with an even chance that the latter would
get II. This variation was not used at all
in the game, nor was one calling for
double shift of men in the backfield. In
actual playing today nearly all the plays
went to wreck. The forward pass and
double Shift were not tried because OF
Harvard's quickness and skill in diagnos-
ing the Yale play.
AS the game went on with its varying
changes, Yale adopted mainly defensive
tactics. The Blue never came nearer the
Harvard goal line than the 45-yard line,
except at the close, when Daily made his
try for goal. For few moments Yale
men believed their team was outplaying

years captaincy.

Up to Sullivan and Attel.

At any rate. it Is up to Sullivan or
Attell. Or both, to let us hear more on
the subject, and to give the public the
facts, or what they believe to be the
facts. in the case. If Attel knows that up
to two days before the fight Johnson was
to lay down to jeff, and had suddenly
switched, he knows a great deal more
than others who were supposed to be
close to both principals, and he should
come to the front with the proof 1t is
an easy matter to make a suueal and
hurt a mans reputation. and it is due not
only to Jeffries and the public but also
the men who directed the big fellows
training operations. that the suuealers
come through with the evidence.
The pugilistic world experienced anoth-
err shock when Harlem Tommy Murphy
was handed a good trimming by "knocK-
OUT Brown. 1t was another case of the
novice beating the veteran and polished
boxer. Murphy was supposed to be the
class, and the betting was to l that
the Harlemite would win. 1t was
Browns fight all the way, and, while
not succeeding in administering the Sleep

stalling and clinching that Murphy lasted
ten rounds.

John L. Keeps Ball Rolling.

1t is. of course, late in the day to go
all over this subject, as it was thorough
ly thrashed out long ago. but as the fake
and dope stories keep cropping up con-
stantly one Is forced to pay some atten-
ton, especially when one of our leading
lights Of pugilism in the person of John
Lawrence Sullivan makes the assertion
that the fight was frame-up.
There were quite a few rumors float
ing around Reno that the fight was to be
faxed and that Jeffries was to win, but
there is always some croaker on hand
to circulate such stories on the eve of
an important pugillstic happening. When
the rumors were run down they were n
variably found to be nothing but hot
air. and emanating from, some sorehead
with grievance of some sort or other.
And this was the case at Reno. 40 one
in Jeffs camp knew anything about an
understanding between the men, or il
they did were the most close-mouthed
persons in the world, for secrets of this
sort generally leak out. There was real

color to the stories,

Brown Fools Talent.

Brown fooled the talent from start to
finish. 1t was thought that Tommy's
cleyerness would prove too much for the
sturdy youngster. The shoe was on me

wiseacres. and Brown proved superior
not only in strength. but in boxing and
footwork. From rough-and- willing

haymaker, Knockout" was developed in
an amazingly short time into a corkinR

Many Want to Coach.

The question of who will be coach next
year is already becoming paramount. and
Manager Walsh of 1911 is now being
hooded with applications. 1t is very I'M
likely, however, that any change will be

who will have good chances to make the
varsity another year. will be greatly
handicapped by having to undertake a
new system of play. Some effort, there
ioTe Is To be made to procure an old
varsity man each year to teach tactics

be promoted later.
In this regard it might be mentioned
that Fury. Cunniff. Daley, Sitterding,
StohlmaH, Bergen. Heiskell, Kerwin and
hawkins of the present varsity squad
are the products of the Hilltop prep
school, from which it can be seen that
many of those responsible for the splep-
did record OF the present Blue and GRAY
eleven were started in the game at the
school they now represent. If the system
can be further perfected the props will
yearly feed the university with many
valuable men. and every fall ample prep
aration can be made for the following
season.

logical contender against Georgetown for

The record of that team, however, Is not
near so prepossessing as the victories of
the locals. as Georgetown's schedule this
year was far more difficult than was the

