Morris Meets McFarland Here;
Wolgast Battles Ritchie, and
Mandot Faces Rivers on Coast
By Left Hook.
WHILE no championship j 8 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 Mc-
Farland a much stronger opponent
than Jack Keating, and the bout
should go the ten scheduled rounds.
It will be a slugging affair, and
that is the brand of sport local fistic
followers desire. McFarland has a
pretty fair record for a beginner.
He certainly looks like a comer,
and, according to his
Johnny Oliver, who has managed
many top-notchers, McFarland can
hit 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 rests
so 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
the 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, ft is the plan of the club
owners to have a series of bouts
which will eliminate all the "dead
ones” and find the real “white
hope.”
Corking Semi-Windup Bout,
The seml-wtndup tonight will
prove every bit as Interesting as the
big show., Spider Britt and Meyer
Pries, two small packages of dyna
mite, will clash for the 'steenth
time. And any fan who has ever
seen them mix it up knows that
there will be action galore.
Mike Saul and Tommy Lavelle
will go six rounds, while Young
Attell and Kid Superior arc sched
uled to go four spasms.

WO Important lightweight bat
tles will be staged on the Pacific
coast today. Ad Wolgast, the
doughty lad from Cadillac, will
meet Willie Ritchie at Daly City in
a twenty-round contest. In which
the lightweight championship hangs
in the balance.
The other bout will be between
Joe Rivers, the sensational Mexi
can. and Joe Mandot, the pride: of
Dixieland. I look for Mandot to
beat Rivers, while I expect Wolgast
to lower the colors of Ritchie.
, If the "dope” Is not upset, the
champion and Mandot will meet
some time late in December or
early in January of next year.
The Wolgast -Ritchie affair has
aroused a tremendous amount of
enthusiasm In sporting circles, and
it should be so, for Ritchie is one
of the most promising lightweights
in the land. A year ago he was
almost unknown outside of San
Francisco, while today he is con
sidered a serious contender for tho
championship.
Ritchie got his 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. and was forced to call oft
his go with the boxer from across
the Atlantic.
Ritchie Made Long Trip.
On the afternoon of November 24,
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 the train for the
South, rode 800 miles, ami took
breakfast in a Los Angeles case.
Wiliie was unheralded and was
unattended by a manager or a pal.
He was among strangers, but his
courage never deserted him for a
moment. He finally secured a cou-

Introduced himself to McCarey.
The veteran promoter thought
that Ritchie was twenty-six or
twenty-seven years of age when he
sent him his wire, and was taken
by surprise at his youthful appear
ance.
"How old are you?” he asked.
"Never mind; I can fight,” re
sponded Ritchie.
Willie was engaged to box Welsh
and he donned ring togs immediate
ly , as the "fans” were already
gathered around the ringside and
were eager for hostilities to begin.
VV hen the men shook hands, they
presented a great contrast. Welsh
was well groomed, was smiling and
evidently thought that he would
win with ease.
Ritchie, on the other hand, ap
peared tired and care worn. Tho
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 he was carrying the light
to the Welshman.
Got Bout With Wolgast.
Ritchie’s showing against Welsh
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
better of the mixing. He kept after
his opponent from the tap of the
gong and gave him a terrific beat
ing.
That was seven months ago when
Ad was just regaining his strength
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
twenty-round contests.
If Wolgast is at his best, he
should defeat Ritchie, today. He
will have to be at his best, how
ever, as the latter is one of the
classiest 133-pounders in the land
and is just chock-full of grtt and
ambition, two essential qualifica
tions for ring success.
The Mandot-Rivers bout should
also be a stirring affair. When
these men last met Mandot won,
but Rivers is confident that he will
reverse the tables this time.
“FOOTBALL RULES HAVE
JUSTIFIED THEMSELVES”
NEW HAVEN, CONN., Nov. 28.
Discussing the results of the football
season, Walter Camp in The Yale News
today said:
"The rules of 1912 have produced a
game that gives every opportunity for
developing an all-around attack, at the
same time promising positive relations
in the shape of scores for that attack.
“In advocating the change in the
rules, the Idea expressed was if a team
be better than another let the rules so
stand as to show this on the field and
on the score board.
"The rules have justified themselves
in this respect and have produced a
game that pleases the public, the play
ers and so far as may be those who
formerly criticised, for it gives an hour
of exciting, strenuous play, with plenty
of chances for exhibitions of individual
skill and team work of a high order,
and finally thus far the casualties have
been les than for some seasons.”
AL PALZER WILL MEET
FLYNN-M’CARTHY WINNER
LOS ANGELES. Nov. 28.—Promoter
McCarey, of the Pacific Athletic club,
today closed negotiations with Tom
O’Rouke, manager of Al Palzer, and
matched the big white hope with the
winner of the Flynn-McCarthy go. the
battle to be staged at Vernon on New
Year’s day.
McCarey believes the winner of this
fight will be the recognized heavy
weight champion of the world, and he
will present a handsome diamond stud
ded championship belt to the winner.

Charlie Brickley maintained his
reputation as the best drop-kicker
in the country, and to this he has
added that of being an exceptional

he make more punts, but he made
more ground than nny man on
either team.

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 i
its action. Most of the older football I
alumni wish a graduate coach of ex- ■
perii-nce appointed for a series of years
demanding that a progressive system
be established, and pointing out. that
Yale has won from Harvard and
Princeton only once the past four y nrs.
Till this year the 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 has organized
this fall for action. The undergrad
uate inembef.i of the committee, in- |
eluding the captains and managers of ;
the four major sports teams, arc a ma- '
jority on the committee.
Yale’s football coaching headquar
ters at the Hotel Taft were closed last

Howe has gone to his home in New

of this school year to A’. M. C. A. work.
He may study law later.

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 ills
friends that the dastardly attack
published Friday by the Boston
press and purporting to come frbm
a former Exeter coach was entirely
untrue, to say 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 he was In every
play throughout the game. Two
drop goals, a touchdown, two in
tercepted forward passes and two
long runs in a Harvnrd-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 liis line
plunging.

(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.)
Just as Felton upheld the honot.<
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 Brinkley's
kicking was only one of ills many
good points which lie displayed In
the game.
By HENRY H. HOBBS.
(Former Yale Tackle.)
Brickley was the most e«i -
ous man on tile 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. Bis second - de
fense against both line rushing and
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 wondeift: game
and was directly responsible for
fourteen of the twenty points
scored. His drop kicking was the
best ever seen in a Yale-Harvard
game and his 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 drvies, and
showing some great form in end
running. In fact, the playing of
tin- whole Harvard backfield offen
sively and defensively could liuuly
be improved.
Bv HAMILTON FISH, J fl.
(Former Harvard Tackle.)
Tn Brickley Harvard lias not only
a great back, but a splendid drop
kicker who can get the ball away
quicker and su’er than any one w ho
has played in the game for a long
while.

Bill Smith Is Bubbling Over

SOME ball club next year, some

the story of next year’s team reads
liks this:
* ♦ e
, r ’LL pick my infield from Agler,

Dayton), Wallace Smith and a man
to come from the big leagues. You
know Agler. They're crazy over
him in the International league yet,
and I could have sold him to Jersey
City for a big price. Keating was
good in the Virginia league last
year, and so was Dobard. They
will make a big bid for the short
stop job. And then, as I said, there
is another one coming.

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 mav
become a setious condition. S. S. S. heals chronic ulcers in a perfectly
natural way. It goes down into the blood and removes the impurities and
morbid matters which are the means of keeping the
place open; then the sore is bound to heal. Not onlv
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
