warning
ON KIDNEY PUNCH
BOXING ENTHUSIAST IN BRIT
IsH ISLES SEEK TO ABOLISH
BLOW EMPLOYED BY
WELSH.

New York, Jan. 19.-The crusade
against the kidney blow, which started
i'm England directly after the Welsh
Driscoll battle. has reached such a
stage that it is highly probable Eng
fish referees in the future will be in
structed to disqualify pugilists who
use this alleged unfair blow.
There is much opposition to the kid
ney blow in this country, too, although
fight promoters have not yet taken up
the matter.
The Queensberry rules calls for a
fair stand-up boxing match. which
would seem to indicate when the code
was drawn up the kidney punch had
not come into use. In England il is
argued that this blow is contrary "a
the letter and spirit of the rules and
therefore, a clear foul. 1t is contended
that when boxers get into half clinch
and one of them, with the free hand
pounds his opponents i'm the small OF
the back, the milling manifestly is
unfair and does not produce a fair test
of boxing ability.
Kidney punches have been preva-
lent in many Championship battles in
this country. though il may be sand the
little fellows employ such tactics more
than the big men. This method of as
sault has been pronounced injurious
by many physicians, and also has beer
denounced by ring followers who pre-
fer cleancut work. 1t is said the kid
ney punches Battling Nelson received
from the late Joe Cans at Goldfeld af.
fected him internally and so weakened
him that he developed nervous all
ment which had much to do with hii
defeat at TIE hands of Wolgast yea'
ago.

INSURGENTS ARE
| CONFERENCE MEN
FAVOR RETURN OF MICHIGAN
TO WESTERN CONFERENCE
WOULD ELECT ATHLETIC
BOARD.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Jan. 1s.-The men
who are the prime movers i'm the at
tempt TO readjust methods Of election
of student members 10 the board in
control OF athletics are staunch con-
ferencd advocates, and it is occas-
ioning considerable discussion on the
campus.
These men do not admit that the
motive for their action is in any way
related to their stand on the confer
ence question, further than saying
that, should the sentiment of the stu
dent body favor a return while the di-
rector of athletics wanted TO remain
free. he would have no opportunity
to railroad men whom he favored into
the body which dictates Michigan's
athletic policy.
To this, those who oppose the change
in the method of election argue that in
popular election today a conferenc,
supporter might be elected in spite
of the sentiment that exists among the
undergraduates. If three conferences
men should be selected to represent
the student body the board would ther
be strong conference organization
and it would be an easy matter tc
send the Wolverines back into the Bis
Eight.
| However, IL seems certain that
should student sentiment ever favor a
return to the western combine no mar
in the office of athletic director would
have the brass to fight against the
wishes of the students, nor would any
small body of men, such as is tn,
board of control.
The time is not far off-a couple o.
years or sO-when this conference,
question may come down to a real is
sue; when the answer must be yes
or mo-" with no palvering about il
Then the student body will want rep
resentatives who truly represent n,
matter how they may be selected. 1t il
to this end that the "insurgent" factor
Is evidently looking, but whether thei
plan is better is a big open question
Much is to be said on both sides.

HALLY Is Still
BOWLING CHAMP

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 19.-Some of the
most wonderful bowling exhibitions
ever given i'm Detroit were done by Tom
Haley, national individual and total pin
champion bowler. Bowling with Kill
patrick of the Borroughs against Cap
pc and Phister at the Cadillac the 9TH
er night, Haley made a perfect score
i'm his sixth game and followed that
with a mark OF 256. Continuing the
twelve strikes that Haley made in the
perfect score game and eight more i'm
the 256 game. the champion made a
straight string for twenty perfect
strikes.
For the seven games Haley totaled
1870 which gave him an average of
234 81, a figure many bowlers strive
to secure in a single game. Only once
in the seven attempts did Haley fail to
hit better than 200. He scored 100 i'm
the second game. then followed with
POI, PSI. 2O7, 800 and 256. The first
brought him 235.

