Morris Meets McFarlandHere;
Wolgast Battles Ritchie, and
Mandot Faces Rivers on Coast
By Left Hook.
WHILE no championship is at
stake tonight in the heavy
weight mill at the Dixie
Athletic club, it should prove an in
teresting affair, nevertheless. Carl
Morris will probably find Jack Me
-I’arland a much stronger opponent
than Jack Keating, and th. bout
should go the ten scheduled rounds.
It will be a slugging affair, and
tiiat is the brand of sport local fistic
followers desire. McFarland has a
prettj fait record tor a beginner
Fie certainly looks like a comer,
olid, according to his
Johnny Oliver, who has managed
many top-notchers, McFarland can
lit as hard as any heavyweight in
rite world.
Tonight’s fight means a heap to
Morris. He still believes that he
111 capture the crown that rests
uneasily on the head of Jack
Johnson. But if McFarland should
happen to knock him out. or even
get the verdict, it means back to
tiie engine in Sapulpa.
And-there will be a keg of good
Atlanta money for the winner to
night. too. The club promoters
have arranged to put the victor on
with Tom Kennedy, and the win
ner of that mill with Jim Stewart.
In fact, it is the plan of the club
owners to hav< a scries of bouts
which will eliminate all the “dead
ones” and find the real “white
hope.”

The Wolgast-Ritviiie affair has
..roused a tremendous amount of
enthusiasm in sporting circles, and
It should be so, for Ritchie i- one
of the must promising light weights
in the land. A year ago he was
almost unknown outside of San
Francisco, while today he is con
sidered a serious contender for the
championship.
Ritchie got his first opportunity

title at Vernon, Cal.
On the very eve of the struggle.
Wolgast was stricken with appen

Ritchie Made Long Trip.
On the afternoon of November 24,
Ritchie received a wire from Tom
McCarey, reading as follows: “\\ ill
you meet Freddy Welsh tomorrow
(Thanksgiving)? If acceptable,
take the afternoon train for the
South.”
Ritchie boarded the train for the
South, rode 500 miles, and took
breakfast in a Los Angeles case.
Willie was unheralded and was
unattended by a manager or a pal.
He was among strangers, but his

to the arena at Vernon, where he
introduced himself to McCarey.
The veteran promoter thought
that Ritehie was twenty-six or
twenty-seven years of age 'when he
sent him his wire, and was taken
b> surprise at his youthful appear
ance.
“How old are you?” he asked.
“Never mind; I can tight,” re
sponded Ritchie.

was well groomed, was smiling and
evidently thought that he would
win with ease.
Ritehie. on the other hand, ap
peared tired and care worn. The
long train ride had, of course, done
him no good, while he had not
trained a day for the contest. Re
gardless of this handicap, lie gave
Welsh a stirring battle for twenty
rounds, and in the latter part ot
the bout he was carrying the light
to the Welshman.
Got Bout With Wolgast.
Ritchie’s showing against W elsh
attracted widespread attention. He
secured many’ good dates after
ward and last .May he was selected
as an opponent for Wolgast. The
bout was only a four-round affair,
and was arranged in order to test
the “Michigan Wildcat’s” strength.
No decision was given, but the
majority’ of the critics at the ring
side stated that Ritchie had the
be tter of the mixing. He kept after
ids opponent from the tap of the
gong and gave him a terrific beat
l ing.
That was seven months ago when
Ad was just regaining his strength
I after being operated upon. The
distance of the bout was also four
rounds. Ritchie is a product of the
four-round route, while Wolgast
has always done his best work in
I twenty-round contests.
If Wolgast is at his best, he

also b a stirring affair. When

reverse the tables this time.

“The ruies of 1912 have produced a

“Pa advocating: the change in the

on the score board.
“The rules have justified themselves
in this respect and have produced a
game that pleases the public, the play

of chances for exhibitions of individual

EXPERTS PRAISE THE WORK OF HARVARD WONDER
BRICKLEY IS 1912 FOOTBALL KING
Percy Haughton Says That
Brickley Is Greatest Drop
Kicker in the Country.
BRICKLEY. tiie
z mighty Harvard football star,
lias been crowned king of the
ollege gridiron players by the foot
ball experts and followers of the
country. The Everett, Mass., boy
has proved that he is without a
peer.
Brickley is a sophomore at Har
vard and as a result will be with
the team for two more years. He
is improving and should be
even better in 1913 than he Is now,
if sueli a thing is possible. Fol
lowing are statements by some of
the leading football authorities in
the country, who saw the Harvard-
Yale game, in ■which they give their
opinion of Charley’ the Great:
By PERCY HAUGHTON.
(Harvard Football Coach.)
Charlie Brickley maintained bls
reputation as the best drop-kicker
in the country, and to this he has
added that of being an exceptional
ly clever halfback. Not only did
he make more punts, but he made
more ground than any man on
either team.
By MAURICE B. “LEFTY” FLYNN.
(Yale’s Star Fullback.)
Charley Brickley is one of the
grandest football players who ever
donned armor. He vindicated all
the praises that have been sung
over him. He is the most versatile

