The card itself is unusually well balanced and on a high plane throughout. Prices have been named to be within the reach of everyone. The wind-up attraction will bring together two of the fastest welters in the Rocky Mountain region.

If the bout goes the limit, Webster will probably be named the victor. If there is a knockout, it ts likely that Conley will be in the upright post- tion. The main event ts scheduled for ten rounds and will be decided by the referee and two judges. Two speed merchants will clash in the semi-windup. Young Sol, of Pueblo, Colo., and Frankie West, of Denver, both newcomers to this city are expected to put up the classiest exhibition of the evening. Training notes show Sol to be in the better condition, but reports from the past find West with a far more formid- able knockout record. The result is difficult to forecast, especially in view of the fact that neither has been seen in action here before. Interest ts centered on the Jimmie ‘Woodhall—Ern: Ross crash-down, which will probably be plentifully sprinkled with gore before the ten rounds are over. That is, if the bout goes the limit. Remarks said to have been passed recently by Ross regarding the probably physi- cal condition of Mr. Woodhall follow- ing the bout, have greatly incensed the gentleman from the Hot Springs. He bas,asked that the. bout be placed on a winner take all basis, and is probable that his request will be granted. Woodhall ts always a dangerous fighter, an. old ring: master, and a clever boxer. Dope favors him tonight, but you never can tell, + The canvas will be roughly treat- ed when Young Winfry and Willle Freeman, don the regalia in the six round prelim, This battle is said to be of the grudge variety, and a knockout is a safe bet. It is un- tkely that this bout will go for more than two rounds. Gentlemen of color with a grudge to satisfy usual- ly work it off in a hurry.

TENNIG RULING OTIRG FEELING Lawrence Perry Sees Nothing but Rocks Ahead for Game. By LAWRENCE PERRY (Copyright 1924 The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Feb. 7.—It would seem that the United States Lawn Tennis Association in adopting the form of resdlution it did relative to playwriters has opened the way to nothing definite unless be it con- troversy, hard feelings and perhaps the entrance of lawyers into the sport. For most obviously the U. S. L. T. A., at its annual meeting, legis- lated to a degree rather than to a principle, no definite restriction against a tennis player writing of the sport in which he engages for money, has apparently been enacted hence the principle has not been as- sailed. It is the player alone who receives substantial compensation, pecuniary gain or emoluments who will be bar- red from writing for fhe ~ press. Evidently the player wh6 writes and receiver compensation that fs in- substantial or not too substantial will be let alone. In other words, it would seem that every case falling under the ‘general scope ot the resolutions to. be regarded ‘nd handled as an individual case. Does it require an especially keen sighted person to discern trouble lurking ahead in respect to this point. So far as William Tilden, the Tennis champion is concerned, it would appear that the resolution leaves his case open to all sorts of argument. It is not intended, says the resolution, to declare a person ineligible who has for years been engaged in the business of writing articles as his permanent and only business and whose income from such business is not subtantially affected by his playing tennis. Tilden probably can show that he has been for years engaged in writ- ing articles as h's permanent and only business but he may or may not be able to show that present in- come is not substantially affected by the fact that he is now writing as tennis champion. Does he derive more money from his articles now that he writes as champion than he received when he used to write as‘a player of sectional reputation and if so is this due to improvement in journalistic profi- clency in, the value of,,) articles or is it due to the increased value of his name’as a result of tennis prestige, The point may prove to be finer and more complex than appears on the face. ———$—$—<—— —___ Former Woman - Golf~ Official Passes Away CHICAGO, Feb. 7.—Mra.

The oldest continuous racing fix- ture in America is the King’s Plate for Ontario, or as it was originally instituted under Queen Victoria, the Queen's Plate. It has been run without a break since 1860, when her*late majesty first donated fifty guineas with the object of encour- aging the breeding of thoroughbreds in the province, Many years ago the sobriquet of “the Tigers” was bestowed upon the athletes of Princeton because of the orange and black stripes on their sweaters and stockings.

