FRANKLIN and BERGEN LEAD

In the Junior League all four Of the
contests resulted in blanks for the
losers. The Bergen Street boys did not
play in this league, owing TO the nom
appearance of the Elizabeth Avenue
eleven. with whom they were scheduled
to play. The athletic committee Of he

unless the Elizabeth Avenue team can
give a good excuse, that b game Will
be credited to the Bergen Street team

JEFFRIEs ON FOOTBALL.

Jim Jeffries, the retired and revived
~pugilist, has a few warm words to say
about college football. AS usual, It
was necessary to corkscrew a few an
swers out of him before his tongue
began to work freely. jeff is no con-
versationalist, but he thinks his
thoughts and they are usually pretty
sensible ones.
Hold on!" said he, quickly. I'm a
fighter. Maybe I ought not to have
any opinions about football. 1t isn't
game. In not supposed to know
anything about it. Well. y-e-es, I've
been reading the papers. Tell me, on
the level, have they killed seven boys
already this year? That's serious. No
joke about that kind of a game, I
guess. Now then.
You can say that I'm against any
game that kills seven boys while it's
only warming UP, you might say That
sort of a game isn't worth while. No
game that kills men as a regular thing
is worth while" I

For the first time this year the scrub

The varsity scored three touchdowns

q of Jack Johnson, the negro heavyweight cham
pion, who is to fight Jim Jeffries. Arguments pro and
con as to the ability of the black man to cope with the
undefeated heavyweight former title-holder have been
heard. One faction claims that the negro will be vic

the pictures show that the Johnson-Ketchel affair was a
poor fight, except the wind-up, yet Johnson's stock goes
high as q result of 1t. The pictures being shown at

break all records of the pugilistic world to come out vic

johnson. But can Jim get back? Soon after the Ketchel-

Ketchel would be beaten by the black, and the pictures

unless the request Of Colonel Hugh l..
Scott. superintendent of the Military
Academy. that the game be called off.
owing to the death of Cadet Byrne,
will be accepted unless, 1t Is Withdrawn.
The only hope of It's continuation lies
In the fact that Captain j. NJ. Bowyer,
superintendent of the Naval Academy,
has delayed his answer to the request
until action shall be taken upon 1t by
the Navy Athletic Association.
Washington may also interfere. The
matter Is In the hands of the War and
Navy Departments, who. having sane
toned the game arranged for this sea
son, must now agree to its cancellation.
Football practise progressed yester-
day afternoon at the Naval Academy
as II there was no doubt that the sea-
son would be extended as expected. In
fact, a full afternoon was given to
it for the first Monday of the season,
the football men having been excused
