WANTEDBYA AUBURN
Leading Team of Far South Is Anxious Play Blue and
Gray on Thanksgiving Day Chances for Princeton
Contest Are About Gone.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

Alabama Tech, a thoroughly repre-
sentative football team of the extreme
South, wants to play Georgetown next
fall.
Thomas Bragg, graduate manager at
Alabama, was in Washington yesterday
in the hope of meeting some official on
the Georgetown football committee, but
as they were all away for the holidays
the matter will be allowed to go over
until next wek when negotiations will
be opened.
Alabama Tech, which is known through
out the South as Auburn, the place
where the institution is located. has for
years been a leader on the gridiron OF
the South, and two years ago had as
grand a football machine as the writer
ever saw south of the Mason and Dixon
line. That year It simply swept the
South winning, among other games. its
all important contest with Sewanee.
Coached By Yale Man.
For wears the team has been coached
by Mike Donohue, a Yale graduate, VINO

Kendall Green Is Out
For Basketball Title

That the basketball team at Gallaudet
is out after the intercollegiate title in
the winter sport in the District, is an
opeI secret. and the fact that the team
was held over during the holidays to
practice gives indication that the Ken
dali Green team is going out hot-foot
after the other teams. Several changes
are expected in the lineup during the
week.
This month is probably the hardest of
any on Gallaudets intercollegiate bas-
ketball schedule, as after the Catholic
University game, Gallaudet will have

AMAZING GROWTH
IN BOWLING GAME
Few Years Ago There Were
Few Alleys West of
Alleghanies.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 1.-The coming con-
vention and tournament Of the American
Bowling Congress will be the means of
showing the public what a remarkable
growth this popular indoor sport has
had in the last five years.
1t was only few years ago that there
were only few bowling alleys west of
the Alleghanies, but today there is
hardly a village or hamlet in the whole
United States that does not boast of its
alleys. and all of these are occupied, day
and night, by the followers of the game,
which proves conclusively that it is one
Of the most POPULAR games of the pres
ent day, and from the present indica-
tions it has brilliant future.
The American Bowling Congress has
done much toward popularizing the
sport, and since its organization, a ma
jority of the leagues of the country have
entered it's ranks.
IN looking over the bowling history of
the year, both In legislative and bowling
departments, we find that a great and
good work has been done and many wise
and progressive rules have been adopt
ed. Nearly all competitive records have
been broken. More leagues are in ex-
istence today than ever before, there are
more bowling alleys than ever before,
there are more bowlers, and the news
papers are devOting more space t. it
than they ever did in the past. All this
taken into consideration makes the heart
of the roller glad, and it is surely a pro-
gresSive game.
In this city every inducement is being
put forth to have the weaker teams, as
we'll as the strong teams, enter the tour
he H.,

Mike Dee Is Retained
To Train the PhillieS

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1.-The Phil
lies signed Trainer Mike Dee to a
three-year contract yesterday. Dee s
work last year was 50 satisfactory that
his fame as a trainer spread to other
clubs, several Of whom have been dick
ering with him. and President Fogel
deemed ii advisable 10 secure him to a
three-year contract, so as to insure his
services for that period to the Phillies.
The members of the Philadelphia team
all agree that Dee is the best trainer
they have ever had His work last year
was a revelation to them, and they will
all be glad to know that he has been
engaged.
Dee was a first-class trainer Of ath-
letes before the University of Pennsyl-
yania secured him, seven or eight
years ago, since which time he has
been Mike Murphy's rtght-hand man
and from whom he learned a whole lot,
until now he ranks as one of the best
tlainers in the country.

