SORORITY To
QUIT FIGHT
FOR ENTRANCE
lambda Alpha lambda, Fearing the
School Board Ediet. May Throw
Up Active Chapter and Keep
Only Alumni Society Here.

With the opening of school next
Tuesday, high school girls are look
ing forward to IA lot of interesting
excitement over the existence of u
sorority lambda Alpha Lambda, or
ganiZed here this summer among the
high school girls. The edict of the
school board that no member of n
secret organization can attend the
high school has caused the members
to take precautions against discovery
of their plans: but it is rumored that
all the names of the members of the
organization are known.
Although a majority of the men,
bers of the sorority are alumni of
the high school, there remain four
or five who expect to attend high
school this fall. They will be given
cards to sign, signifying their inten-
ton of casting off any allegiance to
the sorority, which is national Or
ganiZation. Miss Ruth Crabb, the
head of the Greek letter society in
Colorado, has announced to Denver
papers that she is going to fight the
school boards for admittance.
A member of the organization has
stated that the few girls belonging
to the sorority here this fall will give
up their membership in the sorority,
and that only an alumni charter will
be retained here.

WOULD MERGE
j. OF C., MINES
AND AGG|ES
sentInel sneclaI servlee.

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver, Aug. 29.-ln certain sec
tions of the state there is being agi-
tated proposed legislative bill that
will provide for the consolidation OF
the School of Mines and the State
Agricultural College with the Uni
versity of Colorado. In fact, 1t is
said here that a bill of this kind is
to be introduced in the 9th general
assembly by Warner Williams, the
president of the State Patriotic
League. which will provide for that
consolidation.
The movement is not approved by
many people in the state who already
are opposing such II measure. The
plan is to place only one board in
charge of these consolidated educa
tional institutions and their three
major departments. The claim for
such action being made by Mr.. Will
Jams is that 1t will raise the rank
of the university from the eleventh
to the sixth in Importance.
The University Of Illinois stands
at the head OF the list of great insti-
tutions of learning. the University
of Minnesota second the University
of Michigan third, the University OF
California fourth and the University
ot Pennsylvania fifth, and, under the
proposed consolidation in Colorado,
the Boulder university would be the
sixth.
There are many reasons why there
is strenuous opposition to the pro-
posed change in Colorado. The rec
Urtls OF the various state universities
and colleges in the past are of such
Il character to indicate that their inn
portance in the circles of learning
needs no consolidation to enhance
their usefulness and Importance.
Take the School of Mines, for in
stance. No other similar institution
in the United States stands as high
as this school as is indicated by
brief review Of the work of the past
few years recently printed in this
paper What is said Of this institu-
tion is also true of the other state
schools.
This proposed bill has no real
merit in it and should not be
passed" said a prominent man today
in discussing the proposed consoli-
dation.

n D WOLGAST is asking for
~ $4,000 for making three
fights And at first blush peo-
pie are inclined to say, Gee, what
a wolf for the coin he must be-"
In sense that's true. With VOL
CAST it is a case of getting it while
the getting is good. But from the
other side of the picture it isn't
such a f1ercely exorbitant demand.
Wolgast always has been one of the
greatest drawing cards the ring
ever had in the lightweight divi-
sion. When promoters stage him
with anybody who, on paper. looks
like something of a match for the
Cadillac man they can reasonably
look for a record breaking gate.
Knows He Is Card.
Wolgast knows better than any
body his worth in the box Office.
Experience has taught him that
promoters usually can take chances
with him and offer him big money
Hence his demands run high. Why
not?
Jim Coffroth said he laughed out
right when Wolgast sprung his
terms on him. There's a reason for
that. for the fighting game right
now Is in bad shape in San Fran
cisco, and it would take a battle
between Jack Johnson and Sam
Langford to draw out anything of a
house.
People out there seem to have
tired of the game, or times are
too hard, or there is some reason
for the slump. In the palmy days
that Coffroth once knew he could
well afford to clinch Wolgast on
the latter's own terms. But un-
Outstanding conditions the way he
does. it's no wonder that Coffroth
laughed.

rest just guess along and get by as

And another thing, It takes three
years to make a manager. A man
ager starts off viewing things from
the players viewpoint. He has to
learn that there is also the club
owners viewpoint and the fans
viewpoint. He usually wastes the
first two years trying to be a good
fellow and after that he wakes
up II he does we'll, he becomes a
real manager in about three years."
