Five Brothers and All Fighters
ALBERT
By JOE WILLIAMS
It takes a lot of jack to keep the
Williams family of Wheeling, W.
Va., in gloves.
Boxing gloves, we mean.
There are five boys in the family
and all of them are battlers.
fn this family a black eye Is as
common as feathers on a humming
bird's tail, and a tin ear excites no
comment whatever. g
Taking them at their graduated
weights the Williams wallopers are
Albert DO pounds; Stanley, 110;
Eddie, 118; Billy, 125 and Francis,

This is not merely a fighting fam
ily where boxing gloves are distribl
uted on birthdays. All the boys are
real punchers, either with proses-
Mercer Bears Beat
Florida ’Gators at
Macon By 10 to 0
BY WILL RILEY
MACON, Ga.—The ’Gators from
the Land of Flowers disregarded
the signal displayed through the
agency of the Little Bear of Mer
cer, the mighty Saurians continuing
to ignore the warning even when
the dark cloud hove into sight over
the hill east of Alumni Field, and
true to Aesopian teachings, the
’Gator lashed his tail in vain and
was crushed by the Mercer Bear
hug, 10 to 0.
Captain “Ark" Newton, of th%
Florida eleven was a tower of
strength among his fellows, as were
also Edgar Jones and Lightsey.
Newton and Jones were brilliant
stars in the Army game a week
ago. but their prestige won at West
Point gained them naught at
Macon, although had the entire*
Florida team fought like those
three, the nawn-song might have
ben rendered to a different tune.
Mercer’s stars were the men who
wore the black, for every man on the
tram stood on his toes for the
pfirth of the game, fighting every
inch of ground when Florida had
the ball and shoving the Peninsula
boys farther back down the field
when Mercer liad It. The Bears
completed one forward pass out of
three attempts, this one netting the
only touchdown. Florida tried her
ae-ial game twenty-three times and
only succeeded in putting two of
them through'Vithout a hitch, these
two coming in succession and exe
cuted by the great Newton. Mer
cer shove the ball over the
eleven first downs, while
Florida could master but nine, most
of them feeble and of the skin-of
the-teeth variety.
CECIL SCORES
THE TOUCHDOWN
Dave Rice, at fullback. Cecil and
Bates, at halves, and Lawrence, at
quarter, ran the backfield section
in scintillating style, Rice, Cecil
and Bates doing consistent ground
gaining with their plunging and
running tactics, while Lawrence
shone brightly in his passing and
punting. It was Cecil who received
Lawrence’s pass in the first quarter
and went for a touchdown, while

oiled native grunts. In many cases the good senor's remarks Were mis
taken for static, with atmospheric complications. “I am glad to be in

ence. Billy, star of the lot, has had
something like 75 hard fights, and
has never been beaten at his weight.
SETS FAMILY
RECORD
These five brothers represent the
largest family drive for professional
ring honors in the history of the
game. Brother fighters are not rare
occurences. Many families have had
two boys in the ring at once, some
three, and the Cross family, with
Leach, Phil, Marty and Sam, hit the
four-brother mark.
If one of the five Williams bat
tlers attains to real fistic class the
family should be satisfied. There
Lawrence kicked for the extra
point and later added three points
with a field goal drop kick. Mer
cer’s scoring ended here, but her
playing just commenced, for the
'Gators were frenzied and despe
rate and only a team full of nerve
and appetite for punishment could
hold them back, and Mercer held
them.
Rice got away for two beautiful
long runs, one in the first quarter
around left end for 40 yards to
Florida’s 25 yard line, which was
vsoon after followed by the play
that brought the first scoring, and
another for 35 yards when he in
tercepted a forward pass by Pitt
man, who was at quarter for
Florida. In addition to this, Rice
made several of the first downs for
his team on single plays and gained
considerable ground in three, four
and five yard runs and plunges.
Kid Cecil, Dave Rice, Red Sim
mons, 80-Dick Carson, Slew Dunn,
Rusty Lawrence, Crook Smith and
Jimmie Glover bore the brunt of
Mercer's burden, but the line held
well and the entire team has Its
full share in the glory to the Black
and Gold.
The Bears experienced a lot of
difficulty in stopping the terrible
Newton and Jones combination, but
they succeeded so well that prac- J
tically the entire game saw the
ball in Florida's territory.
Senator Walter F. George and
Ex-Governor Thomas W. Hard
wick, Mercer alumni, were among
the distinguished guests on hand to
do honor to the present warriors of
the strenuous grid.
While the game lacked the at
tendant splendor and magnificence
of the Geonrto-Furman classic in
Augusta on October 18, it was in
tensely more interesting as a game.
It was a beautiful exhibition of the
great sport in every department,
j A crowd estimated at from four to
: six thousand witnessed the play,

have been but ffrw cases where
brother fighters reached stardom
simultaneously, or at different in
tervals, either. Generally one broth
er is a real star, the others Just so
so.
The three McGovern boys were
all scrappers, but Terry was the
only one who got anywhere. Leach
was the only one of the four Cross
boys who had real ability. Pal was
easily the best of the three Moore
boys of Philadelphia. ( A different
family from the Pal Moores of
Memphis.)
Jim Jeffries had a brother named
Jack, who thought he was a figh
