HIGH SCHOOL IN 1911 AT THE
BANQUET LAST NIGHT.

Last evening the members of the
high school football team enjoyed an
eight-course dinner at the Gardner
hotel, given by Superintendent Hoov-
er and Coach Kalmbach.
Just before the eats were brought
on, Mr., Hoover relieved the minds of
all by saying "We have assembled
here this evening to eat, there will be
no toasts this evening, so eat to
your hearts content"
After the last course was disposed
of, Mr.. Hoover announced that there
was some important business to be
attended to, and appointed Mr.. Kahn
bach to preside. Mr.. Kalmbach then
said that he believed the captain for
the 1911 team was to be elected this
evening, and spoke of the Importance
of this election.
Robert Nesbit, who starred at left
half this season, the midget who
scored the only points for his team,
in the Grand Forks and Minneapolis
games was unanimously elected

player. and will make a splendid
leader Of the boys next year.
The new captain was then called
upon to say a few words. Mr.. Nesbit
said he wished to thank the boys. and
said that he would do his best to hold
up the record of the F. H. S.
The boys then gave yells for the
new captain, Mr.. Hoover, and Coach
Kalmbach, after which they all left
rejoicing and saying 1t was the best
feed they ever attended.

FEW GOOD BOXERS
AT PRESENT time

It is doubtful is In the whole his
tory OF the ring there has ever been
such a scarcity OF really good pro-
fessional boxers. In the heavyweight
class, outside of Jack johnson, the
rest Of the so-called lighters are jokes,
and the big negro could probably whip
Sandy Ferguson, Al Kaufman, Jim
Barry Jack Burns, Tommy Burns
Jim Stewart, Con O'Kelley and any
other who may be overlooked in this
classification inside of twenty five
rounds il they could be induced to
meet him and he was figthing on the
level, for in fight where he was real
ly trying, 1t is good betting that none
of these men would last over ten
rounds, and some of them would not
last over two. If any good, husky
young fellow was to come along now,
who would have even the slightest
chance of beating the big Texas negro
the money he could make would be
fearful to think of, and, considering
this fact, it is very difficult to UNDER
stand who are playing college football
for small salary and their expenses,
or some Of the big huskies who are

Gus injuries in the ring are trifiing
as compared with the slaughter of the

YALE LOSES MORE
men THAN HARVARD

Guessing as to who will captain the
next Harvard and Yale teams has be-
gun. There is not room for a great
amount Of guessing. Bob Fisher to
captain Harvard and Arthur Howe to
captain Yale would be a good guess.
The general impression is that Fisher
and Howe have earned the honor by
consistently good work and the evil
dencing of the desirable qualities Of
leadership.
Harvard loses this year both varsity
tackles, Captain wilmington and Nc
Kay. Their places will be hard to fill
Mckay is about the best tackle in the
east. Harvard also loses Minot left
guard; Perkins and p. Smith, the cen
tiers, and Corbet and Leslie in the back
field or the men who have played
against Yale there will still be in coll
lege FELTON, and Lewis, ends, the for
mer a good punter and the latter a
good drop kicker; L. Smith, right end !;
Fisher, right guard, and Potter, Wig
ellsworth. Campbell, Wendell, and
Morrison in the back field. The two
Frothinghams, will also be in college
next year and any number of good
men. who were either subs or regu-
lars. These, with good players from
the Freshman eleven, will give Har-
ward another strong array of material
with which to start next season.
Yale loses more men than Harvard,
but is almost sure to have better ma
terlal than this year. There is some
first. class timber on the freshman
team lost to both Harvard and Prince
ton. They generally lose to Harvard.
Yales biggest loss will be Fitzpatrick
1t will be hard to find an end of his
prowess. Brooks also Is through. For
one end Bomeisier viii be left. Only
injuries kept him from getting his
letter this season. He is big, fast and
strong and likely to make a first-class
end.

JAPANESE ADOPT
NATIONAL GAME

AS a result Of experiences in
japan OF the University of Chicago
baseball team, now playing in that
country, Ralph Cleary writes inter-
ingly to Chicago paper as follows:
Baseball is now the national sport
Of Japan. OF this there can be no
doubt. The game has taken a ire
mendous grip on the little brown
pleasure-loving Japs. The game is
played absolutely according to the
rules, the umpire being supreme, and
his decisions never are questioned.
"No matter how vital may be the
point involved in a decision of the
umpire, the little Japs never make a
complaint. The game as played in
this country is a contest between
gentlemen, and the actual victory is
not a matter OF paramount import
ance. The general close association
gained in the struggle and the actual
mental and physical employment OBJ
tanned are the results which are
sought.
The umpire of the series between
| the University of Chicago team and,
the local university teams is much
admired young nobleman, a graduate
Of the Peters school, His position
is honorary and his work has been
beyond reproach.
"A game is the signal for the
gathering of Japanese power. Men
high in diplomatic, army and business
life flock in large numbers to view
an honored contest. The United
States ambassador, Mr.. O'Brien. has
attended all of the games between the
maroons and the Japs, as has Count
Okuma, the Grand Old Man Of
Japan. After a contest a reception,
banquet or garden party often is tend
cred the players so that even closer
social relations may be possible
1.-THE japanese college men already
play just as good, if not better, base
ball than the average American uni
versity man. They also have learned
to appreciate the value of clean
craftsmanship, and their fair play is
evident in the extreme. To win a
game by unfair means is far below
their idea of honor.
THE crowds, remarkably impartial
and always willing to applaud good
execution. irrespective of the team,
are orderly and easy to handle. No
roasting or crticising takes place in
the stands
''Some of the phrases used by the
Japanese in describing plays are
unique and interesting. Instead of
say that Waseda win play Chicago
they say Waseda will attack Chicago
! When a man is caught at a base they,
say, He was lulled at base A player
in sliding for a sack is said to at
tack a sack. If he fails they say,

are similar to those used in war.

