HUGH NICOL OUT;

land Manager Causes
Schism at Purdue.

Lafayette, Ind, Dec. 5.-Hugh Nicol
who has been director of athletics al
Purdue for eight years, sent his resig
nation, to take effect at once, to the
athletic board of control yesterday.
Three weeks ago Andy Smith, head
football coach, and Pete Vaughn, bas-
ketball coach and assistant football
coach, served notice on the athletic
board that they would no longer serve
under Nicol and rendered their resig-
nations.
All efforts by the Purdue authorities
to bring about a reconciliation be-
tween Nicol and his assistants failed.
A meeting of the athletic board has
been called for Dec. Z, when the ques-
tion of a successor to Nicol will be
taken up.
Nicol is we'll known in Rock Island,
having for years managed the old
Rockford club in the Three-Eye league
and later for a time acted in a similar
capacity for Rock Island.

st. Louis, Mo, Dec. 5.-The 16 foot
ball players of the Missouri School of
Mines at Rollo, Mo, quietly slipped
out of Rolla between daylight yester-
day and arrived in st. Louis a few
hours later, ready for the game today
with Christian Brothers college.
The Rolla faculty was ignorant of
the fact that the team had left for St.

were much surprised when informed
over the lcng-distance telephone that
the players were here.
The faculty will hold a meeting to
determine what punishment shall be
melted out to the players for entering
the game in disregard of the wishes

St. Louis. Mo, Dec. 5.-Charley
White of Chicago last night met and
defeated frankie Callahan, the much
touted Brooklyn lightweight, in a bat
tie over the eight round route. Incl
dentally the Chicago boy gained con-
siderable revenge for the White family
for the beating that Callahan handed
out to his brother Jack at Memphis
several days ago.
The boys went a fast pace for the
entire route. but there was not a sin
gle round that might be given to Cal
lahan. In every session White was
after his man and he landed the most
blows. Whites blows also carried
more force behind them than those
landed by Callahan.
The only credit that could be given
the Brooklyn boy was earned for
gameness. He took all that White
sent and always stood up to the work
in front of him. Callahan was out
boxed and outfought, and it could be
seen after the bout was only a couple
of rounds old that White would be the
winner.
Callahan tried many times to land
a knockout punch, but he was wild and
