GIL DOBIE TURNED
DOWN BY

University of Washington, Seattle.
Feb. 3.-The proposed expose of the
students accused by Coach Dobie Of
participating in the framing up of q
crooked football election was blocked
by the faculty committee that made
the investigation today. when it re-
fused to make public the names OF
charges Of any of those implicated.
The student board of ontrol may
take up the matter and make an in
v%estigation of its own. but team MEM
bers and some Of the fraternity men
who were accused by the coach claim
that they will refuse to appear before
any committee of the board of control
TO testify.
This is practically IL defeat for
Coach Dobic. He insttgatcd the post
poning of the football election and it
was at his instance that the faculty
took up the matter. He practically
influenced h election of the new
! captain. Herman Anderson. but An
dcrs0n Is Il good man and his choice
is satisfactory to the team and the
students. In all probability there will
lie no more Investigations and Dobic
will not be given the chance to expose
anybody.

meeting of the commission. This be-
came known here at the close of a
meeting in which the commissioners
discussed the referee situation from
various angles and decided upon SOM
important changes which will como
up for final action next week.
n OF the proposed changes is q
reduction of the official list of referees

state. and it was decided to make
twenty-five the maximum number. At
the next meeting a list will be select.
ed, not necessarily twenty-five, blu,
certainly no more than this figure,
all other licenses will be recalled.
After the list has been decided upon,
the commission will follow the assign
ment system instead Of allowing each
club to choose it's own man. Thi.
VIII make the official responsible only
TO the commission, rather than work
Tor the ! owners, as is now the
case
The question Of paying the referee
also came up for discussion, and the
commission will name a specified sum

self at the club. show his credentials,
and receive the figure named after
the bouts.
The commissioners believe that the

Pugilistic Shylocks Make
Grim DemandSin Matches

Shylock's demand for a pound of
flesh to be carved from .Antonio's
cardiac region was but slightly more
tons of some modern boxers. Kid
ShSlock vas apparently actuated 10y u
desire to bring about the rapid disso-
luton of Young Antonio. and while
the boxing Shylocks of the present
merely restrict opponents to Il speci-
fled weight at a certain hour, Yet the
frequent result is the pugilistic undo
ing of the victims of the unfair stip-
ulations.
1t is an established fact that Joe
Cans death was u TO loss OF vitality
resulting fro meNccSsive reduction OF
flesh at h dictation of Battling Nell
son, and the health of many other
boxers has been ruined by taking off
bout that nature has rebcllcd.
The remarkable feature of this per
nicicus practice is that the boxers
who habitually seek to weaken OPP
ponents by weight restrictions hav.
no basis for their outrageous de-
mands. There is not in either the

cd less than 11s pounds rinSside on
the day set for the bout. but as the
arena was unroffed and a heavy rain
fell all day, tbs bout was postponed
till the following day, when McGoverr
won in the first round. Neither man
weighed in the dag of the battle. and
both undoubtedly scaled above ZIG
pounds. Yet this bout was for the
bantam championship of the world,
and no n ever disputed McGovern's
right to tho title.
After McGovern graduated into tho
feathcrweight class Danny Doushcrty
defended the title until beaten by
Harry Forbes, who also beat Andy
Tokei. the English champiofi, for the
worlds title. Forbes in turn lost 10
frankie Neil. Neil's contest with Joe
Bowkcr for the worlds championship
was at 116 pounds Mt 2 y. NJ, the
same being the weight conditions
when Jimmy Walsh boxed Digger
Stanley, tho present bantam champion
Of England in 1900.
Therefore il proved that three in
t"rnatlonal bouts for the worlds han
tam title were q at ringside weight,
n n majority of the bouts for the
american title have been contested
with the weighing time hours in adj
vance Of the gong for the first round.
When Coulon first laid claim to the
Championship he demanded that chaI-
lengers make los ringside. He, how
ever, gradually increase the scale, till
now he meets challengers at l1G ring

IL Will be seen that if McCiorern

ii the claim that titles cannot

We're in vain, and the titles claimed by
