"1 shall hate awfully to see next Thanksgiving day go by without playing football," Eckersall declared. "A good many of the rules were, necessary, I suppose, but it seems to me that' the conference overdid it," Dean Albion W. Small of the Midway school was interviewed last night on the question as to whether, if adopted, the new regime would go Into effect bodily next fall and thereby bar from, competition such men as Captains Eckersall of Chicago, Curtis of Michigan and Current of Minnesota and others of the fourth-year men arid graduate students who haVe not completed their four years of competition. Dr. Small said In answer to these questions: fc No Postfacto Rulings. "The committee will in general insist upon no postfacto rulings. As to specific deviations from the rules proposed, if they*are adopted, it will of course be necessary to call another* meeting of the conference." A number of vexatious -questions are arising regarding the application of tentative reformB.: A second meeting, therefore, of the conference football Committee will be called, probably within a month, at the instigation of President kngell of Michigan. The University of Chicago senate- will hold a special meeting a week from next Saturday., to act. upon the proposed measures. Members of the Midway football 'committee are'unanimous in the opinion^ that the proposed* reforms will be adopted without exception. A. A. D.

SIGNS TWENTY-ONE MEN FIRST "DEFi" IN BASEBALL ALIVE lenge from IowaStirs Up Interest. Central high school has received a telegram from the University of Iowa asking for a base ball same here on April 24. The high-school baseball team has not been organized for the season, but the athletic association will take up the matter at quce and see if it can accommo date the Iowans.. The $10U guarantee asked by the hawkeye management is the great obstacle, and the high school boys are trying to arrange to bring the university into the deal and make the. game a double-header. So fan, they have been unable to strike a bargain with Manager Frank Reed of the university, as he.has no.t yet been author ized to begin on a schedule. The boys will make a return game a part of the contract..* Central has always stood at the head of high school baseball, holding the championship for the past four seasons, and the outlook for a good team this spring is bright. A captain and manager will be elected 'soon, and everything will be ready when the snow clears away. Manager John B. Thompson of North high has seven men of last year's team to start the season with, and there are a number, of fresh men who know the game, which gives the blue and white strong hopes for the championship. The old men who will probably try for the team are the Oswalds, Parker, the La Palms, Green and Johnson. 1 South and East have not been heard from, but probably will be in the field with good nines. With these four teams in the city, and at least two in St. Paul, a strong schedule is assured. In addition to interscholastic games, the high-school beys will probably play practice games with the university and the Minneapolis team, and may take on some of the independent aggregations.

Milwaukee, Jani 23.Are game cocks gam bling paraphernalia, and can the courts order them destroyed as such? If the court so orders and the birds, along with the steel spurs, a padded ring, a bunch of admission tickets and other inanimate ar ticles, are "destroyed," will the person perform ing the act *of destruction become liable for cruelty to animals? Can cock fighting, prohibited under the cruelty to animals statutes, be construed as gambling? These are Questions that Judge Neelin, Attor ney Michael Blenski and Assistant District'At torney Otto Doerner have spent some time wrestling with. "If live roosters can be "destroyed as gam bling paraphernalia, why can't *hey make an order for the destruction of human beings caught in the act of participating In a prize-fight?" was the puzzler that Mr. Blenski put forth in defense of twenty clients who were affected. by the decision of the court. All this worry has grown out of the raid early yesterday morning by police department defec tives on a cocking main. BATTLE GANS AGAIN Journal Special Service. San Francisco, Jan. 23.Practically every sporting writer in. the.city is urging that Britt" must give Gans^a return battle. They all agree that the public-demands .this battle and Britt must either face the colored boy or admit that he is afraid to do so. Saturday night there was a report that Jimmy would meet the colored wonder without any argument, but upon closer examination it was discovered that would not listen to the proposition. "I want to fight Nelson next," said he. "I have beaten Gans, tho I lost the'decision oh a foul, and. that's enough." It Is pointed out that if Brltt had never fought a negro he might now avoid Gans without encountered, would be a gauzy subterfuge The fight between Gans and Brltt left a bad taste in the mouth of the public, and did not add to Britt's laurels. Gans has offered to make 133 at 6 o'clock, and would do 133 ringside If the public would not lose faith in the affair. Coffroth had a long talkwlth Gans just before he left, and the promoter promised to do what he could for the champion. GHICAGO BOXERS FIX FOR NATIONAL TOURNEY Journal Special Service.
