Given Tough Battle
But Wins.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. l.
Fighting against a handicap of eight
pounds, Tommy Gary of Chicago was
beaten last night by the popular de-
cision route by Willie Beecher of New
York. He was not outclassed. but
outweighed and put up a wonderfully
game exhibition. Beecher was rough
and often held. but Gary stood up for
punishment and always fought back.
The first round was even. Beecher
had the best of the second and third
but in the fourth Gary rallied and
sent Beecher to the ropes by jabs to
the face.
The fifth, sixth and seventh rounds
were hard fought but were all Beech
ers. The crowd went wild with
cheering for Gary in the eighth when
he took terrible punishment, his eye
being cut open. He was warned for
hitting low. In the ninth Gary was
entirely Outclassed. He made a gal
liant attempt in this round but Beech
er drove him to the ropes. Gary
rushed Beecher TO the ropes in the
final round but was forced to clinch.
When the pair weighed in Beecher
weighed 143 pounds. and Gary 1875.
Gary received a weight forfeit of
500.

Last Years FreShieS Are Out
for Places.

Notre Dame promises to have a
wonderful track team this year if 1t
can be determined by the number of
men that turned out for tn first roll
call. Many of last years freshman
and varsity team were out in their
toys TO get a little practice and to get
their positions. Regular practice will
begin in the big gymnasium Wednes-
day afternoon at $3.50 o'clock and will
continue every afternoon during the
season.
Coach Rockne stated last night that
the men may be shifted later on in
the season but at present he will use
Hardy and Bergman for the 100
yards. ExCapt.N Henihan and Welsh
Will be the stars for the quarter. In
the half mile McDonOugh and VOlk-
ers. the local runner, will hold the
positions in good fern according to
the coach for they are both track
veterans. Wagge was the only re-
cruit that was out for the mile. Bar
thelmew and Edward will hold down
the two mile position. Kirkland was
the only man out for the hurdles but
many more promising hurdlers will
be out for the regular workout We'd

captain of the squad. Last years
freshman crew also contributes three
men to the team They are Wagge,
Bachman and Hardy. These men
would no doubt have made the team
last year but were held out on ac-
count of the rule barring freshmen.
The freshmen have the best lot of
material. The men who will do the
running and hurdles are Fresh, King,
Fritch, Vaughn. Bergman and Ed

HURRY Up YOST
DEMANDS SPEED.
Drives Everything Like He
Drives His Football Players
and Has no Patience With
DeIayS-He Never Tires.

NEW YORK. Dec /. - Many
amusing stories are told concerning
'Hurry-Up" Yost. the great Michigan
coach. TO show that ne is "a hurry-up
person in everything he does and that
he has absolutely no patience with
delays.
once upon a time Yost invitNG a
friend 10 visit him at a place where he
was camping The friend arrived In
due time and Yost met him with a
buggy and proceeded TO drive the
friend TO the camp. Yost drove his
horses like he drives his footballers-
fast and StiH faster.
In due course of time the buggy
reached a small creek and Yost in
stead of driving a half mile for a
bridge, drove across the little stream.
1t was a time-saving process. The
horses were going at a great clip The
buggy wheels struck rock and the
buggy nearly upset. Yost's friend was
thrown cut OF the buggy and into the
creek.
Yost. who had been busily engaged
in talking and driving at the same
time never noticed the absence Of his
friend until he reached the other side
OF the creek. Then he pulled his
horses down To a jog, looked back,
and saw his friend wallOwlng in a deep
pool in the creek.
Hey, whatinen you delaying things
for any way2' yelled Yost. Hustle
up and get out OF that creek. Can't
wait all day"
On another occasion Yost invited the
same friend to go hunting with him.
After Yost and his friend had tramped
about 20 miles through the snow COW
cred forest the friend was reduced to
a state Of utter exhaustion.
Lets start back" suggested the
friend
why we've just got started. Come
on! About four miles up there's some
good hunting"
Nix" answered his friend. Il
can't go any farther. I'm all in"
"All right" answered YOst You
lay down and rest in the snow. I'll
be back presently"
And Yost was off, leaving his eX-
hausted friend lying in the deep snow.
In about an hour or SO NOst came
back, loaded with game, and without
a word of inquiry as to how his friend
felt, said:
well, let's hustle back now. 1t
isn't far to walk-only about 10 miles
in a direct route
Yost is a physical wonder. Years or
outdoor life have hardened his mus
cles and made him a man OF iron. lie
can endure more physical strain than
the majority of the strongest athletes
Yost, as a football coach, is driv-
er. No man ever shirked while work
ing for Yost Every man who works
for him must give his best right down
to the last ounce. But Yost never
asks more Of his me. than he can do
