the overturned political fabric which,
If it is to endure, can rest upon no
other principles than those of democ-

which we express such earnest allie
glance and through faith in which we

it is understood that the best of these

Williams Refuses Offer
To Meet Harvard Again

WILLIAMSTOWN. Mass, Dec. 81.
Two years ago. when the annual foot
ball game between Harvard and Will
Jams was discontinued. 1t was predicted
that the time would be short when the
Cambridge University would make ne
Eotiations for revivinG the Erdiron clash
with the Purple. Such has proved to
be the case. for. during the mast week.
the Williams management has received
notification that Harvard would not be
opposed to arranging a football game
with the Purple at Cambridge for next
fall.
1t is doubtful II Williams will take
advantage of the opportunity to return
to the Crimson schedule. at least. not for
the 1916 season. The list Of opponents
for Williams next fall has been praC-
tlcaly decided upon the schedule SeinG
tentatively arranged before word came
regarding the chances for playing Har-
ward. The Purple intends to play prac-
tiCally the same teams that were faced
year ago with the single exception of
the Massachusetts AEEies, who will re-
place Trinity.
The two ODen dates on the Harvard
schedule one of which has been offered
to Williams. are not available for the
Purple, which plays r. +. !. and Union
on the SATURDAYS mentioned 1t is con-
sidered very unlikely that Williams will

AMATEURS CODE IS
FINALLY ARRANGED
Conference at New York Says
What Must Be Done for Ath-
IeteS to "Be Pure"

NEW YORK. Dec. H.--The amateur
athlete today knows why he is an anna
tour and just what hc must not. do in
order to remain one. The congress on
amateurism called by the intercollogi-
ate Amateur Athletic Association APP
proved set OF rules substantially the
same as the rules proposed by the col
leEe officials. They will be presented
to the various amateur sport govern
ing bodies. The a. 4. L. and 1. e.
4. A. A. probably will adopt the code.
Here is the ruling on amateurism:
An amateur.
An amateur sportsman is one who en-
cages IN sport solely for the pleasure,
benefits he derives therefrom, and 10
whom sport is nothing more than an
avoCation.
Acts OF disbarment:
A person shall cease to be an anna
teur by committing any of the follow
ing acts
a. BY competing or giving an exhibi-
tion in any athletic sport under an as
sumed nam". or by being guilty OF ans
fraud or other grossly unsportsmanlike
conduct in connection herewith.
b. BY directly or indirectly receiv-
| ing pay or financial benefits in consid-
Grafton of or as reward for partici-
pating in any public athletic compe-
tition or exhibition or by disposing of
prizes for personal gain.
The conference decided in favor OF
summer baseball for amateurs, suggest
ing that each sport-Soverning body
adopt rule providing summer base
ball should not endanser an amateur s
status.

$4,000 FOR BOUTS
Jack CurIey, However, Holding
Out for 100000 for Two
Shert Battles.

Jess Willard can collect 25nOnO for
meeting Frank Moran and Jim Coffey
in two ten-round bouts in New York,
IL he wants il. He doesn't, for he Is
holding out for $4,000. Until the New
York offer was made today, milwaukee,
was the only city in the country show
ing any desire to witness the worlds
champion in action. even against r
fourth-rater like Fred Fulton. Mil
waukee is willing to pay Willard So 900,
but the titleholdeT is expected to turn
this down for the same reason that he
declines to go TO New York.
A conference was held yesterday in
the Madison Square Garden Company's s
office between Jack CurIcy, who is con-
nected with Tom Jones, manager OF
Willard, and the Garden authorities, at
which Willard was offered $4,000 to
box both Frank Moran and Jim Coftey
for each bout. both of which were con-
tingent on the gate receipts being large
enough to pay that amount.
Curley declined the offer. but said IL
$50 600 were deposited as a guarantee
Willard would box Moran and Coffey or
any two men the Garden authorities
might select. The Chicago promoter
says there is no hurry about the matter
and II is not improbable that he VIII
give the champion $4,000, in which
event the date may be set for early
summer and the bout staged in the
open.
1t was stated that Moran had been Of
fered $3.50 to box the champion, but
the Pittsburgh boxers manager. said
that unless a better offer was forth
coming Moran would not bother about
the title holder, as there was more
money in ten-round contests at the big
clubs.
Manager Jimmy Johnston of the Gar
den said he was waiting to see what the
contest before closing any deal with
Willard, although his offer of S35.0Ol
for a bout between the champion and a
heavyweight selected by the club still
