Doctor Ehler's investigations showed
that only one Of the seven fatal acct
dents could be charged to football In
1910 under the new rules. Wilson, the
Annapolis player, died as the result of
an accident received in 1909. The
Creighton college man died from can
Ger the cause of the death of the Cor
nell student was acute dilation Of the
heart and other causes not to be traced
to football, and the Texas man re-
ceived injuries in 1909, which should
have kept him out Of the game last
year.
The Roanoke player who was hurt
went to neighboring town the follow
ing day to see a match, caught cold in
the rain and died from pneumonia; the
West Virginia player received a blow
on the head from the closed fist of an
opponent, who was ruled off the field,

death by accident"
Not one of these six deaths, said
Professor EhIer, could be charged to
conditions In football brought about
through the observance OF the playing
rules. The death of the Wabash player
was the result of blow received from
the knee of an opponent.

A. NORTH Wins
WRESTLING MATCH
REFS FoRFEITs MATCH TO NORTH
AFTER EACH MAN HAD Sc
CURED A FALL, BECAUSE OF
BADLY sPRAINED ANKLE-WILL
MEET AGAIN.

Before about 100 enthusiastic wrest-
ling fans at the old Stone hall last
night, A. North won over Olaf REFS,
in wrestling match that showed some
excellent graphing work.
The first fall was secured by Refs
in one hour and seven minutes, and
the contest came to an end all in a
moment. During the entire bout North
had been the aggressor and Refs con-
tinually on the defense. While making
a desperate effort to get hold to
secure a fall, North was suddenly
caught by his antagonist and given
the double half nelson, which pinned
him to the mat
The second fall, which was won by
North, was big surprise as well. Dur
ing the second round of the go North
had continued to play the attack. He
had repeatedly been unsuccessful in
his efforts, but of a sudden he put in
some clever foot work and secured a
jackknffe crouch hold and nailed Refs
to the floor.
At the end of this round it was dis
covered that Refs was suffering with
a badly sprained ankle. His seconds
deemed it unadvisable for him to finish
the match, and he forfeited to North.

mo. ATHLETES
HAVE A HOME

Columbia, Mo, Jan. FL The "M'
men of the University of Missouri are
to have a permanent home in Column
bia. At meeting of about fifty stu
dents now in school who hold this
athletic honor it was decided to build
or lease a house and have 1t ready
for occupancy by the opening of school
next fall. The house will be conducted
on the same plan that a fraternity
conducts a chapter house. In case it
is decided to build instead of lease
someone viii be found to finance it
and annual payments will be made on
the structure.
The house will be used to entertain
visiting athletic teams and as a club
house for athletics. In the football
season as many of the M football
players as possible will live at the
house, paying their own board and rent
as they would in any fraternity club
house. 1t also will afford a place for
night meeting of the athletes to re-
ceive instructions from the coaches
and to hear chalk talks and practice
signals Another object is to afford 3
place for the old Men" men to stay
when they return for visit or to help
out in coaching as they sometimes do.
The organizers say there is no doubt
that the plan viii be carried out and
they are confident that the house will
be ready by next fall AS far as
known no western university has q
similar clubhouse.

Only two games were played last

However, they will meet again some
time in the near future, when it is ex-
pected that they will go to finish.
North was always the aggressor
through the entire match. Time and
time again he would get Refs in bad
places, but the quick work of Refs
pulled him out of many holes. North
tried to do a great deal of foot work.
but in this he was unsuccessful, as
Refs was always on his guard with
his toes.
Refs was the faster of the men. He
was quicker on his feet and moved his
arms and hands in more agile man
ner. His speed and deftness is what
has made him the excellent grappler
that he proved himself to be last night.
He is built like young steer and very
muscular. Although lighter than his
opponent, nevertheless his great
strength proved too much for North
to handle easily.
Little time was spent in the pre-
liminary exchanges Of holds in any
part Of the bout. Both men were eager
to be at work and fell to the mat
rapidly, Refs always going down be-
meath. He seemed to have strong
desire to play on the defense and from
the way he handled himself, one would
have thought that he was waiting for
North to take hold, that would easily
allow him to become the aggressor,
and his fall was secured after this
fashion.
The match itself was rather slow,
although 1t was filled with many thrills
for the enthusiastic fans Both men
seemed to lack knowledge of numer-
Gus holds, or they were not able to
make use of these. Suffice to say, the
varieties Of holds shown were very
small.
The match was not over until !
o'clock this morning and strange to
say, the hall was just as full when the
bout ended as it was when the affair
commenced. The enthusiasm Of the
fans did not die down for one moment.
and the only regret to be expressed
was that Of not being able to see the
finish Of a third fall.
The two prelIminaries were very
brief. In the first one Fred Wood
secured two falls from Red Ike in
about Az minutes. Thetaoi aoinnoi
about four and one-half minutes. The
and EtIand, and Glass secured both
! falls, the first one In three and one half
seconds and the third In the same
number of minutes.
