FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
FOR DENVER ELEVEN

Denver. April 1.-Two dates on the
football schedule for Denver unlVer-
sitv are not yet certainly assigned
These are those awarded to the Uni
versity of Nebraska, and October 20,
which has not yet been given TO any
college. For the latter the authOrl-
ties are considering the Aggies, South
Dakota and the Haskell Indians. Some
sort of a disagreement with the Aggie
management may prevent the game
with that eleven being played at all.
And the authorities at the latter assert
that D. L. cannot well claim state
championship unless the eleven does
meet and defeat that belonging to the
Fort Collins institution. This is
reverberatiOn or echo from previous
troubles between the schools, and may
not be serious anyway Between the
other choices for October % there
hinges the question of college game
and finance. Those sticking out for
the best paying team profess to be
leve that the Haskell Indians will
draw better than South Dakota, and
those holding for stricter college eth
les declare that the university should
always choose a university team rather
than one from 81 school not bound by
the stFicter rules of university foot
ball. And then, South Dakota has put
out some pretty good teams. too If it
does not have the prestige of a better
fame like that Of Haskell.
Tentatively the schedule. putting in
the game with Nebraska. which is be-
Iieved pretty sure, follows.
Oct. 1-Some Denver high school
Oct. S-WyOming in Denver.
Oct. 15-Marquette in Denver.
oct. 22-Nebraska at Lincoln.
Nov. 6-Mines.
Nov. 13-Utah at Salt Lake City.

COAST PROMOTERS IN JAM
OVER MIDDL EvgEIGHT CARDS

Ketch in a long battle VIII drop him as
sure as another sun shall rise and set.
Now the question IS, whom are they going
to steer Ketchel against for this one last
gTandstand play? They say it's Lang
ford, but everybody doubts it,
Klaus a Card.
If ketChel and LangfO-d ever do agree
on terms. the promoter who handles the
match will have quite a job on his hands
convincing the sporting public that it is
on the level 1t is only a few months ago
that Ketchel and LangfOrd were primed
and ready for a 10-TOund meeting in New
York. At the eleventh hour came the
startling information that District At
torney Jerome refused to allow the fight,
and it is an open secret that pressure was
brought TO bear upon the New York Of
ficial TO interfere because LangfOrd would
not post forfeit of 5000 to box a draw.
Ketchel and Papke over again would
furnish lot of action for the local fans.
They have already clashed four times,
two Of their fights taking place at Jim
CoffrOth's Mission street arena, but still
there is a doubt in most everybOdy'S
mind as to which is the better man.
Papke had a grand chance to become the
middleWeight champion. But the one big
event viii be a Ketchel-LangfOrd go, and
the fans will turn out TO see it,

san Francisco, April LIN an at
tempt to cover the los miles between
Buriingame, a san Francisco suburb,
and Del Monte, in 90 hours, Miss Flea
nor Sears of Boston, who began the
journey yesterday morning at Q o'clock,
reached Morgan Hill at 1855 last night
after a trudge OF Sc miles. Though
footsOre and weary Miss Mears refused
to give up her Jaunt, and after partak-
ing OF light refreshments resumed the
road.
This Marathon endeavor had its in
SpiIatiOn in a recent contest between
two WenknOWn San Francisco men
over the same route. Miss Sears con-
tends that women can be efficient in
athletics as men, and in various sports
here and in the east has made heroic
efforts to prove her theory.
Fashionable Burlingame sacrificed
its beauty sleep yesterday to speed
Miss Sears parting, and a retinue of
pacemakerS and friends started with
her. Miss Jennie Croker, who is said
to have a wager with the dauntless
pedestrian on the outcome followed
on a bicycle.
Holding steadily to a good pace
Miss Sears reached San Jose, 62 miles
distant at 2:45 p. m, and there lunched
and rested for two and a half hours.
Continuing, she tramped throughout
the afternoon and straight into the
night. When Morgan Hill was reached
her friends, alarmed at manifest evil
denCe of her fatigue, begged her to
give up the trial, but Miss Sears turned
a deaf ear to all entreaties and pushed
on.

San Francisco, April There is so
much talk ana idle gossip here about
matches between Ketchel and Langford,
Papke and Ketchel, Klaus and Ketchel,
Papke and KLAUS, that the brains of the
fans are becoming bewildered. Every
promoter who has the least claim to
fame is ether making one of these
matches, thE ling seriously about 1t or
has already Minded it, according 10 him
self or his press agent. This is the way
things are going along now, but nobody
knows what the outcome viii be. Per-
haps there will De no fight at all.
Those ugly rUmOrs that were spread
after the recent meeting between ketchel
and Klaus in Philadelphia have not done
much to help the Michigan Lion along.
Coming as they do practically right on
top of that affair with Johnson here last
October brings them TO bear with much
more force upon the minds of the follow
ers of the game all over the country.
The way in which Ketchel sought cover.
Immediately after the scandal started
leads many to believe that these rumors
are very well founded.
Still. il must be admitted that hetchel
is a card. He has about one more good
fight in him. and that will let him out. II
is generally conceded that the flTst

by two temporary wire fences, which will

Ihls viii be to prevent patrons from en-
tering any other section but the one where
they belong. These wire fences will be
moved shortly before the fight though
they would not seriously mar the view
OF the spectators if they remained.
There are to be 1852 press seats near the
ring and the seats which run back from
the arena to the first dark line as indi-
Gated in the drawing will range from $50

second black line range from $40 to S25.

million feet of lumber will be used ttSNuild

necessity of an additional fence The race
track fence proper, it is believed, will give
all the protection necessary, along with
a big patrol of PinkertOn men.
