committee of the faculty of
the University of Wisconsin last night voted
to recommend the suspension Of foot ball

and crew athletics to continue ii they are
self-sustaining.
The announcement of the decision was
not favorably received by the student body

prevail of the action. Members of the track
team declare that it will practically be i'm
possible for the team to go ahead with It's
training and compete in the intercollegiate
meet under the circumstances.
The members of the crew which expected
