TO n. 0. FOR BATTLE
WITH. BURNS
Crescent City Fans Offer
Even Money Bantam
King Will Lose.

New Orleans. La, Feb. 6.-Johnny
Coulon wired Harry Stout and the other
West Side club officials today that he
was on his way here to meet frankie
Burns In the twenty-round battle for
the bantamweight crown on. Feb. IS.
Jimmie De Forest, Burns mana ger.
declared today that Burns will beat
Coulon. "Coulon cannot meet a boy
like Conley and not knock him out and
then except to meet boy like
frankie within month and expect to
beat him also. frankie Will be trained
to the notch and he is as scientific as
Coulon and has a punch. which Coulon
lacked in his Conley fight. l expect to
see frankie win before the end OF
eighteen rounds. If 1T goes the limit
frankie will get the decision easily"
The betting on the contest so far is
even, many of the local men figuring
that Couion will not be able to beat

Petersen SLAVES OFF
81 LBS. FOR CUTLER GO

Jess Petersen, Danish aspirant for
Champion Gotch's crown, appears to be
getting on to the angles of the Ameri-
can game quicker than his foreign
predecessors. Beef and mere strength.
he has concluded, are not sufficient to
overcome the speed of our mat men
and he has set about to lose the beef
In the hope of getting the speed.
AS a result of Pedersens framing
down process there will be no more
than ten pounds difference in weight
between Cutler and the Dane when the
two step into the Riverview ring to-
morrow night to clash in final con-
test. Pedersen's 266 pounds. which he
brought over from Denmark have
melted away to 235. while Cutler now
scales at 226 pounds.

EAST CHICAGO ONCE
MORE TURNS TRICK

The East Chicago polo team put an
other crimp in the Indiana Harbor
teams chances for championship hon.
ors at the Lewis skating rink at East
Chicago Saturday night. when they cap
tured their third straight victory from
the Harborites by to l score.
Indiana Harbor plugged up by plac-
ing two new men. Perkins and Ryan, in
their lineup, and they proved them
selves equal to the occasion. The game
was fast and each team played full of
pep. East Chicago trying to take three
straight, while Indiana Harbor missed
their opportunity of taking their first
game
During the three games that have
been played at the Lewis skating rink
both teams have proven to be clever
and fast on the rollers. and now that
Hammond has material enough to or
ganize a team, there will be some hot
time between the three fives.
Only one accident occurred Saturday
night to mar the pleasure of the game.
During a short drive Mitchell. one of
the Harbor players, was struck In the
side with the ball and the game was
called for five minutes. At the end of
that time he was able to resume play
ing.
Bald of East Chicago played the
same consistent game as before and
marked up his usual point of the
champs. During the total of three
games he has scored three goals. Car
roll and Dutch" Hewig also played an
excellent game and pulled OF some of
some of that sensational stuff Groat
was also there and put crimp in a
number of sure counters. The follow
ing lineup was used:
East Chicago-Bald. first rush; Car
roll, second rush, Mitchell, center;
Hewig half back; Groat, goal.
Indiana Harbor-Cooksey, first rush
Perkins, second rush; Ryma, center; r.
Smith, half back; Lewis, goal.

with the unnecessary complications and
make the college sport a simpler mat
ter for all concerned. according to
voach Sheldon. The Hoosier official
expressed the belief that the changes
as a whole were friendly to open play.
II think the rules will work out
WE'LL" said Coach sheldon There was
a general demand in the east and west
for more balance between the offense
and the defense and a little more ease
in scoring. 1t was the sentiment of ev-
cry member of the committee that the
game had come to be safer than ever
before, and there was a unanimous
wish to keep 1t so. I think these main
ideas appear IN the new rules and will
have the effect Intended
The onside kick was felt to be a
dangerous play. and that was lead
ing reason for dispensing with it."

NEW FOOTBALL RULES
MAKE FOR SANE PLAY

Increased safety and simplicity and
a decrease in mass play were pointed
out probable elements of 1912 foot
ball yesterday by Coach James NJ. Shell
don. athletic director of Indiana uni
versity on his return from the recent
meeting OF the national rules commit
tee in New York. which he attended as
the representative Of Coach A. A. Stage
of the University of Chicago. The
former Maroon star asserted his faith
in the favorable reception of the rules
by the public. officials and players.
Coach Sheldon emphasized the fact
that the members of the committee in
tended the notifications to react
against mass play and in no sense to
bring back the old style bucking game.
He said the fncrease in the downs from
three to four was not regarded as a
boost for heavy line plunging, which
was looked upon an Objectionable by all
OF the gridiron legislators, and was
thought to be sufficiently guarded
against by the rules against pushing

citement and says the session will be
brief and peaceful one.
President Murphy of the Cubs denies
positively and absolutely that he has
been tampering with Charles Victory
Faust. the Giants mascot. McGraw
says Faust is holding out and charges
the Chicago team with making over
lures to him.
Mordecaf Brown evidently wasn't
impressed much by the report that he
was to be traded. At any rate he didn't
quit the army of holdouts because of
1t.
Tip O'Nei1 doesn't think the Pueblo
people have much of a claim against
Isbell. Tip says there was an agree
ment that the Western league could
take its club out of Pueblo any time il
saw fit after one season there.
