every student at the university since
1914 knows, was the bull dog mascot

injuries Thursday night.
The dog had become as much a part
of the university as the main building.
He roamed about the campus and the
university buildings at will, wandering
into class rooms and offices with the
freedom extended only to professors and
green freshmen.
Pig" was at his proudest when he
led the LoughOrn band, parading be-
side the drum major. He never missed
an athletic contest and his chief hang
ont was the athletic office. He
''matriculated" at the university when
only a week old.

Now York, Jan. 5.-Dont be sur
prised IL you hear of jess Willard trek-
king 10 New Jersey in the near future.
Here's the story as told the writer to-
day. The promoters of Jersey had n
big idea recently and they proceeded
Immediately to act upon it. First they
questioned Jack johnson, who was so
nice to Willard in Havana, some years
ago.
Would he meet Jess? %
Would he In other words. he would.
Word was sent to jess in Seattle aud
jess said that he would fist eastward
shortly to talk business.
/ Tex Richard has advised the Pqtta-
watnmie giant 10 come East and shaw
himself to the experts, not necessarily
in bout, but in the series of endurance
tests which will give the public Il line
upon his present state of health. IL
Jess is as fit as he says he is, he GER
tainly won't object.
Willard has objected to fighting some
opponent other than Dempsey, not be-
cause he fears being beaten, but be-
cause he doesn't care a lotfor the ring
game. He hates TO train, he says, and,
while it may seem strange. he hates TO
beat opponents up. Besides jess has
a snug bank balance.
All Willard wants is to get into the
ring with Dempsey and pay him back
for the terrible beating Jack gave him
in Toledo. This is the chief desire of
the big fellows life. When he was here
two winters ago his eyes fairly glistened
when it looked as though Dempsey
would give him return battle.
Now it looks as though jess has de-
cided that the only way for him to meet
the title holder is to knock some other
good heavy for n portion of sauerkraut.
And as we have said this shindy will
probably take place in Newark or Jer-
