Many a man believing he is well

he has only a few months to live due
to advanced kidney disease Thus,
many people do not even know they

next season such as has followed WASH
burn during the past season, the as
ISOLATION will be out of debt, which will
be an experience entirely new to Wash
burn athletics. 1t is Manager StahIs
greatest ambition to leave the associa-
ton out of debt.
The management has been instructed
to arrange good schedule for next
season. It is not improbable a game
will be secured with Missouri universi-
ty. Manager Ebright of the Missouri
team is a resident of Sterling, Kansas,
the home of Manager Stahl and Coach
Weede. During the holidays the trio
will hold a conference in Sterling and
will endeavor to establish permanent
relations with Missouri university. The
two teams have met three times but
relations have not existed for three
years. Other games will be arranged
with Kansas university, Oklahoma,
Haskell, st. Marys, Aggie, and the
State Normal. Paramount may also
have a place. Negotiations will also be
opened with Nebraska and Colorado
universities. 1t will undoubtedly be
the best schedule Washburn has ever
had.
Despite the fact that Washburn will
lose eight of ner players oe this sea-
sons team, there will und oubtedly be
a good team next season. There IS an
unlimited supply of second team men
who were My prevented from making
the team this seas oa on account %
lack of experience. Wilson McVey of
Cooper college who was selected by
Coach Quigley as the alI-Kansas quar-
will enter Washburn at the
of the second semester. He
Is a very fast backfield man and can
be used at either half or full. He Will
be eligible for next seasons team.
Coach Weede, in talking of next
years prospects this morning said:
We will have a lot Of work in order
m get a good team for next season. But
believe Washburn will have team
hat will rank among the best OF
hem next season. We have fine
punch of scrubs who are only lacking
N experience. Competition for posi-
ions will be fierce next season and we
expect to develop some Of them so that
hey will fill in the positions OF those
Who retire this year"

A GREAT BATTLE.
Nelson and Mcfarland Will
Meet in Near Future.
"Packie" Posts $500 to Bind
the Match With the Dane.
WANTS 25 ROUND BOUT
Weight to Be 131 Pounds at 6
O'clock With SideBet of $5, 900.
Fight to Go to Best Bidder
Within Next Thirty Days.

Chicago, Dec. 20.-Harry Gilmore has
posted the $500 forfeit recently taken
down by Joe Cans to bind the proposed
match between Packey Mcfarland and
Battling Nelson's @
Cans took down the forfeit because
he thought the weight propositions in1-
posed by Nelson was unfavorable-13l
pounds at 6 o'clock. Harry Gilmore
said that he considered the 131 pounds
at o'clock condition to be as favorable
as the lightweight limit at the ringside.
Moreover, he is ready to agree to it
because it was the condition suggested
by Nelson himself, and McFarland's
manager thinks Battling is sure to agree
to 1t and make thefmatch.
Gilmore and Mcfarland will bet SIS, 900
on the side and the set Of articles which
they will draw up and sign today, to be
submitted to Nelson, will provide for
the purse to be split either rs and %
or 60 and 40 per cent, according as Nell
son chooses. The articles will suggest
that the match be kept open for the
best bidder for term of thirty days.
1t is thought either California or Ne
vada will get the event.
Gilmore will insist on two things
that Nelson gets no bonus to make the
match and that the contest be a limited
battle, not over twenty-five rounds.
1T consider Mcfarland just as good
an attraction now as Bat" said Harry,
land will not pay Nelson to match with
him. Moreover, 1 do not want to send
Packey into the ring for finish fight
just now. He is still lad and he can
make finish fights If necessary later on
in his career"
In the meantime Mcfarland probably
will get a match with Tommy Murphy
IF Boston, probably the best man of
mis- weight in the country, except Mel |
son and Cans, whom Mcfarland has |
not defeated.

WEEDE And STAHL
Washburn Decides to Retain
Both Coach and Manager.
Winning Combination Of 1907
VIII Not Be Broken.
GRADUATE MANAGER.
System to Be Tried for
First Time at Washburn.
Millice to Be Assistant Manager
of Athletics.
GRADUATE MANAGER.

II DR.. Garfield w. Weede was re-
elected coach of the Washburn foot
| ball team for 1908 at the meeting of
| the Washburn athletic board which
was held late yesterday afternoon. At
| the same meeting Walter w. Stah1 was
| elected manager of the Washburn
| athletic teams for 1908.
| The election was to have been held
| over two weeks ago but was several
| times postponed on account of the
board being unable to agree on the
proposition of a student manager or
graduate manager. The student
| manager has always been in vogue at
Washburn but this year there has been
considerable agitation in favor of a
graduate manager. 1t was finally de-
cided to have q graduate manager for
next season though the action of yes
terday In no way binds the board to a
permanent system of graduate mana
gers.
DR.. weede was the unanimous
choice for coach, but this statement
contains but little news as it has been
generally understood that Weede
would be retained as coach.
manager. Manager stahI who has
been with the team for several years
was a candidate for reelection. Glenn
Millice who has been star on the
Washburn team for the past five years, |
also wanted the place. Millice has
played his limit under the conference
rules but still has three years in the |
medical college. MiIlice has been ap-
pointed manager of the basket ball |
team, and will be given a position as !
assistant manager in other athletic |
departments. 1t is generally under
stood that he is the logical candidate |
for this position a year hence and will |
be trained for this position with that |
end in view.
Coach Weede who has again been |
elected to instruct the Blue warriors in /
the gentle art of football has been |
with the WaShburn team fer two /
years. This year he coached the |
champion Missouri valley team, whose
title to this honor is only disputed by
a team generally conceded
to be no better than WaShburn. A
year ago he was coach of the near
champion Washburn team whose bril-
liant record was only marred by a
faulty decision in the Paramount game
Of a year ago.
