means of handling them. He has
called in bankers, business men, social
workers interested in unemployment
and others at different times and has
just written the Secretary of Agric-
ulture to call national conference
of farmers to meet at the White
House. Many farmers are deeply in
debted with farm prices less than for
years and with less purchasing power
for a half century as stated in my last
letter. Too much cannot be expect
ed from the meeting but every one
has vital interest in giving whatever
aid can be extended and that is the
purpose of the call.
Congress begins the new year with
a full program for Legislation which
includes first of all the appropriation
or supply" bills several in number
Two or three days or week or more
are given to each of these bills that
cover some specific departmental ex-
penditures and frequently the bill is
composed Of hundreds of items in
GLIDING hundred printed pages or
more, each item being first read by
the clerk and considered before the
particular bill is passed.
A feeling of business hopefullness
is general as to the new year and
here's hoping that it may be happy
new year to all.

THE BOXING MATCH

he boxing match staged In the Ar
mory by the 107th Am. IT,, under
direction of J. D. Linehan and super
vision of VIM. Hart and Joe Stein
hauer of the State Boxing Commits
sion was declared by all who attended
as an exceptionally entertaining card.
Billy Hart had a rather easy vic
tory over Montana Tom. Riley in
1 the main bout. .-..---,-v1ss. !. a.
Local interest was especially CEN
tered in the semi-wind-up between
Howalt and Chapman. Chapman
surprised everyone by showing a
cleverness and speed, together with
a powerful jab that soon had the
Saltwater boy routed. Howalt had
the best of it in a furious exchange
during the first round, but Chapman's
straight left and right jabs in the
second evened up the honors. The
third round was Howalt's until near
the close, when the local boy more
than offset his opponents lead in a
whirlwind finish. Howalt, badly flus-
tered by the last bombardment, came
back gamely in the fourth, but he
was clearly out of it and the Referee
stopped the battle, after minute of
scr.mmage found the Saltwater boy
helpless. and Chapman won on
technical X. o.
The curtain raiser, between Danny
WEIGH and Tommy Finley was neat
little scrap. Both were willing work
ers and put all they had into the
business. WEIGH was off-balance a
good deal of the time in his earnest
efforts to connect with Tommy's chin.
Some neat footwork in evading
Dams heavy artillery, and by sniping
in some fast blows himself probably
earned Tommy a shade in the general
verdict.
The big scream of the evening was
the go between Carl Parson and Vic.
Bennett. 1t was truly ga bear" 1t
J was battle of lusty, deliberate
blows, and the peculiar style Of the
principals kept the house in an up
roar of laughter from start to finish.
The officiating of Referee Joe
Steinhauer, swimming instructor of
the university of Wisconsin, deserves
great credit. He not only held the
battlers to a strick observance of the
rules, but upheld the action so that
the fans got their moneys worth all
the time, and also maintained perfect
order in the audience. Commissioner
William Hart of Eau Claire, repres-
ented the State Boxing Commission
and was present to see that the rules
of the Commission were strictly OBJ
served.
Another card is scheduled for Ian.
Is. A good card is promised. This
will be staged by the same MANAGE
ment. The announcement that the
American Legion would put on boxing
bouts was an error.

L. Hare, faculty manager of athletics, here to- day,
 Wilson began playing football while in grammar school, and later played three years as guard with Grand Rapids Central high school, in Grand Rapids Michigan,
 Played First Year
 1t was in the fall of 1918, when due to unsettled conditions freshmen were allowed to play on Big Ten Conference athletic teains, that Cob" first came under Yosts tutelage, and he immediately made a berth for himself. In the 1918 season Michi- gan played five games, winning all of them and Wilson played in three of them.
 In the following year, with seven game schedule, Wilson early assured himself of his place at guard, and played every game of the season. In 1920 he played the full schedule with the exception of one, being injured in the Tulane game.
 Was Field Captain
 During the highly successful Michi- gan season just passed, Wilson play ed in all the games, acting as field captain in the Minnesota game in the absence of captain Dunne, who was on the sideline on account of injuries. Michigan smothered Minnesota by score of SS to 0 in this game.
 Coach Hurry Up" Yost has used Wilson as freshman coach and as an assistant coach during spring practice. "Gob" has always been student of football, in all it's phases and is considered one of the best and brainiest linemen that Yost has work ed in many years.
 His success has been due largely to his football knowledge, for ne is somewhat under the average weight of the men he has played against and of the usual weight of linemen of the larger college teams.

Cannot Make Switches

Comes communication from Heflin, seeking information about switches in the batting order in the last inning. "One team con- tended that it had a right to switch it's batters in the ninth inning" says the letter. They did not follow the regular batting order. Please put us right as to the rule for pinch hitters in your Town Pump"
 A pinch hitter, or any number of pinch hitters, may be sent in duing the ninth inning, or any inning. The man or men whose places the pinch hitter takes cannot re-enter the game, how ever. The rest of the batting or der must remain the same as 1t has been throughout the game. In other words if Smith hits for Jones, he must take Jones reg ular turn at the plate. Brown, who has been in the game, must take his regular turn at bat, and no shifts may be made among the men who have been in the game all the way through, or who intend to remain in the game for the rest of the contest.
