Records Will Go
IN Southern Meet
Many Stars Are to Compete in the
National Events at New
Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 17-Uniess ali
signs fail the National American Athletic
union championship track and field meet
ing, to be held at New Orleans in October,
will produce some record breaking perfor-
mances. At any rate, such will be the case
If, as predicted, the leading college ath-
letes who have been running for athletic
clubs go to the New Orleans meet, and in
the same sort of condition that they pre-
pare for their college games.
Among the college men who are expected
are r. c. Craig of Michigan, who is a men,
Der OF the Chicago Athletic association; w.
c. PAUL Of Pennsylvania. now running for
the New York Athletic club; P. j. Taylor
of Cornell with the Chicago Athletic asso-
citation, and a number of the lesser lights.
In particular the dopesters are wondering
what will happen in the mile run in which
PAUL, Taylor, Sheppard, Hedlund and
Kiviat come together. II they are ali in
good condition and the track fast it may
mean the creation OF NEW world record.
The first three men named are capable OF
beating 4:20. and the other two are almost
as fast PAUL is probably the best Of the
lot for the mile. He is just now returning
to the form that made him famous a year
ago. when he did 4;17 as, the fastest mile
ever run by an American. The experts are
still arguing as to whether PAUL can beat
Sheppard at this distance. the consensus OF
opinion being that he can. AZ is true that
Sheppard beat him in June in the only race
the two have run at the mile. brA the time
was slew and merely served to emphasize
the poor condition of PAUL. Since then he
has done 4;20 and APP. and is apparently
rounding into condition for a sensational
performance.
1t is evident, too. that there will be an
unusually good field for all the other
eyents. The Amateur Athletic union au.
thorities are trying TO get out the best ath.
letic talent of the country for the meet. tn,
pick Of the clubs and colleges. Heretofor,
they have had to confine themselves largely
to the clubs. This time they are lookini
for big delegation Of coliegians, and Il
they get the men they hope for the l9i,
championship will surely be OF the record
breaking variety.

.Welterweight
Title Belongs
to Dixie Kid
Several Pugilists Claim Honor Which
Belongs to COlOred Fighter
Of Recent Note.

NEW YORK. Sept i7.-Several pugilists
are calling themselves welterweight cham
pions OF America, but there is only one
holder OF that title, the Dixie Kid, colored,
who almost knocked out Willie Lewis at
the National Sporting club OF this city re-
Gently. The Dixie Kid. whose real name is
not generally known has been fighting for
some time, though engaging In bouts with
many obscure opponents. But the records
show that on April %. 1904 he defeated
Joe Walcott fairly in n twenty-round glove
fight In San Francisco. Walcott, known as
the Giant Killer then. had suffered defeat
at the hands of several middle and heavy
weights, but the Dixie Kid was the first
welterweight TO take his measure, and he
did the trick in such manner as 10 leave
no doubt as to which was the better man.
Walcott was clearly outpointed by wide
margin and lost his title OF Swelterweight
champion on a decision.
Honey Melody afterward defeated Wal
colt and claimed the title, but his claim
was too late. Then Mike Crwin) Sullivan
beat Melody and proclaimed himself cham
pion OF that class without warrant. Jimmy
Clabby of Milwaukee outpointed the Dixie
Kid in a ten-round bout At local club
last spring, but no decision was rendered
officially, so that the negro did not lose
his title. Furthermore, the Dixie Kid met
Clabby on that occasion at ten minutes
notice after Mike (Twin) Sullivan had re-
fused to box the westerner. Clabby, how
ever, claimed the welterweight champion
ship and has sailed for Australia ready to
defend the worlds title, -
Harry Lewis and Willie Lewis have both
heralded themselves recently as weller
weight champions, but the latter has been
eliminated by his recent defeat, while the
formers poor showing with Harry Mans
field Of England a few weeks ago con-
WINGED sporting men that he had gone
back.
The Dixie Kid, however, is not regarded
as a world beaten and may be subjected to
severe test in the near future. From the
west comes one Jim Howard, tall power
fully built welterweight who has beaten all
corners and is anxious to fight for the
championship. Howard has challenged the
Dixie Kid, and If the latter will make a
match 1t is predicted that he will have the
fight of his life.
Howard is not only quick, clever boxer,
but terrific hitter with either hand, and
is highly regarded by those who have seen
him In action. Billy Roche, the California
referee, who is in the city, says Howard is
fighter on the lines of Stanley Ketchel,
and that he will soon be the recognized
welterweight champion of the world.
Howard is a knocker out" says Roche
land he can whip all these alleged welter-
weight champions with ease. If the Dixie
Kid will meet him, I'll bet that Howard
will stop in few rounds"

MADISON, Wis. Sept. lT.-(special)-
Sweeping changes In the MANAGEMENT Of
athletics will be urged by prominent mem
bers OF the student body at the University
of Wisconsin at the opening OF the coming
term.
The most important inauguration to be
attempted will be the reorganization OF an
Athletic association. which was abandoned
when the reform wave hit the university
athletic department. Should the plan meet
with the approval OF the student body.
an association patterned after that in vogue
NJ Michigan and Illinois will be formed
with the membership fee placed at 81. The
proceeds from the fund which is expected
to accrue will be given over to the promo
ton OF intercollege and interclass sports
and to the purchase OF trophies for mem

Since the adjustment of the old Athletic
association the control Of athletics or At
least what control there was delegated to
the student body, was given over TO an
athletic board. consisting OF five repre-
sentatlves form the major sports and five
representatives who were non-"w" men.
The plan worked out fairly satisfactory,
but there have always been charges OF
politics and non-competency. This spring
haowever. with the election Of an assistant
track manager, there arose a Glamour Of
protests against the action of the board
who, II was asserted, had chosen a man
who had been out to the track only few
times.

Reports from the football camps in the
state where the fall training has begun
show that the new football rules. framed to
make the game physically safer. have en-
couraged an increased number of candi-
dates to report to the coaches.
One Of the most striking developments
Is the large number of medium sized candi-
dates. The impression apparently has
gained ground among athletic undergradu-
ates that the new rules will put premium
on speed. More of the students feel that
they have a chance to make the varsity
under the revised game.
Des Moines college and the high schools
have kept the local grldirons busily en-
gagged the last week. At Drake the practice
will soon be well under way and then prep
arations for the opening games will move
forward at a rapid pace.
Coach John L. Griffith and assistant
coach Sam Hobbs of Drake, two OF the
closest students of the game in the state
have had their heads together for two
weeks considering new formations to teach
the blue and white squad. for the early
game against Illinois. This gridiron battle
will be unusually hard as the Illinois with

Onside kick to be modified or done
