Jack Johnson is not greatly excited

WABASH PLANS
FOOTBALL GAMES

Charlottesville, Ind, Dec 24.-Trus-'
tees of Wabash college, in their an
nual meeting here this week, took no
action regarding the future of football.
Many expected that the trustees would
take action toward abolishing the game
because of the death of Ralp II. VIII
son. half back, who was killed in the
game against St Louis university, play
ed in the Mound City Oct. %. 1t was
the belief that the game would be aban-
doned because there was a strong feel
ing against it before Wilson's death.
Preparations are already being made
for next years campaign. NJ. F. Elliott
of Sheridan. Ind. was elected captain
at a meeting of the wv" men. He has
been member of the team for thel asst
two seasons, playing at guard last year
and at end during his freshman year.

SPORT
WAFER POLO LEAGUE WANTED

The regatta which was held last
Saturday and the consequent discus
sons which have since ragged with
regard to the victories Of the Myr-
ties and the defeats of the Healanis
seem to have directed the attention
of sports generally to the necessity
of waking up and organizing further
aquatic events.
why said a well-known official
of one of the Clubs yesterday, there
was not even a swimming race on
Saturday" OF course. one does not
usually look for swimming races at
rowing regatta, though an event or
two of that character might easily
have been sandwiched i'm between
the rowing races. The decision Of
the Healani Club to hold a swimming
carnival as soon as the details can
be arranged and the men given suf-
iicient time to train, has set swim
mers generally talking about this
branch of aquatics, from which 70
water polo is an imperceptible dis
lance.
With two strong clubs such as the
Myrtles and Healanis, most of whose
members are swimmers, and with
the hundreds of good swimmers in the
islands outside of these two organi-
cations, it seems incredible that wat
er polo has been allowed to almost
die out An occasional game is play
ed but is very occasional indeed;
so seldom that comparatively few
of the swimmers know the rules Of
the game. OF course many are
posted as to the general regulations,
but if asked to decide a knotty point
or to act as referee for a match,
their knowledge would fail them.
All this is to be changed, however,
if the secretary of the Healanis is
able to bring the committee of his
own and other clubs to his way of
thinking. Yesterday afternoon, j. B.
Lightfoot waxed enthusiastic in dis
cussing this matter with the writer

THE KAUFMAN
LANG FIGHT

According to a Philadelphia report
Of the boxing match between AL
Kaufman, Of America, and Sill Lang,
of Australia, which took place on the
9Th inst. there was general disap
pointment over the showing Of both
contestants. Kaufman had the hon
ors of the first round, landing left
and right to the face twice, stagger-
ing the Australian, who only sue
ceeded in planting two lefts to Kauf-
mans chin. Both men mixed mat
ters in the second Lang forcing
Kaufman to the ropes and battering
him wildly. Kaufman clinched to
avoid punishment. Again Lang
scored in the third round, forcing
kaufman to his own corner, but
thence to the end Kaufman had all
the better of matters In the fourth
Kaufman hit Lang almost where he
liked, but the Australian took his
gruelling well and repeatedly came
back for more. Three stiff rights
from Kaufman almost finished Lang
in the fifth and in the sixth a hard
right to the jaw had Lang rocking
However Kaufman lacked the abil-
ity to win on a knock out and at the
conclusion of the sixth round he
won on points. About the only ia
vorable feature of the contest was
the capacity Lang showed for taking
punishment. He fought Kaufman
at his own game and though Lang
had the worst of the deal, Kaufman's
reputation was not improved by the
encounter. Neither man has any
hopes Of meeting Johnson.

CHINA NOW IMPORTING
LESS FROM occIDENT

WASHINGTON, September IL
The growing commercial independ-
ence of Oriental countries, as against
their former dependence on the Oc-
cident, is shown by the Department
of Commerce and Labor. In most
cases China's imports from Occiden-
tial countries indicated a decline.
The largest actual gains in imports
were in merchandise coming from
India, Japan, Russia, French Indo-
China and Singapore. The figures
show a larger decrease in imports
from the United States than from
any other of important countries OF
the world.

the High School With fourteen

each team to play each of the 9TH
ers, would mean ninety-one mattel.
es; playing seven matches a week
would ensure that the competition
would last for three months and in
terest should be sustained right to
the end, If the cup-tie or knockout
system were adopted there would be
thirteen games and two byes, and
the competition could be finished in
side of three weeks. Each game
takes about thirty minutes to play
on an average, though there is only
fourteen minutes actual play but
time taken off for breaches Of the
rules, etc, usually brings the time
of the game to half an hour.
The provision of boundary lines
for the field Of play should be a very
easy matter. and if necessary two
games could be played at the same
time, one at the Myrtle Club and the
other at the Healani Club. These
matters and the provision of prizes
for the winners, would not cause the
promoters any difficulty, if the co.
operation of the three clubs and the
college and high school is obtained.
It is probable that the matter will
be further discussed within the next
week or so, though it may be some
time yet before the league is for
mally started. It is better for those
favoring the movement to proceed
carefully from the start, rather than
to rush into the project without con-
sideration. However, the very fact
that the subject has been raised in
dicates that it is the turn of aquat-
les to loom largely on the public no q.
