which to equip it,
1t Is a regrettable feature that. for
the last half III Yost's tenure OF office
at Michigan. his teams have been far
below those OF 1o01-4. Thai such has
been the case goes without saying.
The shortened schedule, the elimina-
ton for several seasons OF spring and
early fall practice and a training table,
were all factors that tended to exag-
gerate a condition primarily in vogue
through the sad falling off in Michi-
gan's football material
When Yost leaves Michigan, what
then? Who will take up the burden
of the man who has always stood for
the acme of football strategy? Tn
questionably it should be one of the
men who for so many seasons exem-
plitied the ideas Of the great tutor by
active play on the field. Hany Of
Yosts stars have succeeded as coach
ers. The most noted success la I'M
doubtedly Dan McGugin, the veteran
guard. In all probability he is out of
the question, however, as h1 has
sigend long-term contract with Van
derbilt, Joe Curtis, Herrnstein, Hes
ton, Snow, Redeem. Longman - all
these and others have shown ability
to teach what Yost has taught them.
Most prominent just now, perhaps,
is Longman, for it was his team that
laid low the Wolverines on Saturday,
the second time in nine seasons that
the feat has been performed by a.
western team. From indications at
Ann Arbor, Saturday. Longman might
not be averse to tackling the job, either.

RECORD STANDS

Now comfortably settled in his home
in Paterson, N. j., James Mccormick,
the former Chicago National league
pitcher who established what is gem
orally credited with being the worlds
record for consecutive victories, mod
estly claims no laurels for his great
pitching feat.
His interest in the national sport is
still unabated, and he was close fol-
lower of the races in the major leagues,
this past season, although his SYM
pathies were more directed toward the
elder organization, where he made his
remarkable run of tw, dozen straight
victories.
Jim does not view the string of sue
cesses in the light of a record breaking
achievement, for, a. he says, it was
not unusual for any pitcher to win ten
and fifteen games In row without at
tracing any particular attention from
the press or fans.

Kansas City, Nov. 16.--After an hour
and fourteen minutes of hard wrestling
during which both men appeared to be
doing their upmost, Frank Gotch of
Humboldt, Ia, tonight remains the
champion wrestler Of the world, having
defeated Dr. Benjamin f. Roller Of
Seattle, in straight falls here.
The first fall was gained in As min
utes and 20 seconds, the champion us
ing half Nelson and crotch hold. The
second he won with tho Furnishing toe
hold in q minutes and 80 seconds. In
the second fall after fifteen minutes of
fast work Roller got Gotch in a trying
position and for time it appeared al
most certain that the champions Shout
ders would touch the mat.

TO
GOVERN ALL SPORT.
TIME IS RIPE FOR TRI-sTATE ED.
UcATIoNAL INSTITUTION TO
GET OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
IMPERATIVE TO PROMOTE
SPORTS.

st. Paul Pioneer Press: Owing to
the numerous difficulties that have
arisen with the schedules among tho
state college teams this fall the real
need Of a conference that will bind
together the various institutions has
become apparent.
The matter was talked over infor-
mally at a meeting cf the football
squads of HamIine and Carleton at a.
purity banquet held at Mortified Fri
day night. The two schools have shar-
ed championship athletic honors for
the past decade and are looked upon
as the natural promoters of the new
organization.
The old Minnesota conference, which
went to pieces in 1905, was an impo-
tent factor at best, but served its pur-
pose for nearly ten years before VI
terminated in battle royal between
st. Thomas and Hamline. Manchester
sided in with the saints and Carleton
took sides with Hamline, and VIII an
the smoke cleared away the confer
ence fas an empty shell and there
after the representatives of the diff
ferent teams made up their own
dence that was not only tedious, but
involved the making of special con-
tracts and regulations in which there
was no arbIter to be had in any diff
Culties
Prof. A. w. Chandler of the Univer-
sity Of North Dakota, in a letter 70
the Hamline Athletic association,
stated that the time was ripe for the
resuming of an er-collegiate organi-
zation. He has carefully looked over
the situation in the two Dakotas and
none but friendly feelings exist any
where. The natural territory to con-
stitute a new conference is made up
by Minnesota and the two Dakotas.
Both Hamline and Carleton have
played football with the "U" of North
Dakota this fall and with Macalest sr
have met on the diamond for several
years Fargo college and the Fargo
aggies, and Mamlines track relations
with the South Dakota agricultural
school of BroolSings have been made
permanent. The Wisconsin schools
affiliate with Illinois and Michigan.
If the tri-state league is brought
about the following institutions are
expected to take part in it: ST. Thorn
as, Hanline, Carleton, Manchester, st.
Olaf, Parker, ST. Johns, ~" of North
Dakota, "U'' of South Dakota, Brook
ings aggies. Fargo aggies, Fargo col
lege and Yankton.
| The athletic management of Ham
line university is especially enthus
iastic regarding the prospects of a
new conference. Prof. Thomas ?.
Boyer. faculty manager of the Midway
school, said that the general trend Of
the true amateur spirit was very
strong among the colleges and, asked
regarding next years football prob
lens, remarked, "A conference will pc