NEXT YEARS PROSPECTS

captain Georgetown Foot Ball Team.
With the close of the Georgetown foot
ball season as imminent as it is, those
who have taken an interest in the sue
cessful record of the team this fall are
season and already conjectures are being
made as to how many of the veterans
will again be available. At present there
is a possibility of but three of the first
string men being lost. and of this trio
only one started the Virginia game. The
men in question are Fitzgerald, Carter
and Feenan. all of whom have been used
pretty regularly during the year.
Fitzgerald probably represents the
greatest loss of the three, as his work
at right guard this fall has been phe-
nomenal He has always shown great ag-
asressiveness. and in tribute to his mag
rificent performing Coach Nielsen. in a
talk last week. singled him out for much
laudation. He has still one more year
to play. as injuries kept him from TAX
ing part in any games year before last,
and his friends are now endeavoring to
prevail upon him to come back for a post
graduate course. in which case the Hilltop
line will remain Intact. .-.---..,,-
Feenan and Carter are both ste adv
players and have done more than a little
- excellent gridiron work. Both gradu-
ate in June, however. and from present
prospects IL seems unlikely that they will
return TO Georgetown fer professional
courses. IL they do return both will again
be eligible. as neither has played out his
four years. While their absence will be
greatly felt, ii will not materially set back
the team unless other linesmen and ends
also drOD out

Because of this uniform strength and
depending on few more men who will
certainly join the ranks of Georgetown
another fall. Manaser Walsh in begin
ming to make up his schedule promises
to give the local public in 1911 one of
the classiest lists of battles ever arraaS-
ed for One fall by any team in Dixie.
The prospects of a much stronger team
next year are exceedings bright. while a
clear field in Washington will insure
plenty OF attendance at the games, thus
warranting the bringing OF many fine
elevens here. Because OF these facts
II now looks as though next fall will see
Georgetown doing even better in her grid
iron campaigning than she has done
during the most successful season just

the line in its entirety will be as at pres
ent. and Judging from the performances Of
this department of the team this season
the line next fall will he the strongest

In the backfield Costello. Walsh and
Sitterding will all be available for the
plotting position. This was the one job
that worried Coach Nielsen earlier in
the season. but these three men -devel-
oped to such an extent that at present
IL is very formidably fortified. Kelly and

As Fury. Wymard. Walsh and Costello

Noisy hooters Menace to Game.

A few weeks ago at boxing show in
one of the middle west cities / occupied
a ringside seat and witnessed several
good bouts. What otherwise would have
been a pleasant evening was spoiled by
the loud-mouthed rooters and boosters
who were allowed to annoy spectators
with their shouts of encouragement or
abuse to the men in the ring Judging
from the inst. uctions" a number or
these peace disturbers yelled at their
favorites their knowledge of boxing was
nothing to brag about, but they were
permitted every freedom in the exercise
Of their vocal powers. 1t is enough for
the seconds and handlers of the boxers
to shout advice and instructions, but
when aided by several dozen of nosy
pests from all parts of the house 1t is
the limit and creates an Internal racket
that the average fan does not relish.
When a free-born American citizen
pays his money to see a boxing exhibit
ton he feels that he is entitled to holler
and yell to his hearts content and
should, Of course. be permitted the priv
ilege Of applauding the skill of his ia
vorites. But prejudice runs away with
better judgment in many instances and
not satisfied with yelling encouragement
to their friends in the ring a number OF
these nuisances see fit to abuse both
referee and the men who oppose their
favortes. This is both unsportsmanlike
and unfair to the more peaceable lovers
of the game there to see exhibitions or
skill with the gloves and who do not
fancy the idea of being forced to listen
to these blatant bawlers.

