THE MAINE DEAD
LAID TO REST

Washington, The American nation
last Friday wrote the final chapter Of
the tragedy Of the Maine and paid its
full measure of tribute to the men
who were sacrificed on the altar of
patriotism fourteen years ago. With
wealth of sentiment, the bones Of
64 unrecognized dead. resurrected
from Havana harbor, were consigned
by reyerent public TO the sacred
soil of Arlington national ceaetery,
to be mingled with the dust of the
country's hallowed dead.
President Taft and cabinet, both
houses of congress, and ali the other
officials of the government set aside
the day and did homage to the dead.
Although the rain began to fall early
in the afternoon, President Taft and
his entourage made their way TO the
cemetery and remained bareheaded in
the downpour until the last coffin had
been lowered. The solemnity of the
moment impressed itself upon every
one.
Before the services at the grave,
solemn service was held on the south
front of the state, war and navy build
ing. This was attended by the presi-
dent and vice president, Chief Justice
White and his associates on the bench
of the supreme court, members of
both houses of congress, all officers of
both branches of the military service
and members of the diplomatic corps.
The rain began shortly after the
president spoke. 1t started mildly.
but soon became downpour. AS a
result, when the presidential party
started toward Arlington they strug-
gled through a sea of mud. The rain
increased in intensity, and when the
president stepped under the himsy
canyas that had been erected as
shelter for him, he stood bareheaded
beneath a leak from every seam. One
by one the army guns caissons. bear
ing the bones of the dead, in 81 cas-
kets, rolled up to the plot In which
they were to lie. AS they came, the
president, his party and the crowd
passed up the further side of the GEM
etery road. From across the open
chasm of .upturned earth came the
djrges from the Marine band. A field
of flowers on the new turned sod told
of the reverence in which the dead
were held.
Thousands thronged the streets of
the national capital when the funeral
cortege made its way through the
streets. All business in the city was
suspended. The crowds were greater
than any known here, except when on
inauguration day, when the whole
country attends. In spite of rain and
the bleak winds, the crowds uncover
ed their heads when the collins APP
peared and so remained until the pro-
cession had passed.

ODDS ON WOLGAST TWO ID ONE OVER
 WILLIE R|TCH|E

San Francisco, November 26.--Light- weight Champion Pugilist Ad wolgast ruling to 1 favorite over Willie Ritchie in the betting on their 20 round bout to be fought here Thanksgiving day, did his last boxing today.
 Apparently supremely confident of the result of his fight he conferred with Promoter James Coffroth regarding fu- ture matches. Coffroth has promised Wolgast at New Years fight if the champions terms are reasonable. Vol gast has trained in 8 leisurely way and some critics have found fault with his condition. A sparring partner. Willie Hoppe, a home talent lightweight knocked Wolgast down Sunday. Ritchie has surprised his followers by training down to 133 pounds. While Wolgasts manager Tom Jones. has offered large sums at 10 to c, Ritchie and his mana ger have not been in evidence in the betting ring. Even money has been of- fered on Wolgast. to win inside of IS rounds.

It is interesting to note the respective records of Alabama and Tennessee, which teams clash for the final bout of the sea- son in Birmingham on Thanksgiving Day.
 Tennessee has played seven games this season. Of these they have won four and lost three. Alabama has played eight games, of which they have won four and lost three and tied one. Tennessee has scored 205 points this season against the 54 of her opponents. Alabama has scored a total of 149 points against the 54 by its opponents. The only team which has been met by both colleges is Sewanee. The Tigers defeated Tennessee by score of s to 6, while Alabama and Sewanee fought to a ito 6 draw. This is the only comparison that gives the Alabam- ians an edge in the dope.
 The Tennessee aggregation is said to be particularly strong on the offensive. When an opponent of inferior strength is en- corntered their record shows that Coach Halle's warriors invariably roll up a large score. Their defensive work has not been of the highest order this sea- son., but they are much stronger in this regard now than during the early fall. An example of the strength at present is evil denced in their recent game with Ken lucky State. Kentucky State defeated V M. l., the team which showed under the University of Virginia aggregation by 8 19 to score, 3 to ?. Tennessee held Ken lucky State to 13 to count two weeks ago.
 Tennessee is in excellent condition for the Thanksgiving game, writes Manager A. J. Donelson. Jr manager of Coach Halle's crew. Although most of their prac-

The locals are determined to get revenge next Thursday. The game in Tuscaloosa was the only one the locals have lost in over two years.

