IDAHO PREPS PLAY
s. A. A. &. TONIGHT

With an all star aggregation of
basket ballers the Idaho Props in
vaded Spokane today and tonight
will open their holiday season here
with a game with the crack five of
the S. A. A. c. Wednesday night
the ldahoans will line up against
the Y. NJ. c. A. aggregation.
Captain McPhee OF the clubmen
is determined that his crew shall
annex the Idaho game and has put
them through a week of training
that should spell victory for the loo
ais. The opening game of the sea
son, that with the W. S. C. team,
went to the collegians after five
minutes of extra play, and while
the fans were well satisfied with
the showing of the clubmen, a vic
tory is in order and with the i'm

ing the long end of the score.
The Idaho quintet is not to be
despised, however, for it is re-
ported that they have the best
team in years and are masters of a
dazzling number of plays and have
in their lineup a number of stars.
The lineup of the local five, as
announced by Manager Al Melin,
follows: Warren Belt, Howard
Slater and Alfred Belt, forwards;

thousand fight enthusiasts ON the
Frisco side of the bay.
More great battles have been
fought in the sunshine arena than
in any other open air pavilion ever
constructed, and probably, in an in
closed structure, for that matter
barring the old Mechanics pavilion
which was destroyed by the fire OF
April, 1906.
The ring was given it's baptism
of blood when Tommy Burns top
pied over Squires, the Australian
ounce, in a minute and half, on
July 4, 1907. Two months later an.
other championship battle was
fought and new chamion was
made when Stanley Ketchel, com
ing out of comparative obscurity
won the weller and middle weight
titles from Joe Thomas, after one
of the most sensational fights ever
seen on the Pacific coast.
Jack Johnson made his bow there
in November of the same year, his
unfortunate opponent being Jim
Flynn, who got a job making mete-
geological observations in the elev-
enth round. Then followed in rapid
succession fights between Squires
and Jack Twin" Sullivan, Al Kauf-
man and Jack Irwin" Sullivan,
Owen Moran and Abe Attell,
Ketchel and Mike Twin" Sullivan,
Britt and Mcfarland, the two Cans

land, Hyland-Leach Cross, Monte

bett and Johnny Fryne, Johnson
and Kaufman and last Of all, the
JohnsOn-Ketchel fight.
The arena nestles at the base of
one of the Coast range foothills and
gained the sobriquet sunshine
from the fact that although more
than a score of fights have been
pulled off there in the open, it has
never rained on a fight day.

MUCH INTEREST
In CLASS WORK

Last season the Association men
considered the feature events Of
least Observation-Disclosures, track,
aquatics, etc.-but this season the
gymnasium classes take the first
place." said c. Hale Kimble. physi-
cal instructor at the Y. M. c. A., in
discussing the enormous growth of
the classes this season.
One night last week 20 attended
the young mems class, by far the
largest in the history Of the Asso-
citation. The business mems class,
has grown to such large proportions
that as many as fifty are on the
floor at one time with other
classes In proportion.
There is a greater interest
shown in the classes this year than
ever before" declared the physical
director, and although next month
will witness almost thirty special
events, none of the classes will
suffer and the regular schedule 60

RED HUGHES TO
BOX VANCOUVERITE

Red Hughes, the clever 1O5
pound boxer of the S. A. A. c. who
defeated Tunney. the p. N. A.
champ, in the recent meet with
Portland, is to represent the local
club against Vancouver in the inter-
club smoker on January IA. Lyle
(kid Mccoy, who was slated to APP
pear as a member of the inter-club
team, cannot make 105 pounds, so
must wait until the Seattle meet
before taking his whirl at the inter
club game.
Mccoy weighed 11S pounds last
night and is taking on weight daily.
Within a month it will be almost
impossible for him to go lower than
115 pounds, so he is eliminated
from the 105 pound class.
While Mccoy at 105 was picked
as as ure winner over the Van
couver entrant, Hughes is a more
scientific lad and can be depended
upon to annex a victory in easy
fashion, unless Vancouver has a
phenom to uncover on the 14th.