The next in tests do not come un- til May and June, when this coun- try will send representatives to com- pete in soccor football, polo, target shooting, shotgun matches and fencing, but chief interest from now on will be centered in the for- mation of the team of about 350 ath- letes which will seek to retain Uncle Sam‘@ supremacy in the track and field sports in July. The 1924 menace to this country's hitherto well established superiority in track—blue ribbon Olympic fea- tures—has been emphasized, tn the opinion of observers here, by the decisive triumph of Norway and Fin- land in the winter sports. Experts recognize that our Scandinavian rivals were aided by natural apti- tude and experience in the cold weather games, but they point out that the results demonstrate the thoroughness with which these cou: tries are going about their Olympic ecforts. This intensive preparation, amounting to more of a national program than in this country, is ex- pected to result in more bitter com- petitién for honors than ever be- fore. Finland, it is generally recog: nized, will be this country’s most formidable rival in track and field contests. Northern European qountries, which also includes Sweden and Esthonia has a wealth of promising material. The Finns, who captured nine first places in 1920 at Antwerp, as many as Uncle Sam's stars col- lected, will send an even stronger array to Paris, headed by Paavo Neumle, Willie Ritola, Hanne Ko- lehmaim and others whose prowess is almost as well known here as it is abroad. In Elvin Wide, Sweden has a dis- tance star early equal in calibre to Nurm!, the worl record holder at a mile, while Norway possesses in Charles Hoff one of the greatest all fround athletes of the present day. Hoff is the world’s polo vault record holder, besides being @ star jumper and runner, AMERICAN SKATERS IN OLYMPICS PROVE CREDIT TO THE U.S. BY HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Feb. 7.—(United Press)—American skaters did full credit to themselves and thelr coun- try In the opening of the Olympic games at Chamonix, even if they couldn't finish any higher than third place. To those who consider that noth- ing is worth while unless won, the American boys who a only 11 points against Finland's 48% and Norway's 39% points didn't do any- thing to crow about. The main point, however, is that the Americans did not alibt when they had no opportunity to crow. ‘They showed the European nations that at least fgur American athletes knew how to lose. x No one who had any facts at hand or whé gave it any study dared to hope that the American team would win the skating championship. Fin- land could not send a baseball team to this country that would have a chance to beat the New York Yi kees and skating is just as much a national and universal sport In the northern countries of Europe as baseball is in this country, In winning one of the four events on the program#the Americans can feel satisfied and the country has reason to be proud of Charles Jew- traw, who comes back as the Olym: pic 500 meter champion. ¥ The Americans certainly would have mage a better showing if they had been able to get.in some work before the skating contests started. Perhaps they could not have won the championship even if they had been able to workout dally before the games started, Several of the American skaters were violently {ll on the voyage across the Atlantic and when they arrived at ‘Chamonix they found a mild spell of weather ppon the resort, which made it impossible for’ the skaters to get out on the {ca. They were all short of work but the layoff did not handicap the Finns, the Norwegians, the Swedts and the French. Perhaps the rest did them good because they all had @ lot of work under their belt. ~ It will be recalled that the Ameri- can team had practically no work up to the time that it sailed. The weather was so mild that it was with difficulty that the American commit- tee succeeded in holding the trials from which the team members were selected. The trials at Saranac Lake had to be postponed twice and when it is warm enough up in th Adirondacks in December to thaw ice, it certainly is an unusual sea- son, The boys made no mention at Chamonix that they had been out of luck and it is quite certain that they will not complain when they return home. They certainly have no reason to feel aghamed and per- haps they will feel rather proud that they were able to do as well as they did. fees, There is little significance, in as far as it relates to the track and field games next July, in Finland's victory in the ekating matches, The winter sports will have been for- COLDS “Pape’s Cold Compound” Breaks a Cold Right Up Take two tableta every three hours until thtee doses are taken, The first dose always gives relief, The second and third doses com- pletely break up the oold.

