EXPECT RADICAL CHANGE
AT PURPLE" UNIVERSITY

Radical changes in the athletic sys-
tenn at Northwestern University are
due I'm the immediate future as a re-
suit of a meeting of a number of the
public alumni recently. II was de-
cided that the only recourse for North
western was a complete revision of the
coaching system, and new coaches,
which is interpreted to mean that
Athletic Director Billesby and Coach
Herr may be let out to make way for
the alumni coaches.
The meeting was attended by Pres
ident Abram w. Harris of the Unlver-
sity and a number of old and two
present athletic captains. The ex-
captains who were there are A. III.
Culver, Harry /. Allen and Alton John
son. Roy Jackson, the present lead
er Of the baseball team and John
Manley, who has been elected to head
the 1910 football squad were also pres
emit Besides these, there were a num-
Ter of former students who have kept
up their interest in the athletic well
fare of the school.
The entire situation was gone over
i'm a thorough manner and the final
conclusion was that the only hope was
a complete change. Comparison with
other schools showed that the North
western coaches had as much, If not
i'm some instances, more, material to
choose from than did some OF those
schools from whom the purple was
forced TO accept defeat, and that il
athletics were properly conducted al
the Evanston institution there was nc
reason why Northwestern should not
turn out winning teams.
1t was decided that there would be-
four or five alumni coaches to assist
whoever should be selected as regular
coach for the football team next fall
: complain having been made at thu
injecting that there has been too mucl
tendency on the part Of the coaches
in the past to fatty refuse the prefer.
ed assistance of the graduates.

GAY BASEBALL SQUAD Is
READY FOR 1910 SEASON
Line-Up Of Stampmill Team is
Practically the Same as
Last Years.
WOULD LIKE TO JOIN LEAGUE

AT a recent meeting. the members
Of the Gay baseball team practically
completed arrangements for the com
ing season and 1t is assured that the
llne-up will include all of the stars of
teams which have represented Gay in
other years. Probably the most i'm
nortant change in the team will be the
playing of Doc Roach, formerly of the
Wolverine team i'm the center field
position. Roach is not positively sign
ed by the Gay nine, but has given that
aggregation assurances that he will
play there.
The lineup as II looks now is:
Catchers, Mike Buddo and b. Ne
ganauer; pitchers. August St George;
first base, j. Pascoe; second base, Will
La F'leech; third base, Arthur Beau
doin; short stop, Peter Godin; center
field. Doc Roach; right field Peter
Beaudoin left field. John Halter and
substitutes, A. Beaudoin and Charles
Miller
1t was reported that Mike Buddo,
who has played with the Gay team
for several seasons, would be signed
by one of the iron country teams this
year but such is not the case. He win
be seen in the Gay lineup.
New uniforms have been ordered
for the team, and will probably be re-
ceived i'm a short time. The uniforms
will be gray and white and should add
10 the appearance of the players.
The members of the Gay team would
be glad to affiliate with the projected
copper country league, and will prob
ably take the matter up i'm the very
near future. No steps have been TAX
en- yet to organize a Keweenaw coun-
~ league or a league composed of
teams from the northern section of
Houghton county and the Gay fans
would willingly support team i'm the
copper country league.

TIGERS TOOK KEENE UP.
Story is Just Out of How Charge Came
About

Ann Arbor, Mich, March 1.-THE
story of how Keene Fitzpatrick, the
trainer of Michigan's athletes, hap
pened to accept Princeton's offer has
just leaked out, and IL is a fact that
Fitzpatrick himself was the most sur
prised man on the campus when it was
finally decided.
For two years Princeton had made
overtures to the great little man" of
Michigan. and each time he had turned
down their offers. But at Christmas
time. there were rumors that Prince
ton had again approached him, but at
that time Fitzpatrick denied any in
tcntion Of quitting Michigan. one day
friend met Fitzpatrick on the street
and questioned him as to the truth of
the rumor
We'll, it's this way" said Fitzpat-
rick, they wrote me and asked me
what salary I'd come there for. other
years they had made their own price
and I guess I've stopped all negotia-
tons by putting the figure up to $1,000
a year. OF course, have not heard
from them since, nor do / ever expect
to-"
But Princeton did not hesitate. The
Tigers took up his terms and few
days later Keene was surprised to re-
ceive a contract through the mails.

CAMBRIDGE AND OXFORD
MEET IN ANNUAL RACE

LONDON, March 3-Sport-loving
London is depopulated of it's rowing
enthusiasts today, and an unprecedent-
ed crowd is lined up along the Thames
this morning, eagerly awaiting the
contest of strength, skill and endu-
rance between the "Wet bobs'' of Cam
bridge and Oxford. The course las
usual, is from Putney to Mortlake.
Oxford adherents believe that institu-
ton will repeat it's victory of last year
when the dark blue oarsmen won for
!he first time since 1905. Cambridge
men are quite as hopeful of the chances
of the light blue crew, and to the out
slider the indications are all for close
and exciting contest.
Today's regatta is the sixty-seventh
dual rowing meet between Oxford and
Cambridge. OF the past events, oxford
has won thirty five, and Cambridge
thirty, while one, in 1877, was a dead
heat
The distance OF the course is little
short of four miles. The best record
was made in 1898, by Oxford,

The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1910-03-23

1890 the Cambridge crew exactly re-
peated this time, so the rivalry in that
respect is even. While both univer-
stiles have good crews in today's race,
it is hardly expected that the record
will be equaled. The time of OxfOrd's
winning crew last year was 10 min
utes and so seconds. Of the last twelve
regattas, Cambridge has won eight,
tending to prove that the light blue
oarsmen are tending of late years to
superiority over their ancient rivals.
Besides r. G. Bourne, the crack
stroke only two of last years, victori-
Gus Oxford men are in today's boat,
while Cambridge has suffered great
loss in the absence of the famous
stroke, D. c. r. Stuart, who stroked
the light blue shell to victory three
times in the annual contest prior to it's
defeat last year.
Owing to the fact that today falls in
Holy Week, the crews are under the
displeasure of the clergy whose par
ishes are situated near the course over
which the beat race will be roWed.
