this matter. That negro has made more
noise and done less than any man know.
I'll live w to the Berger agreement, but
as TO the details. they can take care OF
themselves. The sooner the articles are

Jeffries looked ready for fight as he
stood on the deck with Sam Berger. his
manager. He seems to be as free from fat
as he was when he was fighting his great
est battles in the ring. His weight yester-
day was no more than 225 pounds, and he
looked the picture of rugged heaIth-like
man who could prepare himself for any
test of physical prowess in short order. He
talked with snappy confidence. calmly and
without heat. but with determination, and
Ike man who was ready to put his words
20 the test OF action.
The secret OF his condition. which was a
surprise to those who met him. he ex-
planned in a few words. He told of his long
training work at Carlsbad. where, unob-

he has always used in preparing himself
for fight He kept quiet about this. not

TO have recovered entirely from their re-

There was no real scrimmage to-day. but
defensive formations were tried out by the
varsity in the course of half an hours
drill with the second eleven. No chances
Of injuries TO any of the men were taken,

noon by w. Blodgett, much bigger man,
who was recently promoted from the scrub
team. He has more experience, as well as
more weight. than the oarsman. and it is
believed that he will strengthen the left

The fact that he is a comparatively new

the problem of finding suitable ends may
be partially solved. Welch will play at the

Pennsylvania last Saturday. and it can be
