Brown Undergraduates
To Assess Athletic Tax

PROVIDENCE, R :. Feb. S.-A plan
known as a blanket tax" though it
is not SO much a tax as 1t is scheme
for obtaining subscriptions, has just
been put into operation by the under
graduates of Brown University as a
means of interesting a larger propor-
ton of men in college in student acti-
vities, and, at the same time of pro-
viding for adequate money returns to
the athletic fund of the university, with
reduced rates for all.
Under the operation of the plan for
the remainder of the present year a
student will pay 50 the. winter term
and 50 the spring term for combined
privileges, which separately would cost
50. In return for these payments he
obtains membership in the athletic as
sociation, season tickets to basketball
and baseball games, admission to track
meets, and membership in the tennis
association.
A blanket tax in some form has been
agitated at Brown since last year. The
original plan included subscription to
the college daily and monthly publica-
tions, but as inclusion of these privil-
handling of funds, they have been omit
ted in the plan which is being tested.
About half the undergraduates have
given their support to the plan, and as
pledges have been collected, the tax
has been placed on working basis.
Its practical value was demonstrated
at the opening of the basketball season,
when the attendance of undergraduates
at games was larger than ever before.

Football Star to Enter
Meet At Johns Hopkins

That Harry Costello, the star quarter
back Of the Georgetown football team.
will participate in the Johns Hopkins
meet, has been announced.
1t was stated last week that Costello
would not be able to take part in these
games on account of his studies and
numerous examinations in the univer-
sity, which prevented him from giving
the required amount Of time for train
ing. When seen he expressed his in
tention of entering in the meet, and
with that end in view he has again
taken up training and hopes to get in
condition.
Costello has entered in the high Jump
and the pole vault, and although he
has never performed these stunts in
an indoor meet, Foley expects that he
will make an excellent showing. In
his home State Costello made an en-
viable name for himself in interscho-
lastic circles by his splendid perform
ances. He has done the pole vault at
over eleven feet.

preparatory to leaving for the Boston
games Friday. After today's hard run

uous work until the night of the meet.
The other runners will also let down a
little in their training after today.
until after the Johns Hopkins meet
Saturday night, in which they are
entered.

CHAMPION CONFIDENT
OF GETTING DECISION
Good Preliminaries Scheduled for
Opening of New Ath-
Ietic Club.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. S.-For the
first time in many months this city will
stage a championship contest tonight.
Unless al signs fan the biggest crowd
that ever saw fight in the Quaker City
will watch Knockout Brown, of New
York, exchange slams with Ad Wolgast.
lightweight champion of the world.
philadelphia Jack O'Brien, who or
ganized the new club before which the
fight takes place, said today that the
Gale of seats had been phenomenal.
From New York three special trains
will bring over the fans of that city,
while special cars will bring clubs from
several cities.
Wolgast's Title Safe.
There is 4 slim chance that Brown
will take Wolgast's title away. He has
a terrific punch, and is admittedly q
dangerous little man, although far from
a wonder, more because of lack of ring
experience than anything else. VOL
gast, however, figures on outboxing
Brown and getting the decision on
points.
There has been little betting on the
result, but because Of the fact that the
scrap has only six rounds to go, the
champion is an overwhelming favorite.
AS there are no decisions in Philadel-
phia the only way that Brown can an
mex the title is to knock Wolgast cold
before the bell rings for the finish of
the sixth round.
Good Preliminary Events.
AS for the other events. that between
Jim Barry and Joe Jeanette is expected
to be a hummer. 1t will be close to
grudge fight inasmuch as Jeanette is
sore over the result Of their previous
meeting, when Barry got the decision.
Both are hard punchers and the bout
should be of the slam-bang variety.
Then Digger Stanley and Tommy
O'Toole will put up a good exhibition
as a curtain raiser.
The card is admittedly one of the best,
from a fighting point Of view, ever
staged in this city.

