This. the very latest photograph
taken of Jess Willard, disproves the
tales that have persistently appeared
about the great weight which Jess is
supposed to be accommodating. AS this
photo shows him, he is in splendid
condition. and would not need ter
rife amount of work to condition
himself for a bout with Fed Fulton
or anyone else. He Is at JacksonVuie'
Fla, where he is taking things easy
The latest word from Jess pro-
claims him willing and even eager to
meet Fulton for the best purse offered
and as soon as he is wanted
Since Fulton knocked out Frank
Moran his claim to a match with VIII
lard has naturally become more m
sistent The only other man on the
fistic horizon is Jack Dempsey, anu
Fulton seems to have first claim.

TO AWARD LETTER
Members of Yale Baseball and Track
Teams and the Crew to Get the
Coveted ~

New Haven, March 14-Yale has
decided to award the coveted "Y'' in
the three major sports-baseball,
rowing and track athletics-thls
spring. Track men will be given the
insignia for winning points in the IN
tercollegiate meets and, it is assumed,
for capturing points in Nthe proposed
triangular meet between Princeton,
Harvard and Yale, although the meet
is not yet a certainty.
The baseball players will get their
university letter for playing in the
games which are arranged with Har-
ward and Princeton. Details for tht
award of the ''Y' for the crew are not
vet announced. 1t will be given to the
oarsmen who row in the race against
Harvard The proposed race against
Princeton is not settled, and no an
nouncement has been made of an
award for members of the crew who
! row against the University of Penn
| sylvania.
The announcement of the faculty
| that the ''Y" will be given again in
| the three branches of spring sports
| has placed them practically on the
same standard as before war condl-
| tons prevailed. The arrangement OF
intercollegiate schedules in all three
sports, although carefully limited and
| restricted as to Details has completed
the process of launching Yale ath-
letics into as wide competition as can
be planned at present.
Yale will not follow the example Of
Harvard and curtail the minor sports
in any way this spring. A lacrosse
team has been organized. Boxing has
been encouraged, but there are no col
| lege boxing teams, so that faculty &C
ton on this matter is not needed.
A tennis team is being organized
and a professional coach has just been
secured in the person of the veteran
player. William Hinchliffe, who has
assisted in the development Of the
team for several seasons. No move
has been made to organize a golf team
but if one is made permission win be
given to form one, subject to the same
rules of military training and rigid
economy of expense that govern the
| other teams

while Kansas was awarded the popu-

thought that a draw should have been

mighty good lightweight but many

received here indicate that the bout
was the most sensational of the year.
and that both boys fought hammer

Jackson, like Benny Leonard, is OF
Hebrew blood. He has many OF
Benny's traits and is his only danger
Gus rival who really packs a punch.
MANY of Willie's victories have been
featured by knockouts and that over
Johnny Dundee is the most consplcu-
o,1s of them all. Leonard. according
TO his own admission, prefers to meet
such boys as Patsy Cline, Johnny
Dundee and Charley White as they
are far less dangerous than JACKSON
He regards jackson and FRANKIE Cal
1ahan as the real contenders for the
crown
philadelphia and New York experts

PRESIDENT WILSON'S ATTI-
tube ON PEACE QUESTION

Washington, Oct. z. - President
Wilson is comforting with the prem
Iiers Of the entente nations over the
form of answer to be made to Ger
many's latest peace proposals. The
indications are that it will not be
dispatched for a day or two,
While there may be some question
as to the form Of the reply, there IS
no question whatever as to its ma
ture. 1t will not use the short and
forceful terms unconditional sur
renders which would reflect the
sentiment which has come from the
spokesman Of the nation, but it is
sure to convey to the German gov
eminent very clearly the fact that
nothing less than the terms already
laid down can be accepted, and that
those terms cannot be made merely
"the basis of negotiation" AS to an
armistice, such step would be
looked upon as suicidal and Let to
be thought of.
By this time Prince Maximiian's
note and that Of Baron Burian, the
! Austro- Hungarian foreign minister,
in official form undoubtedly are in
the foreign offices in London, Paris
and Rome, forwarded by President
Wilson, as requested by the central
powers.
The exchanges now going on have
two-fold purpose:
Obviously the American govern.
ment would not proceed to speak for
other belligerents on a matter Of
such importance without consulta-
tion among them, and it is purposed
to avoid the mistake of making a
curt and peremptory rejection which
could be used by the central powers
before their own people to bolster
up the argument that they are wag-
ing defensive" war and that the
objects of the co-belligercnts are to
destroy" them.

Do Not Abuse Farm Woodlands

Do Not Abuse Farm Woodlands
Farm woodlands are today being
drawn upon for large quantities of
timber for war purposes. There is
big demand for logs of black wal
nut, white oak, hickory, spruce,
black locust, yellow birch, yellow
poplar, rock elm, ash, white cedar
lin the Southern States) and also
for the bark of chestnut, oak and
hemiock if near tannin-extract fac
tories. Large sound trees of these
species should be cut and marketed
for war purposes, and under no con-
sideration used for cordwood except
as their tops and branches may be
utilized for this purpose.
Farm woodlands are also furnish
in perhaps double the ordinary
amount of wood for fuel. This in
crease may result in considerable
and lasting damage to the woodlands
unless certain precautions are taken.
On the other hand, the cutting OF
cordwood affords each owner ofwood-
land an opportunity to clear his land
and put his timber in better condi-
ton. To accomplish this the idea to
keep in mind is to remove for cord
wood the poorer, less valuable trees,
leaving the better ones to stand. In |
the fuel wood tie greatest |
precaution should be taken not to
injure the more valuable trees or the |
young growth.
