TO CONFER ON
Sizing MEET
Professor Chandler to Confer
With Other College
Representatives.

Prof. E. +. Chandler of the Univer-
sity of North Dakota has received a
notice of the meeting of the repre-
sentatives of the colleges in this state.
South Dakota and Minnesota. which
will be held in st. Paul on December
% for the purpose of discussing the
conference track meet for 1913.
Prof. Chandler will represent the
Flickertail institution at the gather
ing and is the secretary of the con-
ference. Prof. III. O. Burgess of Ma
calester college is at the head of the
association.
Some very important topics will be
brought before the meeting. for dis
cussion. among these will be the
following topics: What is meant
by eligibility" Should preparatory
students be allowed to participate
in college games" Playing on
professional teams during the school
year." "How to secure satisfac-
tory officials for athletic contests
Should a conference track meet be
held in 1912"
A very successful meet vas held at
st. Paul last spring and If the rep
resentatives decide to hold another
next spring there will undoubtedly
be a larger number entered than for
the last one. This conference will be
held at The st. Paul hotel and will
probably continue for the entire day
as there are many important matters
to be considered and the best time to
discuss them is when al of the col
leges have representatives present.

RUDE MARQUARD IS
T SALARY BOOST

st. Louis, Dec. 13.-"New York will

son or 1 will stick to vaudeville and

being" said RUDE Marquard. premier
southpaw of the National league, and
Blossom Seeley's partner in vaudeville.
'McGraw laughed when / asked for
a much smaller sum and inquired
what / had done to justify a raise in
salary. Can you beat that for un-
adulterated nerve? 1t surely gave me
a case of nerves and I toll McGraw Il
few things.
"'What have I done?' said I. What
about those nineteen straight victor
les? And then you don't want to for
get that I won the only two games I
pitched in the worlds %series.'"
Gee, but YOU certainly hate your
SELF" replied McGraw.
THAT last remark got my goat, ard
I boosted the ante then and there"
continued Marquard. II didn't intend
to ask for 10000. until McGraw tried
some of his airdome humor on me.
Now he'll come across with $4,000 or
! will remain in vaudeville.
That's nj dream either. Miss Sec
ley and myself are booked for the next

(By Ed. w. Smith.)

Chicago. Dec. 13.-With fight talk
still hot between Ad Wolgast and Will
lie Richie. and the prospects good for
an early return match-the third. TO
he exact-the fight fans are presented
with some strange things that happen-
ed Thanksgiving day afternoon. and
some of the still stranger things that
may happen in the immediate future.
One of h questions that naturally
arises is this: Can Wolgast come
back and whip the man that beat
him?
Just off-hand. one says at once:
20. they never come back" But is
that true? Not always.
Take the case of Battling Nelson.
Joe Cans beat him on a foul in Gold
field. New, Sept. 8. 1906. yet Nelson
came back on W. occasions after that
and gave Cans sound thrashings. the
first being July 4. 1908. and the next
time Sept. 8. 1908.
This Hitchie- Wolgast battle was the
first championship affair decided on n
foul since the G~ans-Nelson battle in
1906 The question naturally suggests
itself: Can Wolgast come back in the
the title? Why not? It's a question

M|NTOSH REPLIES
TO GROVER HAYES
Says American Lightweight
Ran Out Of Bouts in
Australia.

San Francisco, Dec. 13.-Now, Grow
Ell Hayes. will you be good:
1t will be remembered hat when
the lightweight named returned from
Australia recently he told of being un-
justly treated by Promoter Mcintosh.
Grover said among other things that
he had 10 submit to Wholesale changes
in the contract under which he sailed
for Australia, and that he was COM
PEELED to pay his passage back to this
country after Mcintosh had agreed
tn dcsray all travelling expenses.
The story was cabled to Australia
and WAS branded IL rnisstatemcnt of
facts. BY the mail which arrived re-
Gently rane something in rebuttal of
Hayes complaint from Hugh d. Me-
Intosh.
Here is what the Australian fight
promoter has to say:
The joke of the season so far has
been provided ny Grover Hayes, in
his ignominious bolt back to America
after one licking. The Rather came
to this country with the chance of i;
number OF good fights and purses in
front of him. but after his defeat by
Jack Read the public had very little
time for him. Hayes 'battled' in tina;
light like a comic man in a circus, and
Read simply scored points all the
time. Then the. American packed UT
his traps and boited to his own coun.
try, not sayin' muffin to nobody"
The general opinion in Austria Is
that Hayes, after m licking. judged
it better to go back to the no decision
fights in Philadelphia than to stay III
Australia and take the other !ickings
that doomed very plainly before him.

