OF WINNING
Claims He Was Victim of
Double Cross in Battle
With Texan.

Minneapolis, Mimi. Jan. 1G.-1n-
terest in the Billy Miske-Fred Fulton
contest, which takes place in the
auditorium ring Friday night, was
given an added impetus with the ar
rival of Fred Fulton and his man
ager, Mike Collins. from Kansas City.
where they were s~nowbound for
thirtN-SiX hours.
Not to be cheated out of his daily
storm. Fulton went through an hours
stiff session in a baggage car attach
ed to his train.
Fulton has not lost any of his we'll
known egotism and the first thing he
said on his arrival vas that he would
polish off Billy Miske in much the
same manner in which he finished
Harry Tate.
Speaking of his fiasco with Tate,
Fulton said: II was a victim of the
double cross in my first battle with
fairly in that contest-in fact, knock
ed him out twice-but was jobbed by
the referee. Both of the punches
that dimmed Tate's lights were clean
punches to the stomach, but the
cards were stacked against me and l
guess l would have been disqualified
no matter what happened.
Tate is Given His Fill.
But proved in our return go that
the Little Rock fiasco was not my
fault. I gave Tate a very severe
in Joplin and in doing SO l did not
hit him below the ears. Tate.
through his manager, Billy Nc
Carney, obtained much good public
ity at my expense through the Little
Rock affair, but I evened the score
and got good revenge in Joplin. Tate
being a sorry looking sight when 1
got through with him."
Collins Convinced Of 'Job.'
Mike Collins said Fulton by his
quick knockout of Tate at Joplin has
convinced the fight fans that Fred
had been "jobbed" in the first go.
Tate didn't have n more chance Of
beating Fulton than he would have
of making a place on Connie Mack's
pitching staff. He tried baseball and
failed and he's no better as a boxer.
Indication are that more money
will change hands on the result of
this contest thar in any other since
the fight game was ,egalized in Min
nesota. Fulton is not popular with
Twin City fans, out he has shown
enough at various times to convince
the public he is a championship pos
sibility should he ever succeed In
taking full advantage of his boxing
ability and splendid physique.
Mill City Behind Fulton.
Minneapolis fans are supporting
Fulton strongly. not because of any
particular like for the big fellow, but
because they figure he will beat
Miske. They contend that while
Fred has not made a good fight in
any ring within thirty miles of the
Twin Cities, that on the law of aver
ages. he is due to show local fans
some Of the dazzling boxing ability he
has exhibited in New York rings.
where he is considered the only real
challenger in the heavyweight divis-
ion.
Local fans who have followed
Miske's career know that Billy fears
no man in the ring. He has a typ
ical fighters heart; is a good boxer
and a stiff puncher. His ring record
is consistent and he has not engaged
in any fiasco like his rival. He will
enter the ring a short-ender, but he
will not lack for support. Much
money has been wagered, the pre-
vailing odds being two to one and
ten to six.

ATHLETICS TO
Be GIVEN BOOST
War will Have Tendency to
Give Strength to Games
When End Comes.

st. Paul. Jan. 16.--Amateur athletics
in particular and all athletics in gen
eral will emerge from the war in q
healthier condition than they enjoyed
prior to it, in the belief Of Len Frank
track and assistant football coach al
the University of Minnesota.
1.-THE war is only a temporary crisis
in the history of athletics" he said,
"At present, with athletes entering
the service every day and popular in
terest directed on the war. athletics
are not flourishing much.
Will Recognize Worth.
the country will realize more than
ever the essential part athletics play
in the development of the fiber Of the
nation.
another reason for optimism is the
training in muscular development men
in the army and navy are receiving.
Men who had never taken part in
sports of any kind are now leading
an active o~ut-of-door life When they
are finally discharged from service
and peace brings them again to their
to an existence which entails only
mental exertion.
ITO satisfy their need for exercise
and sportsmanlike games, they will
turn eagerly to athletics. There will
then be more organizations for ath-
letic purposes and fewer dancing and
card clubs"
Aviation Corps Fnvors Griddcrs.
The desirability Of men who have
led athletic lives has been recognized
by the aviation corps, he declared.
All football men have been registered
by this department and are receiving
literature urging them to enter the
flying corps.
The first indoor track meet Of i'm
portance at the university will be held
January 20, when the freshmen and
s~ophomores tangle in their annual
event The freshmen team is the fav-
orite at present. Under the leader
ship of Rolf Iceland. the yearlings are
a fast squad Ueland is a
hurdler and a star in the making, in
the belief of Len Frank.
Gophcrs VS.. Illinois Tonight.
Because of the blizzard which tied
up train service in Illinois and East
ern states last week, the Gopher bas-
ket shooters did not open their con-
ference season at Northwestern Sat-
urday as scheduled. Weather per-
hitting. they will play Illinois tonight
