Boxing News and Notes
BY FRED HAWTHORNE,

To our way Of thinking, Joking Jess
Willard has finally selected just the
proper place in which to stage ms
championship" fight with Ferocious r.
Fulton, scheduled for July a. According
to reliable reports, Willard and Colonel
j. Carson Miller (he1l be spelling it
that way soon), are planning to conduct
the affair at Newport, in Freebody Park.
We have met Newport and still have
a bowling acquaintance with 1T. ana nave
even been introduced to its famous
Casino. Without wishing to appear
boastful, we now state that We once
hired a fat-bottomed rowboat for 80
cents per hour and padded around
in the ocean until we reached point
directly opposite to the aesthetic
Bailey's Beach, and watched society in
bathing. We finally became bored, after
seeing that all the social fish used two
hands and two feet in swimming and
made the same motions with them
on any Sunday afternoon in mid
summer, when the world and his wife
take their dip.
But the obese Mister Willard ought
to "go big" in Newport. and if Colonel
Miller is on his job as promoter he'll
offer 10 per cent of the net receipts for
the use Of the Casino and stage his
bout ON the championship lawn tennis
court, where there is already a grand
stand, lot of stately trees and very
exclusive stringed orchestra.
OF course, Jess and Fred must be
careful not to conflict with the morn
Ing bathing hour at Bailey's Beach in
arranging the time OF day for their
bout, for promptly at 10:45 o'clock all
the lorgnettes and monocles in the
stands are dropped with simultaneous
movement Of feminine wrist and mas
culine eye, respectively, and everybody
saunters to his or her motor and motors
down to the beach. Unless the water
happens to be very damp, some OF the
summer residents actually don bathing
costumes and play buffets with the
democratic Atlantic Ocean.
The last time we were in Freebody
Park, two years ago, there was a NOV
ing picture being shown, If we rcmem-
ber correctly, that had to do with the

Big 3 to Make
Football Plans
At Early Date

NEW HAVEN, May 6.-Yale, Harvard
and Princeton will make another effort
to decide within a week whether they
will play football next fall, and if so,
under what conditions and restrictions.
Their conference was scheduled for
last Friday night, but at the request
of one of the three it was temporarily
Abandoned
Correspondence has passed between
the three athletic committees, and a
hope has been expressed by all that
the sport may be played under some
circumstances next fall.
More doubt about it's resumption is
expressed at Harvard than at either of
the other two universities, and it is
believed that if an agreement is framed
to revive the game in the fall Harvard
will desire the privilege of withdraw
ing later from any informal plans made
at this time.
Yale and Princeton agree that the
sport this fall should be heavily re-
stricted. Yale would like an agree
ment regarding daily practice. All the
Yale players are compelled to give
three afternoons a week to military
drill, leaving only two for practice and
one for a game. Harvard and Prince
ton players have five afternoons for
practice.
The three universities are united in
desiring the following agreements:
l. Abolition Of paid coaches.
2. Limiting of training tables to
strict food administration conditions
3. Less elaborate plans for games,
large crowds and attendant excitement.
q. Limiting size of training squads.
5. Curtailing travelling expenses and
cutting hotel bills to narrow limits.
6. Making absences from home as
short as possible.
