CANS AND NELSON
SIGNED TO FIGHT

MINNEAPOLIS, November 23.-Joe
Cans and Battling N lson have signed ar
ticles for another lightweight champion
ship battle. They met here yesterday
morning, and after much arguing by Mel
fighter tried to use dictatorial methods
which he learned from his former men
tor. Billy Nolan. they signed articles
Nelson guaranteed that he could COM
mand a So, 600 purse. but when Cans
at the ringside the ex-hatter supple
mented that the men should weigh in
with their ring toys on.
At this Cans smiled pityingly at Mel
son, and remarked that the weight woul /
be what he wanted. not wa; Ne so
might like. Cans is the champ on. and IS
in position to dictate terms. but Nell
son seemed to imagine that his defeat by
Cans and by James Edward Britt did
not make any difference in his stand ng in
fistic circles.
The men finally reached the conclusion
that they would fight a sHffici mt number
of rounds to make thu battle practically
a finish one. The purse will be divided
rs per cent to the winner and % per cent
to the loser. The men expect to fight on
or about New Year day, but the date or
the scene Of the contest has not yet been
finally sett ed. It Is believed that one OF
the many Nevada fight clubs will max
an offer for the battle. -t -
The one queer thing about the whole
transaction is that Nelson believes him
self to be a sufficiently great drawing
card to guarantee a $4,000 purse Pos
sibly the Dane is taking into cons ideratitn
the fact that recently the fight fms have
stood for several Hascos. Few persons
would pay high price to see Nelson in
the ring now. Since his battle with Cans
in Goldfeld, when the cha Gpion beat
him mercilessly for foIty-Jwo rounds
Nelson has gone back rapidly. Since
Jimmy Britt beat him easily for twenty
rounds, having him all but out In tn
last round. Nelson has not fought. Few
persons believe that he would last ten
rounds with Cans now.
And yet Nelson guarantees a $685. 900
house purse.

FOOT BALL HONORS
FOR "TECH" LADS

With the odds in the betting against
them, the Technical High School team
yesterday sprung one of the biggest sur
prises of the year when they won the
interscholastic championship of the Dis
trict from the Georgetown Preparatory
team by a score of 5 to 0.
An attempted forward pass which was
fumbled by a Georgetown player was
gathered in by Benson, the left end of the
Technical team. who ran more than half
the length of the field and scored the
only touchdown of the game.
The Technical rooters occupied the
east stands while the followers of the
Georgetown team were on the west side
A continuous cheering was Kept up
throughout the contest by the loyal root
ers of both teams. Several weeks ago
the odds were to 1 against the High
School team. but they rose as high as
; and to 1 yesterday when /. was
known that Thrall, the big fullhack
injury, but Blair, who took the fullback
position, played a strong game, and his
punts were long and high. Several times
it looked as if the Technical team would
distance of the Props goal, but they
were held for downs, and Fury punted
the ball out of the dangerous territory.
The field was a mass of mud and handi-
capped both teams in some fast pays.
In comparing the two teams Technica
slightly outweighed the Georgetown boys
The Props were relying on fast plays to
pull off the game, but this was impos
sible with the field in such a bad con-
dition.
The High School boys practically out
played the Props. as they had the ball
almost continuously in their opponents
territory. Neither side scored in the first
half, and 1t was not until the second
half was more than half over when the
game was won.
with the ball in the possession of the
Prep team the whole team spread out
across the field and a diagonal kick
netted the first down. There was COM
plete line shift on the next pay for a
Capt. Sitterding. who turned to throw it
well down the field to two of his team
mates who were In waiting, but the
Technical linesmen rushed in and the
ball then slipped from his hands and
Benson gathered it up and rushed down
for 60 yards and the only score. Ellis
failed to kick an easy goal. The George
town team claimed that the ball touched
the ground but the officials ruled against
them.
The Prep's rooters broke forth with a
wild cheering when Fury got through
the Technical lines near the close of the
game and ran SO yards and placed the
ball behind the goal posts, but he was
one of the Technical tacklers he stepped
outside of the side line and Jack Gass
was there to see 1t.
Ellis did the best work for the win
ners in ground gaining. Brewster and
Benson also did good work. Hart showed
up especially strong in the defensive
work. Conway was tower of strength
in the Prep line. as the PUSHES of the
Technical team on his side were stopped
time and time again. Fury. Mellon and
Capt sitterding also played well.
