RAH-RAHS TO DISCUSS
ATHLETIC PROBLEMS

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-New football,
summer baseball for collegians and
the advisability of forming athletic
leagues among the colleges and unlVer-
stiles in certain sections of the country
are among the important subjects
which will come up for discussion at
the fifth annual conVeion of the Inter
collegiate Atheletic association, to be
held in this city beginning Dec. %.
A proposition to change the name OF
the body to the National Collegiate
Athletic association, also will be con-
sidered.
Seventy-one universities and colleg-
eS, representing over 100000 students,
are now members of the association. II
is expected this number Will be greatly
increased at the December convention.
Captain Palmer E. Pierce, president
of the association, in his call for the
meeting, speaks of the new football
rules thus:
THE new rules are undergoing cru
cial test on the gridirons of our col
lege Fairgrounds. 1t is too early to
say, perhaps, whether or not they have
succeeded. 1t is urged upon all that
the rules be given fair trial. Thls
can only be secured by the students
being required to play under them
strictly and the officials to enforce
them impartially in contests. The gov
erning bodies of academic institutions
should prevent any evasions.'
Other subjects mentioned in the cir
cular include these:
THE summer baseball question IS
still with us. Is any practical prog
ress towards the proper solution of
this problem being made?
1.-The subject of the amateur law
is now investigated in conjunction with
the amateur athletic research societies
From this study may result practical
suggestions in the treatment of this
VeXed question. This may finally re-
suit in a betterment of the deplorable
conditions now existing. 1t is hoped
that some distinct steps forward may
be taken at the meeting.
"The subject of track athletics, their
proper control, uniform rules for par
ticipants and methods of preserving
records made, is being considered by
a committee of which Professor Stagg
is chairman.
at is proposed to change the consti-
tuition 50 as to give representation on
the executive committee to local
leagues, such as that of the New Eng
land states, the Western Pennsylvania,
West Virginia league, the Ohio Valley,
the Southern Intercollegiate and the
Missouri Valley conference, and the
Chicago association. 1t is thought
greater working interest In the aIIalts
of the national organization would
thus be fostered. In this connection
the necessity for local leagues is
urged.
Notre Dame may prove to have tied
Stanford. Illinois, which gains two
points by the decisions of today, and
Chicago both are thought to have a
chance to tie.
BY today's decision Illinois, Mime
sofa, Iowa, Western Reserve and South
Dakota gain two points each.
The protest was filed by the Univer-
sity of California the day of the meet.
The action against Philbrook and Dim
mick was taken because they had COM
pleted the three years allowed them
under the conference ruling prior to
the Urbana meet.

OXY AND j. s. c. AGOG
OVER WINNING CAME
Most important Game of Football
Season Scheduled for 3D.
ward Field Tomorrow