YALE MUST TAKE ON
NEW COACHING SYSTEM
NEW HAVEN. Nov. 28.—Plans for a
radical change in Yale’s football coach
ing system will be taken up by’ the
new athletic committee during the
winter, but it is impossible to forecast
its action. Most of the older football
alumni wish a graduate coach of ex
perience appointed for a series of years,
demanding that a progressive system
be established, and pointing out that
Yale lias won from Harvard and
Princeton only once the past four years.
i Till this year tiie question would have
been settled surely by the football cap
tain for next year. A new athletic
constitution was adopted the past
spring turning matters of athletic pol
icy to the new committee which was
then chosen and which lias organized
this fall for action. The undergrad
uate members of the committee, in
cluding the captains and managers of
the four major sports teams, are a ma

Former Exeter Player Made
Good From the Start
With Crimson.
His goals were well planned and
kicked to perfection.
By PAUL WITHINGTON.
(Assistant Graduate Treasurer Har
vard Athletic Association.)
Brickley played the greatest
game of his career and demonstrat
ed to the satisfaction of all his
friends that the dastardly attack
published Friday by the Boston
press and purporting to come from
a former Exeter coach was entirely
untrue, to say the least. Never
has Brickley shown to better ad
vantage and bls playing Saturday
was more skillful and harder than
at any time this year. He played
errorless ball rind he was in every
play throughout the game. Two
drop goals, a touchdown, two in
tercepted forward passes ami two
long runs in a Harvard-Yale game
are enough for any player to be
proud of, but Brickley’ added to this
splendid defense tackling, good
’ judgment and speed in all his line
plunging.
By DR. ARTHUR E. BRIDES.
(Ones Famous Yale Tackle.)
Brickley, because of his wonder
ful kicking and line plunging, de
serves a place in football fame sec
ond to none.
By ROBERT T. FISHER.
(Captain of Harvard in 1911.)
Just as Felton upheld the honors
in punting, so did Brickley- come up
to all expectations in his drop
kicking. Two successful tries out
of four in a Harvard and Yale con
test is a record which Brickley may
well be proud of. But Brickley's
kicking was only one of his many
good points which he displayed in
the game.
By HENRY H. HOBBS.
(Former Yale Tackle.)
Brickley was the most conspicu
ous man on the field. He scored a
touchdown on a fast run around
Yale’s left end. He kicked two
pretty field goals. He also made a
brilliant run after intercepting a
forward pass. His secondary de
fense against both line rushing ami
open plays left little,to be desired.
Brickley was in all respects a fin
ished player.
By JAMES W. SCULLY. JR.
(Yale’s Line Coach.)
Brickley played a wonderful gulm
and was directly responsible for
fourteen of the twenty points
scored. His drop kicking was th-'
best ever seen in a Yale-Harvard
game and hi. general headwork on
the defense and coolness stamp him
as being a great football player.
He ran well with the ball, hitting
the line with great drvles, and
showing some great form in end
running. In fact, the playing of
the whole Harvard backfield offen
sively and defensively could hardly
be improved.
Bv HAMILTON FISH. JR.
(Former Harvard Tackle.)
In Brickley Harvard has not only
a great back, but a splendid drop
kicker who can get the ball away
quicker ami surer than any one who
has played in the game for a long
while.

Any sore that is obstinate or slow in healing should cause suspicion and
put the sufferer on guard. Many an ulcer which could have been cured if
it had been properly treated, in time, has been allowed to remain open un
til it became infected with some degenerate poison from the outside which
made it a malignant, eating sore. Most old sores come from an impure
and polluted condition of the blood and can be healed if the circulation is
cleansed and purified of the predisposing cause. To attempt to cure a
chronic ulcer with salves, washes, lotions, etc. is trifling with what may
become a serious condition. S. S. S. heals chronic ulcers in a perfectlv
natural way. It goes down into the blood and removes the impurities and
matters whiqh are the means of keeping the
place open; then the sore is bound to heal. Not only
does S. S. S. cleanse the circulation but it restores its
healing powers, and aids in promoting the necessary
qualities for good health. S.' S. S. builds new flesh
S.S.S.

and makes a permanent cure. Book on Sores and Ulcers and medical ad
