JACK ROWETT Is
STILL CHAMPION

Jack Rowett of Bessemer, who the
first of the year became sheriff of Co
gebic county, is still the holder of the
worlds championship at Cornish
wrestling, although, like Gotch, he an
nounces that he is now through with
the game. Rowett started his wrest-
ling career i'm the east, where he was
reared. His father Was a wrestler be-
fore him. but was opposed to the idea
of Jack taking up the sport. In spite
of the many paternal protests the am
bilious youth, at the age of Is years,
was matched with a man who was
classed as one of the best in his inn
secret from the father. the contest
took place in the woods, and before be-
ing finished, occupied three nights. The
first night Jack threw his adversary,
on the second he was thrown twice
and gained one fan, and on the third,
after two or three hours of strenuous
work. the youngster gained the decid
ing down. After that his reputation
spread and at the age of 16 he had ac-
quired the lightweight championship
of the United States. Since that time
he has wrestled catch as catch can
and Cornish as well as devoting some
time 10 boxing.
However, it was as Cornish wrestler
that he has starred. He won the
worlds championship from Jack King
in 1896 and since then has successfully
defended the title against all contend
ers. He has thrown every man with
whom he has competed, with the ex-
ception of Jack Carkeek. The match
with this famous wrestler resulted in
a draw, after a prolonged and hard
fought contest.

NEW SCORING METHOD.
Eastern BowIers Agitatins New Plan
To Figure Totals.

A new system of scoring the game
of tenpins is being agitated i'm the
east and is apt to take definite form at
any time. The proposition will be to
reduce the chances OF accident or too
much good luck by the following:
Perfect score is 200. Each fran or
box is to be Independent and finished
by itself. There is no back "hlling"
or doubling or tripling. Each frame Of
a man or team is completed and count
ed. A strike counts 20 all; spare
made by nine pins on the first ball
counts 10; made by eight on the first
ball counts IS; made by seven on the
first ball counts II, and so on. A spill
or miss counts all that one gets as
at present.

EXPECT MICHIGAN

MAY RESULT IN A BIG
CHANGE.

Ann Arbor. Mich, Jan. 10-Accord-
90 statements made today by Ath-
,otic Director Philip G.. Bartelme'
M,cbigan's attitude toward the western
oorference will be in no way affected
nv the proposed action on the part ol
.ho pennsylvania authorities to sub
,,,it Harvard for Michigan on Penn's
football schedule.
o1 am not yet ready to believe that
nepotiations are closed for Penn
harvard football game as soon as
1912" said Athletic Director Bartelme,
sand even il such a game should be ar
ranged Il Is not at all certain that
Penn will find 1t necessary To drop
Michigan from her schedule. In fact,
received virtual assurances from
nrominent University of Pennsylvania
mon at the time of my recent trip
tbrouqh the east that Michigan could
have a game as long as desired.
oBut in case 1t proves true that Penn
is not only about to resume relations
with Harvard, but that the Quakers
will drop Michigan. what then would
he the effect of the move on Michigan's
conference attitude?" he was asked.
THAT. like the proposition OF re-
turning to the conference itself, is not
an appropriate subject for discussion,
he insisted. 1T is not an open ques-
ton"
Despite the optimistic view taken by
Director Bartelme, Prof. Evans Hol-
brook, former chairman of the board in
control. is of the opinion that the lat
est move on the part of the Quakers
will prove a strong argument In favor
of Michigan returning to the confer
cnce.
"We are sure to go back some time
he said but the question is how long
it will take to open the eyes of the peo-
pie who now believe that the confer
ence has been discriminating against
us. l think If we lose the Pennsylva-
MIA game II will go long way toward
opening their eyes"