to the best Of shape and giving the lie
to the critics. who said his slylarking
among the bright lights had untitled
him for the fray. came Jack in grand
style and reversed the previous result.
Wen have Billy Nolan for break
fast. dinner and supper. for a time at
least. Bill is the man who ran Bat
Ting Nelson's affairs for IL time. and
was thoroughly scOlded all over the
country for what looked to be UNI
sportsmaniikc tactics in the first Cans
match. File made Joe weigh in three
times. insisting that the famous COL
orcd star make the weight i'll full ring
attire.
Nolan Worse Than Jones.
Tho promoters thought Tom Jones.
Wolgast's manager. was n tough man
to deal with in the matters of terms.
Nolan will be worse. We take 1t.
Jones usually called the turn on gate
receipts. for Wolgast WAS a tremend-
GUS drawer wherever he went. Wheth-
er Nolan can get the same sparkling
terms for his new champion. and
whether Richie can draw as Wolgast
did are big questions just now for the
promoters to wrestle with.
Also we are recalling the possibility
now of the lightweight limit being
raised because Willie made ringside
weight for WOlgast and won the title.
, Perhaps Willie will make competitors
do the weight while he sits idly by and
doesn't.
Should Richie let down the bars
for the mistit lightweights. or rather
the lightwcights who were misfits UNI
der the Nelson and Wolgast regimes. it
will be good news to Il lot of first -class
boys whose two or three extra pounds
that wouldn't come OFF have prevent
ell them from getting eve n cham
pionship crumbs in the shape of Sec
ond money.
It's up to Nolan. whose ideas seldom
conform to those Of other people in
the fight game. We shall see.

ATTELL ONE Of THE
GREATEST FIGHTERS
las Wonderful Record and
Took OH all Corners Dur
ing His Career.

New York, Dec. 13.-That the re-
marks the passing OF one OF the great
est boxing stars of all time, there will
DC none to deny. For fifteen years
this 1istic marvel not only defended
but finding none left in his own class
worthy of his steel. he invaded the
lightweight realm. Nor did he steal
In quietly by taking on one of tn,
minor boxers of this class. That va.
not his method. He selected the thee
at a time when the Battler was at hE,
best. and fought him to q standstlll,
that, is to a draw.
Attell had little patience with tho
modern champions and would-be
champions who wasted days n weeks

with an opponent If the latter had the
advantage of a few ounces.
Attell took all Corners. He paid
no attention to the weight of his adj
Nersary If it We're within a reasonable
tate to give ten or fifteen pounds away.
How many fights Attell took part
in no one knows. They run into the
hundreds. and unquestionably Great

earned over $250.000. That he has
very little left. If n of his fortune
is agreed by all who know him intl-
mately. Abe loved to hit the high
spots when the coin was flowing in
freely and never paid much attention
to the limit.
Cards, horses and other pastimes
weeded away many thousands of dol
lars. But he was game and never
WINGED. Within the last few years,
when he realized he had hit the to-
hoggan that awaits all titleholders. he
became more careful of his money.
The afternoon that Johnny kilbane's
eies. denoting that Atteli was de-
throned, there was no whimpering OH
the losers side.
He smiled as he left the ring. Hc
has kept smiling. And in many years
TO come you will see Attell with a
grin on his countenance. He's the
last Of the game 'uns. They never
stop smiling, in prosperity or adver-
sity. Vale, Abe Attell.

weight crown jeopardized. the year of
1912 will go down in the annals OF
boxing as Il most disastrous one to

Abe Attell. Il past master of 122-
Founders. was the first to get into
trouble. He lost his corwn to Johnny
Kilbane after twenty rounds of mill
ing in which the Cleveland boy al
ways had a safe lead. Attell has since
proved by three Indifferent tights that
he has gone back past all hope of
ever regaining the title or even ever
figuring again in the championship
ranks.
