Doors Securely Barred When Sesston Opens ana Ab-
Princeton, N Jan 20.The following edi
trial condemning Harvard's action in abolishing 1
football appearing in the Daily Princetonian has
brought forth much comment among the under
graduates It said in part
"The action of the Harvard board of over
spers in abandoning football until a game is
manufactured and practiced to conform exactly
with their present theories, places the responsi
bility of reforming and improving the game upon
the other colleges arid -universities in the new
lules committee There is no doubt that the'
representatives of these institutions can do the
work unassisted by Harvard, and do it very
practically and profitably., and there is no reason
why any additional member should withdraw
from the work of the task at hand and leave th
labor to someone else
"The game of football has In it great good,
and with some necessary and wisely thought-out
changes must be a form of athletics invaluable
to college men The present game, with the use
ful proposed changes incorporated, presents
splendid possibilities for a manly beneficial
sport It is the part of those colleges and univer
sities which stand for this in athletics, to re
main by the work for favorable revision, bend
ing their efforts to bring out the good of
the game, of which it contains most, while at the
same time eliminating that which is bad
This seems to be a more rational, competent and
frank course than to abolish the game entirely
because it contains some objectionable features.
"There is a trust imposed upon the faculties
Jand other institutions represented in the rules
^committee to secure by proper changes a foot
*ball game which is of the full value the game
intrinsically possesses It is to be hoped that
these colleges and universities will stand firmly
by -this trust instead of followin gthe line of
least resistance and greatest ease made possiblo
by all the recent popular clamor and exagger
ated outcry against the game. This course is ab
olition."

GLEAN COLLEGE SPORTS
Journal Special Service.
New York, Jan. 20.Charles B. Hughes, who
was counsel for the Armstrong insurance inves
tigating cummittee, was one of the principal
speakers at the dinner of the Brown university
alumni at the University club last night. He
said to part.
"What are we doing to keep alive the tra
ditions of our colleges? Are we going into the
world clean-hearted and clean-handed, with the
gsight ideas of success? Doesn't it seem im
possible that a man should come from the en
vironment and inspiration of his college and be
come the lickspittle of a boss? And yet you
win And among graftersinsurance and other
kindsmany college men.
"I am glad to hear from President Faunce
that football is an innocuous sport. An auto
mobile friend of mine told me the other day that
automobile racing was one of the safest sports.
Jffe proved his assertions, I believe, by the
records of automobile dealers. I think they com
pared favorably to surgical statistics.
"But this is trueclean sports tend to de
velop a sense of honor among college men.
Sports will do much to breed that sense of
x honor which is badly needed among the Ameri
can people. Nothing can be so valuable as that
sense of honor which is Indissoluble with sports
properly conducted. Let everything be for clean
sports, nothing for spoils run with an eye on
the cash box. Better lose money on the season
and have your sports clean than make $50,000
and have a commercial stain on them.
"Now, college men and all the American peo
ple should have this to mind for the future.
Strip bare the fictitious reputations, expose men
who hold what they do not possess, grant no
special privileges to men because of their wealth
alone, let men stand on their oner its."

Against Abolishment of GameProfessional Coach
gathered at the Chicago Beach
a hotel yesterda and discussed the great college
game behind tightly barred doors. Not one of
the delegates would say a word concerning what

statement willt be glTen out unto the close of
the conference late this evening.

