MILLER HUMBLES
MICHlCAN'S PRIDE
PLAYS ON FOOTBALL TEAM
WHILE INELIGIBLE AND
CAUSES APOLOGY.
SOCCER GAME IS SCHEDULED

]. Joy Miller certainly put the Uni
versity of Michigan in an embarrass'
ing position. He played star football
and helped to win several games,
among them the Pennsylvania and
Minnesota contests, and wasn't even
4 bona fide student of the school.
Now the football management Of
Michigan has had to apologize and
say how sorry 1t is for the actions of
one of its players, who had no right
In the game under the intercollegiate
rules.
On the strength Of the good work
he had done Miller was elected cap
tain Of next years team and received
the university IN" He has been
shorn of both of these honors and a
new leader is to be chosen.
Announcement Of the action taken
against Miller was made by Prof.
George w. Patterson, chairman Of the
board Of control Of athletics.
: The question Of Miller's eligibility
flrst came under the attention Of
Dean Cooley, of the engineering de-
partment Of the university. Miller
was absent from Ann Arbor and let
ter requesting his appearance before
the board in control brought no reply.
It was given out that Miller appeared
before the eligibility committee dur
Ing the season and signed statement
that he was a bona f1de student and
eligible to play on the team.
The action against him was taken
upon the ground that while he had
registered in the engineering depart
ment he had not been enrolled In any
classes until after the close of the
football season, when he induced sew.
eral professors to accept his enroll
ment tentatively, with the understand
ing that he would make up the work
that he had missed. Miller lives in
Detroit.
The games in which he played were
those against Minnesota, Pennsylva-
mia, Notre Dame, Syracuse and Mar
quette.
Just what the ultimate outcome Of
this mess will be has not been deter
mined. Michigan won all of the games
In which Miller played except that
with Notre Dame. The teams that
lost to the Wolverines would seem to
have good grounds for protest, but the
critics agree that they cannot be
thrown out and will stand. Michigan
is in none too good standing in the
west, anyway, and Miller's conduct
certainly has not helped any.
The question of Michigan's return
to the fold Of the Western conference
was not discussed at the big Eight"
meeting in Chicago last month and
nothing was done about Minnesota
having scheduled game with the
Wolverines for next season.
One of the important things that
came out Of the meeting was the
boost given to soccer football stock,
when Director HUFF of Illinois asked
Director Stage to raise this sport to
a position of intercollegiate impor-
lance The idea so appealed to Stage
that he challenged the Illini to game
on Marshall field next fall.

collegiate clash of its kind in the

Jim Corbett says he will train JET
fries for the last 40 days before the
Johnson fight on July 4 and will not
accept a cent Of pay. Corbett declares
he does this hoping to aid In bringing:
the championship back to tho white

will be paid by Jehries and the the

BOB FlTZSlMMONS
Is DOWN AND OUT
GREATEST FIGHTER THE WORLD
EVER KNEW DEFEATED BY
THIRD RATER.
SUGGESTION FOR 4 Benefit
Ry KNOCKOUT.

BOD f1CZS1mmOQS, the greatest u8QC"
er, bar none, the world ever has
known, after go years in the ring, has
gone down to defeat before a man
who, at best, is no better than a Sec
ond rater. It's another case of the
pitcher going to the well too often,
for poor old Bob's dream of coming
back" is shattered.
Down in Australia, where he began
his career as pugilist that has been
equaled by no other fighter, Fitzsim-
mons met Bill Lang the day after
Christmas. The old fellow landed re-
peatedly in the first few rounds, but
the famous ''kick" had lost its
strength. Lang stood the blows which
IL years ago would have sent him to
dreamland and when the great battler
was tired out by his own exertions
waded in and put Fitz down for the
count in the twelfth round.
Fitzsimmons is 48 years old and
had no business In the ring. Neces-
sity drove him back to the squared
circle" The Cornishman should have
a fortune of six figures, but he hasn't.
His share Of the purse was about
$4,000. Doubtless he will have half
that amount when he comes back to
the United States. The old man isn't
a drawing card on the stage any more,
because the tickle public cares little
for has been" So what is to be-
come of the once mighty fighter. who
always, after he came to this coun.
try, could be depended upon to put
up the best fight that was in him?
Several years ago a famous sport
ing writer In Cincinnati fell i'll. He
had been a good fellow like Bob Fitz.
simmons. "Friends" had borrowed
from him and he had spent his money
ON the boys. When illness came he
found he had an empty purse. So
some Of his real friends made up a
purse for him. Collections of from Is
cents to as much AZ a man wanted to
give were taken. Several weeks be-
fore he died the sporting writer re-
ceived draft for $4,000. II the sport
ing writer received $4,000, think Of
what such collection would mean to
'Lanky Bob" whose name Is known
the world over. 1t would give F1tz.
simmons and his family sufficient on
which to live comfortably for the re-
mainder Of his days. However, the
money should not be given to Bob, for
ha, knows not the value Of dollar.
Raise the fund and invest it for him.
It is safe. to say $4,000 could be
raised II one of the papers In, each Of
the large cities would push the scheme
along. This could be invested at six
per cent. and the one time mighty
kladiator would have $1,000 a year.
Who'll start It?