to Lewis as to any other boxer
In condition he has proved himself to
Is probably only a question of time when
he may be asked to fight for his
title again, although less attention has
been paid to the welterweight class than
to some others.
The lightweight championship is al
ways something which is more or less
in dispute. and for real energetic boxing
and keen rivalry usually brings to the
front some of the best matches which
are boxed in this country.
WOlgast holds the title now, but there
are youngsters who are ready to meet
him whenever he says the word, and If
one of them defeats him it is veTy prob
ahle that the victor will not have to
wait long for a match. Fred Weleh
may come over from England looking
for honors in this direction. That seems
to be his present intention.
No one will quarrel with the right Of
Abe" Attell to hold his title. He is one
of the clevereSt boxers of his weight
that the world ever saw, and today he
seems to be as good as ever. In his
most recent match in New York. against
Pal Moore, even his friends were sur
prised by the skill and resource which
he displayed throughout the contest.

Johnny" Coulon still holds the BAN
tam-weight championship, and holds it
simply by his masterful ability in the
ring. How much longer he will retain
it is a question. Bantamweights have
been developed who have tried to beat
him, but they have been unsuccessful.
Yet it is a class which recruits with
rapidity from the nOvices who seek
honor in the ring, and 1t may not be
long before fighter of that weight shall
be developed who shall be too much for
this indomitable ycungster who has been
so successful.
The defeat of Jeffrics began a new era
in the ring. The defeat of Nelson aston
ished more than one. The murder of
Ketchel shocked boxing enthusiasts and
even those who are but lukewarm in
their fondness for the sport, being at
tracted more by the important events
than by the general run of pugilistic
contests. Poor Cans has passed away.

AGREED
ON TWO BOXERS
Jack Johnson and Abe Atte Only Two Champions to
Whom Title Is Given Without Dispute-Coulon
at Head of Bantam List

NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-For once in the
history of pugilism authorities in the
United States seem quite generally to
agree that two coveted positions in the
classification of championships are 20
be allotted to two men of the negro
race.
Opinions have been gathered from 4
number of the more noted critics
throughout the land as to the champions
of the various classes who are entitled
TO hold that honor.
Without exception they agree. The
champions are named as follows: Heavy
weight, Jack" Johnson, undisputed
middleweight, Sam Langford, practi-
caIly undisputed. the Only qualification
being made as to Langford's ability 10
fight successfully at 1853 pounds; welter-
weight. Harry Lewis; lightweight, "Ad"
Wolgast; featherweight, Abe Attell !;
bantamweight, johnny" Coulon.
II Langford is unable to defend the
middleweight title at 15S pounds there
are some who believe that it would go
to Billy Papke. This opinion was
Smith, the Australian, in Sydney this
week. Papke lost the fight On a foul
Ia the tenth round.
Langford's Claim.
Langford is authority for the state
ment that he can fight at 15S pounds
and beat any man who can be matched
against him. Judging by the ability
which he has shown in the ring, it
would seem fair to presume that he can
do so.
In the United States his most for
midable opponent at the present time
seems to be Papke, and expert opinion
inclines to the belief that Langford
could beat Papke at the stipulated
weight of 15S pounds.
There is no doubt in the case of John
son. He stands supreme at the head
OF his class. How long it will be before
there is another contest for the heavy
weight championship is a question
which is to be solved only by the pass
ing OF time. 1t is certain that Johnson
firmly believes that there is no profess
sional boxer at present who can beat
him.
Interest Is Assured.
One thing is certain. No matter how
much ring fighting may be deplored in
some quarters, there is unquestionably
tremendous amount of latent interest,
even in circles where It would be least
expected, as to the possibility before
many years, or even months, have
elapsed. of finding some boxer of the
white race who shall be able to con-
quer this huge athlete of skill and a
certain amount of natural Shrewd in
.telligence who now holds the title.
Until this curiosity is appeased it is
safe to say that those who in the or
dinary nature of things would give but
little attention to boxing affairs will
continue to entertain a lurking hope
that the day may come when Johnson
shall be fairly beaten in a contest for
the title which he now holds.
With the Welterweights.
The weterweight struggle, which has
not been quite as keenly in evidence in
