SLAMS Good Work.

The speed skating championships Of the
world took place at Helsingfors, Finland.
in the latter part of February and the meet
ing developed into an international tussle
between Finland. Russia and Norway. The
three top notch skaters were present: Herr
K. Gundersen. champion Of Europe for 1901.
'O4. 90; F. Wathen. worlds champion OF
1901. and j. Wikander, European champion
for 1905. A preliminary test OF the Nor
wegIans and Firms comparative powers had
been made at Christiania on February II
and is when four of the best skaters from
each country competed for the Finnish Cup

ATHLETIC RUIN AT WISCONSIN.
Action by Faculty Has Created
Chaos Among Teams.

Athletic affairs at the University OF Wis
consin are in a state of complete chaos and
the condition is held to be a direct result of
hasty action against football. Wisconsin
in the West, like Columbia in the East. was
the first college to take the plunge and abolish
football. Action along this line was taken
before IL was known at all what the other
colleges would do. Then Wisconsin was
forced to wait for the others and in the mean
time SO great was the uncertainty as to the
future OF sport at Wisconsin that a state
amounting to panic was engendered. As a
result. athletes are deserving in numbers
and all team trainers have placed their resig-
nations In the hands Of the authorities. To
crown all, George Downer. graduate athletic
manager of the university. has given up his
lob and the affairs are without a competent
man at the head.
The utter desolation OF spirit into which
the announcement of the ban on football
threw the Wisconsin men cannot well DO

like. Football is the maiustay OF all sport 81
Wisconsin. All the funds which support

teams have. to live, Their engagements
being already made. they cannot drop out

permit the existence OF bankrupt, teams,
and this is what the others would be If deprived
OF the assistance lent each year by loot
ball.
With affairs in this way and few Of the

il is not so hard TO see why the resignation
OF several of the coaches threw things into
absolute confusion. Alvin kraenzlein, the
former University OF Pennsylvania hurdler,

, been appointed. Bemis Pierce. the indian

Keller has been playing professional ball
for more than a dozen years and has drawn

practically penniless now, or are working
for pay that must make them regret their
