'J
GOPHERS DEFEAT
FAST DAMA NS
Exciting Basketball Struggle on
the Armory Floor Last
Night.'
Basketball enthusiasts saw the beat local game
of the season last evening when the varsity
quintet added another victory to their list by
defeating the North Dakota Agricultural college
team by a score of 26 to 16. The teams were
evenly matched and the game played by the
Aggies was exceptionally good.
The work of the university team last even
ing was disappointing to the rooters, who be
lieve that "Minnesota Is to be an important
factor in the race for the western intercollegiate
championship. In the first half the team showed
good form, and this period of plays ended with
the score 13 to 5 in favor of the Minnesota
team, but the absence of Captain McBae from
the game seemed to have taken the spirit out of
the team, and in the second, the Aggies scored
10 points, holding the varsity team to IS.
In tho absence of Captain McRae, Robert Der
ftaf, a brother of the famous "Bill." played left
forward, and while he was steady thruout the
game the team work of the gopher players
suffered as a result of McRae's absence.
The first basket In the game was thrown by
Clark of Minnesota, and It was quickly followed
with a basket by Burch, the Fargo star. After
thiss
the
Fargor teamclose playedf
the gophers on even
term until nea the the half when the
Minnesota team took the lead and ran the*score
tip to 18.
At the beginning of the second half the Da
kota started things with two baskets In quick
smcceesion, and gopher rooters began to think
i that their favorites were due for a defeat. Ely
and Brown of the gopher team came to the
rescue, however, and after a hard tussle the
i gophers managed to duplicate the score of the
lint hall.
For Fargo Birch was easily the star. He
'threw some extremely difficult baskets and was
'in the game at all times. Brown of Minnesota
was the other Individual star and the showing
t the gophers was largely due to his work.

GANS GENEROUS TO
IHE LATE W. BRITT
Journal Special .Servioe.
San Francisco, Feb. IT.Joe Gans, the light
weight champion, wants another fight with
Jimmy Brltt at all hazards. Altho a fight with
Buttling Nelson would probably draw1
a bigger
house. Gahs would rather fight Britt than any
of the other lightweights before the public.
Gans said: "Here's my proposition to Brltt:
I will fight him at 138 pounds at 6 o'clock. If
I win I will take 60 per cent of the fighters'
share. If I lose I will take nothing. In other
words. If Britt can beat me he can have all
the money that is coming to the two of us. I
am willing to make this proposition for two
reasons. One is that I know he can't beat
me, and the other is that I want to square
myself for our last fight."

FITZ-O'BRIEN FIGHT
PICTURES ABE COMING
There are many people who object to boxing
bouts, and many more who deplore prize
fights. Yet,. even among these, there are many
who cannot help but have a feeling of sorrow
to think that the onco champion of champions,
"Old Bob" Fitzslmmona, finally went "dw to
defeat at the hands of a young man, Tvlio Was,,
comparatively a novice la ring generalship.
It Is not so long since the memorable Fiti
slmmons-O'Brlen battle In which the odds were
on Fitzsimmons, but in which the money went
to the O'Brien backers. In spite of the fact
that lanky Bob came to the scratch with over
two hundred victories at his back, with his
wonderful set expression of savagery that has
often whipped his opponent befove a blow was
struck, the young Irishman who was his op
ponent was In no way dazed or rattled by the
aspect, but went right at it from the start.
It was a rattling go, lasting thirteen rounds,
before Bob finally gave up, by sinking to "the
floor between rounds. It Is the only occasion
known where the knockout. came as a collapse
from a sheer beating, and it makes it So in
teresting that that particular point in the
films is watched very closely. The film Is said
to bo the very best one. ever secured of a
fight, Is not tiresome to look at because it
does not,- flicker like so many fight films, but
moves smoothly. Every minute of the contest
was a fight, and the film will therefore remain
perhaps for many years as the best one .that
has been reproduced.
The thirteen rounds of the best boxing ever
shown on a canvas will be given at every per
formance at the Dewey theater during the en
gagement of the Miss New York, Jr., com
pany, which is owned by Mort Singer, former
manager of the Dewey in this city.

