Tommy Burns. the so-Called heavyweight
champion purilist of the world, Will
meet Jack johnson, the big negro, in a
fight TO p finish at sydney, New South
wales. next month. In a letter TO
the sun sam Fitzpatrick. Johnson's man
aver. who handled Peter Jackson and Kid
Layisne In their palmy days, writes that
tho men have signed articles TO box for a
purse Of $500, to be divided on tho basis
Of s2t.oOO to the winner and $4,000 to the
iosar. In view OF the fact that Burns be-
fore he left England for Australia de-
clarcd that he would not meet johnson un-
less he received $4,000 win, lose or draw,
this Information from Fitzpatrick appears
10 be in the nature Of a surprise.

no reason TO believe that it will not be
decided on its merits, a great fight should

tall and scaling at 800 pounds fighting

with Burns for two years. He has always
maintained that. he could beat Burns in a
limited round bout or 20 a finish and has
repeatedly offered to stop. the s~o-called
champion inside of twenty rounds or for

TO draw the color line. but as he got the
merry lsuRh from sporting men all over
the country he qualified this statement
with tho remark that In due time he would
take on the burly negro pugilist.
Burns then began the easy task oil

OUTSIDE KICK IS PROMISING
Some Championship Games VIII BE
Won by Clever Trick.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. A.-The closed
gate season has arrived. That means that
the foot ballers have reached the real Sc
rious stage of their preparation for the
big games. When the coaches have the
gates locked they get TO work to rehearss
some OF the new stunts that they have
been oveFworking their gray matter 10 de-
wise. The teams by this time are sup
posed to have been we'll drilled in the
fundamentals OF the game and are eX-
pected to so ahead into the advance
classes, learning the intricacies of new
plays which are intended to p~aTslyEe their
opponents in the big games,
There need be no surprise this fall II
some big championship foot ball game is
won by means OF a cleverly executed on
side kick. A good many coaches and play
ers, not to mentions spectators, spr'ar TO
be ignorant of the existence Of this par
ticular mode Of offense. Yet Yale, with a
sagacity quite common TO the Blue, is de-
veloping 1t and has already made good use
OF 1t in the preliminary games to date.
This particular play, while hardly open to
as many possibilities as the forward pass,
possesses more value as a trick play than
the other, and when used at the right mo-
ment is likely to turn the tide Of battle
in more than one big match. There is
hardly a play IN the whole repertory which
can so quickly change the face OF things
and demoralize an opposing team as the
successful operation OF the onside kick.
1t is all the more surprising on this sc-
count that so few coaches are grounding
their team in the use OF this play. Foo
ball coaches. especially those OF the old
school. move slowly I'm all matters affecting
the development OF the game. When the
forward pass was first legsliEed not cone
team IN ten dared TO use It oftener thar
two or three times in a single game. They
we're afraid OF it and did not realize II.
value until some big team showed VIVA.
efficient coaching and persistent practic,
could accomplish with il. One does no.
need to be 8 prophet to predict with Ger
tainty this future for the onside kick. I
was SO with the quarterback kick a dozeI
years ago, and repeated with the forwar,
pass. An offense which one never know
where IL Will strike next is quite as valua
BILE as a battering ram which can go dow
the field with Irresistible force.
Yale is the only team to date which ha
shown a determination to get the most on
OF this play, and il goes without sayini
that Yale will profit accordingly. TIL
