The handful of brave spectators cuddled by a bon fine under the bleachers. Director Williams proposed to Coach Stewart of Nebraska that the meet he postponed or called off, but Stewart insisted that it go on, and on it went,* Coach Stewart did, however, agree to count only first and second places.“Owen and Werner outsplashed the Cyclones in the 100-yard dash; the runners nearly obscured the Cyclone runners, w ho were handicapped by the splatteringmoisture, Owen and Werner were worked hard by the Oornhuskfr coach to drown Ames in the meet.

Jt§;.:’’Sometimes a setback in a fighter’s career is one of the best things that cap happen. Many of the greatest fighters who have reached the top of the ladder have met with Just such a reverse as Richie Mitchell bumped into when he was stopped by Benny Leonard. Even I Leonard, who is considered one of the greatest lightweights in the country today and who lowered Mitchell’s colors, was himself knocked out twice before he began to climb to the top rung of thelightweight ladder.“Richie Mitchell had been coming along at a very rapid pace, so fast that he wai considered almost a sure winner overFreddie Welsh, the world's champion, in a contest of nothing less than twenty rounds. His progress in the fistic line was rapid and it was deserved, for he had beaten such boys as Johnny Kllbune* Joe Rivers, Ad Wolgaet, Freddie Welsh and Joe Welling. Of course, they are all news-paper decisions, but they were deserved victories just the same. Mitchell was so 1 confident of his position that he claimed the American lightweight title and deposited $6,000 to back up his claim and to go as a side bet for a championship fight with anyone in the country.“Charlie White, the : Chicago light weight star, took exception to the claim, but St the same time Charlie did not cover the money which Mitchell had up and therefore left the Milwaukee boy in a very strong position. By defeating Mitchell in a decisive manner. Leonard had a right to claim the American titled and he really had firt claim now to a championship match with Freddy Welsh.