THE RAYMOND JONES INCIDENT UP AGAIN

The sporting editor of The Age Herald is in receipt of the following letter from G. ". Jones of Huntsville, father of Raymond Jones. the Alabama end who was injured in the Alabama Sewanee. game Mr. Jones takes issue with Coach Cope of Sewanee relative to a statement made by the Tiger coach relative to the cause of his sons injury.
 Sporting Editor, Age-Herald:
 Dear Sir--I am not counting con- troversy but the interview of Coach Cope in yesterday AgeHerald must not go by unchallenged.
 The record of the game shows that Sewanee was penalized four times in the first half of the game
 I am very much surprised that he should attempt to shield his team with out Knowing more of the situation. Raymond plays offensive end and de- fensive halfback. During the play in question Sewanee had the ball and Gill; lespie hurdled, knocking Vandegraah out and repeating the play on Jones, who was playing halfback. The reports of the game show that Sewanee was penalized on the play.
 The idea that the accident could have occurred in breaking up inter- ferenee' is impossible.
 Now, as To whether this is dirty playing. the sporting world will prob ably pass judgment, but there must be a reason when coach has to answer for so many sins.
 The public would. perhaps. be more charitable toward Sewanee if it was not of common knowledge that about 20 per cent of the average attendance Fx.. Inn. ball team.
 We agree with MT. Cope that this is somewhat singular. Respectfully, G. w. JONES.

the southern teams. They gave the Harvard aggregation, the champions of the eastern aggregations, one of the hardest battles of the season. They easily proved their superiority over the southern colleges until worn and wasted by the strain and physical in Jnries of an. unprecedented schedule they were tied by the Auburn machine in Birmingham.
 Spread plays, wing shifts and wierd forward pass formations came into use, but all the excitement of tho old game remained.
 Injuries This Season
 During the season 10 have been killed in the game. This is the small est number who have met death upon the gridiron since 1901. A considerable number of minor injuries resulted, but it would be hard to so change the game that injuries of this nature would not result. But here tho injuries are much smaller than in 1909 or 1910. In 1910, 22 were killed and 416 were injured from the game.
 Another respect in which the season has been memorable is in the fact that at one time during the season the championship both in the east and south hung upon a single game. In the east this contest decided without dis putation the highest football honors. In the south Auburn's tie with Wander bilt resulted in entangling the cham pionship. Usually championships have to be decided to a considerable extent by comparative scores. But until last Saturday both the east and south pos sessed two teams that had not suffered a defeat during the seasan, and these two teams in both sections srappled for the honors of their sections upon the same day.
 Speculations as to just what changes, if any, will be made in the present rules governing the game are hard to make. It is argued by many, however, that the four-down rule Is the only regulation at present that tends to en- courage mass play and the football au- thorities may see fit to change this somewhat during their winter meet ing.

TENNESSEE IN GOOD CONDITION TO MEET THE ALABAMA TEAM
The Present Season Has Been In
 Marry Respects c Memorable One
By CHARLES W. GREER

When time is called putting to a stop the various gridiron battles over the south tomorrow, the 1912 football season will have passed into history
 In many respects the season has been Q memorable one. The teams over the country started the season under a changed set of regulations that brought forth much comment from the critics of the great college game Many argued that these changes would prove the ruination of football while other authorities contended that they held unlimited opportunities for the development of scientific playing.
 Perhaps the two most discussed changes were the allowing of forward passes 10 yards beyond the goal line and the allowing of four downs in which to gain the required 10 yards.
 The professed objects of the changes were to encourage open play, to avoid injuries and to enhance teams abil- ity to score.
 The Early Season
 During the early season the prelim- mary contests were, to considerable extent, experiments. The game under the new rules was more or less an unknown quantity. It was early in the season that the coaches most versed in the ethics of the gridiron realized the value of these changes. They recog- nized their worth, but it was not un- til near the middle of the season that the vast possibilities of open play un- der these regulations were fully ap- preciated. Many coaches were loath to forget the fact that they were given four downs to make 10 yards, instead Of only three as heretofore. They con fined their early play to line smashes. Gradually the versatility of attack and open play became realized. In the south the Vanderbilt Commodores were the chief opponents of this style of play. Resorting to the limitless formations that the present rules afford, Dan Me-

The Other Battles

The two other battles of interest in the south Thanksgiving are the Geor- gia Tech-Clemson contest, and the Tu- lane Louisiana State university battles. Tech will probably win from the Purple and White, but Clemson will prove no easy sailing for the light Yellow Jack cts. The Tulane Louisiana State uni versity contest should be a great one, with odds in favor of the Louisiana state boys. Comparative scores would have 1t the other way, as Agricultural and Mechanical, who defeated Louisiana State university was in turn defeated by Tulane, but it Is hard to see how the New Orleans warriors are going to annex a victory from the aggregation that fought Auburn to to score in Mobile some time ago. and out played Donahue's men during most of the contest.
