CAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26.-The
y critics throughout the coun-
try appear to be of one mind
In regard to Ad Wolgast. They
think the future is filed with fore
boding for the worlds lightweight
champion.
Nor is the opinion based merely
on what happened with Joe Mandot
at New Orleans. The so-called
Michigan Wildcat seems to have
been going to worse ever since
he, went under the. knife a year
/ ago.
His four-round go with Willie
Richie in San Francisco a few
months after leaving the hospital
conveyed hint that Wolgast's nat
ural fighting qualities had been
impaired; his bout with Rivers
strengthened the suspicion; his
short contests with Teddy Ma
loney and Daniels failed to sub
stantiate the Wolgast claim that
sojourn on the Cadillac farm had
restored his vigor, while the late
unpleasantnes in the Southland
may be described as the closest
call of all for the king of the 133-
Founders.
1t is claimed by Wolgast that
things were not nearly as bad as
they We're reported at New Orleans
The spectators, he urged saw the
affair through New Orleans specta-
cles, and the ringside correspond
ents were so saturated with the
local pride that every little trick
Mandot turned was exaggerated in
the describing.
Crowds With Under Dog.
If New Orleans erred in the
manner described. it was both hui
man and understandable. The in
clination in fight crowds all over
the world is to gloat when the I'M
der dog steals march on the
champion and the incentive to eX-
ultation is ever 50 much increased
when the under dog is a home
product.
But New Orleans enthusiasm
could not very we'll influence the
blow for blow accounts of the fight.
These detailed reports are general
ly dictated or jotted down in a
cold blooded, mechanical way by
men who thoroughly understand
their business, and there is little
chance of wrong impression being
gained by any one who reads these
returns carefully.
The fight by rounds" reports
that came away from the New Or
leans ringside told as plainly as
moving picture presentment that
Mandot in the beginning was eau
tious and that Woloast was at all
times anxious to bring matters to
a focus quickly.

Expert Naughton Thinks Wolgast Is Going Back
Appendicitis and 0ver-Confidence the Cause

to fiatter this vanity-for vanity It
is, He was among lightweights
what Tod Sloan was among jocks.
He was a fullgrown man cast in 8
small mold, and. while training,
never had to coddle himself in any
way or provide against the effects
of reducing weight.
He could go right along about his
work knowing that he would be at
the right poundage when the grind
of preparation came to an end. He
was formed on symmetrical. lines
and possessed all the strength that
it was possible for a man of his
weight to possess.
Was an Ideal Liahtweieht.
He was, in fact, the ideal 133-
FOUNDER, and when it is considered
that there are few fighters in any
class who do not have to weaken
themselves to som extent to remove
the excess that accumulated between
contests, it can readily be under
stood how WOlgsst's natural adj
vantages, combined with his indom-
liable fighting spirit, made him feel
and perform like a man who was
every inch and every pound
champion.
The idea is beginning to prevail
that Wolgast's final physical pow
ers have suffered and that his ex-
allied opinion of himself remains
intact. If it is that way, of course
he is bound to strike trouble before
long. But it will not-do to begin
singing his requiem until he is
down and out.
Courage and self-reliance, such
as he possesses, tide a man over
many a tight place in life, and it
may be that If he shortens down on
his "one-night stands" in the pu-
gilistic line and sets a champion
ship date and keeps it in view, he
may cause those who are predicting
his downfall to change their tune.

through the scattered field in the
early part of the competition.
Jim Thorpe is an ideal football
player. He appears at halfback
because he is of greatest use at
this position. Put him anywhere on
the eleven. however. and he would
still be a star. He has the strength,
size and weight for any line posi-
ton; the speed for an end
He combines every quality of
football skill. He is sure at han
ding punts and is in a class all by
himself at running them back He
combines the crushing power and
hammering force of Brickley with
the kicking skill of this same indi-
vidual and the punting ability Of
FELTON, or Flynn.
Thorpe is the most deliberate
player in the country. He never
becomes excited never losesa.his
head. He can run Just as fast
with the ball as without it; he is a
sure tackle and is possessed of
such strength that he can keep on
like Ted Coy with an army of
tacklers clinging to him.
His motive power is augmented
by the fact that he charges lower
than any back in football. He is a
man of Whalebone. whose anatomy
is impervious to injury; a human
torpedo that plows its way through
all sorts of opposition.
Great in Broken Field.
AS runner in broken field,
Thorpe is in class all by him.
self He plans his run with amaz-
ing intelligence and, fools the
tacklers by an easy lope that car
ries him over the ground at re-
markable speed without betraying
any undue haste. His lodging can
be likened to nothing better than
that of a rabbit close pressed by a
hound. Thorpe can stop instantly,
twist about and start instanta-
neously. And, with him. the
straight arm is a work of beauty.
Save that his color is less pro-
nounced than the average Indian
Jim Thorpe is a typical Indian.
He has the facial cast, high cheek
bones and straight, jet-black hair
His legs are long, but we'll put up,
as is his torso. In street clothes
he appears of the greyhound type,
but when stripped his unusual phys
ical development is strikingly evil
dent He is as near a perfect type
as can be found anywhere.

= IN THORPE, of Carlisle, will go
down in athletic history as the
modest redskin of them all"
II is doubtful if any human being
ever combined the manifold ath-
Ietic proclivities of this young
buck of the Fox and Sac tribe.
BY winning the decathlon and
uentathlon in Stockholm last sum
mer. this aborigine proved Ameri-
cas- greatest individual star. and at
the same time the most wonderful
man who ever took part in the
great International athletic cham
pionships since Greece first estab-
Jshed this classic in the shadow Of
olympus.
There is nothing relating to sport
mr. athletic strife that Thorpe can
not do. and do exceptionally well.
In fact, he is a champion at any
hing to which he turns his atten-
ion. There have been many YER
satile athletes, but none before
Thorpe has been so versatile to
championship degree in all.
Thorpe is all round champion of
the world in track and field sports.
He is the best baseball player at
Carlisle. He is the greatest half
back of all American football his
tory, and perhaps the greatest
gridiron warrior Of all time. Like
all good Indians, Thorpe is a Won
der at lacrosse. He plays basket
ball, soccer, hockey and hand ball
equally well.
Just now the world is ringing
with his gridiron deeds, and at this
particular branch of sport he is
worthy of fun discussion. Those

Thorpe in Carlisles game against

doubtless, the greatest exhibition of
individual football skill portrayed

his football gear.

score rendered Wolgast wild, the
Southerner took advantage of the
champions mistakes and rolled up
credits that could not be wiped
out.
The lesson gathered from the
punch-f for punch descriptions is
that had Mandot started out with
the same degree of confidence he
finished up with, there might have
been a new worlds champion. As
1t is, Wolgast can pause amid his
protestations and thank his stars it
is no worse.
On all sides one hears.the query
propounded: What is really the
matter with Wolgast?"
Operation Stirred Him Up.
To the writer it appears to be a
combination of appendicitis and
overconfidence l know that old
trainers of field athletes claim that

and it is beginning to look as
though Wolgast has been trans

What, makes it worse in Ads
case is that fighting is as the
breath of his nostrils. He possesses
the typical pugilistic temperament
