Battling Nelson failed to get away
with Antoine LaGrave of this city
in Is rounds last night. Nelson
seems to have lost his old-time
force. LaGrave was nervous for
several rounds but when he found
he was not being knocked out he
got courage and in the last round
he stood up and fought Nelson on
even terms and was as good as
the old champion when the bell
rang. The referee called it a
draw.
The Examiner says: "Nelson

be unfolded until Michigan and
Minnesota play.
Yost's forward pass from fake
kick formation is illustrated here.
With the men lined up for kick,
the ball is passed directly to the
halfback, who in the above illus
tration is standing near the coach,
five yards back of the line. The
halfback passes the ball, as upper
dotted line shows, across the line
of scrimmage. The quarterback
starts when the ball is snapped,
and, with the end interfering
takes the course shown by second
row of dotted lines, receiving the
ball 25 yards down the field.
The play is simple enough and
its effectiveness is due chiefly to
the speed and smoothness shown
by the men in executing it.

RAMON CORRAL MAY NOT

San Antonio, Texas, July 12.-News
has just reached this city that Ramon
Corral, vice president of Mexico, may
not have been reelected during the
recent election, and that Governor
Theodore Dehesa of Vera Cruz may
take his place when the election re-
turns are canvassed by the Mexican
congress next September. 1t is also
expected that General Felix Diaz, a
son of President Diaz, will get a good
many votes for the vice presidency.
1t is not thought, however, that action
of the electoral college will affect the
status of the president. The Mexi-
can election system differs consider
ably from that in force in this country.
Instead of only a few electors being
chosen, the Mexican people vote for
no less than $4,000 and another regu-
lar election is necessary to get the
final result.
