ORGANIZE TO BOOST
AMERICAN FOOTBALL
Representatives of Colleges and Pre-
paratory Schools Meet at L. A.
Athletic Club and Form
Association

Representatives from most all the
schools and colleges in Southern Cali
fornia that play the American game of
football held a meeting last night at
the Los Angeles Athletic club. The
purpose of this meeting was to form an
organization that would concentrate it's
efforts in perpetuating the Ameri-
can game in this section. After con-
siderable discussion an organization
was effected, and Prof. Wilson OF the
Pasadena high school was elected pres
ident, and Haines, graduate of the
Chicago university, was made secre-
tary and treasurer.
Dean Cromwell, the coach at the Uni
YersitY of Southern California;; Craw-
ford of the Long Beach school and
Haines were chosen to draw up the by
laws and constitution of the associa-
tion. Coach Gorton Of Occidental, Will
son of Pasadena high and a represen-
tative of the Santa Ana high school
were elected to compose a committee
to recommend to the national rules
committee whatever changes they con-
sidered would be a betterment in the
national football playing code.
Jones, representing the Redlands uni
versity, recommended that two di-
visions be formed, one division to look
after the welfare of the high schools,
assisting in arranging their schedules
and boosting the game in general The
other division would give their energy
to boosting the American game among
the colleges. This proposition met
with general approval, and it was
agreed by all that the colleges must
cooperate with the preparatory schools
in order to perpetuate the game.
1t was decided to write to all the
high schools at once with the view of
arranging next seasons schedule. In
arranging this schedule the relative
strength of the teams matched will be
considered, which will result in even
matches.
The association will arrange for COM
petent officials to judge the contests.

BOSTON CLUBS FAVOR
TEN-R0UND MATCHES

tional club is also out with an an
nouncement that three ten-round bouts
will make up it's program at its next

The reduction in the number of
rounds is a new departure here. Jimmy

Among the Boxers

Frank Picato put in busy afternoon
yesterday exercising for near an hour
at the Eastside Athletic club gym, END
ing up with five rounds of boxing with
Paul Roman and three with Charlle
Picato. Picato seemed to be In great
shape, weighing 1861 after his workout,
which is within hailing distance of the
1873 mark at which he and Ad Wolgast
are to fight Tuesday evening at Mecca
reys pavilion.
Wolgast has been hitting the ring eX-
ercise so strenuously since he returned
from Murrieta that he took a vacation
yesterday, doing nothing in the way OF
training. He will resume active duties
this afternoon and will continue until
Monday, although he will not do much
in the mitt line. Wolgast is still as
sanguine as ever, and wagered more
money yesterday that he would stop
Picato before the ten rounds were
ended.
Frank Conley is striving hard at Ven
ice to get in shape for Kid Cleveland,
which bout will be the semi windup for
the Wolgast-P -Picato go. Conley will try
and make quick work of Cleveland, for
he realizes that his chances of getting
on with Danny webster or Monte Attell
hinge to a great extent on the outcome
Of the battle with Cleveland. The dusky
bantam is training at the pavilion and
is really doing more in the line of prep
aration than for any of the fights he
has had in this city. Cleveland has
been waiting for an opportunity to get
on with some bantam of class, and he
will make the most Of the occasion, ac-
cording TO his talk during the last two
days
Dougherty is training with Wolgast,
and in taking on Joe Liyermore he will
meet one of the toughest lads of the
12S-pound division. Dougherty always
puts up a snappy fight, and his work
with Wolgast will improve his chances
for victory. Livermore is at work at
the pavilion, and expects to be in shape
to put up battle which will bring him
the long end of the purse.
Paul Roman is training with Frank
Picato at Eastside and will make his
debut in the local ring when he hooks
up with Al Rogers in a siX-round con-
test. Rogers is getting ready al Re
dondo Beach, and is trying to take off
a few pounds of superfiuous flesh so as
to come into the ring at 1876 pounds.

sary that it will not be interfered with

PRINCETON, N. J., Dec. 9.-Radical
changes in the football coaching sys-
tenn at Princeton, and particularly the
employment of a permanent profess
sional coach, are suggested in a state
ment by Howard Henry of the football
advisory committee given out here yes
terday.
1T is an all years job to turn out
a successful football team" said Mr..
Henry 1.-THE men must be built up in
the gymnasium during the winter, must
have spring practice with some regular
idea of development and then must be
coached along the same lines when the
season opens. A head football coach
should be man who can come to the
university for his entire time and be-
come the absolute head of the football

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, N.
Y, Dec. 9.---With the beginning of the
fourth day of the six-day bicycle race
the record-breaking pace which the
teams have maintained from the start
was found to be telling severely on
several of the contestants. keegan of
the Galvn-Keegan team was officially
released early in the morning, and ii
was announced that he was seriously
ill with congestion of the lungs. His
partner, Calvin. remained on the
track. hoping to double up with some
other contestant during the next few
hours.
The seven leaders continued the
steady grind through the early morn
ing hours, keeping about twenty miles
ahead of the record Several attempts
by the four teams which dropped back
into second place last night to regain
their lost ground were foiled by the
watchful group Of seven. The score
at o'clock this morning, the end OF
the seventy-seventh hour, was as fol-
lows:
Seven Leaders

The MacFarland- Clark team was
another of the leading combinations
broken up during the morning. Mac

broken finger that he retired at 1l;52

The Negroes Object.

A bill has been introduced in the
legislature to prevent inter-maniage Of the
races. The bill is meeting with strong
opposition by majority Of the republ-
can Legislators and also the negroes of
the state and it is doomed.
In commenting on the bill, the Tope-
ka Plaindealer, the official organ Of the
colored people Of the state, becomes
sarcastic. The Plaindealer says:
"A bill was introduced in the house
one day this week by some young fop
to prevent the marriage Of whites, blacks
or yellow races. He reserved the In
dian. as the white man is not through
robbing him. Every time some negro
accidentally marries relative Of repre-
sentative in some state he will always be
found pushing Jim Crow legislation .
