the body which dictates Michigan's
athletic policy.
To this, those who oppose the change
in the method of election argue that in
a popular election today a conference
supporter might be elected in spite
of the sentiment that exists among the
undergraduates. IL three conference
men should be selected to represent
the student body, the board would then
be strong conference organization,
and II would be an easy matter to
send the wolverines back into the big
eight.
However, Ii seems certain that
should student sentiment ever favor a
return to the western combine no man
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 the
board OF control.
The time is not far off-a couple of
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 it,.
Then the student body will want rep
resentatives who truly represent no

to this end that the Tnsurgent" fac
ton is evidently looking. but whether
their plan is better is big open ques-

WOMEN ENGAGED
IN PRIZE Fight

Tulsa, Okla, Jan. 25.--A wave of in
dignation is sweeping the state today
as a result of the six-round prize fight
fought here last night between Bess
Martin of oklahoma and Nellie Ben
nett of Chicago.
Although both women fought at a
fast clip, the referee declared it a
draw. a decision that did not satisfy
the 700 spectators who whooped and
applauded during the affray.
Many of the spectators were wo-
men who showed a surprising know
ledge of pugilistic lingo, shouting to
their respective favorites, Put her
Quit" and Hand her a right upper
cut!"
Although the Oklahoma woman was
stronger, her Chicago sister showed
superior science. breaking through
her opponents guard and mussing her
complexion. In the first round Bess
Martin started off with a rush, but
the second she contented herself with
attempting to dodge the blows of her
adversary. The third and fourth were
about even, but in the fifth and sixth
supporters of Nellie Bennett claimed
that she had a shade the better of the
Oklahoman by reason of her know
ledge Of the Marquis of Queensbury

Tells GOTCH
WHAT IS WHAT

Kansas City. Mo, Jan. 25.-Yussiff
Mahmout refuses to be the goat
any longer. So his manager, Antoni
Pierri, declares in a letter received
by local wrestling promoter today.
The letter says, in part:
I'm tired of allowing Gotch to use
my man Mahmout as a cloak in his
efforts to avoid meeting Hacken-
schmidt. Every time Gotch is in q
tight place, or cornered by the Hack
enschmidt crowd, he pushes Mahmout
to the front. What we want is a match
with Goteh or Hackenschmidt. Nah
mout is willing to wrestle Gotch and
then let the winner meet the Lion
for the championship. But we refuse
to be the cats paw to pull the chest
nuts out Of the fire for Gotch any
longer. We are getting in bad with
the public through the manner in
which Gotch has used us. Let Gotch

MINI. HAS GOOD
BALL PROSPECTS

Minneapolis, Jan. 25.-Despite the
fact that the gophers have played but
one game of basketball and that the
season has fairly started, basketball
enthusiast are talking over prospects
and awaiting the appearance of the
batting cage. Basketball does and for
the next few months will hold sway.

the players, is anxious to get started
Material for team is plentiful but

bury. Strickland. George Hughes and
Peterson were lost through graduation,
while Diehl and Marsh are not in
school. Captain Hartnet, McGovern,
Pickering and Smith are the only
members left. There are number of
likely looking freshmen upon whom
Coach Clarke is relying for winning
aggregation. The freshmen had an or
ganized team last spring and played
games with many of the surrounding
colleges. Several of the members will
undoubtedly be on the varsity this
year .~'s .-..f
Manager Leach has completed ar
rangements for the games to be played,
but the dates will not be determined
until later. Preliminary contests will
be played with Manchester, Hamline,
st. Thomas and possibly one or two
other college teams as soon as the
weather permits.
The gophers will play about the
same conference teams as last year.
Two trips will be taken. The first
one will include games with Iowa,
Wisconsin and Chicago and possibly
Illinois. The second one will be to
Indiana and Purdue and possibly
Northwestern or Marquette.
A game or two will be played with
the Japanese team which will tour this
country and POSSIBLY next year the
team will go to Japan. Manager Leach
is now in communication with the
leading japanese universities with that
end in view.

