only a few days of training.

after the go with Nelson last year but
he made no public appearance and only
a favored few of the fans were given
an opportunity to look him over. Since

Sycamore yesterday exhibited a letter

the California promoter offered the
Sycamore cyclone a match with Bat
Ting Nelson in a 45 round fight on the
coast in July. Coffroth, who writes
from New York. asked for an immedi-
ate reply and terms. Thompson has
wired acceptance.
Nelson is tied up with theatrical con-
tracts, Coffroth writes. but has given
him a promise that he will take the
Sycamore fighter on in July. Coffroth
figures Thompson a good drawing card
on the coast
Thompson has been matched to fight

ST. MARYS SQUAD MEETS
HUSKY u. OF C. PLAYERS

The old and new proteges of
Mother Howe mixed it yesterday in
a friendly Rugby tussle on St. Mary's
campus, and the L. c. players won out
with 10 to score. 1t was the uni
versity's second team pitted against
the red and blue players, who are to
face Santa Clara Thanksgiving day.
Howe and Faulkner, st. Mary's
coaches, express themselves as highly
satisfied with the showing made by the
collegians. Following instructions the
st. Mary's players contented themselves
with putting up a defensive game.
Harry Simpson played full in the first
half with success Leonhardt, st,
Mary's regular fullback, was not in

proposition that they pool their in
terests, put their heads together and
street arena. Coffroth, however. only
scoffed at Gleason then. He figured
as the logical man to land at that time
as there were no dangerous rivals In
the field.
But subsequent events showed Coff-
roth where he was wrong, and gave
Gleason as strong if not stronger
footing than the man who has handled
most of the big matches in this city.
Playing his cards well, Gleason man
aged to secure the site for a great
pie of angels to back him and started
for New York fully equipped to make
a strong bid for the greatest of all
ring matches.
feared. He had as his inside man and
co-operator Sam Berger, the man be-
hind Jeffries. Berger and Gleason are
lifelong friends and business associates.
When Gleason arrived in Gotham all
those On the inside saw the play. They
put two and two together and added
the column up. They saw that Gleason
had ace in the hole with Berger
working the Jeffries end of it. Nat
urally Berger and Jeffries were full of
denials, but these could not shake off
the suspicious.
Now comes the climax. Coffroth was
shrewd enough to see that Gleason had
1t on him many points. OF course his
pride was stung, but he figured that if
better than no bread. Shaking off his
injured vanity for the time, he went
right TO Gleason the other day and put
the matter up to him. Some of this
was printed in the press dispatch
from New York, but the real cold facts
of the case were held out. Nobody
limited very strongly at the combina-
ton.
Gleason has got Coffroth going south
now. 1t is his time to do the scoffing
and the loud growing. Coffroth was
not bashful in saying that heFfeared
Gleason more than any of hfs other
rivals. This is the reason why he has
been holding many secret meetings
with the baseball man. He would rather
play the sure game now than take the
gamblers chance.
Gleason and Coffroth used to be part
ners here in the fighting business in
the old days, but they had business
quarrels and finally drifted apart. But
there is no reason why they can not
get together. kiss and make up again.
especially as they are playing for such
a great stake. United they are in n
position to beat them all. but sepa-

This deal, if 1T is put through. will
make it bad for Graney and McCarey.
The latter is already on his way to
New York to submit his bid, Will :
the former says he will start within
the next few days. Perhaps they, too,

Football Branded Dangerous
By Chicago University

CHICAGO, Nov. 1s.-Football is in
for another overhauling. Members of
the University of Chicago board of
physical culture and athletics, at u
special meeting yesterday, branded the
gridiron game as needlesSly and pro-
tion aiming at important changes in
the playing rules to guard against ac-
cidents.
The Chicago officials went on record
as opposed to the game in it's present
form and instructed Coach A. A. Stagg
to so notify the conference represen-
tatives. Coach Stagg will raise the
question at the big eight meeting
tomorrow afternoon.
This move is the first of the sort
taken by a western college, and is ad-
mittedly the outgrowth of popular pro-
test against the heavy annual toll OF
deaths and injuries on the gridiron.
