READY FOR
 THE BELL
Joe Cans and Jimmy Britt Down to Weight for Their Championship Battle To- Night-other News.

San Francisco, Oct 31.--Gans closed his work yesterday weighing 132h pounds, which makes sure that he will be able to show the necessary 1SS pounds at the ringside tonight.
 This reassuring news has had the effect of making the negro fighter a stronger favorite with the betting men. For a while Saturday all manner of reports were circulated, one being that Cans was still above 1855 pounds. When Manager Herford returned from San Rafael all doubt was set at rest Herford announced that G@ns weigh ed, at the end of hard days work Saturday, 133% pounds.
 1T hear Manager Willie Britt would like the weight forfeit increased so as to reassure the public" said Herford to Matchmaker Coffroth, of the Shasta club. Saturday evening. Well, ! am willing to put up an extra S.50o, which will make the weight forfeit $400O. and the appearance money S1,- .O00.''
 5, Coffroth thoupht the idea good one. So did Britt. and later in the evening it was announced officially that the Britt-G Cans weioht forfeit had been in- creased to $4.000.
 Betting on the contest began in earn est yesterday. and before 1t ceased thousands of dollars were in the hands of a nliddleman. A few bets at even money were made early i'll the day, but toward evening the Cans packers loosnnad their purse strings and of- fered 10 to s. At these figures the men who take care of the wagered money were kept busy counting coin and mak- ino memoranda.
 Harry Corbett acted as custodian of the two largest warers made yester- dav. Tn each case S50O of Cans money was bet against $40O of Britt backing. Corbett also handled innumerable bets of sraall lin1ef1saans. The wagers ranged from s5Sto S1o0 and were main ly at 10 to 8, withJG Bans favorite.
 "A strange thingHahout it so far is that there are more Britt packers in sight than there are supporters Of Cans, yet less Britt money," said Cor bett 'sThe Cans money comes. in chunks. and we have to bet 1t off in small amounts. From appearances at present expect to see lively betting before the men enter the ring
 It was said that odds of 10 to against Britt could be obtained at some of the snorting resorts. and 1t was prophesied that the native son would be in the short end at 10 to B to-day. AsQ5l lisThere >are differences of opinion on this point, however. It is felt that hundreds of small bettors who. are swayed by the local sympathy will place their money on Britt. and it is believed that the stream of small coin. will be such that Cans packers will not be called upon to gye better than 10 to T.

It was the first game played between these two teams, and rivalry ran high, but, notwithstanding, the game was cleanly played and was a credit to both teams. Georgetown scored two of her tonchdowns by line plunging, carrying Holy. Gross up and down the field with the tierceness of her rushes, but the third touchdown, that in the second half, was secured by a sensational run by Captain Ma Koney, who, breaking through the cen ter Of the line, ran seventy yards for 6. touchdown.

SECOND CAME A TIE.


 The strong Acorn team of Bridge port with their manager, Danny Walk CT, and host of trainers, coachers, packers and followers came up from Bridgeport prepared to do things to the Ali- Waterbury team, but In this they were unsuccessful 1t was demon strated, however, that the Bridgeport team played with better headWork and but for one or two fumbles should have scored. Their interference was better than Waterbury's and they sbucked the line harder and used more trick plays, which apparently were successful until the ball would be lost in tumble. Waterbury seemed to have too many captains and advisers They did not play systematic game and inteTfered with each other on va rious plays. With the team thoroughly coached and each man mindful Of his captain much better work would be oD- tained and the Acorns would probably go down to defeat. Neither side had crossed the goal line when time was called for the close of the game. The line-up:

All Waterbury Holds the Acorns of Bridgeport Sale-Elms the Winners $ Other Games.

From five to six thousand persons crowded all over the Riverside grounds yesterday afternoon to wit ness two games of football when were we'll contested throughout. All agreement had been made that the crowds would be kept off the field, but whoever made such an agreement con- tracted flor more than he could carry out. A regiment of soldiers would noI have kept that crowd back when the game approached the close and inter- esting points. However, those who had charge of the games did as well as any number of persons could in keeping the field clear.
 The first game started was q battle royal between the Films and the Acorns of this city. It was bitter battle and at times resenabled free word from beginning to end and the Elms won the game by the score Of Il to 5. The Acorns were saved from shutout by run of S5 yards for a touchdown by Matthews, who dodged through the entire Elm team. The lineup:

NEW YORK, Oct. 31. Crushed beaten, battered almost 50 a pulp, 'in til it's stricken warriors. limp and ul most ltfeless, lined the field from goa post ts goal post, Columbla's faotbai eleven. fighting to the last gasp, wen, down to defeat by score of 34 to 0 victims of the fearful weight and pow CT of Tales monster team.
 Crushed and beaten, but far from disgraced. is the summary of, the clash @f 1904 between the two colleges.
 Bull throated. hairy of chest and hulging with beef and muscle, old Ellis team came swaggering on the field of American League park. All over it looked the fearful engine of destruc- ton it later proved to be. Beside 1t the Columbia team, generally suppos- ed to be fairly husky lot of Lads, look cd almost like pigmies.
 It was in the second half that Yale'a giants gave an exhibition of what they could dc. The first half was chiefly devoted to getting the machine in working order, trying out the different portions of its mechanism. Then, con yinced that 1t was all right, 1t was driven to its limit
 And what power there was in it. Like an enormous steam driven snow piow 1t plunged into the Columbia nine. scattering all before it, defyint all obstacles. battling. grinding, crush, ing It's way toward the goal.
 One man in the light blue and white keen. dangerous and heady to the last made a splendid stand for Columbia practically alone. This was Metzen- thin, quarterback, whom Morley did net play in the first half of the game against Pennsylvania and who, though playing on q defeated eleven, must be honored henceforth in Columbia's foot ball hall of fame side by side with Harold Weelzes.