SPORTING MAN is DEAD.

New York, Nov. 16.-Dan R. Stuart,
one of the best known sporting men of
the country, died at his home here yes
terday of Brights disease and heart
failure. Born So years ago in YER
mont he made his name in the west.
While in Dallas he sought to secure
permission for the Corbett- Fitzsimmons
fight and carried his arrangements so
far that Governor Culbertson called
special session of the Legislature to
prohibit prize fighting in the state.
Later he secured permission from
the Nevada legislature to hold fights
in that state and as result of his eff
forts the battle was finally brought
about in Carson City on March IL,

In the present article / am combining
myself TO a comparison of the bodily

studying these new pictures Of Jeff, 1
have my doubts as to whether the
white man will be axle to crush the
negro.
1 know what Jeffries was in other
fights. / saw him take hold Of Shar-
key in their first meeting and shake
him as mother 1halxes an unruly
child. 1t was test of strength we
had all looked forward 70. We had
seen Sharkey tearing around the ring
with Jim Corbett md Referee Frank
Carr clinging to his neck. as a couple
of hoboes might cling to the cow-catch-
er Of locomotive
JEFF Was thS Stronger.
When Jeffrfes and Sharkey were
matched we wondered who would be
the stronger, he sailor or the boiler
maker, and the question was settled in
Jeffries' favor the instant the navy
champion tried to assert himself in a
clinch.
That was twelve or thirteen years
ago, and doubt whether the Jeffries
of today will be able to tako any lib
critics with Johnson. 1 think. in fact.
the sooner the sporting public recog-
vnSg IT,
addition to being boxer, the sooner
we will be able to get a correct line on
the coming encounter.
Whatever may be said OF Jeffries,
the negro is undoubtedly in his prime.
His shoulder knobs have not begun to
.fiatten and he is as 1.-THE as a panther
When exercising with dumbbells-and
you can get an idea of his work in that
line from the Ketchel- Johnson pictures
--he throws his arms around and
brings his back, chest and muscles. into
play in way that suggests the con-
volutions of a boaconstricto-. 1 have
seen him throw strong boys like Frank
Childs and Sammy McVey around at
will in clinches, and I have always
been impressed with his great lifting
strength.
No Terrors for Him..
Johnson said on his arrival from
Australia that Jeffries viewed from
the strong man poit, had absolutely
no terrors for him. This caused some
Of us to watch the black man more
closely when he boxed Kaufman and
Ketchel. In the pulling and hauling
big kaufman, for all his blacksmith
fore arms, was bent this way and that
at will by the powerful negro.
AS for Ketchel, it was ludicruous to
see Johnson picking him up, swinging
him around and placing him on his
feet.
1t was not so long ago that it was
written that Jeffries, in most of his
encounters, was afraid of exerting his
full strength for fear of killing his adj
versary. Here is an affair in which I
think he can divest himself of all
wraps and cut loose with every ounce
of force he possesses. There is little
danger of his being a rested for muir
der.
And this is not a prophecy that JEFF
fries will be whippe,. 1t is simply an
expression of individual opinion to the
effect that Johnson is not a weakling,
physically, compared with Jeffries of
the present day.
