MEETS WHITE

NEW YORK. July 1S-Now that
Benny Leonard has been matched
! with Champion Freddie Welsh, the
followers of the little Harlem light
weight are getting anxious about
Benny's condition. Only twelve days
remain before the men climb into the
ring at Washington park and unless
Leonard has been boxing on the sly,
the bell may find the pride of Harlem
somewhat short on speed ann ac-
curacy. Fight followers regard the
swapping up Of Leonard as clever
move on the part of the champion.
With the date only twelve days away
Benny will have to work his head OF
to get into the shape he displayed
when he cut the champion to ribbons
in their last encounter.
Johnny Dundee, who Is always in
shape and who always puts up a
whirlwind battle, might have been
given chance at the champion but
Pollock and Welsh evidently figured
that this Is good time to, eliminate
Leonard.
Welsh has apparently decided to
try and show he is no cheese cham
pion for this Friday he Is scheduled
to meet Charlie White. Chicago heavy
hitting lightweight contender. There
is hardly q chance that Charlie can
slip over knockout in the ten round
limit and the fight will only serve to
keep Welsh on edge for his bout with
Leonard.

A new football conference is
planned for next fall to include the
leading colleges Of Iowa, Illinois. Wis
consin and possibly of Indiana. This
conference will supersede four confer
ences, none Of which is proving salts

them.
This conference is planned to in
clude Beloit college, Lawrence col

Crinnell college, Coe college in
Iowa. Knox, college, Lake Forest col
lege in Illinois. Carleton college in
Minnesota, and perhaps Wabash col
lege and DePauw university in Indt-
ana. Monmouth college in Illinois and
kipon college in Wisconsin might be
Included.
At present these colleges are mem
bers of various smaller conferences.
Knox, Beloit, Lake Forest and Mon
Athletic Conference of the Middle
West. Cornell, Grinnell and Coe are
members of the Iowa conference.
Carleton is a member Of the Mime
sofa intercollegiate Athletic associa-
ton, but plays most of its games with
schools in other states. Ripon and
Lawrence are in the Conference of
Wisconsin Colleges. Wabash and De
PAW are the leading contenders in
the Indiana Athletic Conference.
Expense 10 Drawback.
The conference would furnish inter
esting competition and would stimu-
late interest in clean college athletics
throughout the west. The only draw
back Is the expense caused by the
distances between the colleges. It is
understood that some Of the colleges
have the necessary funds in the ath-
letic treasures. but that the others
will find 1t necessary to raise more
money to enter.
If this conference is not formed
Knox. Belc;;, Grinnell and Carleton
might enter into Big Four confer
ence. These institutions are bound
together by an exchange professor
snip with Harvard, and also compose
the Northern Oratorical and Debating

Academy Was Founded Sixty Years Ago Today-EnroIlment Has In- creased from 30 to 6oo-FootbaIl Team Plays at Storrs.

At the morning exercises Friday, Principal Henry L. Tirrell spoke about the founding of the Academy. He mentioned the fact that October 21, 1916, was the siXtieth anniversary of N. F A. He spoke or the steady growth of the school, since It's open ing, from eighty students to about six hundred He eulogizeo pr. Gulliver and those men who worked to start the Academy. He said that almost everything we enjoy we got through the sacrifice of somebody else, as well as by a sacrifice ofe.our own. Eighty thousand dollars was subscribed to start and run the Academy. Since then many dollars have been contri- buted by public-spirlsed citizens, so that now students can attend N. F. A with practically no personal expense Contrary to general opionion the Academy is a private school, holding a charter from the state. He said that nearly everybody had au ambition, and that that aim should come before ev- erything else, that pleasure and other things should be laid aside when they confiicted V/oh duty that a pupils ideal should be to get as much from his studies as he could.
 The N F. A. footbaII team goes to Storrs College today, to play the sec- ond team. Storrs first team does not have any game scheduled and they will probably play a number of first team substitutes against the visiting team,
