Place in the West.

Notre DANES decisive victory over

played good football against Syracuse.
They displayed the same kind of Of
fensive and defensive football as they
did against the Carlisle Indians at the

1t was expected Cornell would win
from Pennsylvania. but even the most
enthusiastic Quaker enthusiast did not
expect Penn to give the Ithacans such
hard battle. The Philadelphia ag

in the early stages of the contest, and
ii only was the superior team play of
the Ithaca eleven which enabled it to
win in the latter stages of the bitterly
fought contest.
Although the Cornell eleven was

given a lot of credit for the WAY il

defeat at the hands of Dartmouth. The
Quakers were beaten decisively by
Michigan and on the following Satur-

In negotiating for the purchase OF the

COFFROTH AFTER
WH|TE-WELSH GO
Frisco Promoter Would Stage
Tilt Between Chicago Boy
and Englishman.
BUT NO ANSWER is GIVEN
Freddie Does Not Respond to Mag
$4,000 Is to Be Guaranteed

Does Freddie Welsh want to fight
Charlie White 20 rounds?
He says he does, providing he can
get the money, but so far neither
Harry Pollock, the champions manag-
er, nor Freddie himself has made any
effort to agree to the numerous offers
made them for such contest.
The latest and what seems to be the
best offer came yesterday from Jimmy
Coffroth, San Francisco matchmaker,
who, according to his telegram here,
wants to put on a lightweight cham
pionship contest featuring Welsh and
White as a wind-up of the fighting
game in California. He asked Nate
Lewis, the Chicago scrapper's nanag-
er, if he would make any concessions
as regards his original price of $4,000
to meet the titleholder. Here's Mates
answer:
We'll meet Welsh under any condi-
tons concerning the money providing
he makes 1873 pounds ringside. We will
cut our price in two and cancel four
dates already arranged"
Would Give $4,000.
This brought a quick reply from
Coffroth. which was to the effect that
Whites terms were fair and that he
had wired Welsh Of accepting his de-
mand for a guarantee of $4,000 for
the mill.
Late last night a third wire from
the Frisco promoter was to the effect
that he had been unable to get salts
factory reply from the title holder. all
of his wires being evasive. and that he
(Coffroth) was up in the air as to
whether Welsh would fight. He said
he hoped to hear something definite
today.
This leaves the match. to use the
well known Charley Murphy's phrase.
in status quo. and strengthens the be-
lief hereabouts that Welsh is not par
ticularly anxious to mix matters with
the local battler over the distance.
Tortorich Changes Mind.
Along with the story might be added
the puzzle concerning why Dominick
Tortorich of New Orleans changed his
mind about staging a White-Welsh
battle The inside" facts in this in
stance might be interesting, for Tor
torich informed the writer that he
wanted the contest, and that he had
already begun negotiations with Pol
lock. Whites demand was put up to
him and he accepted. On the follow
ing day Tortorich could not be found,
but on the next day he gave out the
statement that he would not stage the
match; that it would not draw and that
White was unpopular in New Orleans.
What caused The change of opinion
remains a mystery, but it may be that
the New Orleans matchmaker received
word from Pollock that he was not
anxious to meet Charley for personal
