STRONG HOPES OF
BEATING ALUMNI
High School Team in Fine
Shape Under Coaching of
George B. Corneal.
TO PLAY AT BALL PARK
Arrangements Have Been Made Tor
Holding Annual Encounter
Saturday.

When the Rock Island high school
football team meets the eleven which
is to represent the Alumni in the an
nual gridiron combat between the
grads and the classmen, it will be a
test OF science and training against
the experienced but unframed The
fact that they have had an opportunity
to master several good plays thus far
and that all of their men are in good
condition, leads the high school team
TO hope for a victory over the older
men. If their hopes are realized, II
will be the first victory in five years
for the classmen. Those who have wit
messed the progress of the high school
squad under the direction of Coach
George B. Corneal are unanimous in
the opinion that the team has pro-
crossed rapidly and is nightly attain
ing those qualities which will develop
winning machine.
KITTILSEN AT QUARTER
Coach Corneal has announced that
Captain John Kittilsen, one of the
headiest players in the squad, will play
quarterback and run the team and di-
rect its play. For awhile, it was
thought that he would be played at
half back but the lineup was shifted
several days ago and more than likely
it will be kept that way through the
season. At halfDack. two veterans Of
last years team, Wright and MacManus
will be played. At fullback Hughes,
who starred at center last season will
be used. On the line Behnaman and
Tremann will be the only old men TO
start the game Saturday. The other
players will be new men. The reserve
list will include Larkin, Whistler, An

MEMBERS WANTA
CLASS IN BOXING.
Y. M. G. A. Directors May Be
Petitioned to Allow Instruc-
ton in Manly Art"
is ALLOWED AT ELGIN
Popular at Many Buildings in State
Others Ask for Wrestling
and Fencing.

Is boxing to be permitted as a part
of the physical training OF the Y. NJ. c.
A? This is the question which is
puzzling the heads of certain Y. NJ. c.
\. men who are strongly in favor or
such a move. Physical director Clev-
EFT. since assuming his duties here,
has received a great number of in
quiries by association men, on this
point, who are anxious TO have box
ing class organized. Hitherto the
board of directors has been strongly
opposed to allowing the manly art Of
self-defense to be exploited in the local
gymnasium, the contention being that
it savors too strongly of pugilism. 1t
is probable that a petition will be pre-
scented to the board within a few days.
asking that permission be granted to
have a boxing class. Mr.. Clevett. has
had some little experience in this line,
and would make an excellent instruc-
tor. He stated this morning that
should the sport be allowed, there
would be absolutely no bouts or con-
tests. but everything would be strictly
boxing.
ELGIN ALLOWS BOXING.
A number of associations through
out the country have permitted this
sport in their gymnasiums, notably FL
gin, where q large class has been do
ing active work with the gloves for
several years. Physical Director
James Andersen, who has been so sue
cessful there. was a strong advocate
of this form of exercise. and in all his
experience has never had the privi-
lege abused.
Wrestling, a sport which has always
been popular at the association here.
will probably be revived this fall. A
number OF clever mat men have been
turned out of the association in the
past, and a renewal OF this form of ac-
tivlty Is sure to be popular. Some in
quiries have been made In regard to
fencing, and should a class be formed.
It would probably be necessary to pro-
cure an instructor from some OF the
association members, as Director Clev-
EFT although an adept with the gloves
and at wrestling, has had no expert
ence In the fencing line.
TO INTEREST. MERCHANTS.
A campaign is to be inaugurated to
interest the business men of the city
in the gymnasium classes, and within
the next few days Director Clevett
plans to visit the various merchants
and professional men with a view to
arouse their interest in the physical
work, which will be on a par with that
Of any association in the country this
year.

Gated with the state athletic commits
sion and notified them that. the license
would have to be revoked. COlncident
with this announcement came a report
from a most reliable source that the
law under which the commission was
created will be amended materially
during the present session of the leg
islature, if, in fact, it is not repealed
altogether. Leaders in the legislature,
stirred by criticism which has been
heaped upon the managers of boxing
contests in Madison Square Garden,
have been for several days discussing
possible changes in the law and now
it is asserted they have finally decid-
ed to act. 1t is known that the COVER
nor is not at all satisfied with the way
the law had operated and that he
would welcome a drastic change. Mr..
Carmody. to whom the question of val
idity was referred today, holds that
the club which is conducting the
fights, has not obtained a lease OF
Madison Square Garden for a year
and did not have lease of
the premises for a year prior to the
application for a license. Aaron J.
Levy, an assemblyman, who is also
counsel for the Madison Square Athlet-
ic club declared tonight that he will
take the matter to the courts.

bearing on the future of pugilism in
England, great interest was aroused in
