ECKLUND TRAIIJGF0R BROWN GO
Wyoming Grappler Expects to Win but Is Preparing for a
Long Tough Match Friday Night. -
Clarence Ecklund Is now up at Xuray
Kan. doing his training for the .Pet
Brown match Friday night at the audl-
orium. In a letter Sunday the Wyoming
boy took occasion to pais Ufa good word
. along and wants Houuton fans and friends
to know that he will be .here In time to
put on the finishing touches - for the
greatest mat battle lie ever entered.
. And Ecklund thinks he will win. Here
to a line from his letter. "Tell the wrestling-
fans in Houston that I am. training
earnestly for my nmtch with Pet Brown
and that I honestly believe that I win be
the winner. But I expect It to be a long
tough match."
. Ecklund Is In the Kansas town for a
while since he found muoh 'wrestling tal-
' ent there. He has a bunch of training
partners of all weights and Is working
dailv. In Houston he noticed on his last
visit that many of his wrestling friends (
Baa gone to war witn otnera reaay ui
leave. For that reason he did not come
On to begin his training here.
Similar reports come from Taylor.
Brown will not be caught again out Of
condition. He knows that he wUl have
the hardest match of his career. He is
- coming prepared. Unless he wins Friday
night he will be about done as a drawing
card in Houston. Houston has been rather
I good to Brown. He will do all in his
power to return the compliment Friday
night.
Every Indication is that it will be along
match. The general public expects It.
Both wrestler are preparing for it. It to
ot likely that Brown will rush .matters In.
' the first minutes. He tried that the
ether time on Ecklund and he roost the
first match oTnls career: If thejtwo men
go in to win. as they will it may take
two hours or more to get the decision
With this prospect in view the QUlf

frellminaries. The match will begin at
:3u o'clock. - It will be over when one
man has taken- two falls as It is to be
a finish match.
Ecklund in his' letter styles the match.
a contest for the light heavyweight cham-
pionship of the world. It is all that
He has never been thrown at 170 pounds.
Brown has lost but once and that to
Ecklund. Recently Brown has taken
two matches from John Berg who
claimed the light heavy title.
The demand for tickets continues with
every Indication that a new attendance
record is to be set. When thft Taylor
delegation gets there there will be lit-
tle left In the choice sections of the au
ditorium. Already upwards of (100
worth of tickets have been sold. -- All this
week the demand will be heavy. When
doors of the auditorium are opened Fri-
day night it may' be that only the less
doslrable seats will be available.
Reservations are being made. as. they
reach headquarters of the Oulf Coast
club room 1. SOZVk Main street. At tost
all mail ardors have been tilled and the
tickets mailed in return. The malls
Monday are sure to bring many other
calls. These will be filled as they are
received.
A departure from past practices to
that women guests will have to pay to
see this match. On account of the heavy
demand this was made necessary. In
addition there will be no free list.
Until late Friday afternoon tickets enn
be bought at room S 602 Vi Main street
and at the C. L. Bering store. 1009 Capi-

Warren "Blp' CoUlns the redoubtable
halfback of the Aggie eleven to out of
tho game with no possibU)ty of Settlns;
hack. .vvl:..;. .i.-y'..'is?- A;-
Just after the-Texas game last Tues-
day Collins disappeared from school and
no one at College Station feeema to know
what has become of him. Th faculty has
looked into the matter and have dropped
his name from the rolls of the college .
This to the vital point for even if the
star punter should turn up new he couid
not be re-entered In the school except
by special faculty action. This can not
be had without'the presence of President
Btosell and to add to the complexity of
the situation President- Btesell has toft
to meet the Investigating' committee' at
StephenvlUe and will be away at least a
week. ' ' - ''' '.
.This seems definitely to dispose or Mr.
Collins as a factor in the Owl-Aggie
Thanksgiving Day clash for the Bute
title. ' .- "

In shape to do the punting and they are
being putt through a stiff practice. Just
which one will be called on to try to equal
the feats 'of - their former teammata has
not vet been decided. i :-'
: Collins to admittedly the greatest
punter that a Texas team has shown tms
season and .his toe work was depended
on by .tho Aggie followers to give them
the. advantage over the Rtee eleven. The
game Thursday will give either the Owls
or the. Aggies an ucclouded title to the
.State-championship a goal that has not
been reached bya -Texas team ror some
years.. Collins has' been the mainstay of
his team and his absence from the cham-
pionship game will upset all calculations.
. The news of Collins' diaanDearance
reached Houston . late Sunday night by
telepnone anq lew details couia ee
learned.' He had simply disappeared.' and
no one knew the' reason whv. ' ' '
At any rate the faculty 'action puts'

ball dope whether the disappearance be
a tragedy or a farce. f