With the big game only one day
away, both Occidental and u. S. c.
are agog with excitement over the
probable outcome of the gridiron
struggle which will take place between
the elevens of the two institutions on
Bovard field tomorrow afternoon. The
Methodists, who figured as faVorites
in the early choosing, are no better
than an even money proposition now,
on account of the barring of Bill
Hatch, the big tackle. To replace
Hatch Cromwell has no one in view
as yet and may be obliged to practi-
cally reorganize his team before a
suitable man is found.
This would mean a big handicap to
the Methodsts, who were just getting
their formations protected. The loss
of Hatch has proved more serious than
either Coach Cromwell or the u. S. c.
supporters like to admit, and may
prove Just serious enough to defeat
the Methodists.
However the Reorganization of the
U. S. c. eleven may make the battle
an even proposition, Is the hard luck
which has been bounding the OXy
Tigers all season is still on the job.
Bill Smart. who has been doing the
fullback plunging in place of Drury
Wieman. incapacitated for backfield
service
earlier in the season, wrenched his
ankle in a scrimmage last night and
may not be able to appear against the
Wesleyans. Drury Wieman, who has
replaced Smart at guard, is slow from
his injured leg, but will be obliged to
start in the game, as Coach Wieman
has no one else capable of filling the
guard position.
Hopkins, Osborne and Jim Smart
are all in poor shape and would be
more at home in a hospital Just at
present than 6n the football field. The
rest of the team is working out in
good STYLE and the Presbyterians have
a better show of winning than week
ago. Coach Wieman has announced
the following lineup for the start:
Patterson, center; Jones, Fietield and
Wieman, guards; Landreth and j.
Smart tackles; Dill and Hopkins,
ends Stolz, quarter; Smart, fullback;
Bradbeer and Culp, halfbacks.
Both elevens did their last hard work
Yesterday afternoon, and the coaches
will content themselves with black
board instructions from now until the
whistle blows tomorrow afternoon.
The handicapping of U. S. C. by the
loss of Hatch has aroused more in
terest in the outcome of the game than
was in evidence previously, as the
MetnOQlSIS were picked as ldNoi iICS ~
unanimously that the Tigers We're
given no chance at all. With the
Change of odds Oxy is thought to have
al least an even chance. and the game
may prove a big surprise to those who
have been touting CromwelPs men as
sure winners.
The largest crowd of the local grid
iron season and most probably one or
the largest ever seen at a football
came in this city is expected to be on
hand, as the advance demand for seats
has been unprecedented in the history
of the college sport in this city. The
team that wins tomorrow's game will
be conceded the Southern, California
championship beyond DOUBT, ana
will have a clear title to the premier
honors OF the season, barring possible
upheavals that may be caused by the
Ciaremonters, who are as yet an un-
known quantity.

OCCIDENTAL BALL TEAM
HAS UNIQUE RECORD

The Occidental colored team, which
meets McCormicks All-Stars in a re-
turn game at Vernon Sunday after
noon, bears the unique distinction of
being the only colored team in the
country that has ever won an undis-
puted championship of a state. This
feat was accomplished by the OXys
during the past summer, when they de-
feated every team of prominence in
Utah. Their title is not self-inficted,
either, for press and public of the Nor
mon state universally accorded them
the honor of being state champions.
Manager Black of the OXyS is some
what disturbed over the probability of
not being given a berth in the winter
league, after having been virtually
promised, according to his story, a
franchise in the organization. The
plan was to have the best men of
Blacks team and the Leland Giants
of Chicago, who are coming out here
in a body, although unaccompanied by
Frank Leland, combine in the forma-
ton of a ffrst-class colored aggrega-
tion. Now, according to Black S
claims, the magnates plan to use only
the Giant players and leave himself
and his men out in the cold.

JACK JOHNSON INJURED
IN MIXUP WITH STRIKERS

CHICAGO, Nov. Sin riding to a
depot yesterday in a non-union taxi
cab Jack Johnson, heavyweight pugi-
list, was struck by a thrown brick and
a large cash was cut in his forehead.
The champion, who received a mes
sage from his attorney in New York
urging him to hurry east, summoned
the first cab he could secure and
started for the station.
As the cab turned into Van Buren
street from Clark, where a crowd of
union drivers had congregated, some
one threw a brick through the window,
which struck Johnson and stunned
him for few minutes.
The driver of the cab fastened to
the depot under police protection and
the pugilist had his wound dressed in
a nearby drug store.
johnson was called to New York
to appear in court tomorrow as de-
fendant in a suit which a theatrical
concern has begun against him for
alleged breach of contract.

NOTES OF THE GAME

Hasty pulled off something on Ort

George had reached third on Rapps'
infield single Bill started to steal
second, and Hasty, after making a
bluff to throw to second, buzzed the
ball to Burrell, catching Ort fiat

He was easily run down. This was
only one instance of his fooling the

time he starts.

