S SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT
’Sno Use--the Judge Can’t Get In Right Again
McFarland Manages to Pile Up
Lead in Majority of Rounds.
Nelson “Kids” Victor.
By Ed W. Smith. *
C A 1I
Farland, world’s greatest hox-
y er, lost his head hut won a fight
Inst night. Opposed to .lark Brit-
ton, of Chicago, the idol of the stock -
yards displayed so much fooling of a
disagreeable nature that he couldn’t
box a lick, and when it came to
fTghtlng Britton, he lost much of the I
sterling sparkling qualities that
brings him that title of “world’s |
greatest boxer.’’
The battle went the full ten rounds,
and at the finish the general verdict,
was that McFarland had had a good
shade the better of It.
in addition to being pitted against
one of the best fighters in the busi
ness in the legitimate 135-pound
class, Packey was badgered and
heckled by one Battling Nelson, once
world's champion of the division and
avowedly Packey's lifelong bitter
enemy. Nelson sat near McFarland's
comer, and sent messages over to
Britton's comer, even attempting
openly to have Referee Stout act as
a messenger boy for him. Stout
wouldn't, bul the incident obviously
annoyed Packev, who leaned out of*
the roy©6''between the fifth and sixth
rounds and yelled at Nelson:
“It’s a good thing for you I haven’t
got you in hero to-night. I’d knock
your head off.’’
Nelson, knowing he had the Mc
Farland goat meandering, merely
grinned and tossed some notes across
the ring The papers were promptly
kicked out, but Packey was as wild
as a loon after that, and didn’t re
cover Ids bearings for a full round.
The contest was a keen disappoint
ment. especially to Packer’s friends,
because he didn’t do the impossible
knock Britton out. He failed in this
just as every other good fighter has,
not so much because he lost his head
in anger, but because he can not
beat Britton any more decisively
than he did Iasi night—at least in
ten rounds.
Packey has flashed his speed be
fore Chicago crowds against m lot of
mediocre opponents lie beat them
without trouble. Assembled in the
ring last night with one of the bes*
men in the business, the erowd of
Packer's friends though he should
treat Britton In much the same man
ner. When he didn’t do It, there was
hissing and booing, and the crowd
veiled in disapproval. It was hardly
just, because McFarland did his ab
solute best.
The first three rounds were In
Britton's favor, the next two were
fairly even, but from the sixth round
on It w as McFarland's "bat tie In a
big walk.
In the ninth and tenth rounds
Brittons gloves were heavy as lead,
and lie couldn’t hold them higher
than his waist with any success.
Packey. too. was dug tired, but he
carried all the battling to the North
Shier, and was entitled to the shade.

Brown as the Red manager if such a
thing was in his power

But. of course, the National League
Is far from being within Mr. Johnson’s

Bv Coach Heisman.
1 T TIIENEVER present-day foot-
YY ball players stop for a mo
ment to contemplate the
fact that some years ago the. offen
sive team had only five yards to gain
to make first down, they invariably
fall to wondering how the defensive I
team ever held their opponents for
downsall. Admitting, as they do.
that the defense of to-day could not
stop a team for that required gain. I
the inquiry is pertinent as to wheth- |
er modern defense has not deterior- I
a ted.
Well, that depends. First of all.
It depends upon what you are con
sidering. If by stopping a team you
merely mean stopping its running or
rushing attack, of course there can
be little doubt that the defense r.f
to-day is not near as sturdy aa it
used io be in the days when whole
afternoons were put In by the coaches
teaching the players how to get un
der the line and stop the dreaded
“guards back" or the famous “tackle
ovcr“ ramming, smashing, grinding
plays of that period.
But, then, it must be borne in mind
that no forward passes were played
in that day, and, as a result, r|i*>
secondary defense found It not only
safe, but eminently proper, to come
right up behind the line and play on
the very haunches of the tackles. If
our secondary defense of to-day were
permitted to do this, no doubt they
could also do better n the matter of
stopping a rushing attack
Still, it must be admitted that sec
ondary defensive players of to-day
are not in a class with those of a dec
ade ago, when It comes to getting
into the mix-up and doing their full
share toward stopping a strong buck
through the line: and that no matter
where they might be permitted to
station themselves. Nowadays they
are mostly coached how to stop for
ward passes, not bucks; and what
tackling they do Is mainly on the
opposing end runners. Hence they
have not had the coaching on stop
ping the stuff through the line that
used to be expended on these sec
ondary men. ,
On the other hand, it can he point
ed out with equal truth that the sec
ondary defensive players of that day
would have made an even greater
mess of the Job of trying to stop for
ward passes had they been called
upon to do It without several yeara
of wo!Idas *p to it. in short, t.ha
defense of ten years ago w r as strong
er for stopping the offense of that
pe’iod than would be the defense ■•?
! to-day, while the converse is true re-
|Raiding defense under present rules
when contrasted with what the de
fensive players of bygone days could
do with the game of to-day.

