to be good match for the Teuton, de-
spite the fact that the latter has many
international honors to his credit. In his
play in the first game Jaffe proved him
self player Of much resource He won

FEATHERWEIGnTS. TOMORROW
MORAN AND ATTELL WILL BAT
TIE FOR THE TITLE.
Former Will Have to Reduce Some
what to Keep in Limit-Lat-
ter the Favorite.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 31.-Owen
Moran, the English feather weight cham
pien, who will meet Abe Attell for the
worlds championship tomorrow, weighed
121h pounds Sunday. Both Moran and
Attell from now until the day Of the fight
will do just enough to keep on edge.
With the odds at 10 to against him and
the expressed opinion. to back up the
speculative figures. Of prominent fight ex-
perts, Moran does not seem to have the
least fear that Attell will beat him when
they meet.
The English boy has shown his game
ness on more than one occasion. He f1g-
ures on wearing down Attell and beating
him with a whirlwind finish. Those who
saw him beat frankie Neil, have been
playing the Moran end since Saturday,
feeling confident he will beat Attell. This
has not been sufficient to offset the weight
of money Atteil and his friends dumped
from 10 to s to 10 to Z.
Attell Is we'll within the limit. so that
1t will be easy for him to make weight,
100 pounds, three hours before the fight.
Moran has had harder work than Attell
to make the weight, but states that he
will have trouble in getting to weight.
Referee Jim Jeffries came to town yes
terday and visited the fighters at their
camps. Moran requested Jeffries not to
step in between the fighters when he Or
ders them to break. The little Englishmen
wants the advantage he will have from
hitting in the breakaway.
Attell Is apparently willing to leave the
entire matter of enforcing the rules to
Jeffries. He sticks to his statement Of
last week that he can beat Moran at any
style Of fighting and will stop him in ten
rounds. :
Fight dopesters figure Attell as the nat
ural winner because he has beaten every
featherweight of prominence with ease,
$50 FOUNDERS. Moran only recently gradu-
ated from the bantamweight class to the
feather. 1t is figured that II he is as good
a feather as he was bantam, Attell will
have his hands full to beat him in twenty
rounds.

Yale showed a better knowledge of the
finer points OF the game than George
Washington last night. Yale always made
sure of its passes and never attempted a
long try for a goal. Instead, the visitors
worked the ball up and under the basket
and then did their shooting for the goal.
George Washington. on the other hand,
on almost every occasion, would try to
make score from anywhere beyond the
center of the floor.
