j. OF U. WANTS RETURN
GAME WITH GOLDEN

At the meeting OF the University of
Utah athletic council held Thursday aft
ernCOn it was decided to ask the Golden
school of mines of Colorado to play a
return game with the Univ ersity at Salt
Lake, Nov. c. The University plays the
Golden team at Golden, Oct. %. On &C
count of the failure of the Montana School
of Mines to play the game scheduled for
the coming Saturday, the University
schedule is upset and there is room for
one more game.
The University managers have found
considerable difficulty in getting rates for
the football team. In previous years the
management has secured a rate of Sl7
per man to Denver. This year they have
been able to secure only a rate of S35
per man, so that they will be unable
to take as many men as in previous years
The council elected Thomas sheldon as
assistant manager of athletics for the
coming year sheldon is a junior this
year.
Acting on a petition presented by the
senior class, the class was given permits
sion to erect an arch over the students
gateway to the athletic field. A special
gate is being made where the students
will present their cards emitting them
to admission to all games. The senior
class VIII erect the arch and place their
numerals upon it.

Cavanaugh, the stable jockey, be taken

MOndon rode the SantellO gelding TO VIC

Of the meeting. Clark has many friends
here, and was warmly welcomed when
ne put in an appearance at the track
George Masters and Ben Levy, well
known followers of the game, were other
arrivals from Vancouver.

Next Wednesday will be a gala occa-
sion at the Buena Vista track. The
management has set aside that day to
be known as Eagles day, at the request
of prominent members of the local aeTie.
The program will have a decidedly Eagle
suggestion to it. The feature event will
be designated the Eagles handicap, and
it will be framed up to bring together the
best horses at the track. The distance
of the race has not yet been decided upon,
but a route which VIII insure good
field will be taken. The other races will
probably be named after terms or insti-
tutiOns identified with the big order, and
as the members of the local aerie will
lend their aid to make the occasion
memorable one.

It is the consensus of opinion that the
distinction of being accounted the best
horse now quaTtered in Utah lies between
GlOriO, the star of W. P. Fines stable, and
Ethon, the crack in the Pasadena stable.
1t is a mOOted question which of the two
is entitled to be considered champion. The
matter of supremacy may be settled in
of training, having had his shoes taken
off about a week ago, but Owner w. p.

KETCHEL Will NOT CARRY FIGHT
PUGS in SHAPE But NERVOUS

San Francisco. Oct. 14-Jack johnson
ana Stanley Ketchel. the principals in
Saturdays match for the heavyweight
championship, spent strenuous day in
their respective training camps. Neither
needed any additional work, for both are
in the pink of condition, but they worked
furiOusly under the command of the NOV
ing picture operator who spent the great
er part of the day taking the pictures
which VIII be used as an Introduction to
the real fight pictures.
Ketchel has surprised the pugilistic
world by announcing that he will not
carry the fight to his opponent as has
been his custom in all of his previous
matches. He declares that Johnson, as
the champion, must do the leading, and
says that he will not tear into the big fell
low unless the latter shows unexpected
weakness from the start. On the other
hand, JohnsOn's manager asserts that
his man will go after Ketchel from the
sound of the gong to score an early
knockout
When reminded that the picture privi-
lege might suffer if an early knockout
resulted Manager Little declared that
even the prospect of this loss would not
prevent the champion putting his OppO-
nent down for the count in the first
round If possible.
Betting on the big match showed an in
crease today. but the odds remain at 10
10 |, with the champion on thu long end.
Although no change in the odds occurred,
II is believed at the pOOlrOOms that the
flow of short end money which began to
day viii soon cause q shortening OF the
price. Considerable money is being wa
'gered on the even proposition that ketchel
will stay fifteen rounds against the cham
Ipion.
Both of the fighters are palpably ner-
vous on the eve of the battle, and of the
two ketchel seems to show the greater
strain. Johnson weighed today and tipped
the beam at 1876 pounds. two pounds light
er than he expects to be when he climbs

The Anchorage crack filly, in the first
race, and Jane Swift, one Of the Pasa-

with but few exceptions, were fighting

excitement.
The third race, at one mile, was ths
headliner in many ways Buckthorn, the
horse with the garrison finish, was the
favorite,. with however, heavy play on

We're given practically no chance 70 win

Just before the saddling bell the judges
took CavanaUgh off BuckthOrn and put
Mondon up, giving as the reason for the
change that Buckthorn, the logical IA
YOrlte, was not getting enough play IN
the ring At once BuckthOrn's price
dropped from to 10 less than even
money, and a good many tickets on 1iT2
were purchased. The play on Ethel Day
still kept up.
The start saw the grey mare away in
front. with Charlie Paine trailing ana
BuckthOrn bringing up the rear. Round
ing into the stretch, Ethel Day still held
the pace ana was going good. In the
last sixteenth, however, Charlie Paine,
under a good ride from Van Dusen, closed

The wise money on Ethel Day and the

his last out showed him back from the
winner in the time Of 1;43 2-5. Yester-

four other good horses of considerable

RED AND BLACK AGAIN
High School Wins From Tiff All the
Way After First Minutes
oe Dlau

The Salt Lake high school football team
continued to show form yesterday after
noon by defeating the Tiff team by a
score of 80 to 0. During the first five
minutes of play the Tiff lads had the
best of it, due to the fact that the Red
and Black warriors were a trifle over
confident. The Tiff boys rushed the
ball from the center of the field by a
series of bucks by "Bant' ROmney, Frank
Parker and Harvey Snow, TO the Red and
Black five-yard line, where the ball was
lost for the first time on downs.
From that time on, however, the Tiff
lads fought hard, but only to be swept
aside by Stout and Pete ROmney, who
broke through the line for repeated gains.
Stout pushed the ball over. lie Roy
Workman caught a perfect forward pass
by Fitzpatrick and ran the length of the
field, crossing the line for the second
touchdown. The first half ended 20 to 0
for the High school
The playing of Lawrence Godbe and
Blain Atwood, for the High school, was
noticeably good, while Parker, Snow, o.
ROmney and ''Bant' ROmney did the best
work for Tiff.

through the ropes next Saturday Ketchel
remains at his announced weight of 10
pounds. This he declares to be his nat
ural weight and the point at which he
feels the strongest.
squabbIe Over Money.
As a result of a disagreement between
the principals over the status of the for
felt money of $1,000, it looked for d time
tonight as though the Ketchel-Johnson
fight would not take place. Willis Britt,
KetchePs manager, stated later that an
agreement had been reached, however,
and declared that the battle would be
fought on Saturday, according TO
schedule
The first word of the controversy came
from Promoter Coffroth, who announced
that unless he brought Johnson to terms
there was little prospect that the fight
would take place He FASTENED TO the
negro's training quarters on the ocean
beach in an automobile Immediately after
ward.
The forfeit money was posted several
months ago, one man placing his S2,UD
in the hands of an eastern stakeholder
and the other entrusting his to William
Naughton, the local sporting writer. II
was understood that this money was to
be placed as a side bet
johnson demanded today that the
money be gathered in one mans hands
Britt and KetcheI demurred to this. as
the odds are three to one against them
today and they disliked to place their
money at even odds; johnson insisted,
and Coffroth dashed 70 the front TO
patch up an understanding.
It is said that Naughton has trans
ferred the money in his hands, but it IS
not possible to learn who the new stake
holder is. In view of Britts declaration,
there is room to believe that ketchel has
acceded to Johnson's demands. but there
is still a feeling of uncertainty in local
sporting circles.