VU HAT 1s going to be the limit to
the throngs that will patronise
the football of the future? That
would be difficult to say. Had you
noticed that th# attendance grows
greater every year?
The Tale-Harvard game drew 42.-
000 this \ear The Army-Navy game
drew 47.000, None of the big game*
in the West drew less than 25,000.
In the Southern cities the attend
ance has been distinctly larger than
in any previous seasons.
Thirty years ago the college that
built a stadium seating 30,000, .•«
does Penn’s in Philadelphia, would
have been considered non compos
mentis. But that 30,000 capacity is
no longer sufficient for the Army-
Navv game, so they took their game
to tiie field with the largest stands
In the country, and then it wasn't
nearly large enough. Harvard's sta
dium was built to hold 40.000, and
still it didn't hold more than half of
those w ho clamored for admission.
Now comes Yale with her 60,000 ca
pacity stadium well under way. And
will it be filled with spectators when
completed'.' At the big games it cer
tainly will, and running over.
And isn't that remarkable when
you stop to think that New Haven
is far from being a large city? In
other words, they will not depend
very much on the resident population
to fill up the big saucer. The people
will pour in from hundreds of mlVs
in every direction.
Th** ancient Coliseum at Rome he'd
but 70.000 spectators, and while it
was comfortably filled at all bargain
matinees, it must be remembered
that the attractions were even more
numerous than in the football coli
seum of to-day. and that the stage
settings wore particularly and oe-
Millar!.' ro il stic rather more so than
in our day.
In another ten years the qnerv M
each college will be where will they
find a plot of land large enough on
which to build the football coliseum
that will be required in that day.

I TAD you noticed how the use of
1 * shift formations is spreading like
wild fire over the cow try? The quick
Jump-shift very similar to the Min
nesota shift that was Introduced ;*t
New Haven by Shevlin in 1910, just
prior to the Yale-Princeton game —
was first shown in the South by Tech,
alsr. in 1910? But Tech never learned
it from Yale, or from Minnesota
either. They took it up weeks before
Yale ever heard of it. right after the,
Alabama game in October. and
worked not only the hacks Into the
Jump, but the line as well And that
very year yet they used It to get a
high-grade punt formation a pur
pose for which it was not employed
by any team that year, nor the next
either
What surprised me this year was
nqt to see a good many college teams
playing a Jump-shift, but a goodly
number of prep teams as well. The
Jump-shifts of Tech High, of Bovs’
High, of Riverside and of O. M. C.
were all different from each other,
and all had points of merit. Other
prep teams doubtless used such as
well, but these happened to he all the
prep teams I saw frem this State this
fall. T did see a game between two
Tennessee prep teams, however, .nit
neither of these used jump-shifts.
I was particularly Impressed with
the excellence of the work done by
the Tech High team in this depart
ment of play. Their shifting was
particularly fast, clean^and uniform.
It did not violate tho rules in any
way, and It was done quite as well
as the best college teams could do U.
This means that in a year or so the
prep players who come to college will
already have been thoroughly Initiated
into the mysteries of quick shifts,
which will make the worl of the col
lege coaches easier
On the other hand, this matter of
Jump-shifting is leading to so many
freak formations in the backfleld ind
so many maneuvers calculated to take
advantage of the wording of the rules
in new and unexpected ways that It
would not surprls me if the rules
committee did no. take a hand In the
r.ime and do some legislating regard
ing th«se quick shifts In a year or
two. They make things too hard Tor
the officials, for they can’t waten
everything In a game as the game-a
are now played.

Camp Stops Talk of
Yale-Michigan Game
CHICAGO, Dec. 9.—Walter Camp, ath
letle adviser for YaJe, yesterday put a
stop to the talk - that he is attempting
to arrange a game between Yale and
the University of Chicago for next sea
son
Camp denied he Is hsre on such a mis
sion. and further stated that there are
two strong reasons why such a game
can not be played First, he declares,
the Yale 1914 schedule Is so filled that
It would be almost Impossible to slip
In another; and. secondly, he doubted
whether Coach 8tagg would take hls
team to New Haven for a clash.
Camp Raid there isn't a chance of Yale

The Atlanta Georgian:
Friend Bill—Your letter received a
few days ago, and was glad to hear
that the hoys in dear old Atlanta are
feeling fine. Have been taking pret
ty good care of myself, and expect to
report In great shape in the spring
and help the Craqkers cop another

I went to my home in Bladon
Springs for a ten-day visit after the
close of the ball season, and from
there came here to accept a position
in the commissary of the Cochran
Lumber Company. The mill, how
ever, burned down on the night of
October 17. throwing; tfie greater part
of the employees out of work. I had
a great time while at work, dealing
with the people of the town. They
all wanted to know about the Crack
ers’ grandstand finish, and kept me
busy reviewing the dope.
I am now' spending much time fish
ing and hunting. I landed a six-
pound black bass the other day. be
sides others of smaller size. Gee. but
It’s dandy sport, especially If you
happen to be lucky.
Near here there is a river swamp
abounding in game of all descrip
tions, w’here many ducks, both Mal
lards and Teal, as w r ell as numbers of
squirrels, have fallen victims of my
dogs and gun. I was a member of a
camp hunt held In this swamp
Thanksgiving week, and killed eleven
ducks and 53 squirrels.
Well, Bill, have nothing else to
write about, so will close with re
gards to all my friends in Atlanta.
Your friend,
