AT TER ACKERhAN
TO MEET MACKEY
Promoters Want Conqueror
OF Alex Swanson to WreS-
tie in Washington.
By THOMAS S. RICE.

An effort is being made 10 bring Al
Alderman. OF Ohio. who threw Alex.
Swanson last week for the welterweight
wrestling championship. 10 Washington
for a match with Rob Roy Mackey.
Alderman has n wide reputation tn
the Middle West for both strength and
skill. He has been on the mat for
number of years and is considered in
his own section one Of the best weller
weights that ever donned q pair Of
tights. He has strong bones, large
hands and. while not graceful in ap-
pearauce. has the reputation Of being
unusually fast on his feet.
Defeated Swanson.
Ackerman's defeat Of Swanson was a
distinct surprise here. for those who saw
Swanson wrestle Mackey in Washing
ton last season were deeply impressed
with his graphing ability. Swanson Is
good both on the aggressive and de-
Tense, and. while It was thought he
might not be able 10 throw Alderman.
few would have bet that he would be
thrown.
AckermHn's appearance in Washing
ton would arouse great interest. and.
despite his triumph over swanson, he
would probably have his hands fuil
with Mackey, who gave Swanson an nn-
usually hard run last winter.

THE COLLEGE OF IDAHO is
NOW PREPARING TO OPEN
STARTS OUT BETTER EVER BtfORf-fRsr COLLEGE
YEAR ADDED.
YEAR ADDED.

The College of Idaho, established
and successfully operated since Octo-
Der Z 1891, will begin this year with
larger attendance and faculty, a
broader and more thorough course of
study, and, in short with fairer pros
poets and brighter promise than ever
before. The National Board of Aid
for Colleges has appropriated the
money to add the first year of the
collegiate course, proper. The board
Of trustees anticipates that the addi-
ional years will be added as rapidly
as conditions require. This will en-
able students to finish their college
education at this institution. The
academy has long ranked amoung
the best academies in the west, and
patrons of the school may rest as
sured that this high standard will be
maintained in the college. The Col
lege of Idaho was established by
Rev. William Judson Boone, en-
couraged and assisted by a few con-
scientious men and women of Cald-
well. The growth of the college has
been slow, and discouraging at times,
but II has always been sure, until the
past few years have seen the institu-
ton developed into the leading pri-
