Michigan University Athletes Rid
of a Handicap.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. November .
Hsnceforth the University of Michigan
will IN all probability play the premier
part in the athletics of the middle west
institutions. For a period Of nearly ten
years the Wolverines have labored along
in athletics under large handicap
caused by the fact that the faculty has
had practically all the say in these mat
ters. but the regents Of the university
have at last taken a definite stand and
abolished the faculty board of control of
the athletic association. and after De
cemher /, a new board will b. elected
composed Of four professors, two
students, one alumnus and Trainer
Keene Fitzpatrick. With such a board in
charge 1t will be possible for Michigan
to take the stand in athletics that las 50
long been denied 1t. and it is thought In
future the Blue and Maize will be repre-
scented in nearly every athletic contest Of
note that is held IN the middle west.
In future it Is expected that the VOL
verines will not only have athletic teams
in all branches of sports. but that the
rules of the western conference will be
practically entirely ignored and the train
ing table reinstated. It IS further thought
that foot ball practice will hereafter BE-
taken up before the opening OF college
and long schedule arranged.
This sudden action of the regents was
brought about by the faculty board plac-
ing the last straw on the athletes back
when It proposed to make Trainer Fftz-
patrick an honorary member Of the board
Of control without vote. 1t was also
understood that the board was going to
try to put the university back In the west
ern conference, even at the cost of whole
sale expulsion. This was the limit, and Re-
gent Fletcher, millionaire lumberman
Of Michigan, sent stringent letters to
President ANGEL and TO Pros. Lane,
chairman of the board. These were
followed up by the abolishing of the
board entirely. the action to take place
December /.
Following this comes the talk OF a
basket ball team at Ann Arbor. This is
a new sport at Michigan. the institution
never having been represented by five.

BIG DEMAND FOR
FOOT BALL TICKETS

The demand for tickets for the annual
foot ball game between the United States
Military and Naval academies is greater
than in any previous year and far ex.
ceeds the supply. Word has been re-
ceived from Annapolis that the Navy
Athletic Association. which controls the
issue of tickets, has closed its books, and
that all applications for tickets hereafter
received must be denied. 1t is estimated
that there are alre ady 100 applications on
file. These include the naval officers and
others who are members Of the associa.
ton and the general public. In order td
meet the heavy demand and satisfy all
legitimate applicants the executive COM
mittee will shortly decide upon the num-
Der to be allowed members of the asso-
citation. Last year members got -four
tickets each. 1t is expected that the
same number will be allowed this year
The Navy Athletic Association has about
5000 tickets TO distribute, the Army Ath-
lectic Association at West Point has a like
number, and the remainder of the seats
Will, as usual, be disposed of at public
sale by the athletic officials OF the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. upon whose
grounds the game will be played The
brigade OF midshipmen has a membership
of $50. and as usual, each mildly will be
allowed three tickets, so that 300 of the
naVy's share Will be consumed right there.
With the large membership of the a;h-
letic association, each member of which
will receive four tickets. there will be but
few, If any, cards remaining for distri-
button to the public. Many of the local
contingent are de pending upon their mid
shipnaan friends 1t is in this manner

JOHNSON WINS IN
eleventh ROUND
CoIored Heavyweight Will Be
Matched With Burns for
Worlds Championship.

SAN FRANCISCO. November flames
Flynn, a Colorado fireman. today was
knocked out at Colma in the eleventh
round of a forty-five-round contest by
John Johnson, colored heavyweight, with
a straight right to the jaw. 1t took four
minutes to resuscitate Flynn.
Throughout the contest Johnson toyed
with his antagonist. Ii the initial round
he nearly closed Flynns left eye, and
thereafter made that optic a target for
unerring left jabs. Johnson left the ring
without a mark and only once did he
suffer telling blow from his opponent.
The beginning of the end came in the
tenth round. Near the end of that round
Flynn slipped to the mat from the i'm
petus of a misdirected punch. He was UP
quickly and as ne rushed in Johnson
clipped him in the pit Of the stomach
with short-arm right uppercut. Flynn
dropped to the floor and was carried to
his corner, the clang of the gong giving
him a temporary respite.
In the eleventh round Johnson tainted
Flynn. and dared him to c.ose quarters.
Then Johnson. backing away, shot
wicked straight right to the jaw, and
Flynn sank to the floor utterly helpless.
Billy Roche, the referee, said: John
son was the better man, and he outclass-
ed Flynn in every department OF the
game"
ARRANGEMENTS will at once be made to
match Johnson and Tommy Burns for
the worlds heavyweight championship.
The attendance was large.
Although the betting was 2 to l IN
favor of Johnson, the colored fighter
Flynn had many supporters who assert
ed that he had good chance to win
Last night Johnson weighed 1872 pounds
and was about the same figure today
Flynn's weight was 11f1s pounds, but he
expected TO go into the ring little heav-
Ter. Both men were reported to- be In
prime condition.
