That ftvltt made a great mistake when he fouitht Nelson is true.

I don't ttiinK a second meeting would have reversed the decision of that battle, for Britt could not hit hard enough to stop the Dane. In a 20-rounfl fight, Britt, because of his shift! nrpp. might again get a decision, but Its doubtful.

Euecne Football Team Took on Fire Pounds to Eacli Man. rxiVERSlTY OF OREGON'. Kucene. Or., Jan. 12. (Special. Trainer Hayward yesterday gave out the daily weight rec- orcla ot tho 6 men who formed the firnt team football squad for the season 6f 6. The figures dlacioee that without exception every one of the 16 men showed a positive gain in wcicht at the end ot the season, a surprising fact, considering that last Kail was a hard football season and Coach Besdek put his squad through. heavy practice almost up to Thanksglv-i Inp, day. when training: ceased. The aggregate weight of the aquad at the opening o the year was 2522 pounds, and Juat bofor the Multnomah game, which marked the end of football, the same squad of 16 weighed 2605 pounds, which represents an average gain of five pounds per man. In tho latter part ot October, when tho prActice work was most severe, some of the squad members lost weight for a time, but the trainer lightened, the work according to the reeds ot each, man ana no one waa over-trained The weight records show that 'Training is harder on the light players than on tUe heavy men, for giants like Mouiicn, Scott and McKlnney sained steadily. while the llghtweichts.

Kerrigan, who went to Athens, reece. with the American track team nd who was recently appointed one of ie National Committee on Sports for the Jamestown Exposition, has under Hislderfttfon a plan for the organization ' an All-Northwest track " team to send ' Jamestown during the coming Summer. The plan is to send ten or 13 or the best athletes In the Pacific- Northwest. With Oregon. Washington.

'riia txpense of ouch ft- move would be heavy and the funds would nave to be raised by popular subscription largely. Arrangements would have to be perfected at Jamestown and- with. the A. A. TJ. Through a local quarrel between the Irish-American and the New York Ath- letlc Clubii, a law was passed prohibiting any athlete from representing both a col lege and a club. " This law was very un- juet, especially to the . "West where the clubs are compelled to draw on the col leges for their men and It will prnvi disastrous to amateur athletics all oe the country if it is rigidly enforced. Thi: would prevent eiicn crack athletes as Dan Kelly from might keep track team. representing any club and him ofT tho AU-Northwejt Bert Kerrigan to of the opinion that the law, while it may keep college men off the club teams, could not bo used to prevent the college man from represent- ins Ms state at the Exposition. An Ait Xorthwest team, would be no orBaniw tion in one sense -of the word and each. man conld repraaent his collee Indi vidually and still be counted as a mem ber of the Northwest track team.

If any, who could cotnpet with such men aa Kelly. Smith son and JklcJ-CInney. The action of Trainer Waltei Christie of the University of California !n doing everything possible to discredit the great record of Xan Kelly, of Oregon lias aroused a, feeling of bitterness amotii the Oregon students against the Southern University. Tt is probable that Christie Is Just a little Jealous of Trainer "Bl Hayward who was formerly his asslstai II ttie Callfornlans had shown the proper spirit they would have been glad to see the world's record, for the 100-ya.nl aprlnt sro to a ooaat man.

Should Kelly and Snedigar meet during the coming year, tha Berkeley students fill probably discover that their Idol re sembles an ice wagon bee I do Kelly in the cprinte. Those who have seen both men perform say there is no comparison w tween them. Gordon Moores Is aa fast. if not speedier, than Snedlgar.

Board of Directors of Muitnoman Club Contradicts Rumor 1h.at Football Relations With Uni versity Will Be Severed. Tt has been reported that Multnomah Club and the University of Oregon were on the point ot severing athletic relations, dropping the annual Thankf-givine day football game. On a thorough ami careful investigation this report has been round to be Molly without foundation, So far as t he clubmen a re concerned . the financial part could he easily a r- ranffed, but no team, with the exception of Seattle Athletic Club, could bs swumI that could even make a showing against them. The suggestion that Whitman Col- lege cr pome other inland college team i? secured to fill the date In ridiculed by thn clubmen. "While the . Wahlnsrton State Colleg. made a claim to the Jorthwec Championship, the claim Va not regard ed rlo!tly. And every football authority muAt know that Oregon Is the only col -leve In the Nortlrweet that .! 1 rl or fver can make a showing against Multnomah. The board of directors at their regular meeting last night vehemently denied that an- mit-h move had ever heen merit lone I to them. One member of tho board o Id mat tile cluo stood ready to sign a on- tract with Oregon for the next five an nual Thankttgiving tranien and hi gestiort was heartily adopted bv the others present.

Rfloons from tlio university arc mat nothing was known of such a move until the Btory came fro m Portland that JWIult no mail would cancel the same with Ore- gon and substitute Whitman College. T'w feeling at Eupene is very friendly for Multnomah since the srenerons treatment accorded the collcftians liere Thankast"liiie day, and there is no desire on the part or. students or acuity to even con i eg t Ion of cancellin he annual same with the clubmen.
