s21,ooo FOR SCHOOL SITE

It is understood from unofficial sources that the Burgin acreage, which is desired by the city of Fair field for school site. will be priced at $24.000, or 5000 per acre. It is stated that the site will be opened up with boulevard running out Forty-third street, circling the Bur gin tract, and re-entering Fairfield on Forty first street. Tho high school will be situated in the center of the tract. with the boulevard circling the property.
 The price of s3,oo0 per acre expected to be asked Is considered somewhat high, and it Is probable that the board of education will ask a substantial reduction from that figure. It is hoped that the city and the owners of the property can reach an amicable agreement about the property as the city is hard pressed for the site, and, while fair price will be paid. 1t is stated that the city has the right of condemning for school purposes any properties within the city limits through the agency of a commission appointed for that purpose.

At an approximate cost of S50,000. the Fairfield Ice and Fuel company Is doubling the capacity of Its plant in Fairfield, according to an an- nouncement Thursday afternoon. The plant originally designed to take. care of Fairfield has proven inadequate for the needs of the city, and the owners decided that plant of ca pacity double the original one would be necessary. Machines being installed are of the very latest designs, and will manufacture 60 tons of ice each 24 operating hours. The first unit, comprising the original plant, was capable of making only 30 tons of ice per day.
 It was stated Thursday that had the City Ice Delivery company failed to cooperate with the Fairfield Ice and Fuel company that the latter would have been embarrassed in talk ing care of its customers. AS it was the Birmingham company furnished the Fairfield company with it's neces- sities and has been doing this while the new unit is being fixed. It also was stated that the company was building a sub-station on Ensley ave- nue to take care of the Ensley High lands-Central Park section. The sub station is to be completed about the time the Cotton capacity Is reached.

BIG NEED OF COLLEGE
WRESTLING CODlFYING
RULES OVER COUNTRY
Every Section Has Different
ReguIatiors-Spor Is
Growing. ..:,.
Nv PAUL PREHN

Coach of University of Illinois Wrest-
ling Team and contender for middle
weight wrestling champion of world.
The crying need of college wrestling
today is a codification of the rules.
At present we have the rules of the
National A. 4. T., the Central A. a.
u, the Western Intercollegiate, and
the Pacific A. A. L. These codes diff.
fer in such respects as the length OF
time of bouts, holds allowed and the
system of scoring points.
This makes for difficulty when Off
cials who have worked under one sys-
TEN are called upon to officiate in an
other section of the country.
At the same time it is a disadvant-
age for any meet in which men trained
in one section would be obliged to meet
wrestlers from another. Representa-
tivcs from the various associations
should meet and agree upon "a uni
form code just as is done in foot
ball.
To date college wrestling has not
been financially profitable TO athletic
associations. But this is also true
of practically all other minor sports
The rapid growth of college wrest'
ling is shown by the increase in the
number of students who are taking it
up. Three years ago the University
of Illinois had a very small class Of
men who were interested enough to
turn out for the team and wrestling
classes. One small mat in a corner OF
the gymnasium sufficed
Each year the number increased until
it was necessary to add assistant
coaches TO handle the Overlooking
classes. We were lucky to have these
coaches available in the four-yeaI
course in athletic coaching-student
who had taken wrestling and were
able to instruct. Last fall more than
500 men enrolled. Although this en-
rollment is larger than is ordinarily
the case in most universities, there has
teen a national increase in interest il
wrestling and many universities, col
lrses and country high schools ar,
adding wrestling TO their athletic pro
gram.
Wrestling, as taught IN the various
schools, is not for the purpose OF de
veloping professionals.
1t is to show the average athletically
inclined young man the value to bC
gained from the proper coordination
of mind and muscle. There is no spor
superior to wrestling for demonstrate
ing this.
