Princess Newana Gayfish, Winuebago
Indian beauty of Hatfield. Wis. upset
a thousand years of tradition and her
own domestic life when she bobbed
her hair and introduced her fellow

like a reunion of boilermakers.
After the storm had cleared Newana
found herself an exile so far as her
relatives were concerned. But, not
being easily disturbed. she accepted
her misfortune with smile and that
evening she and her baby son turned
their backs on the old reservation
and went to Nebraska. where an un-
Gle left her $4,000 and a large trac.
of land. She will attempt to cultivate
the land.
Newana is eighteen years old and
has been married three years.

Tesreau at Dartmouth. This trio Of
former big league stars have met
with great success. Bill Clarke has
been in charge of baseball at

Rendering a decision in any form
OF athletic competition simply mar.
rows itself into question OF juds-
! ment
When baseball umpire renders
Z a ruling on some very close play IL
is always a cue for any number OF
heated disputes.
The difference OF opinion is not
always confined to the active CON
testants, because the fans can take
just as decided exceptions as the
players
II Is the same old story in foot
bail. The spirit OF competition has
gotten so keen in college circles
that it is az difficult il not more so
TO satisfy the college authorities as
it is the promoters OF he professional
games
Some college football coaches are
exceedingly hard TO please. Football
schedules are short. and couple
OF defeats often raise havoc with
the prestige OF football coach. II
the poor official happens to play a
part in the defeat he is immediate
ly scratched
Football Causes Trouble.
II is more or less a joke among
college football officials as to the
way they are treated. whei an Off
cial gives a ruling that proves the
determining factor in the game. he
at once takes II for granted that he
is through working for the defeated

All OF which brings MS up to the

numerous as on the diamond or
gridiron.
is the system OF having two
judges work in conjunction with the
referee a success as far as boxing is
concerned"
New System In Doubt.
Personally l am or the opinion
that the three-wsy ruling is not as
satisfactory as in the old DAYS when
a competent referee handled every
angle OF the bout gave his decision
without fear or favor and then stood
his ground
II seems TO me that OF late years
with three. experts doing the judg-
I ing, there have been more complaints
as 10 the decisions rendered than
ever before. or course it is only
natural that the judges OF any sport
will often err in making a ruling.
Sport officials are human. Yet it
does seem as il conditions were far
more satisfactory in the boxing
game when the power OF giving a
decision was vested in one man rath-
err than three.
In the boxing game as well as in
all other sports there is a desrth or
capable officials. The scarcity OF
good boxing officials is largely due
to the poor compensation for the
work It doesn't seem logical TO
stage bout in which two men con-
test for supremacy with thousands