several CLUBS
Are STRONGER

Washington, jan U.s. Aside from
the fact that everyone is of the opinion
that Connie Macks team will not. have
any great difficulty in winning the pen
nant again this year the other posi-
tons in the race appear to be greatly
In doubt. Detroit, Boston and New
York are three teams that should be
contenders for the first division berths,
and yet this dope may be entirely up
set if Chicago and Cleveland come up
to expectations. This pair is believed
to have strengthened sufficiently to be
called contenders, though, of course,
they must still show just how strong
they are
The brilliant finish which the white
sox made after Lord and Mcconnell
joined their forces has given Manager
Duffy hope that he has strengthened
his team sufficiently to get out of the
second division, though, Of course, a
squirt in the fall does not always in
dictate a winner the next year.
As for Cleveland, there is no doubt
that club has been very fortunate in
picking up young blood of class, but
tidL uoeS LOL always assure NlcIOTy.
AS a rule these youngsters need sew
eral years in fast company before they
are capable of coping with more ex-
perienced teams.
So far as the Nationals are con-
cerned much depends on what McAleer
develops or secures for his outfeld

MINOT TO PLAY HERE
Championship Game of Basketball May
i Be played With High School
Next Saturday.

The high school basketball team will
put in the present week at drilling
as 1t is very probable that they viii
play the fast Minot high school team
here next Saturday.
The showing made last Saturday in
the game with Tower City pleased
Coach Kalmbach considerably, but he
says there are still some weak spots
With this weeks practice the team will
be in the pink of condition and are
shure to give Minot a hard tussel.
Arrangements have been made for
two games with the Grand Forks boys
but the dates have not been secured
as yet. The boys hope to be able to
go to the Forks on Feb. 4.

went TO st. Paul after my man. We
were not given the ordinary courtesy
we expected by the st. Paul police,
and we at last had to resort to the
sheriff, who aided us i'm many ways.
| With his assistance and what we could
learn ourselves, we found that A. Som
! merfield had gone TO Minor and that
| his son had left St. Paul about four
| months before our arrival, and we left
the capital of Minnesota and reached
| Minor Monday. / have not had my
| clothes off for four days and am al
most worn out.
The Arrest Was Made.
Sheriff Johnson and myself went
to the Sommerfield store and Louis
was there and we placed him under
arrest. He did not say anything as
the sheriff told him what he was
wanted for, but asked If he must go
right away, and the officer said he
guessed so. Then he asked IL we
couldn't wait until his father came in,
and TO this we consented. Mrs. Som
merfield almost went into Mysteries
and the father was almost wild with
excitement, and told his wife to go
with us and see that her son had all
the assistance he needed.
Believe Evidence Conclusive.
II have not the slightest doubt that
we have the right man. We have the
evidence. There were two men in the
crime. The other we can lay our
hands on when we want him. There
was no motive for the terrible act. IL
was done out of pure devilment, and
as ] said from the first, was not done
by blind piggers or their sympathizers.
1t is true that I worked hard against
the piggers, but there are none Of them
who would commit this crime. / do
not care to give any of the points OF
evidence that we have. Suffice ii to
say that the case is clean one and
easily susceptible to proof. / can die
any time now and be happy. My boys
reputation will be vindicated, his story
proved to have been true and all OF
the facts will come out"
Appearance of Accused.
Louis Sommerfield is a young man
about 20 years OF age. Is cleanIy
shaver, does not have the appearance
Of a criminal. and as he walked about

afternoon under the watchful eve Of
Sheriff Johnson, he did not appear to

in. His mother who accompanied him.
was near him the greater part of the
time and said that he should have
the best lawyers that could be had.
The accused would not talk about the
case at all, and said he had nothing
to say until he could see his lawyer.
The terrible tragedy at the time ex-
cited the entire northwest. Many be-
iieved that the boy had met with an
accident, for 1t was hard to conceive
that full grown men could do such a
thing, apparently for no cause what
ever.

