YOST AGAIN ON
JOROAN'S TRAIL
Football Coach of University
of Michigan Takes Up Case
of Student Gregory.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 1L.-FOotball Coach
Yost of the University of Michigan last
night said President David Starr Jordan
of Stanford university was wrong in in
ferring that Yost had paid no attention
for five years to President Jordans criti-
cisms.
Coach YOst said that in 1908 he wrote
President Jordan asking if he had been
correctly quoted and received a reply
dated May u, 1908, saying that newspaper
reports were incorrect; that President
Jordan had not mentioned Gregory by
name and that the only criticism he had
made was that a player (meaning Greg
Ory) who had failed in his studies at Stan
ford university should not have been ad-
mitted to Michigan and if admitted should
not have been allowed on the football
team. YOst said that President Jordan
overlooked the fact that Gregory spent
an intervening year at a preparatory col
lege getting caught up in his studies
YOst said he wrote President Jordan
again in 1876, asking him if he had been
correctly quoted in a magazine article
that charged Yost with offering Gregory
81 800 a year to come to Michigan, and TO
this letter YOst said he received no reply,
and that he received no reply 10 a SINH
lar letter written last December. The
coach said it was after learning of Presi-
dent Jordan's letter to President PeXottO
of the Pacific section of the American
Athletic union that he decided to give his
repIv to the press as he considered that
the published letter could not carry a

For an All Western Meet.

The plan suggested by Coach Walker
of the Agricultural College of Utah for
an all western conference to be held an
nually at Salt Lake is a good one, and
a plan that should be carried through.
The possibilities of such a meet as an
advertisement to Utah and Salt Lake
can hardly be conceived by the average
person. 1t would make this state the
center of school athletics west OF the
Missouri river, and when one stops to
consider that there. are thousands in
terested in each school in this territory
it gives some idea of the interest there
would be in a meet OF this magnitude.
The schools of Utah should get to-
gether on this proposition and push il
through. They should and probably
could without any trouble secure the
cooperation of the Commercial club Of
Salt Lake, the governor of the state
and mayor of the city. While there is
much talk going on of making Salt
Lake a convention city, here is a meet
ing Of athletes that would bring as
many people to the city aS~the average
convention and give the city far greater
publicity. All it needs is a little push
on the part Of those at the head of the
athletic associations of the big schools
of the state and without question the
necessary funds could be secured to
push the proposition to a successful
end

OWNERS ACCUSE MINERS
Injunction Asked Against GOldfield
Union in United States Cir
cult Court at Carson.

Carson, New, Jan. 1.-THE United
States circuit court today took up the
matter of the injunction against the
miners union Of GOldield asked for by
the Mine Owners association. Affida-
Wits covering many pages were present
ed and read to the court by the attor-
.ney for the operators. All tended to
show that the miners union had been
the prime factor in all the labor trOu-
bles of the camp since its discovery.
The union was accused of countenanc-
ing the action of the high graders
and protecting them by their night
against the change-rOom system that
was adopted by the operators for the
protection of their high-grade ores.
The case will be taken up Monday,
when it is expected that Sheriff Ingalls,
of EsmeTalda county will be present
and will testify in behalf of the miners
union. Other peace officers will be
called to prove the contention that the
troops are unnecessary and that Gold
field is peaceful and in no need of in
junction or other measures.

Garry Hermann Says Teams in
Big Leagues Are More
Evenly Matched.

New York, Jan. 11.-That 1908 will
be a banner year for professional base
ball is the opinion expressed by Presi-
dent Garry Hermann of the national
commission, in a letter published here
yesterday. In the letter Hermann
says:
Il believe that the present year holds
even better prospects for baseball than
there were results in 1907
Through the fundamentally OF the
national commission and the National
Association Of Minor League Clubs. the
various baseball interests are being
drawn closer and closer together in a
more friendly cooperation, with the
natural result that evils are being elm
mated and beneficial features evolved
that cannot but work to the best in
tereSts of the great national game. In
my opinion the race in both National
and American leagues will be more ex-
citing in 1908 than it was in 1907. 1t is
plain that the weaker teams on both
circuits have been strengthened more
than the stronger ones. This means
that the second division teams will be
tougher propositions IN 1908 than they
were in 1907.
And with closer races than hereto
fore the patronage is certain to be
greater than ever"

a. A. U. Needs General Cleaning Up.

