JOHNSON SURE ABOUT
NO LONGER SCHEDULE

Chicago, Dec. president Johnson Of
the American league last night declared
there was no truth in the report that six
club owners in his circuit favored d
schedule Of les games. He said the whole
league was opposed to frightening the
schedule; furthermore, that it would not
stand for any change except one provid-
ing for less games than are played at
present
He believes the National league wants
the longer season, but il would be almost
impossible, of course, for the change to
be made by one organization and not the
other.

There was much disappointment among
Thursday morning when the announce

City had been called off on account of
the storm. The members of the squad

THINKS NELSON BETTER
MAN THAN AID W0LGAST

A spectator at the Wolgast-Powen
fight says about the winners chances
with Nelson:
whether Wolgast would have a
chance with Nelson is doubtful, in a
long distance fight. The German would
have to show more punch than he did
against Powell A close observer could
see that he was tired at times from
the pace he had been travelling and If
he couldn't knock Powell out in 20
rounds the Durable Dane, unless he
has gone back woefully, ought TO be
on top at the finish"

A committee should promote and han
die the match and that the men were
to wrestle for a stipulated per cent
of the gross gate receipts, win, lose
or draw.
In his objections Karp stood firm,
his position being that an amateur as
ISOLATION had no business handling
professional wrestling bout. He had
no other objections to the terms.
Inasmuch as the position of the
Y. NJ. c. A. in regard to the matches

secretary of the physical department,
is needed to clear the situation. Last

it goes out of its line to handle pro-
fessional wrestling bouts Prof. esslon-

there are few cases to act upon as
precedent Here, however, we are
forced to meet a condition and we can
meet it only in a way that will give
protection both to the Y. NJ. c. A,
the friends of the association and TO
Mr.. Yokel.
THE Salt Lake association is not able
financially to pay Mr.. Yokel the salary
that would be needed to fully COmpen-
safe him for the work and time he gives
to the association. His work is of
very high order and he brings many
men to the association to take part in
his line of work.
THAT being the case we felt that it
was no more than right that he be al
lowed to use his ability as a wrestler
to ma Ike up in outside matches reaS-

What's What in Sports
All the Time
UTAH TRACK MEN
GIVEN SWEATERS
All Teams Now Provided for
Students to Work on Ath-
IetiC Field.

At the meeting Of the university ath-
lctic council held Thursday afternoon the
track team of the year was awarded
sweaters. The order for the sweater viii
be sent in as soon as the committee of
the council decides upon the size Of the
"b'' which will be allowed According 10
the student body constitution, the track
men are allowed TO wear fiVe-inch ''U''
and the members Of the football squad
an eiEht-inch "U.' The athletic council,
however since they are the ones who
ray for the sweaters, have decided TO
take the matter into their own hands and
decide upon the size of the ~" which the
several athletic teams will be allowed to
wear.
This is the first time in the history Of
Utah athletics that the track team has
been given any recognition for the work
which they have done for the good of
the school Up until last year the foot
ball men were the only ones who were
awarded the sweater. At the close of the
basketball season last year the basket
ball men were awarded sweaters. As
result of this action the members OF the
track team presented a petition to the
athletic council asking To be given some
recognition for their work.
Girls Heard From.
At the meeting of the council, a petition
was presented from the newly organized
Women's Athletic association, asking for
& representative on Jne aJnleuc council
No definite action was taken although II
was generally felt that the WOmens ath-
letic association had no good reason why
IL should have a representative on the
athletic board.
The council also decided To begin work
on the sodding of the football field at
once. The plans for the water system,
which will be used L. sprinkle the lawn,
have been completed. The order for the
pipe has been let and it viii be hauled
TO the university grounds today. On Sat
urday the council has received permits
sion from the professors who have classes
10 dismiss the classes In order that the
students will be able to go to the field
and dig the trenches. When the digging
of the trenches and the laying of the
pipes is completed the students will be
taken to the university lunch Toom5