HAMILTON FIVE
DEFEATS FARGO
EXCITING CONTEST WON BY VS.
iToRs BY A SCORE OF 20 TO TO-
LOCALS WERE WEAK AT THE
BASKET AND ON HOLDING
THE BALL.

In an exciting and well played game
of basketball at the Fargo Y. M. G. A.
last night, the Hamilton team of Two
Rivers, Wis, defeated the Fargo ''Y''
five by a score of 2S to Is.
The visitors started out well in the
first half and gained a big lead. They
used long passes extensively, which
failed to net them any material gains.
All their points were gained from
short throws at the basket with one
exception. In this division of the con-
test the locals played entirely on the
defense and fumbled the ball re-
peatedly.
The second half opened with both
teams having changed lineups. In this
half the Fargo five bombarded the
basket bank, but their shots went
wild. However, the local players
placed the pill into the iron rings a
number. of times, and got within strik-
ing distance of the Hamilton bunch.
With the change in the men the Wis

Simon Mckenzie Talks
OF SOmmcrfieId Arrest
Father Of Young Mckenzie Is Confident That He Has Right
Man-Says That Punishment Of Those Who Killed
His Lad Is Sole Ain Of His Life

with the ending OF the mystery
which caused the death Of my boy
and the bringing to justice Of those
who were responsible for his death and
the vindication of his story, / can die
in peace" said Simon Mckenzie to
The Forum yesterday afternoon, as he
occupied a chair in the lobby of the
Waldorf hotel in this city.
AS was stated in The Forum Of last
evening, Louis SommerfieId, in charge
of Sheriff johnson of Nelson county,
Mrs. A. Sommerfield and Mr.. Nc
Kenzie, were at the hotel on their way
from Minor to the jail at Lakota.
Sommerfleld had been arrested at Mil
nor, charged with being responsible
for the death of Kenneth Mckenzie
and his mother was accompanying him.
The party left for Lakota on the Great
Northern yesterday evening.
Death Bed Story.
"On his death bed" Mr. Mckenzie
continued, Kenneth said that two
men had attacked him on the evening
of Oct. IS, 1909, at the edge of the
park in Aneta, had taken his lantern
from him, broken it and thrown the
contents over him, and set it on fire.
He ran for town and was assisted
home He was so badly injured that
we took him to Fargo, placed him in
st. Johns hospital, where he died on
Oct "a, 1909. His story was told to the
states attorney Of Nelson county. and
was generally believed but an effort
was made on the part of some to dis
credit it, by stating that the boy was
delirious when he told it and that the
true cause of his injuries were brought
about by an accident; that he him
self had upset the lantern in falling,
and that the contents had fallen on
him.
Begins Long Hunt.
IT was determined that the truth
must come out. II was the only way
in which to prove that my sons story
was true and from the day that
learned that he could not recover, that
has been my one object in life.
II remained with him in Fargo for
week and then went back home, and
while there heard some things that
caused me to suspect this young man
Sommerf1eld. I could not get the evil
dence at the time. After Kenneth's
death / secured a Pinkerton man, and
he was In Aneta a week, and at the
end of that time he wanted to arrest
SommerfieId, but / would not let him
because the evidence was not such as
/ felt would convict. You see have
been a police officer myself and know
what evidence is required in such a
serious case.
Father Had a Store.
"a Sommerfeld, the suspects faith
err had clothing store in Aneta at
the time the affair happened. Towards
the latter part of December he closed
out his stock and moved away from
town. / found that he had gone to
Richardton, in the western part of the
state, and supposed that Louis had
gone with him, but afterwards heard
that he had gone to St Paul. Within
the past few weeks we secured all the
evidence necessary, and in company
with the sheriff OF Nelson county.

any man ever seen on the local floor,
and appeared at a much better advant-
age than when he last played in
Fargo.
The game was devoid of any spec
tacular or fast playing. Neither team
seemed to exert itself to the utmost
and although the Fargo players had
bad luck In not being able to hold
the ball and hit the basket, the winner
or the contest was never in doubt.
Aldhous and Fogarty started for the
visiting team. Holzer and Smith Pet

for the locals and aside from sub
