AN ALL-wEsTERN ELEVEN.
EckersaII Is Chosen to Lead the Team
by Golfers.

EckerSau Is Chosen to Lead the Team
by Golfers.
Four Gophers, three. Maroons, two
Wolverines and lone representatives
up the all-western football eleven
picked by E. c. Patterson, Golfers
western football expert.
In placing Eckersall at the head OF
the team Mr.. Patterson describes his
work of last season as flawless, and
pays him the tribute of having no equal
as a field captain and general. In the
selections brain work and speed have
been the main considerations. Walker,
whose work at left end won much praise
from Chicago critics, is given credit for
aggressiveness and for strong and de-
termined defense. -
Marshall's ability as an open field
tacller is mentioned, but the player is
criticised for his tendency to rough play.
Curtis and Parry are awarded the
tackle positions without special COM
ment. Van Hook in spite of his asso-
citation with the weak Illinois team, is
credited With being the most capable
all around guard of the season, With
great ability to diagnose plays. ~.
Speed, activity and strength give Itt-'
ner his place as right guard. Minneso-
ta's center, Stafford comes in for great
praise for his fSteadiness and accurate
passing Clark, the Wisconsin half, al
though deprived of meeting several of
the big teams, is rated as one of the
strongest halves, chiefly as a ground
gamer; Schuchnecht is classed as a.
capable halfback, whose end runs were
of great assistance.
Garrels speed and strength give him
the fullback position over Current Of
Minnesota, who is rated a close second.
In summing up his choice Mr.. Patterson
ventures the opinion that under Stage,
Yost or Williams the team would be u
match for any in the country.
The second eleven chosen is as fol-
lows:
johnson, Nebraska, left end; Case,
Gan LEFT, guard. Waueh indiana CEN

"JEFFy' DEMANDS TOO MUCH.
Proposed Match With Squires Likely
to Fall Through.

Los Angeles, Jan. 9.-'Let Jeffries
agree to fight Johnson and he can
name the amount of the purse, how
1t shall be split, and any other old
thing he likes, but his demand of $26.-
900 out of the $4,000 purse we offered
him to fight Bill Squires is ridiculous
and unreasonable"
The above statement by B. F. Taylor,
of the Rhyolite (Nev.) Athletic club.
shows how the matter of Jeffries' re-
turn to the ring stands today.
Jeff's terms to fight Bill Squires-
made after he had agreed through his
manager, Billy Delaney, to split the
$S0, 900 purse 60 per cent to the winner
and 40 per cent to the Ioser-are $685.
coo for himself, win or lose or draw,
leaving Squires a whole $1,000
Jeffries has refused the 60 and 40 per
cent cutting of the purse, and b. F.
Taylor, representing the club, has just
as eznphatica1ly declared that the club
will not raise it's bid.

CANS LAUGHS AT 1T.
Derides the Idea of His Fight With
Jack O'Brien.

Chicago, Jan. 9.-Both Lightweight
Champion Joe Cans and Kid Herman,
the Chicago lad, whom he defeated
recently at Tonopah, are in the city.
Cans arrived last night, and in the
best talk that a champion ever deliv-
cred took little credit for his victory,
praised the Chicago lad for his nerve
and gameness, and said that the talk
of matching him against Jack O'Brien
was all a huge joke.
However, If promoters could be
found willing to offer a $4,000 purse
for a Cans (133) O'Brien (154
pounds) battle, the purse to be split,
CANS said he would take a chance on
being whipped at the handicap figures.
Herman got in today and held a
levee among his friends. Both the
Ghetto. fighter and his manager have
only praise for Cans. saying that he
is the best lightweight fighter in the

FRISCO WANTS BRITT FIGHT.
'sNative Son. Dislikes Idea of Going
Out to Nevada.

San Francisco, Jan. 9.-The fight pro-
meters here, especially the Britt fac
ton, are determined to bring the Britt
Cans fight here from Tonopah. 1t is
said the bid will be raised to any figure
necessary to have the fight pulled off
in San Francisco, where the condi-
tions are much more favorable to the
native son. Britt is already announc-
ing his demands and will want
much to say about the referee, weight,
division of the purse and everything
else, regardless of the fact that Cans
is the champion land in position to
dictate terms. Britt is hog-fat and it
will be, hard for him to train down to
weight. I begins to look as if Britt
would not get the match.
Cans has said he would dictate the
terms or there would be no fight He
is receiving so many offers that it is
merely a matter of accommodation to
take. on Britt. The latter. seems un-
able to realize that he is no longer the
champion and dictator. However, if
the fight is pulled off here, with his
own referee and at his own CLUB, the
chances are that he might wrest the
title from Cans.