We hate to spring this one. be-
cause we like Hap, but listen close:
It looks as though Hogan is the
Tigers lynx. Remember that last
Angel series when Hap went away?
The Tigers won every game And
now that he has again departed
they have commenced winning.
Row Brashear had a hard time
with Casey's grounded i'm the sew
enth. The ball bounded false,
struck him in the chest and shot
I'D under his eye. The grounds in
their present condition are certain
ly dangerous for a. ball player who
expects to live beyond the present
season.
Eddie NIensor at last managed to
change his luck. Batting for
Fisher in the ninth, he drove to
center for one base. Roy Brashear
almost got his ands on the ball at
that. The next play ended the
game, however, as Sheehan bounded
to Lindsay, who threw to +. Bra
shear, forcing NTensor, and quick
snap to first caught Sheehan.
It looked like curtains for Knapp
in the first, and McCredie ordered
Garrett to warm up, but little
Gene weathered the storm and fin
ished strong, although one length
in the rear. With one run In and
two down, Knapp walked r. Bra
shear, who promptly stole second.
Coy also drew transportation and
Kittie drove a nice one to center,
but Ryan was among those present
and shared the ball before it
touched the ground.
The Tigers claim that their beat
ing Knapp was mistake They
were waiting for Gregg's second
appearance and primed themselves
for him. McCredie tried to cross
them and substituted Knapp but
the Villagers did not discover the
switch until after that winning
run had been put over.
Portland would have had the
aennant cinched had Yesterdays

itation is reported to be Of a deep

LOOKS BAD FOR
BASE BALL HERE

That much heralded and much
talked of baseball meeting, advertised
to take place at the Chamber of Com
merce last night, turned out to be
one grand fizzle.
Ii has been more than a month
since the two daily papers of this
city took up the baseball proposition
for the coming season. and both had
begun to flatter themselves that they
had been fairly successful in stirring
up an interest among the last years
fans; however. 1t was very clearly
demonstrated to the handful of fans
present last night that the general
public in Grand Junction is not con-
cerned about baseball this year; and
therefore. ii was decided to drop the
matter entirely. which means. of
course. that we are to go through the
coming season without baseball. The
fans who haye for the past two or
three seasons dangled their legs from
the bleachers or thrown pop bottles
at the jumps from their favorite po-
sition in the grandstand will have to
find some other form of amusement
for the long summer afternoons.
The last years players. who had
written for places on the team this
year, were notified today that there
would be nothing stirring In their
line this season. Former Manager
Rothgeb of the Fort Collins team,
who was desirous of handling the To-
cal team. was also notified of the re-
suits OF the meeting. This was done
in order that these men might lose
no more time in looking for berths
elsewhere.
B. w. Robbins, local general agent
of the Denver & Rio Grande, was at
the meeting for the purpose of pre-
senting the proposition of having the
Chicago White Sox stop here again
in April: but this matter also had
to be passed up.

EARLY HEARING !
OF THIS CASE

The case of the county against the
Grand Junction Printing company
and the editor of the morning sheet,
placed in the hands of Attorney F. B.
Welsh. as special officer appointed
by Judge Sullivan to present the
matter in a formal way 10 the court.
will be given an early hearing. 1t is
stated today that Mr.. Welsh will file
the formal charge against the morn
ing sheet not later than noon tomor-
row. Contempt of court is the charge
against the paper. 1t is reported
that Attorney Welsh will recommend
that jail sentence be imposed.
The case comes under the jurisdic-
ton of the common law and the sem
tence to which the defendants are
subject. If held TO be guilty as charg-
ed, rests entirely with the court.
The case has grown out of the
fragrant attempt of the morning pa
per and its editor to influence he
jury in the Gallagher case while the
case was on trial by the publication
of cartoon, and out of previous Of
fenses of this nature of which the
morning paper has been guilty. 1t is
said that a state statute makes
maximum fine of $500 in such con-
tempt cases but 1t is reported that
the case will be tried as a common
law case. the supreme court having
held that the Legislature has no pow
er to define or limit the action OF a
court as the judicial branch of the
government is distinct and separate
branch and equal in authority to the
legislative branch.
1t is charged that the morning pa
per has endeavored to influence the
verdict of the juries in certain cases,
cases of the following numbers being
cited: 2094, 2144, 2170. 21S0, 21s1,
all of which were tried in the county
court since June l, 1909.
The affidavit to be filed is SUBJ
scribed to by Attorney Samuel N.
Wheeler and ]. w. Rozzelle, and the
special officer of the court. F. B.
Welsh.
