He should play great ball next

under Coach Heisman. He is pick

team behind him should be one of

with any result, graduates, but may
be persuaded to return and help
pull Tech out of the hole which she
has been in for the past three years.
He is a corking player, and with a
few more pounds of good muscle
he would be about the hardest man
in the South to stop. He is also a
regular fiend when it comes to
breaking up interference, and a
burd tackler.
• Means will not graduate, but his
returning is extremely doubtful. If
this man should decide not to come
back it would be a hard Job to get
a man to fill the hefty guard’s
shoes.
These are the only men whom
Tech will lose by graduation, but.
of course, there is nearly always a
loss or two which is not counted
on. and. figuring on the old men as
a nucleus, Tech win be in just
about the same fix as it was this
fall.
There were no particularly bright
stars on the scrub team this year,
but tlie whole bunch were gritty to
the core, fought every inch of
ground and knew the game extra
well. With a year under Coach
Heisman they should be" in pretty
good shape for'their debut.
CHANCE AND FARRELL
START FOR CHICAGO;
TO CLOSE DEAL SOON
KENOSHA. WIS., Dec. 16.—Paekey -Mc-
Farland and Eddie Murphy will meet here
tonight in a ten-round no decision fight.
Both men today were in excellent con
dition and both confident. The contest
has aroused deep interest among fight
fans here. Experts say Paikey is the
clever fighter and assert that Murphy has
the harder kick.
"I never felt better on the eve of a
fight," said McFarland today. Murphy is
clever and he hits hard, but I beat hint
once before and I can do it again."
Murphy is also reflecting on their bat
tle a year ago.
"McFarland beat me by a lucky punch
once before,” said Eddie. "Since then 1
have studied his style and have a new
defense. I am going after him from the
tap of the gong."
DUBUC. SORE ON NAVIN,
SAYS HE WILL QUIT HIM
DETROIT. Dec. 16.—President Frank

Pitcher Duhuc has joined the holdout
brigade. The French Canadian is very
much 9ngered at certain criticisms di
rected toward him by the Detroit presi
dent.
He has written friends here that he
is through with the Tigers. Duhuc last
year was one of Hugh Jennings’ very few
good pitchers. He was one of the sensa
tions of the season.
LAFAYETTE TEAM CUTS
OUT TRIP INTO SOUTH

to drop the spring trip of the baseball

early practice playing Southern college
teams. The trip has never been a money
maker, and in addition to that the un
favorable weather of the past several

