New York, N. Y, Dec. S.-Willie

the battering he received he is not
going to follow the advice of friends
and retire.

you will see"
That gives the up and up on this
game lightweight who has been
classed among the half dozen best
men in his class for the last six
years. But while spirit is fine
thing, Jackson's recent record
makes it look as though he is prct-
ty much on the skids.
Experts who know the lad we'll
say that he began to go down hill
after the terrible beating he re-
ceived from Lew Tender two years
ago. Every one will recall the

AUCUSTANA TO
BATTLE CH|R0
First Collegiate Basketball Game Of
Season Slated for Tomorrow
Night.

The tri-cities will be given their
first glimpse of basketball tomor-
row evening at the Augustana COLI
lege gymnasium when B. j. Pal
mer's cage artists clash with the
Norsemen quintet. The game will
be the first contest OF the season for
both teams,
Coach Swedberg of Augie put his
squad through a light practice this
afternoon and everything is set at
the Lutheran camp for the initial
blast
What men will make the initial
lineup for the Swedes is not known,
and will be secret until the first
whistle. Suits will be issued just
before the game. 1t = probable,
however, that every member of the
Augustana squad will be given the
opportunity OF showing his worth.
The Augie mentor has been shift
ing hfs players throughout the past
two weeks OF practice in an effort
to ind the best combination, and
tomorrow night he will be given
the opportunity of seeing the re-
suit of the seasons preliminary
training.
1t is quite certain that Gus An
dreen, captain of this years 1--WE,
will start at the pivot position, as
will Ole Johnson at back guard.
Th/ other positions will be filled
by three of the following players:
Heider. First, Mahoney, Beal, Sam
nelson. Larson. Conrey, Aronson
and Anderson.
Efforts to get line OF the Palmer
squad have been futile. The back
punchers evidently have something
In the way Of surprise for the Au-
gustana quintet. Rumors are to the
effect that the Palmer school has
4 ,xceptional ability in the cage sport
and that confidence reigns supreme
in the Davenport camp that Angles
bcalp will be taken in basketball,
as It was in the flrst football game
of the season. :.
Two or three hundred boosters of
the Davenport school are planning
to accompany their prides In their
1rst conquest. Augustana's entire
student body will be on hand at the
opening of the hostilities, and the
band will be present to instill pep
and fight into the players. The
game is to be called sharply at 8:l5.
General admission is so cents.
