Tacoma football fans will see
some real gridiron contests in the

With q sudden change of
heart, the school board yesterday
afternoon granted permission to
the Tacoma Athletic club to use
the Stadium for it's football games
and even allowed it to use locker
rooms and showers in the club

Umegatani japanese champi wrestler ready

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 90. =
To become an immovable mass
seems to be the weighty ambition
of all Nipponese wrestlers.
Then, If you can imagine an i'm
movable mass with the agility of
cat, you will have some coneep-
tion of the Japanese mat adept.
Such q man is Umegatani,
,swiftest and heaviest Of Far East
ern wrestlers, who was recently
here with some 80 other near
champions to stage a tournament.
Weighing nearly 800 pounds,
his wonderful nimbleness was
amazing to followers of the sport
In this country. He is an example
OF the widely different method of
training, compared to our own,
followed by Japanese wrestlers.
Over there candidates for
championships do not strive to re-
duce weight-to acquire the lean
powerful figure of an Apollo. On
the contrary, they exult at the
addition of each pound of weight,
until they become veritable noun
tains of flesh.
Sheathed in this avordupois,
however, the muscles Of exceeding
strength. American wrestling fans
who congregated on this coast to
witness the Japanese tournament
began by soothing and ended In
singing fhe nraises of the brown
heavyweights.
In Japanese wrestling a COM
petitor loses when any portion OF
his body other than his feet
touches the mat, or II he IL push
ed by sheer force outside the
limits of the ring.
Forty-sight distinct positions
are embraced in their mat science.

metal works, blast furnaces, lock-
,er rooms, lecture rooms, in fact
everything necessary for an up
to-date department.
The handiest number of stu
dents for an instructor to work
with Is "a. So "a desks are
found in the drawing room; ac-
commodations are to be had for
"a in the forging room; "a more
at the lathes and so on.
Completely Equipped.
The tinsmithy is completely
equipped with every tool and ma
chine for the making of every
thing in the timers art from
stovepipes to cornices.
The machine shop Is a model,
many of the machines being driv-
en- by power developed on the
machine itself. Everything from
steel lathes to cutters are to be
found, enabling any practical
work which arises.
The molding room Is equipped
with an up-to-date blast furnace
which can be heated to a suffi-
cient degree to turn out molten
metal in 80 minutes. Molds are
made by the students from draw
ings made by themselves.
To Add Electricity Course.
The department in its entirety
offers instruction in nine differ
ent industries and It is the in
tention of those in charge to add
others In the near future.

Boxing Will Be Popular
This Winter, Says Paul

Paul Steele, popular young Ia
coma boxer, whose training
school, the Tacoma School of RoA-
ing, is giving an exhibition Tues
day night, believes that amateur
pugilism is going to be popular
this winter.
"If the game is handled right,
there's no reason why boxing
should not become one of the
most popular sports during the
coming season." said Steele to-
day.
Last year the promoters weat
a little too far, and II was neces-
sary for the authorities to step
in. This year, with a little tact,
the boxers of Tacoma should be
able to arrange some mighty In
teresting entertainments"
Steele's smokers have only
amateurs on the bill, no profess
sional being allowed OF take part.

was to keep the enemy from tell

way of uniforms ever adopted by
coaches has done much good, but

GERMAN TRAINS CANNOT
USE THE RUSSIAN TRACKS
(By Associated Press.)

BERLIN, April 1.-As German
forces press on into Russia, the prob
lem OF adjusting German standard
gauge railroad coaches to the wider
Russian tracks arises. Everywhere
else in Europe the rails are l435
millimettrs apart, but on the Russian
roads they are 1924 millimeters wide.
For some time certain cars and
trains plyink between Germany and
Russia have been equipped with with
interchangeable axles which at the
border can be shifted in a few min
utes, but the majority of the German
rolling stock is not so fitted, especial
ly the passenger cars,
The shift from standard to broad
gauge is accomplished by shunting
cars travelling Russia-ward from the
standard track into sort of turn table
out of which lead the broad gauge
rails. In this table or pit the German
car is lacked at each corner, the STAN

LONDON, April 1.-The use of to-

ish War Office and Admiralty is one
of the innovations which war has
brought in the official etiquette of
London. Prior to August 8, neither OF
these great public offices gave official
sanction to the fragrant weed.
But with the war came work all
round the clock, and the solace of pipe
and cigarette was permitted to the
night workers. Heads of departments
as well as juniors puffed ard were
comforted. Gradually the use Of to
bacco spread to the day side, until
now the smoker has gained complete
victory over the old traditions.

ENGLAND FORCETS
CAMPAIGN
FOR PROHIBITION
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, April 1.-The war on alco-
hol, growing out of the labor situation
existing in Great Britain, has def
nitely taken precedence in British
minds over the anticipated spring ad-
vance of the Allies in the western
theatre of the war.
4 pronouncement by a prominent
cabinet leader in a letter to King
George on the temperance question to-
day evidently is intended to prepare
the way for sounding public sentiment
either to prohibiting absolutely the
sale of intoxicants in Great Britain,
or the adoption of some measure
which would have almost as drastic
an effect.
Public discussion and newspaper
publications this afternoon are con-
centrated upon this new issue, and
among all classes the sentiment is
strong for restraining laws upon the
subject of alcoholic sales. Temper
ance advocates heretofore ridiculed
in many circles have the open sup
port of practically every politician OF
prominence in the United Kingdom,
and former opponents of prohibition
are rapidly changing their attitude.
Lord Kitchener, secretary of war.
and active head of the British armies,
today announced that no alcoholic
leverage of any description whatever
will be served upon his table or per-
mitted to be used IN his household dur
ing the period of the war, and many
other prominent personages have
adopted a like course. Patriotic sa-
loon keepers, in numerous instances,
have announced they will not oppose
the passage of a prohibition law, an
express the belief that restrictive
measures at this time are imperative
if the safety of the empire is to be
properly guarded.
The example of William ]. Bryan,
the American secretary of state, who
threw CONSERVATION among the ranks
of European diplomats by serving on
ly non-alcoholic beverages at official
banquets, has taken deep hold upon
the British public and in official cir
cles, the attitude of the "Grapejuica
Diplomat" will be very generally as
sumed.
Little news of interest from either
of the European battle fronts has bean
permitted to pass the British and
French censors today, and the after
noon papers publish brief stories Of
events on the continent on inside
pages only. The attack on the forts
of the Dardanelles has been resumed,
it is said, but nothing Official can b.
obtained regarding events in the
near east
