CAMP ON NoTRE DAME.
Famous Football Expert Gives Michi-
gan the Western Championship.

Walter Camp pays little attention to
the claims of Notre Dame for pre-
mier honors i'm the west. Here is the
way the eastern critic sizes up the
situation:
"Michigan's showing is superior to
that of Notre Dame, taking the whole
season and the schedules of both into
consideration. Michigan can absolute
ly claim the conference championship
because Minnesota, without the shade
of a doubt, won that by defeating Chi
cago and Wisconsin most decisive
ly, only to be overwhelmed in turn
by Yosts men.
ut is most doubtful that Notre
Dame could have beaten Minnesota at
any stage of the season. At any rate,
il didn't.
Il had not seen Michigan play this
year before the Notre Dame game.
but told Mr. Yost that very evidently
and would recover. His team didn't
look so good in that game. of course,
but any team that is losing takes on
the appearance of a set of dubs.
II would have liked to have at
tended the Minnesota game very much,
as believe it was& one of the
grandest games of the year. | was
much impressed with the spirit of the
Michigan men during the season, and
must say that Michigan will bear
watching when it meets the east next
year, if it has a truly representative
team.
ut was most remarkable for Yosts
men to suffer defeat and then rise
from its ashes and beat Penn and
Minnesota That resembles Yale pluck
and bulldog courage"

straight falls in minutes, 80 seconds,
and two minutes. IL seconds, respec-

Lehto is wonder at this style of
wrestling. He Intentionally allowed
Schultz his holds before both falls.
Schultz tried half-Nelson and Lehto
turned him over, pinning the Butte
man almost without attempting to
break the hold. Schultz is short, but
chunky, being built like barrel and
has prodigious amount of strength,
but Lehto is away and above him i'm

CHICAGO, April l0.-Gamhlers and
poolroom operators were plunged into
panic last night and early today by
several exciting raids in which l29
men were captured and locked up by
the detectives under the direction of
states Attorney Wayman.
The action was taken without the
knowledge of the police. When noti-
ned Mayor Busse expressed himself as
heartily in favor of the crusade. He
declared he would make an investiga-
ton of conditions and it is rumored
that there will be a shakeup in the
police department.
The energetic and sudden action of
the states attorney is said to have
been caused by reports the gamblers
had been boasting that they had him
fixed" and that the lid" would be
off so long as he was in the state
prosecutors office,
Early this morning detectives raid
ed downtown hotel, the tip having
gone out that a big game was in
progress among mon prominent in Chi

room in which the game was held the
occupants had disappeared, leaving
behind cards, chips, bank checks, none
of which had been signed, and. chief
of all, book containing, it is alleged,
the names and records of those who
had taken part in the play.
Among these names, it is said, are
those of bankers, brokers and mer-
