who came so close to losing his
crown. 1t was only short time
after his operation for appendicitis,
and Wolgast was picking supposedly
easy ones for his tryouts before
meeting Willie Richie in the bout
which wrested the title from him.
To begin little bit earlier, after
the four-round bout on the coast in
which Richie poked the champion so
vigorously in the face as to make him
the logical contender for the crown,
Wolgast was making his way east
for some other short round encoun-
tiers. As mark Of gratitude toward
St. Joseph (Mo.) man, Bert Espey,
who had staked him in the days when
he was a preliminary fighter, VOL
CAST stopped over in ST. Joseph for
an exhibition bout. 1t was left up to
the local sports to pick his opponent
and they chose one Freddie Daniels,
who had been making good show
ing.
In the record books you will find
Wolgast credited with victory over
Daniels. In reality, it was stipulated
that there was to be only boxing
match with two-minute rounds and
that both men were to pull their
punches, lest Wolgast's already bat
tered countenance should be further
mutilated. The public so understood
it and so did Daniels. As result,
the pair put on rapid tapping con-
test, in which the local youngster
was not worsted to any considerable
extent.
The match between Wolgast and
Daniels at Quincy followed. Wolgast
was out for blood that night. Dan
iels saw a chance to win fame and
glory for himself, and with the ar
ticles calling for a no-decision SIX
round affair; went in to get knock
out if possible.
He got his chance near the end of
the fight He had been recalling TO
Wolgast that back in the champions

had often boxed together while train

do you remember that day !
Knocked you down and you wouldn't
box with me any more?" asked Dan
iels, as he let drive with his right.
Now, it is not on record that he had
ever done that, but it made Wolgast
mad. Daniels noticed it and he kept
on repeating his query at every
chance. 1t had the desired effect at
last, and Wolgast lost his head mo-
mentarily. He came boiling in like

Daniels swung with his right and it

Wolgast staggered back, badly be-
fuddled. The crown lay WITHIN the
grasp of Daniels, but his second, who
had been looking somewhere else
when the blow landed. believed that
Wolgast was merely stalling
Keep away, keep away" he
shrieked above the pandemonium.
"Ad is just trying to draw you OFT
Keep away
Daniels, taught to obey, backed
away for moment, then, realizing
that he was unwise, shot back to
finish what he had started. But he
was too late. Wolgast, badly dazed,
still knew enough to clinch and he
did it for the rest of the round. Thus
Opportunity knocked at the door of
virtual unknown and he did not
open.
Wolgast, after the fight, admitted
he did not know just what did happen
after that blow.
"He had me dead to rights If he
had just followed 1t up" he said.
Perhaps that crack on the jaw was
one reason why Daniels never got a

IOldl SoG' iVc u
From the sale of student season
tickets Manager Reed has still 81
700.40 on hand, or 40 per cent, to
meet the expense Of other branches
of athletics at the state university,
1t is estimated that with the addi-
tional receipts from basket ball and
track, which are always practically
self-supporting, that all of the other
sports at Nebraska can be main
tanned without having to touch a
single cent of the big surplus piled
up during the foot ball season.
Add to Field Fund.
Reeds report to the board will show
a balance in the treasury from the
preceding seasons of $6,354.31a part
of the permanent fund for the new
athletic field. OF this amount ST.
8l0l0 still remains from the season
Of lol4-l5, and the remainder, $4,-
544,25, is from the season Of lo15-l6.
Added to this permanent fund for the
new athletic field will be the $5,54462
clear from foot ball for the lol6-17
season, boosting it we'll over the $l0,-
600 mark.
1t is the first time that such a care
full division OF funds between the diff
ferent branches of sport have been
kept, Manager Reed declares, and it
shows that the 1867 season was
the most prosperous in the history
of the university.
In only few instances did the in
dividual receipts for the games fall
below those of the preceding year.
The Notre Dame game on Thanks
giving day land the Huskers have the
same date for 1917 set new mark
in finances, with receipts of nearly
$4,000. Coach Jess Harper of Notre
Dame was delighted along with the
Nebraska management and was
pleased to close negotiations for a
Turkey day battle next fall
The Amcs game in Lincoln also
proved to be splendid money
maker. With the game at Ames last
season the Huskers had to be con-
tent with a trihe under $1,000. Last
fall the gate netted over $4,000. The
Drake game yielded practically the
same as in 1915, but the Kansas
Aggies more than overstepped the
mark and bested the 1915 record cas-
lily.
The long trip which the Huskers
made to the coast was not financially
attractive and was not expected to
prove so. The management felt it
did well to break even.
Kansas Falls Down.
The annual Jayhawkcr battle was
a surprise i'll point of receipts. fall
ing considerably below those of for
mer years Heretofore the Kansas
Nebraska games have brought in be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000 on Nebraska
field, but last fall dropped to slightly
over $1,000. At Lawrence in 1915
the total gate receipts set new high
water mark for Missouri Valley con
ference games, with $ll,500 crowd
on hand.
Reed has not heard from the Iowa
game yet, but is confident that Ne
braska will get no more than the
guarantee of $500. The Hawkeyes
drew slightly better than that in 1915,
when the game was played in Lin
coin.
Nebraska athletic authorities con-
slider the showing a splendid one and
an assurance that athletics are on a
solid basis at the Cornhusker insti-
tuition.
Immediately following the Christ
mas vacation basket ball practice will
start in earnest. The first dates for
the Cornhuskers come the middle of
j. nuary.

Foot ball is an ancient game,
As ancient as the hills,
And once it was a game Of deeds,
Which furnished rapid thrills.
Its players used to play with will
And play with all their might,
To win the game-that was the hope
Be victor in the fight.
But now when teams make battle,
All, how It's changed of late,
They care not of the winner,
But the coin that's at the gate.

GAINS IN
 AGRICULTURE

Washington, D. C., Dec. 1S-The year 1915 was the most favorable for farming known in Alaska for many years, according to the an- nual report of the four Alaska agri- cultural experiment stations just published by the United States de- Iartment of agriculture. Grain of all tile varieties grown ripened and ma!ured unusually early, while veg etables and berries produced abund- ant crops.
 A reconnaissance of Matanuska valley, thru which the government railway is to pass, shows that the region is well adapted to general farming and stock raising.
 Promising results were attained in the development of hybrid straw berries at the Sitka station. Sue cess has been achieved in growing certain varieties of apples in the coast country, and what is believed 10 be the first apple tree to bloom ill central Alaska-a Siberian crab -blossomed at the Rampant station' aDout 75 miles south of the Arctic cricle.
 Promising results have been op- ta'ued in breeding grains. Especial success has been had with spring wheats. Work in breeding strains oF alfalfa has continued. Encour- 9 ing growth was made by a variety Of vercb which seems to indicate that this plant will be of consider able value in Alaskan agriculture
 Work was resumed at the Kodiak island experiment station following the volcanic disturbance of 1912. A recommendation was made for provision for the crossing of Hol- sto!n-Friesian cattle with the hardy Galloway beef cattle. The report says it has been demOnstraLeu LHae sheep will do well on natural pas lures throughout the island and coastal regions in the vicinity of the station, and in normal winters these animals can maintain them selves with little feed.
