YALE NOT So SURE
Of HARVARD DATES
Squabbles of Past Years MAY
Result in a Final
Rupture.
Special to The Journal.


New Haven, Conn, Dec. 29.--The
question whether Yale and Harvard will
sever athletic relations IS the burning
issue at Yale. It will be debated all
the winter by at least three distinct
bodies-the faculty, the athletic Off
Gals and the undergraduates. It has
taken the place of the reform investiga-
ton which consumed the time of the
same three bodies all Of last winter,
giving Yale men a subject for discus
sion not less acute than the topic of
last winter.
It is by no means taken for granted
at Yale that athletic relations with
Harvard are to be maintained and
voices have already been raised in all
of the three bodies mentioned advising
that relations be severed. The faculty
is by no means unanimous on the SUBJ
ject Of retaining Yale Harvard contests.
They feel that the squabbles Of the past
year or two with Harvard have been
the most unsatisfactory features Of the
annual seasons and some of the pro-
fessors favor dropping the crimson. AS
far as the younger coaches are con-
cerned, there is a decided majority in
favor of giving up contests for time
at least, unless the general conduct Of
Yale and Harvard athletic relations
can be improved
Only the Yale-Harvard baseball games
Of the spring sports have been arranged
yet. The Yale-Harvard dual track meet
was set down for May II, but there has
been hitch in this and the date is
withheld for the present. The Yale
Harvard regatta on the Thames has not
been arranged and the conference to
decide upon its details will not be held
until March, 1t is generally felt that
the usual program of Yale-Harvard
sports till July at the close of the pres
ent school year, will be held.

CONFERENCE HAS
49,. ATHLETES WORRIED
Special to The Journal.

= Chicago, Dec. 29.-With the winter
athletic season beginning this week,
athletes in all the "Big Nine' univer-
sites are facing puzzling situation.
The coming indoor season promises to
bring forth all sorts of confusion as a
result of the delay in the decision on
the changes proposed by the December
conference, A final decision on the
recommendation that freshmen be al
lowed to compete in minor sports, that
the retroactive features of the three
year rule be repealed and that the foot
ball season be extended from five to
seven games is not expected before the
middle or last of February. Conse-
quently many Of the indoor track teams
will be deprived Of their fourth year
men awaiting the decision.
The University of Chicago basket ball
team will suffer heavily from this mud
died condition Of affairs. The Lewis
Institute quartet-Page, Falls, Watson
and HOffman-as well as many Of the
other promising candidates, are fresh
men and have been working out regu-.
larlY for positions on the team. The
swimming team will also have to get
along for the first part of the season
without number of men whom they
were counting on. Michigan will suffer
in indoor track, as will Illinois. Wis
consin and Illinois are the only institu-
lions this far to vote on the recommen-
dations and in. case the remaining seven
vote shortly, it is possible that, the con
ference will be called in January to
relieve this condition as much as posi-
ble. s. =.

TALKING OF CHA7GES
IN THE IOWA PLAN
Three-1 and Hawkeye Circuits
Will Undergo Change in
Makeup.
Special to The Journal.

Burlington, Iowa, Dec. 29.-While
nothing official has been done concern
ing the release of Clinton to the Three
l league by the directors of the Iowa
league, undoubtedly that subject will
have thoro discussion at the league
meeting in January.
There Is possibility that the Three
L people will be asked to make some
thing of a concession in return for Gin
ton; Probably the Davenport territory
will be asked for in exchange. Daven-
port will be of no use to the Iowa
league at this time, but it is considered
good territory for the state organiza-
ton to control for future use, and the
suggestion has been made that the op-
portunity for a trade be utilized to Sc
cure it.
Harry Hoffer, the leading light in
Quincy baseball circles, who has been
m fbs in eydenee in tie formation Of
taken stand against individual own
ership Of the team. He has been urged
to take financial control and manage
ment Of the club, but has declined and
as result it is probable that a stock
company will have direction Of the
team g affairs. Hoffer will be promi-
nent figure in this arrangement, how
ever, as he knows the wants of the
fuluCy 1duS Ill every detail.
The decision in Quincy, in this re-
spect has been echoed in several other
Iowa league cities, where the subject
has been proposed. Oskaloosa, Mar
shalltown and Ottumwa have all de-
clared against it, and will have mana
gers under the direction of stockhold-
ers, and will carry on the game in that
manner.
Patterson has been unanimously
chosen to direct the affairs of the Oska-
loosa club. Corbett will manage the
Ottumwa team, and Marshalltown is

s|LER REVIEWS THE
BOXING OF THE YEAR
Veteran Referee Passes on the
Ring for The Journal
Readers.
BY George Siler.

