BY Ed Moriarty

Harvard oarsmen are now the eyno-
sure of British and American eyes, as
the great crimson athletes sweep daily
over the Putney- -Morkake course in
preparation for the international boat
race with Cambridge, September s.
Lovers of the stalwart physique-in-
habitants of the tight little isle-are
lavish in praise Of the "good-looking
Americans as they call them. the
clean cut, dashy style of Uncle Sam s
contingent has appealed wonderfully to
the Briton and sportsmen from the

MEET TO DECIDE
RINGSIDE WEIGHT
CLUB OFFICIALS AND FIGHT
MANAGERS CONFER
Sullivan Insists on Cans Weighing
In strlpped-Nolan Says That
He Must Have on His
Fighting Clothes
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
GOLDFIELD. New, Aug. 2S.--At an
informal meeting this morning at which
were present the officials Of the Cold
field Athletic club, George Siler, Billy
Nolan, Nelson's manager; Larry Sulll-
van, acting for Cans, and several news
paper men q lively discussion ensuel
over the ringside weight articles IN
which the two managers took decidedly
opposite views.
Unless the matter is satisfactorily adj
iusted soon II bids fair to assume se-
rious proportions. Nolan stated en-
phatically that Cans should enter the
ring at 3 o'clock on the day of the con-
test Weighing 1913 pounds, clad In his
fighting garb. Sullivan, on the other
hand maintained that Cans, according
to the articles of agreement shall make
the specified weight entirely stripped.
A lively wrangle followed, during
which It was proposed to submit the
matter to Siler. Siler, however, declined
to pass on the subject beyond quoting
certain articles of Marquis of Queens
berry and London prize ring rules, and
finally ended by referring the matter to
the club officials for adjustment, II
possible.
A meeting will probably be held late
this afternoon at which the club Of
ficials will pass on the matter. Tex
Rickard, in behalf of the club said the
decision at this meeting will be final
and that the managers Of the two
pugilists must abide by the clubs de-
cision.
you may state positively that Cans
will weigh in at the ringside at 13a
rounds. stripped" said Sullivan during
the morning gathering. Nothing that
Nolan can produce or say will cause
me to change my mind that is all
have to say"
Nolan was equally positive that Cans
should weigh in fully garbed in fighting
costume, stating that there were print
ed rules which governed the matter.
Both Cans and Nelson took their GUS
tomary jaunts on the road this morn
ing. After an eight-mile sprint Cans
jumped on the scales and weighed ex-
actly 1872 pounds. Nolan stated that
Nelson's weight was below 130 pounds
but did not give the eactx figures.

PREPARE FOR

ATHLETES AT u. S. c. SHOW
ACTIVITY
Men With Records In Field Sports
Cast Their Lot With Husky
Youths of Southern
California

Owing to the widespread agitation
against football last season preparation
for that game is being overshadowed,
even at this early date, by enthusiastic
preparations for the track and field
sports at the University of Southern
California.
Since Richardson, the crack Santa
Paula athlete, registered last Saturday,
two more noted athletes have cast their
lot with the Methodists. Grover
Youngs, the Los Angeles high schools
old hurdler, and Nat. Guiberson, at one
time champion shot and hammer man
of the Pacific coast, are the late ar
rivals.
Youngs has done better than 16 1-5
seconds at the high hurdles and is good
at the low. Guiberson is giant, six
feet seven inches in height and weigh
ing 235 pounds when in condition. He
tosses the shot out forty-four feet with
out apparent effort.
Where Charles Parsons, the American
one hundred yard champion. will run
next season has been a much disputed
question among college athletes of late.
Coach Harvey Holmes, Parsons old
trainer, says he is counting on Parsons
for U. S. c. this winter. The coach
said in part,
with parsons, Richardson, Youngs,
Guiberson and Comstock, together with
some of the material developed here
last year, the University of Southern
California will have a team that will
give, good account of itself against
any I'm the United States. L expect"

of the season, to take the pick of my

Hyland commenced steady tattoo
on the kidneys which Thompson did
nat heed, sending across stiff blows to
the face that more than once caused
the fighting northerner to cover.
And Hyland was very clever In get

would have done no particular good
from the manner inwhich they left the
cyclones sturdy shoulders.
In the fourth came the thrilling event
of the evening and one that caused
volumes Of applause to wrend the air
at the end Of the round. Hyland skill
fully ducked and blocked hard leads
to the face and Cyclone started In
for the body OF a sudden Dick whirled
a violent Jolt far below the belt.
Thompson went down and rolled over
and over on the canvas. Cries OF
foul flooded the house but Robinson
commenced ticking off the seconds,

was on him raining in blow after
blow. II did not appear as though
Thompson could stand the onslaught
and n knockout seemed inevitable. The
plucky farmer staggered and reeled,
covering as best he could.

Pandemonlum reigned as the Syca-

the ring. Back again for the next, a
terrific mixup occurred, Hyland whirl-

bu1l-lke strength that has sent many
man to the mat. Thompson showed
signs of recuperation in the seventh,
but Hyland was powerful again in the
eighth. Both men were going hard in
the ninth when Thompson tripped and
the foul occurred.
Hyland is not of the Kid Herman
type and talked gamely after the battle.
II am sure / didn't mean to foul at
any time, but IL the referee said / did,

Preliminary events were much to the
point.
Eddie Meeney and Young McGovern
started first and the battle was a
whirlwind affair for a couple of rounds
Meeney caught McGovern a hard left
latter away. McGovern managed to
last the round out, staggering about in
dizzy fashion.
When Mac came up weak in the
fourth, Meeney, after few seconds,
jabbed a left to the head and Mccoy
ern went down-so very carefully that
1t appeared as though he retained
thoughts of the hard floor beneath.
No end of excitement occurred in the
third round of the Tremble-Turk bat
tie, which referee Charles McHugh
gave to the Turk when Tremble fouled
after the gong had struck. Tremble
went to his corner apparently unaware
that decision had been given against
him and later made a wild rush from
his chair in an effort to waylay Nc
Hugh. Reaching over the ropes he
caught the latter with one glove and
deliberately whipped a right to the
head. -
An uproar occurred and a corps of
police jumped between the ropes. Po-
lice Sergeant Charlie Dixon grasped
the hurley ringster and hustled him
from the scene of carnage.
