Los Angeles, Cal, Dec: 1:-Jack
O'Brien is anxious to fight Tommy
Burns again. He is not making any
statement about the fight but it is
known he is confident Of defeating
Burns if they ever fight again. The
men met at McCarey's office today and
a consultation was held over the ex-
hibition Of moving pictures. O'Brien
was remarkably well patched up and
tried to appear well at ease. His nose
is displaced and the cut over his eye
is likely to leave a scar. Both of
Burns eyes are discolored, but other
wise he shows no signs Of having been
in a battle.
The men greeted each other more
cordially than ever before. After the
consultation, O'Brien returned to his
hotel, where he saw few friends.

choose Knaeble of North high, who is
good end, but is not a spectacular
player Erickson of South. and Bar
nard Of East were also good end men.
Like the center position, there is but
one man for quarterback, and this is
Dean Martin of East. Every school had
good field captain, but Martin so far
outclassed the other three that in choos-
ing man there was no alternative. He
is heady and handles the ball cleanly.
and this, coupled with his fine punting
and almost perfect drop-kickirg, makes
him an excellent man for the position.
Martin is great ground-galner and
handles .punts like q veteran. He is
dred and fifty pounds, and is strong
on the defense.
Martin is also the choice for captain

Carl Mattson has finished training
for his match with Oscar Wasem, the
famous St. Louis heavyweight wrestler
and is in great condition. The match
is to be pulled off at Normania hall,
Twelfth avenue and Third street, on
Tuesday night, Dec. 4, and will be for
a purse of $3.50 and side bet.
Wasem is a big muscular fellow who
ist. He is from the south and has met
some Of the best men in the country
among whom were Frank Gotch, Fred
Beell, Dan Mcleod and Carey. In his
match with Gotch, in 1902, Wasem won
from the now heavyweight champion
and is Of the opinion that he could put
up good battle against the IoWan to-
day if given an opportunity. In a
match with Dan Mcleod, in the lat
ter's palmiest days, Wasem succeeded
in staying the limit and winning a
large sum of Mcleod IS money.
Altho Wasem has the best record Of
the two strangers, the local sports are
betting heavily on Mattson and Carl
is out to win money for his friends.
Mattson is bigger and stronger than
ever before and with an unbroken
string of victories which began imme-
diately after his loss to Pardello last
fall, he is bound to put up the battle
Of his life against Wasem.
Among the men Mattson defeated
since his match with Pardello is
Charles Stone, the big wrestler who
gave Gotch such a terrific tearing in
st. Louis last season, and who will
again meet the hawkeye man at Birm-
ingham, Ala, in the near future.
The match Tuesday night will begin
at $3.50 O'Clock and tickets are on sale