Coach Yost Elated
With Football Rules

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Feb. S.-Coach
Fielding II. Yost,- Of Michigan, has de-
clared himself we'll pleased with the ac-
ton Of the general football rules COM
mittee that met last week in New York,
saving nothing was done to affect the
game. He says he also is we'll pleased
with the provision for a committee for
a cod!fcation of the rules, something
that long has been needed. he declares.
AS to the reduction of the time Of the
first and third rest periods from three
to two minutes, he said: "Of course, 1t
may re possible that breaking up the
game in this way interferes to some ex-
tent with the continuity Of play. How
ever, that is not what we are trying to
solve. We want to keep the men as
fresh as possible. and when they are al
lowed to walk around for two or three
minutes, then change goals, the fellows
feel a whole lot more like going back to
mitting players to be re-suhstituted was
not cut out. I should like to see a rule
incorporated which would allow a player
to re-enter the game at any time"
On the subject of the forward pass,
Yost went on to say:
y am glad the penalty begins at the
spot Of the down, and not from where
the ball was thrown, because II encour-
ages the pass to be worked oftener."
When asked If he did not think the
committee should have eliminated the
twepty-yard zone, as far as the forward
pass was concerned, he said:
"I don't think the rule has much ef-
feet one way or another. You see a pass
is rarely made longer than twenty
yards past the scrimnIage line
81 see there is another rule which de-
clares when a forward pass has been
legally made, hut fumbled and allowed
to touch the ground, that the pass is
ruled incomplete" continued Mr.. Yost

Capt. c. E. Edwards, president of
the Marquette Baseball League, today
issued a call for. the annual meeting of
that organization at the National Guard
armory on Friday evening at o'clock.
The special grounds committee has
been at work for some time and will be
prepared to make a report on several

this.

Extension of Left Field Pavilion
Biggest Change That Will
Be Made.
By THOMAS KIRBY

The management of the Philadelphia
Nationals is greatly perturbed over its
failure to get some definite answer
from this city relative to d proposed
series of exhibition games with the Ma
tionals next month.
Some weeks ago there was a tentative
arrangement for meeting Of the clubs
during the preliminary season. but since
that time the Philadelphia people have
heard nothing from McAIeer. aud have
about decided to finish their Schedule
without allotment of any dates to
Washington. At first the plan was to
have the games here shortly after the
return of the Nationals from Atlanta,
and 1t was later suggested that, II such
an arrangement would not be sat
factory to McAleer, the games be
played at Birmingham, which will be
the scene Of the Phillies' training.
President Fogel and Manager Doom
have been attempting to get in touch
with the leader Of the Nationals, but
as he has been away from Youngstown
on a pleasure trip in Ohio the matter
appears to be dying a natural death.
Washington could certainly stand a
few more preliminary dates.

Next he tried to follow in the foot
steps of his father, and learn the cigar
makers trade. But he failed to nego-
tiate the skilled knaCk of rolling the

backing.
Plowboy Becomes Champion.
The life of the little chap with the
shining kit soon engendered the fight
spirit in the little Americanized German.
He fought with chaps his own age-a
protest against his fellows commercial
encroachments.
Next he took up the fstic game for
its propensities to provide a staple meal
ticket. His first fight was at PetoSkey,
and he "bummed'' his way in box car
to KEEP the engagement. He was pitted
against a big negro who weighed $50
pounds. Two rounds and Ad had
punched him to slumber.

Sorg has ranked with A. G. Wander

II was reported some time ago that
concrete bleachers and fences would be

Of the short time before the campaign

expensive alterations at this time might
prove TO be almost useless when the
projected plant is built next year.
There will be an extensiCa of the left

about 600 more 5O-cent pskons, and a
better arrangement of the Entrance will

VOL CAST ROSE FROM PLOWBOY
TO CHAMPION LIGHTWEIGHT

Ad Wolgast, lightweight champion OF
the world, who meets "Knockou''
Brown in Philadelphia this evening.
has had a most varied career.
Take an imaginary trip to Cadillac,
Mich, and step into the vista of the
home life of Wolgast, as he fills the
eye-a bucolic picture.
Reams have been written about his
prowess as a gladiator in embryo. COL
umns have been printed about his fight
ing ability, about his primitive de-
termination and skill in flooring him
who would block his path to champion
ship honors.
But We are now taking the view of
Wolgast, the simple German-American
farmer boy, grown to a landed pro-
prietor in the Western acres that he
owns. Two and one-half miles out OF
the city of Cadillac the rocky acres OF
the Wolgast farm are flung to the hori-
zun.
Two hundred and sixty Of these are
under cultivation, and here the hero Of
the ring engages in those pastoral pur-
suits that give him the strength. the
sinew, the hone and muscle that per
mitted him to punch himself to the
lightweight title.
Ad Raises Potatoes.
On this landed estate the Wolgast
family is housed. Ad himself when at
home is the simple plowboy. Through
the fecurd acres he drives the steel that
upturns the soil, and all day long he
follows the undertaking burrows with
the placid and patient horses drawing
their farm burden behind them.
