Morris Meets McFarland Here; Wolgast Battles Ritchie, and Mandot Faces Rivers on Coast By Left Houk. i WHILE no championship i.s at j stake tonight in the heavy weight mill at the Dixie | Athletic club, it should prove. an in teresting affair, nevertheless, ear] Morris will probably tind Jack Mc- Farland a much stronger opponent than Jack Keating, ami 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. MeFaiiand has a pretty fair record for , beginner He certainly looks like a comer and, according to his manug.f Johnny Oliver, who has managed many top-notehers, McFarland can hit as hard as any heavyweight in ' the world. Tonight’s fight means a he; p 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 liappen 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 forth.- winner to night, too. The club promoters have at ranged to put the victor on with Tom Kennedy, and the win ner of that mill with Jim Stewart. Tn fact, it i.s the plan of the dub owners to have a series of bouts which will eliminate all the “dead ones” and find tin real "'white hope.” Corking Semi-Windup Bout. The semi-windup tonight will prove every bit as interesting a- the big- show. Spider Britt and Meyer Pries, two small packages of dyna mite, will clash for the ’steenth time. Ami iny fan who has ever seen them mix it up knows that Ll: -re will be action galore. Mike Saul and Tommy Lavelle .ill go six rounds, while Young \ttetl and Kid Superior ate s< hed dle 1 to go four spasms, ft a important lightweight bat tles will be staged on the Pacific • oas’, today. Ad Wolgast, th ■ loughty lad from I'.idillac, will aieet Willie Ritchie Daly City in ■ l twenty-round contest, in which tin- lightweight championship hang, in the balance. The other bout will be between Jen Rivers, the seli.-.ational Mexi can, and Joe Mundo;. the pride of Dixieland. 1 look for Mandot to beat Rivers, while 1 expect Wolgast to lower the colors of Kitci.ic. If the "dope” is not upset, the champion and Mandot will meet ...ne time hat# in Jscembi >r early' in January of mxt year. The. Wolgast-Ritchie affair lai ;.roused a tremendous amount of enthusiasm in sporting- circl and it shotild be so, for Ritchie i- m. • of the .most promising lightweights in the land. A year ago lie -.as almost unknown outside of San Francisco, while today he is eon- • sidered a serious contendei .’or tiie 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 struggi . W.oigast was stricken with appen dicitis, and was forced to call off his go with the boxer from aeros-" the Atlantic. Ritchie Made Long Trip. On’the afternoon of November 2-i, Ritchie received a wire front Tom MeCarey, reading as follows; ill you meet Freddy Welsh tomorrow (Thanksgiving)? If acceptable, take the afternoon train for the South.” .Ritchie boarded tin 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 strangei -. but his ■ outage never deserted him for :■ moment.

"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. It hen the men shook hands, they I presented a great contrast. Welsh was well groomed, was smiling and evidently thought that he would win with case. Ritchie, on the other hand, ap peared tired and tare 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 he was carrying the tigb’ to the Welshman. Got Bout With Wolgast. Ritchie's showing against Welsh attracted widespread attention. He secured many good dates after ward and lu-t May he was selected as an opponent for Wolgast. The bout was only a four-round affair, ■nd was arranged in order to test tile ''Michigan Wildcat s” strength. No decision was given, but the majority of the critics at the ring side staled 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 rouhds. Ritchie is a product of the four-round route, while Wolgast has alway • 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 • v.« r. as the latter is one of the cl ;ssiest 133-pounders in the land and is just chock-full of grit and ambition, two essential qualifica tions for ring success. The M iiidot-Rivcrs bout should ale b a stirring affair. 'When these mm last met Mandot won. but Rivers is confident that he will reverse the tables this time. • FOOTBALL RULES HAVE JUSTIFIED THEMSELVES” NEW HAVEN. I’ONN.. Nov. 28.

His goals wt.e well planned ami kicked to pel'A ction. 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 tiie least. Never lias 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 losses and 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 ills 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 honors in punting, so did Brickley come up to all expectations in liis 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 tiie most conspicu ous man on the field. He scored a touchdown on a fast run around Yale’s left end. He kick; d two pretty field goals. He also made a brilliant run after intercepting a forward pass. His s condary de fen-e against both line rushing and open plays left little to lie desired. Brickley was in al! respects a fln i.'ln j player. By JAMES W. SCULLY. JR. (Yale's Line Coach.)