Finland, since 1920, has been re- garded as the one nation that Amer- ica will have to beat tn Paris next summer and the conviction that this will be the case ts even stronger now, because it would seem that Finland is going to make a bid for the championship just as big and as elaborate as that of the United States. . The fact that America's only vic- tory in the skating contests was ‘won in the sprint race does not mean that it was a discreditable feat. It does not imply, as some have pointed out, that the Amer!- cans are. less sturdy, Jess strong and less game than some of the younger athletic nations, Tt does not mean that the Amert- can type of athlete is going back. It is clearly apparent that the Huro- pean athletes are improving by the application of American training and teaching methods. The Finns, particularly, are quick to see something of a lesson in an- other man’s game, They observe closely. They know their own de- fects and they know how to apply methods for correction. In 1928 it is quite possible that the Finn skaters will win the sprint Face because they saw how the Americans did it this year. One of the Finn coaches‘ saw how Jew- traw, Moore, Donovan and Bialis swung their arms when they took off from the line and he remarked that all the Finns needed to per- fect their game was that start. “In four years,” he said to an American, “we will be able to get away as fast as your boys do and then no one on the ice will be able to stop us.” The Finns are great men for en- durance and patience. These two qualities are shown in their run- nere as well as their skaters. , Per- haps the Finns will never have Olympic 100 meters Perhaps the United States will never again have @ 5,000 or 10,000 meter ‘The superiority of the Americans in the sprint races and their tnferi- ority at distance running is due al- most entirely to the difference in national temperaments. The American is nervous, spon- taneous and dynamic; the Finn is deliberate, patient ad» durable. The America has to do something and get it over with quickly; the Finn js content to start out and run a week if necessary. Americans are built and trained for speed; the Finns are cut out for endurance.

(Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Feb. 7.—In all that is being written concerning the late Woodrow Wilson, the writer has seen no reference to the fact that he was closely associated with foot- ball a coach some twenty-five years ago. In the short time he was at the Davidson college he played both baseball and football. Football in those days was the old association game, Matriculating in 1875 in the class of '79 at Princeton, he found that football was ruled by a council composed of representatives of the three upper classes. Prevented by the illness that had caused him to leave Davidson, from playing football at Princeton, his interest was none the less keen and his fertile ideals for improving the game soon won for him a place a secretary of the football council. He is credited with Playing a constructive part in eliminating the old association game in favor of Rugby in 1877 and 1879. Princeton first placed seven men on the rush line, an arrangement that has obtained ever since. Old Prince- ton footballers say that Wilson’ was a daily visitor to the field and the most active of all his associates in coaching. The professional coach was not to appear for some fifteen years. In 1889 while he was pro- fessor of history at Wesleyan, Wil- son waa associated with F. D. Beatty and S. V. Coffin in develop- ing @ memorable eleven at Middle- ton. It was Wilson who devised for the red and black a series of “rotation plays” as he called them in which plays followed one another without signal. Thanksgiving day morning in 1889 ‘Wesleyan performed the signal feat of defeating the University of Penn- sylvania team and then prepared for Yale. “Now fellows,” cried a coach as the team took the field to meet the blue, “let every man play hard to hold down the score.” “No, no,” shouted Wilson. Confronting the players with upraised hand, he said, “Let every man play hard to win.” ‘Then he launched into one of those fiery, before the game orations, that later came so widely into vogue. Wesleyan did not beat Yale, but she Played one of the best games she ever played against the Elis. The fall of 1890 Wilson returned to Princeton as incumbent of the chair of politics and jurisprudence and every day while the Tiger team of that year was preparing for its great game against Yale, Wilson, Captain Poe, Alex Moffatt, Duncan Edwards and Tracy Harris were working upon a new scheme of box- ing the tackle and breaking the interference. Wilson followed the team with cane under his arm, an English fashion affected by Ameri- can football officials and coaches, turned up trousers, 4 loose fitting pléated jacket, the red water-proof Wy ow. t KEEPING WELL— An NR Tablet (a vegetable eperient) faken at night will help keep you well, by toning and strengthening your dl- N?