OUR OFFER WILL SURPRISE YOU
SLIM CHANCE FOR
PUBLIC TO LOSE
INGDTUESDAV
IT'S a good general proposition
that when you don’t stand to
lose you consequently don’t
stand tn win. Rut with the Mor
ris-Kubiak bout set for Tuesday
night at the Dixie Athletic club this
doesn’t sewn to hold. Fop that is
one occasion where the fight fans
will not stand to lose—and yet they
have a chance of seeing one of the
big fights of a season that lias been
punctuated witli all sorts of en
gagements.
The point is this: The club will
issue ’rain checks.” If the fight
isn’t up to specifications, these
checks are good for the next fight
or even better than that, for your
money back at the door.
There isn’t much hocus-pocus
about a deal like that. The man
ager of the Dixie club is posing
as the guy that took the ache out
of fake—which is going some. And
he promises to deliver. If you •
aren’t satisfied, the club will let you
see another fight free or will refund
your money.
The promoters of the game know
that this is the make-or-break
fight of the season. If it is a go,
the game will go booming along, to
the satisfaction of everybody. If It
isn’t, they'll tie crape on the door
knob of the Dixie Athletic club and
write "finis" on the record of pub
lic fights in Atlanta.
The club isn't taking any un
necessary chanties. They have
made the fighters agree to a 75-
25 split, which means that both of
them will fight hard to get the big
end. Os course, this does not ab
solutely prevent the men from
"framing," if they want to. But it
doesn’t seem likely that they will
take a chance. In fact, Morris
came pretty well out of the nasty
mess in Chattanooga, but will have
to fight his best if he is to get any
more fights of consequence. He
knows only too well that if he
doesn't leave Atlanta with a good
record hie boxing days are nunir
bered and it’s "back to the old en
gine” for Carl—for life.
As happens often enough, this
fight is likely to be the best of the
season. The club. the referee
(who will be the justly celebrated
Mike Saul), the fighters, the back
ers and the promoters know that it
is up to them to make this fight
the big one of the season.
If it isn't—good-nighif
Spider Britt and Yankee
Schwartz will furnish the excite
ment at the semi-windup. They
are good kids and ambitious. They
will put on their famous hamrner
and-tongs specialty and guarantee
that the public will see one rattling
light, even if the rest aren’t up to
tlie notch—which they probably
will be.
RUBE ACCUSES M’GRAW OF
•PROFESSIONAL’ JEALOUSY
ST. LOVIS, Dec. 16.—Rube Marquaril,
premier slabman of the New York Giants,
declared that McGraw was jealous of his
success as an actor.
Marquard compared himself as an actor
favorably with Louis Mann and George
Cohan and predicted a brilliant stage fu
ture for himself. He declared that he
was booked for 22 weeks, and unless the
New York club came across with a con
tract for SIO,OOO he would stick to the
stage and give up baseball for all time.
Marquard has become quite stuck - up
since going on the stage and carries a
valet along and hands out tips that would
equal those of many a millionaire.
Harvard Eleven Will Suffer Most by Graduation
New Material at Princeton and Yale Is Promising
By Monty.
IT looks as though Harvard, tlie
football champion of 1912, will
be tin chief sufferer by gradu
ation of its stars before next year
rolls around, and that Princeton,
which finished last among the big
three this yeat, will be the most
fortunate in that respect. In other
words, everything points to the
leading trio being more evenlj
matched when they toe the scratch
for the 1913 supremacy race.
Just at this time there is very
little to do in any branch of tlie
realms of sport except to retrospect
and prognosticate. There is prac
tically no activity in spo t now and
there will be hardly any until the
baseball teams take to tlie Houth
on their training trips next spring.
With the close of the football sea
son. the gridiron game still holds
the fort where gossips gather
around the camp lire and the stove,
and the points of prime importance
is what may be expected in the
next campaign.
Four men now who rank among
the foremost cogs in the machine
that ground out a Crimson king
ship the past season will be among
the absentees when the reveille is
sounded at Cambridge next fall.
They are Captain Percy W endell.
Sam Felton, the remarkable punt
er and end; Bobby Gardner, the
heady quarterback, and Parmenter,
who played a star ganft- at center.
In addition, there are Lawson,
Bradely, Hollister, Lingard. Grau
stein, Frothingham, Driscoll and
Tom Hardwick to get their diplo
mas. These men all were high
grade substitutes, and all of them
good enough to be regulars on any
Harvard team of modern times,
with the exception of tlie one most
remarkable eleven Harvard ever
put on a field—the one of the sea
son just gone by.
Os course, there will lie Brickley.
Harold Hardwick, Storer, Hitch
cock, Pennock, Trumbull, O'Brien
and a number of fair substitutes
left, but the team will have to draw
largely upon new candidates. Ma
han, the star back of the freshman
team, will lie available, and lie will
come close to filling the shoes of
the great Wendell. Rut so far as
known, there is nobody who can
take adequately the vacancies left
by Felton, Parmenter and Gardn
nFr.
Princeton will lose six of its var
sity regulars—Captain Pendleton,
Bluethenthal, Andrews, Dunlap, Lo
gan and Penfield. The oly one of
these who will lie badly missed is
tlie wondeiful center, Bluethenthal..
The loss of Pendleton, great as he
is. will not be severe, as DeWitt,
Waller, Hobey Baker and Stewart
Baker remain for the hack field.
Fred Trenknian and Emmons will
be available as ends, anil Streit,
Swart, Schenk. Phillips and Ed
Trenknian are more than average
