San Francisco', Deo. II. Sam Lanff ford of Boston and Jim Flynn, the only crspper whj has the courage to try I conclusions with the Boston piac., are both ' fit and ready for their 20 round bout in the Coliseum tonight. The for mer put In two weeks of strenuous toll at Wllletfs,, working up to and Includ ing; yesterday, while the latter perfected his physical fi In a training siege that lasted nearly a month. They are -In shape to put up the toughest aort of a battle anrf the Fana are looking them in anticipation of jl, mill that will fit tingly wind up the boxing season of Tlie local flht going public does not concede Mr. Flynn muoh of a chance to ' win .from , the negro, for but few are willing to bet on the white man. even at the tempting odds of 10 to 4, . Nrly . all the wagering on the fight so far has been on whether or not Jim will last 16 rounds, while It Is likely that the odds on the general result , will recede to 10 to 3 by the time the gladiators are ready to start their pat : Despite the top heavy odds against him and the almost universal Idea that he Is in for a lovely lacing. Flynn is till confident of , beating the husky blaek fellow. He said today: Always Aftsr Smoke. ; Til be right after Langfprd all the time and you can start betting against m? rlghi now if you think I won't force him to break ground for me all through the fight. I Intend to carry the slug ging to him, and if I don't make him milt, I'U be the . most surprised man In the pavilion. I'll get him sure if hell stand up and exchange punches iingford doesn't say much, other than that he expects to win on a knock out and promises to put the big punch over as early In the fight as possible. Considerable interest attaches Itself to the result, for If Langfonl wins, prospects are good for a mill for the middleweight championship between Ketchel and . the Boston colored man. Langford aspires to the middleweight title, but Flynn declares that he will knock all the championship aspirations out of the black boy tonight. Nn amall amount of Interest attaches to the preliminary go between .Jimmy Walsh and Monte Atteii. wmcn is smiea to go 15 rounds. , Walsh made quite an Impression here when he beat Jimmy Carroll so handily, and so well Is he thought of by the fans that he has been made a 6 to 10 favorite over A t tell. This bout will be started at 10 minutes 'past 9 and the bigger scrap pers are'lue to start slugging an hour later. crowleYIst hi new year marathon New York, Dec. 21. Jim Crowley, the former hod carrier, who carried the "Winged Fist"' of the Irish-American A. C. to victory in the Yonkers Marathon, is the first man to enter the big 26(4 mile race, which will be held under the auspices of the Mercury A. O. on the Empire City racetrack on New Tear's -day. Crowley Is confident he will show Just as well over the track as he showed over the roads on Thanksgiving day. The last four milca of the Marathon were, run on the Em pire City course, but the greater part of the race was over steep hllli and roads. The stiff going killed off many competitor before the track was reached. ..... Sammy Mellor of the Mercury A. C. and Bob Fowler of the Cambridge port . Gymnasium A. A., who finished second and third In the Thanksgiving day Marathon, also have aent In their entries for the New Year's contest, and Lewis Tewlnlma, the Carlisle Indian, who finished fourth, is- expected to fol low suit. Sidney Hatch and Albert Corev of Chicago also have entered the race and the westerners surely will make the other runners hustle to beat them. Corey was not hurt as severely In the Yonkers Marathon as was first thought. He now is as well as ever and has started training again. Entry blanks have been sent to 50 of the most prominent Marathon men .In the country ana it is expeciea mat a great field will face the. barrier on New near s uay.

