PRIDE OF CONQUEST MAKES PROFESSIONAL
FIGHTERS OF TODAY BELOW STANDARD

around ring battles, especially the
long-distance goes, has limited the
recruiting ground for raw material to
comparatively few localities.
Where any sport is thus handicap
ped it is of course shortly stamped
out of existence. These opponents
who persist despite this obstacle, are
bound to fall to lower, and lower
standard.
The development field in boxing
has been narrowed down practically
to California ~ 49,
Hundreds of fight clubs have pass

BY EDDIE GRANEY.

1t is like expecting man 10 &C
quire a good business education with
out the intuition of using it to expect
an amateur in sports to keep out OF
the professional realm.
You can't dabble with athletics and
hope to excel. It's got to be made
business, with earnest and constant
devotion taking practically a mans
entire time.
Thus the amateur who reaches
high notch is virtually doomed to be-
come professional unless he's got
the money to make income an I'M
important consideration.
Out of every 100 men who enter
the ring, 80 had not the slightest in
tention to become professionals when
they began boxing. But pride of con-
quest carried them forward. That
same pride exacted so much time and
energy that they untitled themselves
for any other career. Naturally they
had to make it business. The same
is true with baseball.
1t is foolish for colleges to expect
their prize athletes to become sue
cess in anything else, as a general
rule. To do that a man would have
to be a paragon.
That is why the hard and fast line
which it has been attempting to pre-
serve between amateur and profess
sional athletics is being rapidly brok-
en- down. 1t must of necessity be
wiped out!
1t is contrary to all human nature
and the demands of the present-day
world of scratching for living. This
ought to be self-evident to everyone.
Why are the fighters of today fall
ing below the standard of the old ring
days?
1t is the law.
Everyone admits that we have no

During the period when this coun-

WESLEYAN WILL
PLAY FOUR BIG
GAMES TH|SEALL
Best Teams in This Section Of
Country Will Be Played by
Orange and Black Team.

BUCKHANNoN, July 24-The
Wesleyan College football schedule
containing eight games and with two
open dates left on account of espe-
cially hard games the preceding Sat
urdays, was announced by Manager
Stansbury here. The list of contests
is admitted to be the hardest ever
attempted by Wesleyan team. -Four
of the games are to be played in the
principal cities of West Virginia; the
Carlisle Indians being met at Clarks-
burg; Virginia Tech at Charleston,
Washington and Jefferson at Wheel
ing and West Virginia University at
Fairmont.
Every one Of these games Is big
one and will attract much attention
In the districts in which the cities. are
located. The addition OF game with
Dickinson at home is a big feature
of the schedule from a local view
point as there has never been game
Of equal Importance on the home
grounds. Georgetown is again played
at Washington. and since Virginia
and Georgetown does not meet this
year, and since Wesleyan was the
Ou1y QLuSE bOuIucEn lcdui " Oodt Su6
big Catholic institution in 1913, con-
siderable importance will be attach
ed to this game.
The West Virginia University
game on Thanksgiving day in Fair
mont will undoubtedly be the big
game Of the year. In 1912 was the
first time Wesleyan was able to beat
the university, this being at Morgan
town by the score Of 10 to IA. Last
year early in the season at Fairmont
Wesleyan again won, the score this
time being 20 to o. The 1914 game
promises to be the most interesting
and to attract the most attention OF
any game yet played between these
two institutions, as rumors OF
unusual strength are prevalent at
both schools and undoubtedly the
same intense excitement will prevail
around Thanksgiving Day at Fair
mont as was the case last October
when the game was played. The
Washington and Jefferson game in
Wheeling and the Carlisle Indian
game in Clarksburg are also big at
fractions.
The complete schedule follows:
September 26-Carlisle Indians at
Clarksburg.
October 3-open.
October 1O-Marshall College at
Buckhannon.
October 17-yirginia Poly. Insti-
tute at Charleston.

Resistance to Electricity.

Great prominence is given here to
reports of experiments by DR.. Vonn
Pfungen of Vienna, showing the pro-
tective resistance of the human skin
against an electric current.
Normally the resistance averages
from 10000 to $4,000 ohms. In the
morning, owing to the accumulation OF
food residue in the intestines the re-
sistance amounts to 100000 ohms. In
persons suffering from nervous anxi-
ETY. 1t decreases to 5000 ohms and
even to 1000 ohms in cases of hys-
terra.
Won Pfungen's experiments are de-
scribed as proving the oft-observed
fact that the effect of an electric shock
when it is expected is much less Sc
rious than when it is unexpected, so
electicians are psychically better
protected against any shocks they re-
ceive.
Won Pfungen also measured hui
man beings emotional feelings by the
electric current. An art student sat
gripping a carbon electric connected
with galvanometer. To begin with.
his electrical resistance was 10000
ohms, but when he began to turn the
leaves Of an album Of pictures, the