Only Credit Due Trainers.

spent the six or seven weeks preced-
ing the fight in Jeff's training quarters.
My mission was to assist the big fellow
to the best Of my ability. and particularly
to act as his chief sparring partner.
While in my opinion Jim did not by any
means do near enough boxing for such an
important engagement, and that he did
q bit too much OF some other kinds OF
work. there Is no denying the fact that
so far as his physical condition was con-
cerned it could have been no better.
Great credit is due Farmer Burns, Joe
ChoyEski. Roger Cornell and Bob ARM
strong for the able manner in which they
assisted JEFF to come back physically,
and to suspect one Of these men of hav-
ing a guilty knowledge Of any. wrong
doing is to my mind ridiculous.
I had expected to do a great deal Of
boxing with Jeffries, as I felt that he
needed plenty of this sort of work. Any
man who had been out Of the ring for
so long period as the ex-champion must
be rusty in his boxing and away Off in
Judgment of distance. I was much dis
appointed, therefore, when the big fellow
decided to cut this feature OF his work
Weeks before the fight he had worked
of his tsuperfuous flesh and was hard as
nails. and the lighter forms of exercise
should have been sufficient to keep him
in perfect shape. If my r, aders will recall
the articles in this column and in my
special daily contributions to the news
papers before the fight they will remem-
Der that I constantly deplored the fact
that JEFF would not box more than he did.

Should Stop Practice.

At a theatrical performance and most
other forms Of entertainment a man who
makes a nuisance of himself Is immedi-
ately elected from the premises. and this
should be the rule at boxing shows. In
cities where public boxing is permitted
it is a difficult matter to suppress the
pests, but in New York 1t ought to prove
less troublesome. In that city exhibi-
tons are conducted by regularly organ
ICED athletic clubs, and to squelch the
bawlers it is necessary only to cancel
their membership cards.
Every effort should be made to rid the
game of it's most Objectionable features
by those most interested in it's prosperity.
The better managed and cleaner the ex-
hibitions the more supporters OF boxing.
Promoters ought to profit by the expert
ences of those in other lines of sport
racing, for instance-and not count too
strongly on political preference or some
other sort of pull for protection me
best protection rests largely with the
manner in which the sport Is presented
to the public, and properly conducted
boxing exhibitions mean great deal FOR
the future of professional boxing.

By James ]. Corbett.

NORFOLK Va, November 19--After a
period of silence lasting over four months,

around the country to the effect that the
Reno fight had been a fixed affair up to
the last few days before the big doings.
and that johnson at the eleventh hour
ran out on his agreement and double
crossed the hope of the white race
Jef brands the stories as plain everyday
lies and challenges the sQuealers to pro-
duce their evidence. Abe Attel was the
first to come through with pretty little
tale that Johnson had agreed to lay
down. and then came John L. Sullivan
with practically the same yarn Jeffries
says that Sullivan must have some posi-
tive information on the subject to make
such a statement, and that this being
the case, he owes 1t to the public and
every one concerned to unbuckle and take
them into his confidence.
Jeffries also says If Sullivan within a
reasonable length of time fails to prove
his assertions that 1t will be up to him
(Jeffries) to defend himself as best he
at loss to understand unless he figures
on making John l.. eat his words.
jeff Fails to Get Clue.
Regarding the dope" stories, jeff says
he believes he was handed some dope
during the last two or three days before
the fight, and that he is willing TO pay
literally for Information leading to the
discovery of the guilty parties. Up to
date he has been unable to unearth
any clues and says the perpetrators
covered up their tracks in such a
thorough manner that 1t is next to inn
possible to prove anything.
1t is my belief that the fight was on the
level, and that no crooked work had been
contemplated at any time This is my
opinion. 1t must be admitted that as a
sample of the goods that worlds cham
pions are supposed to carry in stock 1t
was certainly a bum exhibition. 1t was
without doubt the worst fight l ever saw,
and it has been my lot to look at. many
/ a poor one. There surely was something
the matter with Jeffries, but l doubt that
he was doped. His food and drink were
prepared by his wife, and 1t Is too much
to believe that there could have been a
traitor in the camp. The men who were
with Jeffries constantly during the months
he spent in training both in California
and Nevada had everything to gain
through their charges success.
