Morris Meets McFarland Here; Wolgast Battles Ritchie, and Mandot Faces Rivers .on Coast By Lett Hook. WHILE no championship i« at stake tonight in the heavy weight mill at the Dixie Athletic club, it should pr ove ; n in foresting affair, "nevertheless. ('ail Morris will probably flnq Jack .Mc- Farland a much stronger - opponent than Jack Keating, and the bout should go the ten scheduled rounds. It will be a slugging affair, ami that is tire brand of sport local fistic followers desire. McFarland lias a pretty fair record for a beginirc. He certainly looks like a eon,. ' and, according to his manager Johnny Oliver, who Im, maraged many top-notchers, MeFarlatui can lit as hard as any heavyweight in the world. Tonight’s fight means a heap to Morris. He still believes that he will capture the crown that re.as so uneasily on the head of Jack lohnson. But if McFarland should happen to knock him out, or even get the verdict, it means back to the engine in Sapulpa. And there will be a keg of good Atlanta money for tin winne: to night, too. The club promoters have arranged to put tin- victor on with Tom Kennedy, and the win ner of that mill with Jim Stewart. Tn fact, it is the plan of the club owners to have a series of limits which will eliminate all the “dead ones" and find the real "white liope." Corking Semi-Windup Bout. The semi-windup tonight will prove every bit as interesting a.- the big show. Spider Britt and Meyer Fries, two small packages of dyna mite, will clash for I'm.- ’steenth time.

The Wolgast-Rii'iii. affair . roused a tremendous amount of enthusiasm in sporting circle,, and it. should be so, for Ritclib i op. of the most promising lightweights in the land. A year ago lie . almost unknown outside of Sun Francisco, while today lie is con sidered a serious contender for the cbJuhpionship. Ritchie got ni.- first opportunity to win fame in the squared arena on last Thanksgiving day. Freddy Welsh, the present English light weight champion, was scheduled to meet Wolgast in a battle for the title at Vernon. Cal, On the very eve of the struggle, Wolgast was stricken with appen dicitis, was forced to call off his go with the boxer from acros the Atlantic. Ritchie Made Long Trip. On the afternoon of November -4, Ritchie received a wire from Tom McCarey. reading as follows: “Will you meet Freddy Welsh tomorrow < Thanksgiving) ? If acceptable, take the afternoon train for the South.’’ Ritchie boarded th, train for the South, rode 500 miles, and took breakfast in a Los Angeles case.

"How old are you?" he asked Never mind; I can tight.," re spunded Ritchie. Willie was engaged to box Welsh ■md he donned ring togs immediate- . as the "fans" were already gathered around tile ringside and '■■'•r> eager for hostilities to begin. " hen the men shook hands, they I l resented a great contrast. Welsh was well groomed, was smiling and evidently thought that he would iii with ease, Ritchie, on the other hand, ap pealed 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, he gave Welsh a stirring battle for twenty rounds, and in the latter part of the bout lie was carrying the tigli’ to the Welshman. Got Bout With Wolgast. Ritchie's showing against Welsh attracted widespread attention. Ho secured many good dates after ward and last May he was selected .s an opponent for Wolgast. Tho 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 ill'.' bt tter of the mixing. He kept afle’’" his opponent from the tap of the gong and gave him a terriliy beat ing. Tb it was seven months ago when Ad was just regaining his strength after being op.-rated upon. The distayc... of the bout was also four round - . Ritchie is a product of the four-round route, while Wolgast has always done his best work in twenty-round c-mtests. If Wolgast is at his best, he -could defeat Ritchie today. He will hale to be at bis best, how ever. as the latter is one of the ■ I ussiest 133-i;ounders in the land and is just chbck-fuil of grit rind ambition, two essential qualifica tions for ring success.

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 suj- the least. Never has Brickley shown to better ad vantage and his playing Saturday was more skillful and harder than at any time this year. He played errorless ball and h*’ was in every play throughout the game. Two drop goals, a touchdown, two in tercepted forward passes and two long runs in a Harvard-Yale game are enough for any player to be projtd of, but Brickley added to this splendid defense tackling, good judgment and speed in all his line plunging. By DR. ARTHUR E. BRIDES. (Once 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.) Ju, t as Felton upheld the honors in punting, so did Brickley come up to all expectations in his drop kicking. Two successful tries mil of four in a Harvard mid Yal con test is a record which Bi'lckley may well be proud of. But Bfickley’s kicking was only one of his many good points which he displayed in the game. By HENRY H. HOBBS. (Former Yale Tackle.) Htfekley was the most conspicu ous man on the field. He scored it touchdown on a fast run around Yale’s, left end. He kicked two pretty Held goals. He also made :t brilliant run after intercept lug a forward pass.