The Amateur Athletic union seems to
be having its own troubles these days,
brought about by trying to force on the
Olympic team which is to represent
America at the London games next
year d manager whom the members of
that team do not want. BY its action
It has driven some Of the best athletes
In America outside of its ranks Nor is
this its only trouble. Its officers have
suspended nearly all Of the leading col
lege basketball teams Of the east for
meeting teams not playing under sane
ton of the A A u. From this dis
tance, it seems as if there is something
radically wrong with the A A. u and
its manner of doing business. 1t does
not seem to stand well with the col
leges or the Y. NJ. G. A. branches of the
country, but just what is at the bot
tom of the trouble, the writer is unable
to understand It seems as If the sup
posed governing body of amateur ath-
letics in America should be able to bet
ter handle the sports under its jurisdic-
ton, or supposedly under its jurisdic-
ton Isn't it about time the whole gov
eminent of amateur sports be changed
and an association formed to take over
the combined interests of the United
States and formulate set of rules
equitable to all which can and which
will be enforced?

which played two games in Utah
against the salt Lake Y. NJ. c. A. and
lost both of them, are now fairly start
ed on their eastern tour. Up until last
Thursday night the Alaskans have
played three games since leaving Utah,
and won all three by decisive scores.
The first team was the Wyoming uni
versity at Laramie, and Wyoming was
defeated. Then the crack Cheyenne
team, which has claimed the western
championship for several years, was the
next team to fall by the wayside. On
Thursday night the Boulder team, the
crack university team of Colorado, was
played on its own grounds and beaten
by a score of 55 to 80. Is Ect this food
for thought for those who have their
doubts about Utah's superiority in baS-
ketball over all other states in the coun-
try? And here is a little prediction.
The Alaskans will continue their jour
ney eastward with mighty few de-
feats, because they are a strong team,
and if they choose to stop at Utah on
their way home, they will be beaten
again.

NELSON RULING FAVORITE
Ogden Expects Many Fight Fans
Will Come to See
Rattle

Ogden, Jan. 1.-THE demand for seats
to see the Nelson-Clifford fight on Mon
day night increased greatly today. The
indications are that one OF the most not
able gatherings Of sports ever assembled
in this city will be at the ringside. A tel
egram received today by Promoter Quincy
announced that 200 enthusiasts from Bing-
ham would come up by special train to
see the match This will make three spe-
cial trains from the south. Large reser-
vaticns for seats have been made by per-
sons from the north, east and west.
Quincy admitted yesterday that he
would probably experience some difficulty
in accommodating the crowd. The Grand
opera house, In which the fight will be
pulled off. seats 100 people. In addition
to this large number of ringside seats
will be put in. as well as other temporary
seats which should bring the seating ca
pacity of the house up to near 20O0.
The most important bet made here was
made today, when $500 to 500 was wagered
on Nelson. Other bets have been made
on basis of about 10 to s. with Nelson
on the long end Clifford is advising his
friends to place their money on him and
says that he is confident of winning the

slaughts of a man who does not know
the meaning of the word punishment
Why, Nelson would rather stop a blow
with his jaw any time than with his
arms. 1t is not as much trouble. He
likes it and smiles and the poor deluded
boxer who is throwing the entire weight
of his body into those blows begins,
after a time, to realize that he is up
against a man whose physical makeup
defes all the laws of nature. 1t is this
that disheartens and discourages Mel
sons adversaries-and wins his fights.
This is what Clifford must overcome
if he meets the Dane of bygone days on
Monday night. If the Dane of today
has a weakened body from the effects
of past beatings. then the task will be
much easier and Clifford may be re-
turned the winner. And it is this ele-
ment of uncertainty that is creating
the interest in the fight.
