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 Navin is likely to have all manner of trouble in signing the Tigers for 1913. 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 > 16. At a meeting ol the athletic committee of Lafayette college it was decided by unanimous vote to drop the spring trip of the baseball team to the South. For many years the Lafayette baseball team has ’ had its 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 years has resulted in the team getting lit tle practice. MURPHY THINKS HECAN GET PACKEY THIS TRIP LOS ANGELES, Dec. 16.—Frank L. Chance, former manager of the Chicago Cubs, who lias been released and who is expected io become manager of the New York Highlanders, left California today to meet Frank Farrell, of the Yankees in Chicago. It is expected the deal will be closed whereby Chance will become man ager of tlie Yankees and that Chance will start back for California Saturday so as to be at his home on Christmas day.

Alabama St., Atlanta. Ga.: Pl«aae tell me about your Knife Offer. Name Address R. F. D. No 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 A Des Moines man had an attack of muscular rheumatism in his shoulder.
