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- Thousands of John Ruskin Cigars g 9 smoked in this city every day. This I verifies our statement that John Rus- M kin is the BIGGEST and BEST sc« Cigar in the world.

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.

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 night for this season. Head Coach Howe has gone to his home in New Jersey and will devote the remainder 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. 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.) 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. vmX MARTIN MAY ' 19*4 PEACHTREE UPSTAIRS STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL UNREDEEMED PLEDGES y FOR SALE A ' ~" l) " I Ihl V WM ■ ■ Parks-fihambers-Hardwick | 37-79 PEACHTREE.

Sitting back in liis chair at baseball headquarters, behind the old oak desk and looking as like old times as though he hadn’t been away- at all, William Andrew talks baseball—and talks it in away that makes you see vis ions of pennants and tilings next year.
