BRITT READY
TO MEET CANS
Indications Point to the
Californian Making a Bid
for His Title at Once
REFEREE WEIGHS SCORE
Passes on the Merits of the
Big Bout From the View
point of Fighting Man

From developments yesterday it
seems Jimmy Britt's next opponent
will be Joe Cans instead Of Young Cor
bett. Britt figures that If he defends
his featherweight championship title
first and should lose to Corbett there
would be no chance Of a match with
Cans. If he could not beat Corbett
he surely could not lower the coIors Of
the Baltimore whirlwind.
On the other hand if ne lost to Cans
he could claim that he went out of his
class and the Corbett match would still
be desirable one. If the Cans match
Is made 1t will probably be decided
late in November when the racing con-
tingent will be here. If Britt beats
Cans at 133 he would probably want
TO make Corbett scale 1872 pounds,
which would be a better weight for
the Californian.
1t is estimated the Britt-Gans
fight would draw more than $4,000.
1t would be a wonderful betting fight.
as each boxer has a host OF followers.
There is a Lot OF political wirepull-
ing behind the scenes regarding box
ing. The fate Of the game for the ball
ance of this year will be decided short
ly. If it Is stopped here all the big
fights will be held in Colma, where the
authorities are friendly.
Referee Jack Welch showed his rec
ord of the rounds in the Gans-Wal-
colt fight yesterday. He gave Cans
seven rounds, Walcott five and called
eight even.
1t is evident he judged the bout
from the fighting point of view entire
ly. Cans received no credit for the con-
slant fire of blows he rained on Wal
colt, as they did not stop that remarka-
bic fighter. That some of them had
terrible force was shown when he fair
ly lifted Walcott off his feet on two oc-
casions.
1t is the opinion of Cans friends
that he gave the grandest exhibition OF
clean hitting and clever blocking ever
seen here. He is confident he can make
1873 pounds ringside and still be at his
best.
WaIcott cannot fight for months on
account of his injured arm.

Lick Team Defeats the
Lowell School
Eleven.

The Lick School football eleven ad-
ministered a crushing defeat yesterday
to the Lowell High School team. Lowell
was completely outclassed and at no
stage of the game had a chance to
score. Lick piled up total of 80 points
as against nothing for Lowell. 1t was
the first time Lick has beaten Lowell
since 1900 The only man who was at
all in evidence in the Lowell team was
Captain Cert, the left halfback. He
played throughout the game with lig-
ament of his ankle broken, and was
barely able to hobble about. He backed
UP the line cleVerly and was always at
the bottom of the heap. Cert has the
making of a, star, his style of play re-
sembling that of Jules Frankenheimer,
the great Stanford back.
Lick played an excellent game and
developed a man who bids fair to be-
come the premier kicker of the league.
This is Right Halfback Deitz, who
punted several times for forty yards.
Aside from his kicking Deitz. was the
star. His end running was the best
seen this year and usually netted his
team from ten to thirty yards. He did
some of the most scientific fumbling
ever seen on the local gridiron. He
made at least six fumbles on each of
which his team gained anywhere from
five to fifty yards. Lick fumbled con-
stantly but had all the luck and al
ways regained the ball for substan-
tial gain.
Cert was the only man on the Lowell
III n
but he was in no shape to do much
running. He was unable to punt, and
this task fell to Lynn. The latter's first
two kicks were blocked and resulted in
touchdowns for Lick. On an exchange
of punts Lick gained about twenty
yards each time.
Smell, Lick's fullback, did some great
line bucking. Several times he went
clear through the line and was stopped
by the man in the back field.
In the first half Lick scored three
touchdowns and a safety. Lowell S
center, who was a substitute, was re-
sponsible for the safety. In an attempt
to kick from the ten-yard line he passed
the ball over Lynn's head and back of
the goal line.
The second half was a repetition of
the first. Lowell was always on the de-
fensive and only once gained its five
yards: BY using Smell to buck and
Deitz to run the end Lick scored twice
in the second half and had the ball on
Lowell's two-yard line at the call of
time.
Lick's team work was good yester-
day, her interference being the best
seen up to date. If Lick and Polytech-
mic come together on Tuesday after
noon there will be hot game. 1t is
expected Lick will get the game on a
protest, as Polytechnic did not register
in time.
The teams opposed each other as fol-