Special to The Journal,
Tracy, Minn., Feb. 17.In the most stubbornly
fought wrestling bout ever held in this section
of the Btate George Albert of Mankato was
given the decision because his opponent, Bert
Bingham of Tracy, was physically unable to
continue the gruelling contest. The first fajl
was scored by Bingham after a struggle of an
hour and fifty-three minutes, in which every
vestige of the strength of the powerful six
footers was called Into play. Albert took the
Becond fall, but not before thirty-seven minutes
of desperate battling. According to rules, an
other fall was necessary to determine victory,
but Albert's work against Bingham's stomach,
which some of the fans declare was question
able, had Incapacitated the local man and Albert
was crowned victor. The championship of
southern Minnesota went with the decision, but
Bingham probably will challenge to another
bout.

DEWITT SAYS EASTERN
FAGDLTIES ARE LIBERAL
Chicago, Feb. IT.John K. Do Witt, the fam

s* of two years ago, has been in Chicago this week,
the guest of his college friend, Clyde G. Stev-
& ens, who wa
cautainnof the.Princeton
1
champiou-
ship baseballs team i 1003 De Wit has no
S fear that the present football agitation will
3fc: drive the game out of Princeton. He is positive
that the game will be played next year, altho
he does not believe that the modifications In the
rules as suggested by the national football rules
committee will be adopted.
He. believes that football as played today
does heed some reforming. "The new rules that
will tend to eliminate all rough tactics should
be adopted without question," he said. The
rules that will make the game a more open
one, according to De Witt, will affect the game
as played in the .east more than the game as
played in the west, as the east is more prone
to follow the mass play style of game, while
the west plays a more open one.
The big athlete, who now weighs over 240
pounds, does not look seriously on the attitude
of Columbia as taken in the football matter.
"The- New York school never figures seriously in
the football situation in the cast, and the sus
pension of the game there will not affect the
game as the great college game of the east,"
said De Witt.
De Witt Is much Interested In the new game
proposed by Head Coach Bill Reid of Harvard,
and says many features in the game are com
mendable. As De Witt explains Reid's new
game, it will be a combination of the game
played by New Zealanders and of our college
game. The features of the game adopted from
the New Zealanders' game will have to do with
the clever ^nanlpulation of the ball by double,
triple and quadruple passes, which are bound
to make the play open and spectacular.
There is, not the same agitation against foot
ball in tM east by college faculties as Da Witt
finds in tie west. While he is fearful that
Harvard may suspend for a year, he does not
believe that any of the other big eastern institu
tions outside of Columbia will take this position
regarding the game.

New York, Feb. 17.'From time to tin* re
ports have been,circulated in the turf world tot
the effect that the Brooklyn Jockey elub had,
decided to vacate the Gravesend track for a
new home somewhere in the vicinity of Belmont
park, but on each occasion P. J. Dwyer baa
entered a vigorous denial*. It Is learned, how
ever, on excellent authority that Dwyer and
other stockholders of the Gravesend track bad,
after lengthy negotiations, purchased a large
tract of land just beyond Belmont park, within
a few minutes' walk of the Garden City hotel,
which will be speedily turned*Into a great rae*
course at an outlay of nearly $2,000,000.
This plant, which is on the main line of tha
railroad, provides ample room for stands and
buildings as roomy as those at Belmont park,
while It also is possible to construct a race*
course with a. mile straightaway.
The Brooklyn Jockey club, which Is one of
the wealthiest racing associations in the state,
would not be satisfied with the transfer of it*
business to Aqueduct, it is believed, and for ttisa
reason Dwyer has decided to build an entirely
new racecourse where there will be acconunoda*
tlons for the great crowds that usually gather
to see the Brooklyn handicap and other historical
turf classics which hava been nm at Gravnd
for years.
