interests as the United States has a
very appreciable effect upon many

WITH GOTCH?

Humbolt, Ia, Jan. Frank Gotch,
the worlds champion wrestler, issued
an emphatic denial last night to the
statement that he would re-enter the
wrestling game in order to meet
Hackenschmidt or any other wrestler.
II have never wavered from my de-
termination announced some time ago
that / would not go to the mat again,
despite the fact that have been
quoted as saying that whatever Farm
err Burns says goes said Gotch last
night with his fingers crossed. 81 sup
pose that Farmer Burns and a number
of others would like to see me back
in the game, but see no necessity for
my re-entering.
Il will confess that my fiancee's OPP
position to my going to the mat work
again has a great deal to do with my
decision. ] think that every one should
have the right to live his or her life
as it pleases them, and absolutely
refuse to be pushed back into the

YOUNG STARS RUINED

Nothing spells young player more
than the jeers and conversations Of the
fan.
The case may be illustrated by the
experience at Pittsburg. Every man
who ever has played first base there
will tell you that there is no chance to
do good work at the station. Every
little bad play comes in for groans and
loud remarks, which tend to throw the
best player off his game.
Nealon played there and really was
fine example Of a first sacker. He
couldn't stand the gaff. Then Abstein
was absolutely ruined as first base
man. and the same proved to true of
FLYNN last season This latter fellow
was d batting and fielding fiend on the
road but when he struck Forbes field
he went to pieces under the CALLING
criticism of the enlightened rowdies in
| the stands.
Down i'm Cincinnati the same Is true.

FOOTBALL RULES
COMMITTEE MEETS

New York Jan with the meet
ing here of the intercollegiate athletic
association, the question Of further
football revision again comes into
prominence in athletic circles. The
association has made extensive efforts
to find out how experts view the game
as played during the last season and
a set Of three questions had been an
swered by nearly every college ident-
flied with the organization.
The three questions are as follows:
(D.-Are the present football rules
satisfactory? If not, suggest changes
for their improvement.
(2.)-Should coaching be limited to
faculty and alumni members?
(3.)-Were the football rules salts
factorily enforced by the officials dur
ing the last season in your vicinity?
Few Changes Expected.
Conservative opinion among the
delegates of the associations meeting
seems to indicate that there will be
| few changes in the rules this winter,
the idea being to give the rules adopt
ed last winter another years tryout
before definitely approving or rejecting
them.
| an general way the rules have
worked out just as the committee an
ticipated." says M. J. Thompson of
i Georgetown university, the we'll
i known referee and coach. There is
. no doubt In the minds of those who
followed the season closely that the
game was safer and the number of in
ljured greatly lesSened. Nobody sup
Iposes that the present rules are alb
soluteIy perfect and that no further
Improvement is necessary, but there
cannot be many changes next season
without doing a great deal of harm
to the game.