Chicago, Dec. 29.-It was tough
Shedding for the majority of the
puglEsts during the last year, and
the prospects for the coming year are
not much brighter. The earthquake
and fire at San Francisco practically
wiped that, the best fight town in the
country, off the map. The city during
by several men, and, as usual in such
cases, they could not pull together.
much to the regret of the mitt artists.
The only important contest staged in
Frisco since the quake was that be-
tween Al Kaufman and Sam Berger,
and the financial end Of that did not
come up to expectations.
Chelsea, Mass, was a good little burg
until few days after the Matty Bald
win-Tommy Murphy fight, three weeks
ago, when the authorities compelled
tiers. New York city made a strong
bid to again start the pugilistic ball
arolling, and the numerous Clubs which
infested the city did land-office bust
ness pulling off three and four-round
tits. Things were progressing smooth
lY until the Madison Square Athletic
club, thinking it had the bull by the
horns, matched Terry McGovern and
Jimmy Britt to box ten rounds.
Bad in Manhattan.
It was big event and the manage
ment, to gather all the shekels in sight,
overstepped themselves by selling
tickets to the general public, instead
OF to members only, as demanded by
law, and that put the game on the
toboggan. The men in charge of the
affairs in the states Of Ohio and Mis-
in the pugilistic line, and Michigan,
an excellent money getter for mum.
per OF good, bad and Indifferent
fighters, was stricken from the list
BECAUSE Of the death Of Mike Ward.
The lid has not, as yet, been pried
from Chicago, but the scrappers manage
to pick up little change in a number
of small towns in the state of Illinois.
Milwaukee still is open for the pugs
and Davenport, Iowa, dropped into
line during the year. Butte, Mont,
Spokane and Seattle, it seems have
been worked to death and "nothing
DOING to amount to anything is the
slogan in those cities. Philadelphia is
doing business at the same old stand.
and as in former years, is the best city
i'll the country for limited round bouts.
Denver was ga closed shop'' for some
time. but recently opened to all, since
which a number Of good fights have
been staged; Los Angeles has been the
best city in the country for the fighters
since San Francisco dropped out Of the
game. Tom McCarey, manager of the
Pacific Athletic club, who controls the
fight game in that city, has pulled off
more top notch fights during the year
than has any man in the country.

but as the promoters of the state only
cater after the best in the market the
rank and file of pugilism derives no
benefit from the offerings.
1.-THE only championship fights pulled
off during the year were at zColma, out
side Of San Francisco, Los Angeles,
Nevada and at Chelsea. In the first
named place Joe Cans defeated Mike
Twin Sullivan for the welter- weight
title, beating him in fifteen rounds
and later made it good one
by defeating him in ten rounds at
Los Angeles. Cans later in the year
relinquished the welter-weight title.
The sports of Los Angeles also saw
championship battles between Tommy
Burns and Marvin Hart and Burns and
Jack O'Brien in the heavyweight class,
and Abe Attel and frankie Neil, and
Attel and Harry Banter, and Attel and
Jimmy Walsh in the featherweight
division. 80,
Cans Has Edge.
Chelsea pulled off the welterweight
championship fights between Billy Mel
lody and Joe Walcott, the first named
fighter winning both. The question as
to who is the best lightweight in the
country was decided at Goldfield, New.
when Cans and Nelson came together,
Cans winning on foul in the forty
second round
There was no light heavyweight or
hantamweight championship fights dur
ing the year, so there are no real live
champions in the latter division. Jack
0 'Brien still holds the light heavy
weight title by virtue of his victory
over Fitzsina M ons- One of the unex-
pacted happenings Of the year was Jim
Jetfrles' announcement that he would
re-enter the ring.

San Francisco, Cal, April 24.-Fol-
Lowing the rain which fell Sunday
night and yesterday, which greatly
intensified the misery and sufferings
of the homeless people of this strick.
en- city, last night was one of com
parative comfort and of greatly inn
proved conditions. Tie night was
clear and warm. The condition of
the people is constantly growing bet
ter and the distribution of provisions
is becoming more systematic and
methodical. While the heavy rains
for the time being, added much to the
misery of the homeless, it did much
towards improving the sanitary con.
ditions throughout the city.
At 10:40 o'clock last night an
earthquake shock was felt throughout
the city, and momentarily created
considerable alarm, but no damage
was done.
Following the unfortunate killing
of Tilden by some selfconstituted
vigilant, 1t is said that all city patrols
and all guards will be disarmed, and
the troops, both regulars and militia
will be instructed not to shoot except
in case of extreme necessity.
The general conditions of the city
are improving rapidly. Hundreds of
men are at work clearing up the
streets and dynamiting tottering
walls. The water company has 1000
men at work repairing the broken
water mains. and many sections of
the residence district are abundantly
supplied with water. Several car
lines are ready to commence opera
tion just as soon as it is safe to turn
On the power.
