guished organization have talked
nightly for number of years about
SO safeguarding all athletics that they
were truly representative of the best
in college life. Lately they have had
much to say about football and one
Of the principal objections which some
Of the straight-laced powers have
brought against the game was that it
was only for the few.
Some of these chaps have expressed
a laudable desire to make football q
game for the light as we'll as the heavy
man. A game which the numbskull as
well as his brighter brother might play.
| Let us see how they have gone about
bringing such a change. In the first
place they have limited the number Of
games. This was done, presumably, upon
specious reasoning that the fewer the
games the more men would get out.
They have limited the years of play to
three In addition to this they are
piling up, at every meeting, mass of
prohibitive rules Of eligibility which
an angel could not live up to. All of
this in the name Of making sport or
exercise-producing games for the entire
student body. r. n. l.

Of the stories are to be believed the
meetings are as full of guile as SEES
sion of seasoned diplomats.
Now that all Of the schools have
mounted a high platform for the good
Of scholarship and to popularize ath-
letics, why don't they get together and
knock out the fool rules of eligibility
which are imposed and generously
evaded by every athlete in the west ?
Chancellor Andrews Of Nebraska has
struck keynote in saying that he can
not see wherein there is any reproach
for young man who wins $25 playing
summer baseball any more than If he
had won an equal amount pitching hay.
The rules have become SO complex
that young man who has ever
amounted to anything in athletics can
not conscientiously fill out his blanks.
The Iowa baseball team action is a fair
criterion. Let the big nine get to
gether as soon as possible, knock out
all the finely drawn and two-edged rules
and substitute the one requirement of
scholastic standing. It will demonstrate
, to the followers Of college sports that

MAN FISHING A NEW FORM OF SPORT

Man.fshing is form Of water sport
which has not, reached Minneapolis,
but is expected to become popular at
the lakes wharves and landings this
summer. r..-~. ...s-.
In this game a strong swimmer dons
a close fitting head harness, SO ar
ranged that it does not in any way in
terfere with his breathing. The top
harness is attached to the end Of a
heavy tarpon fishingline and the angler
takes his station on the landing. The
swimmer is given a lead Of about six
ty feet, and the fisherman then. starts
to bring him in, fish fashion, with the
heavy reel. -- j.. -
An adept swimmer can put up fu-
rious battle for time, but the minute
he ceases to struggle the fisherman can
start him thru the water. To win the
fisherman must bring the swimmer up
within "spearing distance or within
certain distance of the wharf or
landing. The "fish' must not touch
the line with his hands. -
The game has proven one Of the
most entertaining of the water sports

NOAH BRUSS0 JUMPS
INTO THE .L|MEL|GHT
Victory Over Marvin Hart Sets
the Sporting World to
! Thinking.
Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
Los Angeles, Feb. 24.-Noah Brusso,
the Detroit fighter, who under the
name Of Tommy Burns, soundly
whipped the huge Marvin Hart last
night, is today the ideal Of the fight
fans in this city. Altho Hart was
top-heavy favorite at to l when the
fight started, the 1000 devotees of the
sport at the ringside quickly warmed
to Burns as the little fellow began to
show his superiority over his bulky
antagonist.
Burns was held too cheaply here and
in all parts of the country. He can
fight better than most people supposed.
While Hart was never taken seriously
as the heavyweight champion, still he
was credited with being tough propo-
sition for any man in the ring, and
therefore much credit is due Burns for
/ the complete showing-up he gave the
Kentuckian. ~
Burns stamina stood him in great
stead last night. Time after time,
Hart, stunned by the fierce left jabs
! that Burns kept sending, in, rushed into
clinches at the little fellow, and it re-
quires a man of great endurance to
withstand Harris rough work in the
clinches. To have a. fighter twenty
pounds heavier try to wear down an
opponent in clinches uses up most of
the fighters in a hurry. g.
stung Marvin Sorely. .,.. .
But Burns could DOT be worn out by.
those tactics, and when he. wriggled
out of the. ~bear-like embraces Of tho,
gigantic Hart he danced nimbly out of
reach, and then stepped back. in with
q neat wallop for his adversary.
tz The mighty swings Or " haymakers''
Of Hart never ught Burns squarely,
and turnout the twenty rounds the De-
troit man was cleverly stepping inside
or out of reach of the vicious knock
out punches of the, husky southerner.
Burns showed himself to be a pretty
fair two-handed walloper. He: brought
over his right with telling effect often
and his left glove was perpetually on
Hart s nose, eyes and mouth, and when
the battle was ended Hart s face was
dripping with gore. si~.
As the bell rang to close the seventh
Burns landed the hardest blow of the
fight, q rousing left punch, which

his feet. The whole battle was a sue
cession of jabs and swings by Burns,
with Hart at all times in the role as
receiver.
Ryan Desperate.
Finally seeing his man outpointed at
every turn, Tommy Ryan, Harris chief
second, sent the big fellow in, to end
the battle in the twentieth round, but
Burns in that round sent as good as
he received, and as he had landed four
punches to one in the first nineteen
rounds, the. crowd knew Referee Eyton
had no alternative but to acclaim Burns
the winner.
Burns went into the ring six years
ago, not because fighting was a lucra-
tive profession, but because he was conf
pletely carried away with the sport. At
the age of Is, when he started to fight,
he had the gloves on early and late,
with whomever he could induce to stand
up against him. He is an. all round -ath-