4 .the game on the field p.& In the college life
generally
While no definite statements were made by any
of the professors, present devotees of the game
can be reasonably sure that the game will be
played next year and that the few who desire
to abolish the game for a certain period, or
for all time, will not be able to persuade the
majority in favor of the game to take any
radical steps toward its abolition.
Oan't Penetrate Secrecy.
Professor Long of Northwestern, who is at
tending the conference with Dean Holllster of
the same college, said he refused to contradict
the statement that the game was to be abol
ished, and was then asked why Northwestern
had engaged a coach for three years when It
was not certain whether the game was to be
played next year.
"Well, perhaps Northwestern has a conditional
contract with Hunter, with a clause In it pro
viding that if the game is abolished the parties
are released from their obligations," was the
only answer the dean would give
Professor Barton of Illinois, who was
asked what had happened at the meeting, said:
"Absolutely nothing
Fond of Talking.
It was then suggested that the conference
bad 'spent a great deal of time in doing "abso
lutely nothing, and Professor Barton replied:
"We have found a great many men in the
conference who are awfully fond of doing a
great deal of talking and we have given them
all a chance today The result is that we have
accomplished absolutely nothing Whatever we
do will be given out officially tomorrow*, and not
a word before then

Professional Coaching TJfc.
President Angell of Michigan at whose Ini
tiative the conference was called, did not come
on for the meeting, but sent Professor Patten
gill, Michigan's athletic representative He was
one of the first of the delegates to arrive, but
also refused to give out any information. He
said, however, that Michigan had no definite
plan to lay before the conference, and that the
meeting was called for the purpose of general
discussion.
That the question of professional coaches will
receive full attention was gained from some
hints dropped by certain members of con
ference. Many of the delegates are inclined to
blame the professional coa ch,f,or jmanjr*ol^the
evils now of the present style of play. The
solution of the entire question lies In the change
to the graduate coaching system, according to
some of the representatives. It is almost cer
tain that in the resolutions drawn up at the
close of the conference a change to the coaching
system will be advocated
Badger Would Bar Game.
It was also gathered that Wisconsin's -dele
gate refused to consider any proposition short
of barring the game for two years, and In this
time he expects to work out reforms that rad
ically change the game or to abolish It com
pletely The majority, however, are inclined to
thg belief that the temporary barring of the
game will not help, and that the game can be
reformed and played at the same time with
probably better results.
For some time the position of Northwestern on
the football question has not been definitely laid
down, but, from statements made by Professor
Long, it was seen that the Methodist College was
in favor of retaining the gamef but in changed
condition.
"I think a game with the great possibilities
of football should be given many trials before it
is condemned or abolished," said Professor Long.
"I think we have made a step in the .right
direction by engaging a graduate coach."

Woodward's Pavilion, San Francisco, Jan. 20.
Joe Gans, rejuvenated, put up the fight of bis
life last night and knocked out Mike (Twin)
Sullivan in the fifteenth round
Thefelssue was hardly in doubt from the first
round. Oans was always the aggressor and kept
right on top of his man. Sullivan made several
biave rallies, but he could not hurt the colored
man, and finally in the fifteenth round a series
of right-hand blows to the jaw ended Sullivan's
aspirations and put Gans once more at the top
of the fighting heap.
Sullivan was first presented as the "pride of
Cambridge." Gans was introduced immediately
after as the pride of Baltimore.-. Both were
equally well received.

ness to meet any man in the world at his
weight. Jack Sullivan announced that he had
deposited $1,000 to meet Jack O'Brien or Tommy

Mike Schreck, who challenged any man in the
world to meet him Gans and Sullivan then posed
for a flashlight. Gans wore white trunks around

was clad in green trunks, With the stars and
stripes entwined.

terrific mixup Joe sent Jack staggering to the
floor with a terrific right to Jaw. He followed
Jack all over the ring, showering terrific rights

Jack apparently a defeated man, but game to
the core. He saved himself from being knocked
out by hanging on.
"Ninth RoundJack wnt at once to close quar
ters, mixing it with Joe. He missed a left for
Jaw and drove to vicious right and left swings
to jaw and mouth. He followed with two hard
right swings to jaw, dazing Jack. Then Jack
tried to remain cool in the face of the terrible
punishment, but Joe forced the fight, landing left
and right to jaw. Jack fought back gamely and
Joe could not land a vital blow. An instant be

Sullivan took much punishment in this round
and went to his corner none tod cheerful

