Propose the Formation of Large

For the purpose of forming large
local organization of alumni of Howard

organizations in other parts of the
country, meeting is to be held Satur-
day evening in Library Hall University
campus This and other bodies of
Howard graduates in other places are
to hold local celebrations of charter

len secretary. Robert A. Pelham finan-
ciaI secretary and Miss Nellie 3.

jected a few years ago. Two thousand
dollars of this fund already has been
paid in, and there are outstanding sub
scriptions to the amount of about
Sc 900 or $1,000. The amount raised
and the subscriptions represent chiefly
the efforts of the alumni. Quite num-
resumed payments on their subscrip-
tions. and it is hoped that by the end
of the school year enough of these
shall have been paid in to warran mt
having plans and specifications made
SO that when the fiftieth anniversary
| is celebrated by the university at the
commencement of 1917 the dedicat ton
made one of the features. Prof Kelly
Miller, dean of the College OF Arts and
Sciences, is chairman OF the central
gymnasium committee.

WHITE TRAILS WELSH.
Chicago Boxer Is Trying to Force
Champion Into Ring,

NEW YORK, December 1-There's no
sldestepping the fact that Charley
White will be the first man to get q
whack at Freddie Welsh's lightweight
crown. The Chicago papers decided
this momentous question by a voting
contest among Charley Whites friends.
Charley, being a resident of Chicago,
certainly deserved to win the honors
in the voting scramble. AS no other
city except the town on Lake Michigan
held any sort Of poll we vote to
make the election unanimous
Further corroboration of Charley
White leading the flock of ambitious
grabbers for Welsh's crown was fur
nished yesterday. Harry Pollok, man
ager of the champion. was the lad who
came forth with the yes, yes" stuff
Pollok declared Freddie was ready to
sign articles with White for a cham
pionship battle
All that is required of White is to
have Nate Lewis leave Chicago for this
town. Upon his arrival Nate will only
have to scribble his name to an agree
ment. That Will wind up his work, for
the clubs will then be compelled to
step forth and indulge in wild and furi-
Gus bidding to obtain the match. Pol
lok insists that the bids must not be
opened for two weeks; not one day
more or less Two weeks, and then
the great news will be spread.
There are two bids so far for the
scrap.
A number Of rich Denver sports have
dubbed together and offered Welsh
$4,000 to visit that town and fight
White. Pollok declined this offer and
made a counter proposition calling for
$4,000 and q sliding scale on a winner
and loser basis.
The next offer is from Jim Coffroth,
who expects to open a race course at
Tia Juana, which is supposed to be
close to Los Angeles. Jim wired for
terms, SO Pollok telegraphed back S15,-
900 He is yet to be heard from
OF course, nothing can be done until
Nate Lewis inks the articles Then,
club owners. get on the job Take the
band off the roll. for it's the only way
you'll get the scrap.

PITTSBURGH UNIVERSITY

Cornell faculty committee will not per-
NIT the acceptance by Cornell of the
challenge of the University of Pitts

two institutions to decide the 1915

Cornell concluded it's schedule with the
victory over Pennsylvania at Philadel-

PITTSBURGH. December 1.-The foot

Basket ball bids fair to be much
more popular sport this winter than
in any previous year in Washington
Not only will there be four college
teams. each playing schedules lasting
through December. January, February
and possibly a part of March but the
schools and clubs are taking up the
game as never before
Georgetown. Catholic University
Gallaudet and George Washington
University are to be represented by
teams which should be stronger than
those of year ago. Each of the insti-
tutlons has better prospects for sue
cessful year than when the practice
started last season. New players at
Catholic University and Georgetown
enhance the outlook considerably, while
the veteran material at Gallaudet
should cause the development of a
clever combination. George Washing
ton is also said to have a very bright
outlook for new material
Besides the colleges the Interscholas-
tic League will again be in operation,
as viii several independent circuits AL
ready circuit made up of several
churches is playing through regular
schedule, another composed of several
fraternities is doing the same thing,
and so is the Terminal Railroad Y. NJ.
G.: A. organization. Besides these the re
are many Independent quints.
Basket ball has been gradually grow
ing in favor here for the last three or
four years. and this season seems Ger
tain to attain a status never before
known for it here. The sport is gain
ing foothold not usual for indoor
games in the south, and there are many
who look forward to a time in the near
future when it will reach the same
high mark that has been attained in
Pennsylvania. western Ohio and New
York.
The challenge sent by Pittsburgh to
Cornell for post-Season foot bail
game to determine the eastern cham
pionship has not found favor at Ithaca
The Cornell eleven went through it's
regular season without defeat, is gen
orally accorded the championship and
would have all to lose and nothing to
gain by such a game. The team, too,
broke training after the contest at
Philadelphia Thanksgiving day, and it
would probably not be able to enter a
game in very good condition.

Billy" Butler. who was one of the best
managers Georgetown ever had, also re-
ceived the letter.
Incidentally, word might be said here
for Georgetown's new captain. Nahum.
who held down one of the guard positions
for the last two years, is one of the best
guards in the south, and splendid fel-
low personally. He has the respect and
liking of the entire squad. and has at
tanned honors in scholastic work as well
as on the gridiron. Georgetown could not
have made a better choice for leader
for it's 1916 eleven. Nahum Is probably
the most generally popular student in the
university.
Johnny Saxon has been elected to the
captaincy of the Central High eleven for
next fall. Saxon gained a big reputation
by his work In the scholastic series last
season, not only because of his excellent
play, but for the reason that he was ex-
ceptonally small to accomplish SO much
on the gridron. Saxon is probably the
smallest captain Central ever had but
it is doubtful if the Blue and White has
ever been represented by a more ag-
gressive and intelligent youngster

There is splendid opportunity to
be facetious about a cooperative
home for Widowers. Somehow it
strikes the funny-bone of most peo-
pie to imagine a man sewing the
buttons on Willie's shirt or combing
the tangles out of Susie's hair, but
the reality, unfortunately, is not bit
humorous.
The death of a mother in most
cases spells the breaking up of the
home. 1t is a very common thing in
the juvenile court to hear probation
officers testifying that the father is
unable to properly care for his chill
dren.
1t is not an unusual thing to hear a
father in the fear of losing his chill
dren, the one tie that now binds him
to home life, promise he will engage
a housekeeper or do anything if the
court will but leave his little family
together and a little while later hear
the same man ask the state to put
his children where they will be kept
from running wild.
remember one case that was very
pathetic. The first time the man
was brought in court he insisted that
he was able to look after his boy and
girl and he begged so piteously that
they be left to him that the court
gave him another chance.
Less than a month later he was in
court again. His little girl and boy
had been arrested in a park late at
night. They were running away be-
cause they did not like the house
keeper he had provided to take care
of them.
