st. Paul. Nov. 2S.-After a weeks
fitful fever over the prospective status
of athletic relations at the University
of Minnesota. the students and alumni
are finally beginning to organize their
sentiment n formulate their request
which will soon be submitted to the
university council for action.
This action will probably take the
form of an adopted policy to he fol-
lowed by tho representative OF the uni
versity at h meeting of the CONFER
ence colleges to be held at Chicago
December .. Just what definite in
structtons or suggestions will be given
the Gopher delegate to the conference
meeting Is not known, but it is he
lieved to be an established fact on the
campus that Il game with Michigan
and the modification or abolition OF
the summer baseball rule for football
players will be demanded by the Min
nesota representative. From present
indications appearing on the campus
there Is not q great deal OF hope that
these requests will be granted. for the
delegate will likely not be supplied
with the means of enforcing his de-
mands. the power to withdraw Minne-
sofa from the conferences.
Board POstpOncs Meeting.
The mass meeting held by the stu
dents last Wednesday and addressed
by DIR. Williams and members of the

extent that they are submitting signed
resolutions from many departments
urging their opinions on the faculty.

NOTHING no TT.

The report that Packey Mcfarland
had received an offer to visit Aus
tralia and box under the new Sports
club there, an organization backed by
the government. Is without foundation.
Writing from Sydney, Hugh D. McIn-
tosh says that the report is simply
ridiculous. for the reason that the gov-
eminent has nothing to do with box
ing events of any kind. and that the
club which proposed to start is of the
ordinary boxing club found in all
cities. Then, again. Mcfarland could
not box for any other organization
there. for the simple reason that he is
under contract to Mr.. Mcintosh in
Australia, having signed e contract q
year ago last August. Mcintosh also
says hat the interest in boxing over
there is greater than ever. and that
at the McVey-Lester contest there
were just as many people attended,

THURSDAY NIGHT
Gotch Show in Minneapolis
-Ordemann Will Meet
Mahmout

Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 2S--When
Frank Gotch wrestles Carl Hammer
schmidt, the German Oak. at the au-
ditorium on Thursday night. it will
probably be the champions last I'M
portant match in America until 1913.
Gotch leaves the United States on jan
uary 10 for an extensive tour which
will keep him on foreign soil for Il
year or more The itinerary of the
IOwan's trip will take him to France.
England, Germany, Africa, India. New
Zealand and Honolulu. where principal
cities will be visited and it is not
likely that he will return to this coun-
try until 1913.
Gotch Is touring America at present.
lilo has been wrestling three or four
times q; week for the past month and
ner which spells trouble for every n
who meets him on the mat. His man.
ager. Emil Klank. said in Minneapolis
a few days ago that the champion is
in fine physical shape.
Many predict Hamnlcrschmidt will
give otch Il stiff tusslc in their match
as the German Is Il big, muscular fell
low and experienced at the catch-as-
catch-can game. The foreigner has
beer in numerous matches in Chicago
inc his arrival i'll this country n
has led the windy city wrestling en-
thusiasts to believe he Is of champion
ship caliber. He will remain in Chi
cage until Il few days before the Min
neapolis match when he will come to
this city to wind up his training.
The program for Thursday night will
undoubtedly be interesting as the To-
cal wrestling enthusiasts will see many
prominent mat artists in action. Tho
first bout will be between Carl Matt
son of Minneapolis and Jim Asbell of
Chicago, heavyweights. The semi
windup will be a handicap match be-
tween Yussif Mahmout. the Turk. The
Turk has contracted to throw Orde-
mann In fifteen minutes. He has met
the Minneapolis man in a finish match
and Ordemann's hackers are confident
he cannot toss the Morse in n stipu-
lated fifteen minutes.
Mahmout is a member of Gotch's
American touring party. He has i'm
proved wonderfully in the American
style of wrestling and expects to make
a. big splurge in wrestling circles this
winter. Gotch is grooming the for
eigner and has taught him a great
deal.
