KNOCKED OUT IN 18TH.
Title Against KetcheI-Game Fight
by Loser Against the Big Black.

Jack Johnson retained the heavy
weight pGgilistic championship by
knocking out Ketchel in the twelfth
round at Jimmy Coffroth's Colma ard
ma in California Saturday before TO-
600 spectators.
In his dressing room after the fight
Johnson said,
"He is a good puncher and strong
man. must say that he has given me
a soref chin than l ever had before. -
and he rubbed his swollen jaws re-
fiectively. HE can take some heavy
Blows continued the negro. See

said Johnson.
Ketchel said after he recovered that
a chance blow had finished him. II

dazed. But for that one blow l would
have beaten him.

Of what proved to be the last round
there had been little in the preceding
rounds on which to forecast the win

ring clenched and wrestled to john

and, posing himself, dashed at Ketchel,
who sprang to meet him. Ketchel drove
his right at the blacks lowered head.
Johnson ducked, and the blow landed
behind his ear. He stumbled, fell and

ACADEMY SECOND
PLAYS GOOD FOOTBALL.
Win from Outlaws, II to o-Losers
Had One Chance on Fluke.

The Academy second team scored a
win. IL to 0, over the Greeneville Out
laws Saturday afternoon on the Acad-
envy campus. The teams were closely
matched and both put up fine fight,
making the Academy earn all 1t got by
good hard play against their less ex-
perienced opponents.
All the scoring was in the first half,
MCNAMARA and Captain Grove carry
ing the ball over for touchdowns from
which Casey kicked one goal. The
spectacular feature came with the
concluding play of the game, when
Lowden dropped the ball as he was
boring through for a touchdown. Mid
get Mullen had the leather up and
was half down the field before anyone
realized what was happening. Quar-
terback Sullivan gave chase and saved
the score by a flying tackle that
brought down Mullen as the game
came to an end.
The officials were: Noyes, referee;
Hendrick. umpire. and Ricketts,, field
judge.

COY TO THE RESCUE.
Cadets Had Yale Stalled-YaIe Captain
Goes In In Second HaIf-BIue Wins,
II to 0.

Yale defeated West Point by a score
of II to in a great game at West
Point Saturday. Failing to penetrate
the Cadets defense with straight, old
fashioned line bucking football in the
first half, the soldiers holding the Ellis
to a scoreless tie in the getaway period,
the Bulldog was forced to resort to the
modern attack and pulled the brand
from the burning in the second period
with the aid of the forward pass and
the onside kick. So valorously did the
Army team defend its fortifications
that the heavier Yale line was out
gained in the opening period and the
great Coy, together with Philbin and
Howe, had to be rushed to the aid of
the weakening team in the second pc
Rod to force the plucky sons of Uncle
Sam to bend the knee
Coy's presence in the game for a few
moments caused the eleven to hit it's
stride in the second half. and after
they got going towards the West Point
goal line the great captain was with
drawn.
Johnson at quarterback played a
brilliant individual game, but he did
not show himself to be the general
that Howe did. Howe was quick to
see the soldiers weakness and equally
quick to take advantage of it. He
changed the whole plan of the Yale
attack. and it was his splendid judg-
ment and headwork that were respon-
sible for the Yale victory. Vaughn at
end received his forward passes splen-
didly and once getting the oval, sell
dom failed to make good gains
Vaughns catch of one forward pass
and his quick dash into the enemy's
territory and down through the cadets
backs for a touchdown was one of the
most spectacular plays of the game.
The summary: Score. Yale II, West
Point 0; touchdowns, Philbin, Vaughn,
Daily; goals from touchdowns, Hobbs 2;