JOHNSON DECIDES TO
CHANGE THE SCHEDULE
Journal Special Service,
New York, Jan. 20.After Ban Johnson and
Harry Pulllam, the executives of the American
and National leagues, had compared the playing
schedules for 1906 of the two leagues, Johnson
decided to change the date of the American
league's opening in the east. Instead of April
17, as Johnson had announced, April 14 will be
the opening date in this city. On April 14 and
1% the highbinders will play the Boston club at
American League park, and April 17, Lexington
day, the teams will play two games in Boston.
The giants will open their season April 12 to
Philadelphia.
While it win take the two presidents until
Sunday night to get thru with their work of
dovetailing the schedules, Johnson said that there
would be no more conflicting dates than were
necessary last season. A joint meeting of the
two leagues will be held here Feb. 14 to adopt
the schedules Ou the same day, before the
leagues get together, the Joint committee on
playing rules will meet to discuss possible
changes.
President Taylor of the Boston Americans had
a little talk with Ban Johnson. He was indig
nant over the stories that have been spread
broadcast calculated to make trouble between
Taylor and Manager Collins of the Boston club.
According to Taylor there is no friction between
the two. Collins has signed a three year contract
and will have full charge of the team, as in the
past Some of the players are said to be ore
at reductions in their salaries, but Taylor says
they will follow the lead of Qy Young and get in
line.

MICHIGAN SPOUTS
ROUNDLY ASSAILED
Student Monthly Condemns Pres
ent RegimeShows Animal
Instincts of Former Player*.
Journal Special Barrio*.
Ann Arbor, Mich., Jan. 20.The Inlander,
student monthly, came out today with a blttet
arraignment of Michigan athletics and a recom
mendation that the athletic association, the most
important of the student organisations, be abol
ished and the control of athletics turned over
to the Michigan union, an organixatkm of stu
dents which is engaged to raising money tor a
1100,000 memorial building.
The Inlander also advises the dismissal of the
hired coaches, which would mean the banish
ment of Coach Yost, who a year ago signed a
five-year contract at a big salary. The intamVr
proposes that graduate athletes have charge eC
football.
"Take the power from the *paBstve* faculty
board of control," says the Inlander, "and give
it to the Michigan union of students. Also let
the senior council and representative body, elect
ed by seniors and juniors, pass on the eligibility
of athletes. Take the elections out of the hands
of the men on the athletic teams and place
them in the hands of the students."
The writer of the roast savagely arraigns two
of Michigan's former athletes, saying: "C. pos
sessed not a single characteristic of a college
man He displayed the manners of a cow, and
those who knew him sometimes speculated as to
what would be revealed by an autopsy of bis
skull. As a student he was simply a Joke.
"He was awarded the 'M' in athletics. Thru
looseness of tongue he made a consummate ass
of himself and brought the university into dis
repute.* Finally a grave breach of athletic dis
cipline turned the university's stomach against
him and he was ejected.
"C like B., was uncouth and repulsive. Many
students believed him more gorilla than human
being He possessed discretion, obeyed- orders,
studied a little and held his place. Thru re
markable athletic ability, he was made captain.
It is generally admitted that his college ex
penses were paid in whole or to part on account
of his football ability, but it may not be gen
erally known that the athletic association brought
him here with the understanding that bis college
was to cost him nothing."
NEART WINS ROBBERY
CHARGED BY BEZENAH
Milwaukee, Jan. 20.Andy Bezenah of Cincin
nati was defeated in one of the sharpest battles
ever witnessed in a local ring last night. Char
lie Neary was declared the winner in an eight
round fight by Malacby Hogan. The verdict was
received with loud acclaim by Neary's friends,
but the friends of Bezenah claimed he had been
robbed. The friends of Neary, even, were will
ing to admit that a draw would have been a
fair decision.
From start to finish of the light Neary was
the aggressor. At the finish he had the Cincin
nati boy to bad shape. Bezenah, however, land
ed far the mostprobably twice as many blows,
as the Milwaukee boy Besenah played contin