CHAMPION POLE
VAULTER in FARGO
FORMER COLLEGE ATHLETE
WHO HELD WORLDS POLE
VAULT CHAMPIONSHIP DID Ac-
Ro5ATlc ACT AT GRAND THEA.
TIRE THIS WEEK.

For the most part those who attend
ed the performance at the Grand thea
tire this week were not aware of the
fact that they were watching for
mer worlds champion scale the hor-
izontal bars in the first. act on the
bill 1t is perhaps the first visit Fargo
has had from prominent athletic star
who has held the worlds spotlight, for
sometime, and yet the ex-title holder
was so modest that. he came and all
most goes unheralded.
The clever act, with the usual
straight and comic man, but full OF
novel and amusing stunts, goes under
the billing of Cromwell & Samse.
Cromwell is the funny man, and Sam
BE is the straight, appearing in the
blue tights and makes the thrilling
leaps across the bars. Three years
ago his name was we'll known to every
college athlete in America and the
whole world, for he held the cham
pionship for pole vaulting for just
that period of time.
LIE Roy Samse was born and reared
w. Kern, Tod Sloan, Col. Ben White
head and few others of equal fame
and he early gave promise of great
athletic ability. When he entered In
diana university at Bloomington Sam
sc tried out for track work and soon
became recognized as the star man of
the institution His first leap into
national athletic prominence was when
he was awarded a medal for pole
vaulting at the Big Six track meet at
Columbus. Later he participated in
the Olympic games at st. Louis dur
ing the Louisiana Purchase EXPOSE
tion in 1904 1t was in that year he
won the worlds championship for pole
vaulting which he held for three years
when he was outdistanced in 1907.
In college he was member of local
fraternity whose intention was to pc
tition for charter from the Decks.
AT the theatre Thursday evening the
former, college athlete and champion
was recognized during his act by the
sporting editor, who though several
years younger, had one time gone to
the same school building with Samse.
After the performance the actor-ath-

said, except the weather is little
severe on an Indianian. But other
wise we have enjoyed our visit here"
do you like the stage?" he was
asked
''Oh yes" he replied enthusiastically.
'sYou see it gives me an opportunity
to continue my athletic work" The
conversation drifted to football and
Indiana's splendid team this year.
football is a game 1 always liked
to watch. but they never would let me
play" he explained.

afraid / would break an arm or leg.
and as a track man they thought too
much Of my ability in that line at
the university to allow me to take
chances on the gridiron, as much as
I should liked to have done So"

For three years / held that record, :
answered Samse simply.

Ripe Field for Boxers.

A man OF the Ryan or Kid Mccoy
stamp would have a soft thing now in
the middleweight class, as the best
that the modern middleweight bunch
seems to have In their equipment Is
their smuggling ability. With men
lighter than themselves this is a val
liable acquisition, but against another
slugger of equal hitting ability it does
not go for much. Against a skillful
boxer who can at the same time hit
hard smuggling seldom counts for any
thing. A man like Ryan, Mccoy or
Jack Dempsey would ask nothing bet
ter than to be pitted against the slug :
ger especially the fellow with the
terrible right-h hand punch. The mat
ter of few pounds did not count for
much, as their records will show. 1t
was only a matter of time till the
slugger would tire himself out, and
then the task OF cutting him to rib
bons would be an easy one. 1t would
be laughable to think wha' would be-
come of some of the lattered day mid.
dIeweights were they to go into the
ring against the sort of men whom
Dempsey and Ryan conquered.

In one six-round contest than the col
lege football player will earn in q
whole season, and the boxer can feel
In his conscience that he is on the
level and not acting the hypocrite
One rather queer thing in this con-
nection is the fact that while practic-
ally none of the professional baseball
players can be induced to go into the
ring under any consideration, they
are ready to fight with bare fists on
the slightest provocation.
Since the death Of Stanley Ketchel,
there has been considerable talk re-
garding who was to succeed him as
the itle-holder OF that class. And this
calls attention to the fact that there is
almost as great a scarcity of good
middleweights as there is of crack
heavyweight fighters Taking such
men as Billy Papke, Leo Caponi, Will
lie Lewis, Harry Lewis, Frank Mantell
and Jack Sullivan, there is not one
really good man in the lot Tommy
Ryan in his good days would have had
little difficulty IN cleaning up the
whole bunch of them, one after the
other, for, while Ryan could probably
hit harder than any of these so-called
mddleweights, he was In addition
remarkably clever boxer, and it is not
going out o. the road 10 say that none
Of the men mentioned above possess
any more knowledge Of the manly art
than the law allows. Several of these
fellows have been passing as welter-
weights, although when 1t came to a
showdown they could not scale better
than $50 pounds, ard several Of them
were even a great deal heavier thar
