Previously the Boxing commission had ruled that Dempsey was inelli gible until he agreed to fight Wil is, the commission's recognized challenger. Col.

SCHULZ HIRED AT SOUTH SIDE !School Board Hires Athletic Director; Principal Harris Transferred Fort Wayne, Aug., 11. —At a meeting of the city school board last night. Adolph "Gon.lwyt" Schults, forme University of Michigan football star, was employed as director of physical education in the South Side high school, and Nelson R Snyder, principal of the James Smart grade school, was named principal of South Side, to succeed Robert C. Harris, who was transferred to the James Smart rchool. An effort was made last spring to pace Schultz at the head of athletics in the South Side school, but opposition by the student body and scores of parents to the suspension of coach Lundy Welborn, defeated the plan, and Welborn was retained as fo.tball eoa-h. Since Spring, E. E. Perry has succeeded Mrs. R. Earl Peters as’a member of the school board, and Mr. perry lined up with those members who favored the appointment of Schultz. Welborn will be‘retained at South Side, as he is under contract. However, he will work under Schultz, who will be supervisor over all branches of athletics. After disposing of the appointment of Schultz, khe board tackled the question of the principalship of the South Side school. The decision of the board to transfer Harris to the James Smart s hoc! centered upon the suspension of South Side from the state high school atWetic association last spring. The'blame for the suspension was freely placed upon the shoulders of I Harris and. aft si Superintendent L. C. Ward had assured th? board that th" 1 school could be reinstated if Harris were removed from the principalship the board consented to his transfer. I South Side now has two football I coaches and no basketball coach. The board w 11 hire a basketball and base hall coach if the school is reinstated. Mr. Ward said.
