grabbing a towel, thoroughly wiped off
Attell s body. It waa seen to be cov

attention to htm.
- Kllbane'a work was a revelation to
Ma friends. Entering the ring with
tie odds X to 1 against him. ha never
faltsred for an Instant. He waa light
ning fast both with bis hands and feet.
A straight left Jab to Attell'a nosa or
or. eye waa his favorite blow.
' Attell seemed wild all through the
tight, but this was due as much to
K.lbane's footwork aa to any other
cause. Aa early as tha third or fourth
roxid It was aeen that Kllbane waa
is inning and had the fight well In hand.
He would rush In. peck Attell with
left and right, then Jump back out of
harm s way. This programme be car
ried out so successfully that by the
time the last few rounds were reached
Attell began to show signs of tiring.
Time and again ths champion tried to
corner tha Cleveland boy. but each
trre ha failed. Kllbane'a speed was
bewildering to tha hitherto Invincible
featherweight, and tha lattera actions
p'alnly showed It.
Deelateei Wildly Cheer.
The decision of Referee. Eyton waa

been a mighty good pugilist In his

hla friends had arranged a benefit and
farewell appearance for him. I waa
billed to do the graceful act and, after
putting up a aufflclently brave bluff, to
fade away alowly and allow Donovan
to retire as tho victor. Tha applause
of Donovan's friends, however, went to
his head and ha commenced to believe
that he waa really winning tha fight
through bla own prowess. So he com

"After getting one particularly vic

Gonzaga College) Compliments
Students on Conduct.
UNIVERSITY OF OROEuN, Eugene.
Feb. 2z. (Special.) Tho University of
Oregon basketball team which hfws re
turned to Eugene from a tour of tho
Inland Empire by way of Seattle won
six of eight games played while away
Besides winning all the matches but
tho two with tho University or wash
lngton. the Oregon lads. Judging from
accounts of the games published In the
Seattle and Spokane papers and from
letters received by Graduate Manager
Geary won a host of friends by their
sportsmanlike, and gentlemanly con
duct.
One letter received by Manager Geary
which Is especially flattering to the
Oregon five, was written by James F.
JiIcElmeed. faculty director of athletics
at uonsaga college, Spokane, it reams
aa follows: "Allow me In the name
of the basketball team and student-
body of Gontaga College to congratu
Iste you on the men representing the
University of Oregon. Your men aro
great basketball players but above all
else they showed themselves perfect
gentlemen, a credit to the University of
Oregon and to their coach Mr. Hay-
ward.
"It was a real pleasure for us to have
them stop in Spokane and we sincerely
hope that in succeeding years the uni
versity of Oregon will give us a game
here.
"In the opinion of the spectators and
players the game last night was the
cleanest ever played on the Gonzaga
floor."
The only discordant note In the har
mony of praise of Oregon's great
basketball team was that struck by
the Walla Walla T. M. C. A. team, who
in The Oregonlan charge the Oregon
men with greasing the floor, being un
duly rough and beating them 40 to 22.
According to the Oregon players, the
Walla Walla team on account of not
having played any conference college
team before this season, had an ex
aggerated notion of lta class.

JOHN-NT'S RISE IS STEADY
New Featherweight Champion Sole
Support of Blind Father.
CLEVELAND. Feb. 22. Two years
ago Johnny Kilbane, the new feather
weight champion, scarcely was known
outside of Cleveland. Ho had been a
contestant in minor bouts since 1905,
but it waB not until the fighting game
opened in several Northern Ohio towns
in the Winter of 1909-10 that he really
began to attract attention.
First Kllbane met and conquered the
best boys of this vicinity. Then Im
portations were made from the East
and West. When Tom McCarey In 1910
promulgated his elimination contests
In Los Angeles, by which was to be
decided who of the native feather
weights should have the right to meet
Abe Attell, for the championship, he
was tha logical entrant.
Kllbane decisively defeated Joe Riv
ers, Patsy Kline and Frankie Coniey,
his closest rivals, thus earning the
right to meet Attell in the battle for
the championship.
Johnny Kilbane was born and reared
in Cleveland. He will be 23 years old
April 18. He Is married and has a
baby daughter. His habits are of the
best. He is the sole support of his
blind father.
Johnny Kllbane's next ring contest
probably will be with Bobby Reynolds,
of Philadelphia. Reynolds, who is hers
today, received a letter from Tom Mc
Carey, of Los Angeles, asking his terms
to meet the winner of today's contest
there. Reynolds. It Is said, will not
miss the chance to meet the champion
the latter part of next month.

Fossil Starfish Form Flag.
Albany, N. Y., Dispatch to New York
Times.
Director John M. Clarke, of the State
Museum, has just received from the
hillsides of Ulster County, near Saug
erties, 900 feet above tidewater, strata
of limestone formation which look like
the fields of immense American flags.
The stone is filled with small starfish
which were petrified, Professor Clarko
believes, during the Devonian period
millions of years ago. He says that
never before has there been found any
limestone so thickly covered with star
fish. Professor Clarke was notified of th
strange figures in the rocks and sent
men to Investigate, but he never an
ticipated the Importance.