Detroit, Mich, Dec. 21 The follow ers of the University of ; Michigan foot ball team are far from being satisfied or even pleased with the showing that their choices have made on the rldiron against the east slnae the adoption of the intersection games. It appears that they are looking around for some piaMsime excuse ana - oi course mo faculty at the western college lias come la for some strenuous roantlng. It Is claimed by some of the more rabid sup porters of the malse - and ' blue that the faculty, being antagonistic to ath lutlcs has1 made the work , of the atli letes so hard that It deters them from showing at their best on the lime-lined field. However this may be. the faculty has kept mum until lately. - ; - Recently Dean H. D. Hutohins of the law department made a statement. In It he states that the undergraduates made a mistaae wnen tney voted to leave me western college conference, and denies absolutely that the faculty makes the work of the athletes any harder than that 1 which ' the rest of the students have to do. He goes still further than this, and makes It quite evident from his remarks that he has his own ldeaa re garding the status of the scholastic standing -of eastern athletes. While he talks in the abstract,' It appears likely that he had in mind toe football players of either Syracuse or Pennsylvania, as these are the only eastern teams that Michigan met during the past season, Professor's Statement. The statement -with which he la cred ited follows: "I think that the student body will very soon see that they made a Dig mistaKo, wnen tney votea to leave the conference. The western schools are our natural rivals and the students in these schools have about the same standard of scholarship. I don't know what is reaulred of athletes in the eastern schools, but I understand tha in some of the institutions a man' physical ability Is all that Is re quired. We are foolish In trying to compete with such schools Th his talk tnat we are demanding too mucn from athletes is absurd. in fact is that 1 pay very little attention to them. We are here to teach, not to run a football team. I couldn't tell what mon in mv deDartmtmt Dlaved on the different teams, and all we ask of the players is that they pass the work requirec or otner stuaents. II tney aon tney win nave to get out. "And if arty athletic committee cam to me and asked for special dlsnensa tlons for an athlete in mv department I would pay absolutely no 'attention to the request. Athletes are an excrescence of student life, and I think they should he kept as such. Many students, by taking part In athletics and others, by taxing oi tnem too mucn, lose signt o: their school work, to their great detrl ment, out we treat tnem an aiuce. 9- CALENDAR OF SPORT FOR THE WEEK Monday Opening of Stanley automo bile show In Agricultural hall, L,on don: onenlno" of annual chess tourna ment between Harvard, Yale, Columbia and Princeton: . meeting of the Pacific Coast Baseball league at Han Fran cisco; Jimmy Walsh vs. Monte Attell, 18 rounds, vat San Francisco.

WISCONSIN ABOUT TO PROTEST SCHOMMER Chicago, Dec. il. Schommer. the TTnlversltv of Chicago baseball, football, track and basketball star, who will be a candidate again this season for the quintet. Is to be protestea oy wiron sin, according- to report from the Bad srer athletic camp, on the ground thai lie has already been active as a varsity man in this branch of sport for three years, and therefore should be oonsid ered ineligible. - . Stagg, the director of maroon tathlet les, has studied the question of Schom mer's eligibility, however, and is confl dent that under a certain rule passed by trie western conierence last June, It will be legal for Schommer to play. The rule reads that an athlete who has competed only in minor sports In or previous to 1906 Is still eligible for trams this winter and next snrlnar. Stagg'a interpretation, which would permit Schommer to Plav. Is based upon the fact that basketball, though it is regarded as a major sport now.- Was a minor one before 1806. whereas the Wis consin athletic folk Insist that Schom mer ought by right to come under the ruung in question Decause nasKetoaii now is a major sport in tne conference.

In my very extensive practice I have learned a few truths that are undeniably of Interest to eyery man. First of all, I find that the very serious and so-called "incurable" cases are due usually to NEG LECT and DELAY. Again. I know that many men suffer FOR TEARS and prac tically RUIN THEIR HEALTH FOREVER trying: to dose themselves with some patent' nostrum that never could cure. No TREAT MENT AT ALL Is what "cheap" treatment means In nine cases out of ten. The last state of the man is worse than the first. Just before you go a line further In this an nouncement, stop and ask yourself as to whether YOU are following in the foolish footsteps of the man who NEGLECTS him self? Are You trying- to cure yourself with nostrums? Are YOU looking- for treatment that will not cure? If you are, it is certain that you will regret it. It is NEVER TOO LATE tp get on the right path, but at the same time remember that you cannot . get there too soon. Tha best help In the world is none too good for you; you cannot get It too quickly.
