The Wonderful Career
of Frank Gotch Who
Passed Away Recently

T. Carbon of Murrodoc, Aus
tralia, not having heard that
Frank Gotch had passed away.
and wishing to ask some Ques-
tions of the former wrestling
champion. sent a letter addressed
TO him in care of the American
Sports Publishing Company. The
communication is as follows:
Mr.. Frank Gotch, Dear Sir-I
heard that If any one wrote to
you and asked questions you
would answer. 1 would like to
have you answer these questions:
How long did it take you to learn
cost you?. What is the most
money you won in a contest?
Who did you find the best wres-
tier of all you met? Will you
please tell me your height and
weight?"
No doubt if Gotch were in the
flesh he would have answered the
questions, and therefore we will
endeavor to give the desired in
formation. Gotch was born
April %, 1878. at Humboldt, Ia,
stood feet 111A inches tall and
In condition weighed 210 pounds.
His first contest was on April =,
1899, when he was 81 years of
age, and his tutor is said to have
been Farmer Burns, a very skill
full wrestler. Gotch learned so
rapidly that in a years time he
began a career of victory never
before equaled by professional
wrestler. Learning the art of
wrestling did not cost Gotch any
thing except his time and efforts.
The American ath| etc has an ex-
cellent chance to learn by acting
, as assistant to an expert. 1t is
likely that George Hackenschmidt
gave Gotch his hardest battle, as
it lasted two hours before Hack
surrendered. 1t is said that
Gotch's share of the receipts of
this match, which took place in
Chicago, was nearly 100000.

STRONG CREW FOR
HARVARD in 1919
Coach HaineS Predicts Great
Season With Plenty of Can
didates Out Now

Old John Harvard. who was tied
up tighter than any other big school
in its war activities, is going to bust
loose with some noise in rowing, at
least. She intends to have u faster
crew than the winners over Prince
to nand Yale last spring.
The Newall boathouse is alive now
with candidates for the Freshman
and varsity, and the quarters are
being rapidly brought back to pre-
war stae.
II expect to see a great number
of men report for crew the coming
season." said Coach Haines. Row
ing has always been a popular form
of sport at Harvard, and proved that
itself last spring. We were able to
boat sixteen crews without soliciting
the men, whereas other college ath-
letics in some cases had hardly
enough men to form one eam."
At the present time it is under
stood that Harvard will lose only two
members of it's 1918 eight. Francis
Parkman, who rowed at No. 8. grad
uated in three years, and ID. b.
Wilmington, No. &. r. S. Emmett,
the capain, was due in this country
from England. where he was en-
gagged in Red Cross work, two weeks
ago, but he hasn't sent any word to
Harvard. although it is known that
he conemplates returning. Emmet
stroked last year varsity wit hall the
skilfulness of seasoned oarsman
although he never had previous
upper-class experience.
+. b. Whitman will receive his
discharge papers within a few days
and will be back at Cambridge after
New Years. His position was No. Z
j. +. Linder Jr., r. B. BatcheldeI
and r. r. Bowen are expecting to
return. and j. S. Coleman is already
in college.
j. n. Borland II, captain of the
victorious '21 eight. will return tc
college after receiving an army COM
mission at an officers training camp
r.. M. Sedgwick, d. ii. Morris Jr.
Sherman Damon and Nj. E. Oldsted
also members of last years fresh
man crew, are intending to return
to Harvard again. Lieutenant Nose
ley Taylor, of the Naval Aviation
and j. NJ. Franklin, oarsman with
some experience, may also be avail
able. Taylor made his letter in 1916
and has at least one more year in
col -ege.

Coal dealers in the city have ex-
pressed the hope that the activities
of the local fuel administration will
continue until April 1 at least, when
the coal card orders of householders
become null. AS long as the orders
taken for the year ending April l
remain in effect, it is felt by the
dealers that the aid of the coal COM
mission is needed.
The coal situation remains prom
ising, with a surplus in the dealers
yards, and householders ordering