$1,000 BALANCE
FOR WOLVERINES

Ann Arbor. Jan. l9.-Although Mich
igan's athletic sports resulted I'm a net
gain of s7,3O4.55 during the year just
closed, football was the only sport
which showed as good as an even
break on the season. Baseball and
track both were financial losers, track
i'm particular showing a big balance
on the wrong side of the ledger.
The financial report OF the Athlet-
lie association, which was presented 10
the membership of the association at
Saturdays meeting and accepted
shows that football Melted the associa-
ton gain OF slightly less than S14.-
600. while baseball came within $500
of paying for itself The expenditures
for cinder path athletics, which include
the disbursements for tennis cross
country and the interscholastic meet
as well as the legitimate track work ex-
ceeded the receipts for the same
branches of sport by more than $4,000
The report, which was accepted un-
animously by the association, shows
Michgan's athletics to be I'm better
condition financially than at any time
since the damage suits arising from
the fall of the bleachers at the Michi-
gan Wisconsin game in 1906 began tC
drain the treasury.

MAY REORCAN|zE
JUSTICE SYSTEM
suI TO BE INTRODUCED IN LEG
STATURE TO ABOLISH Of
elcE OF JUSTICE OF THE
PEACE.

Considerable local interest has been
aroused in plans for the reorganization
If the judiciary system of this state
which probably will be introduced in
the state legislature in a short time.
II is proposed TO abolish the office of
,ustice of the peace entirely. and TO
substitute a system of county judges,
who shall be on a salary and who
shall cover the entire county. also the
reorganization of the judicial circuits
and the establishment OF n system for
the rotation of circuit judges.
Senator Charles White, chairman of
the judiciary committee, Senator
frank Scott and Senator Guy A. Mil
Ter. both members of the judiciary COM
mittee. are the leaders i'm the plan,
and judging by the way it's being lined
ND in the senate, there Is no question
hut IL is a piece of legislation which
will have great deal of attention.
The men in the house who are i'm on
the proposition are Representatives
Warner. Flowers and Verdier. The
former is especially interested i'm the
abolition of the justice courts.
II is sure to be bitterly opposed both
By the circuit judges and by the JUS
tees of the peace throughout the state.
as well as other fee officers who see
that it is only a question of time when
the fee system will be done away with
entirely But the men back of il are
some fighters and will go the limit on
the measure.
The idea of rotating judges Is that
in some cases the judges do not have
enough to do, while on other circuits
the judges are overworked. Under the
plan proposed where a judge has fin
ished court in his circuit, he must
move over to where another judge is
too busy.
The greatest fight will come over the
abolition of the justice court system
and the local justices are deeply in
tcrested i'm the outcome. While the
system has worked satisfactorily in
Calumet and the copper country al
large. the same cannot be said Of other
parts of the state. 1t is said that the
colonization of tramps in Jail so that
the sheriffs and justices might pull
down the fees is common practice in
some of the counties in the state.
Several counties have already sub
stituted the county judge system, the
Importance of the court being raised
by giving it jurisdiction i'm the civil
cases up to $500, and the same juris-
diction i'm the criminal cases as the
justice courts now have, but to put II
entirely on a salary basis, with al
fees to be turned into the county.

way down the aisle. taking the only
vacant seat, the other half of which

hat with an unusually wide brim.
Every time the car lurched the wom-
ans head "bobbed" and the sharp rim
of the hat raked her fellow passenger
across the cheek. Several times his
hand sought his face In protection, but
finally, becoming nettled, he pushed
off the hat rim with considerable
vigor.
"Sir!" exclaimed the indignant wom-
an.
Madam" retorted he, with porten-
tious anger, what you need is a whole
section, and not half seat in street
car"
The passengers Uttered and the
woman subsis ed. and after that kept
her hat out of range.
