ION THE FOOTBALL FIELD.
> a FORECAST OF THE YALE-PRINCEToN
GAME-SURPRISES OF THE SEASON
AND WHAT THEY MEAN

The football season Of 1900 IS drawing rapidly
TO q close. The Observation-Disclosures battle is
already only brilliant memory. And now the
Yale-Princeton game looms up on the horizon,
ard within a week that will also pass into
grfdiron history. Who shall win-the Tiger or
the Blue? Which shall be the one TO take de-
feat with philosophic sadness and TO grid itself
for better deeds another year?
The answer to these questions that nine out
of ten college men will give you is that Yale
will win, and that Princeton will surely have
to take the licking this year. There are good
grounds for this belief. and I myself am Of the
opinion that the Blue Will wave triumphant
over the Orange and Black next Saturday AT
the same time I disagree strongly with those
critics who declare tfat Yale is going TO have
a simple walkover and Princeton not a single

PUGILISTS IN FINE SHAPE
FitzsimmOns and Sharkey Both
Confident of Victory.
Has Improved Greatly
Since His Fight With RuhIin-Not
vantage in Weisht-Lii<eIy to 3IaLe
Match With Corbett, if He wins.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Judging from
the splendid work Bob" Fftzsimmons had
been doing in practice at his training quar-
ters in Bergen Beach for his battle with
Tom Sharkey at Coney Island tomorrow
night, the former heavyweight champion
viii take lot OF beating when he meets
the sailor Every conceivable form of ex-
eTcise conducive TO strength and fitting
one thoroughly for a contest OF skill and
endurance has been practiced by Fitzsim-
mons since he has been in training.
As a result the Australian looks more
sturdy than when he fought Rubin. That
battle appears to have done the former
heavyweight champion a lot of good IN
his practice bouts with Bob" Armstrong
and George Dawson he has shown more
speed and better judgment in delivering
and blocking blows than marked his efforts
in the early part Of the battle with the
akron Giant" There were periods dur
ing the Ruhlin-FitZsimm0n contest when
"Lanky Bob" caused his hackers lot OF
uneasiness, due to lack of judgment Of
distance and inability to block blows sue
eessfuily.
While the increase in Fitzsimmons'
speed has been very marked, it would be
an eXaggeratiOn to say that he is as fast
with his hands and on his feet as he ever
was. He believes that he can beat any
heavyweight in the world. Fitzsimm0ns
says that he polished off Sharkey when he
got ready in their battle in California, but
owing to unfairness on the part Of Wyatt
carp, the referee, he was not credited
with a victory. carp awarded the bout
TO Sharkey on a foul.
At the time Fitzsimmons and the sailor
had their famous battle Fitzsimmons was
OF the zenith of his career as a DUgiliSt
and it was shortly after this contest that
he won the championship of the world
from Corbett at Carson City. While FitZ-
simmons had thorough knowledge of all
the tricks of the prize ring, Sharkey only
had crude idea of the elementary prin-
ciples. In spite OF his deficient knowl-
edge of the finer points Of sparring and
ring generalship the sailor kept Fitzsim-
mons puzzled for a considerable period.
AS matters stand today Sharkey feels
that he has the best Of things. His knowl-
edge CT the game has increased greatly
since ne fought Fitzsinmons- His hitting
power is also greater, and altogether he
is much more active than his rival is
likely to be tomorrow night.
Fitzsimmons has aged considerably, and,
while he won victory over Rubin, he is
far from being as quick z man as in his
championship Gays, and some persons are
taking the short end OF the Wagers, be-
lieying that # the battle tomorrow night
is fought on he same lines as the Rubin
Fitzsimmons contest Sharkey will win. One
thing in ShaTkey's favor is that he is alb
soIutely fearless He is always ready to
take a blow in order to land one.
Fitzsimmons trains hard every day. Yes
terday the Australian put in hard days
work. 1t consisted Of bag punching, tug
ging and wrestling with his pet pony and

boxing bouts with Bob Armstrong and
George Dawson. The bout between FIrz-
simmons and Armstrong was of the slug
ging variety, II was a three-round affair,
and each man smashed away during ths
nine minutes OF fighting in most vigorous
fashion. The exchanges in the go" be-
tween Dawson and FitzSimu0Gs we're OF

ably one of the cleverest men that ever
put on glove, kept fsinting the former
champion all the while. FItZsimmons was
On the alert during tee greater part Of the

the former boxing instructor Of the Chica-
go Athletic Club succeed in reaching the
jaw with the right.

physical trim for the contest. He is look

Or to his contest with Rubin. Il may
strike some person as strange, bat 1t is
nevertheless q fact that Fitzsinlmons now

weighed two pounds less the night he
fought Rubin. In speaking Of his disad-

Australian, Il never give my weight a
