 IS AFRAID.

Sporting Editor of The Farmer:
 Jack Briton won two battles in twenty-four hours, knocking out Billy Bennett, the lightweight champion of Ireland, and giving Frank Loughery of Philadelphia a bad beating in six rounds.
 With Brftton it is a case of win, win all the time. It don't make any difference if it is Iightweights Or welt terweig;hts, he shows his wonderful speed all the time. He is either knocking out or ortpointing the tough est boys in the world, and he bars none. The knocking out of Young Saylor twice, and Eddie Murphy, two boys whom Packey Mcfarland is real ly afraid of, convinced the public that Jack BTitton is a real fighter and is not afraid to box amy boy in the world.
 With Packey Mcfarland it is diff ferent proposition Packey still thinks that the sporting writers and general public are easy, for he is trying to arrange a match with Freddie Welsh, whom he has boxed three draws. and it will not do the boxing game any good to have two men like Mcfarland d and Welsh to box over and over again without any result, when a boy like Jack Britton, who is a. real fighter, and boxer combined, is waiting to

HARVARD AND YALE TO
 MEET IN HICKEY MATCH

Boston, Dec 12.-Despite runors that Yale would not play Harvard at hockey in Boston this year, two games have been practically arranged to take place between the two rival col lege sevens in the Boston arena. The teams will play series of three games this season, two in Boston and one at the St. Nicholas rink in New York city. The Boston dates are Feb ruary 1 and Washingtons Birthday night, February g. The New York game will be played on some date between the two Boston games.
 It has been prematurely publish ed that the two big college rivals would not meet this year because of the un- willingness of Yale to meet Harvard in the Boston arena, it being stated that the New Haven team considered the Boston rink Harvard territory. The managers of the teams have come together, however, and the arrange ment of games has been agreed on.
 Last season Harvard won the se- ries from the Blue, scoring two vic tories against one for Yale. Harvard easily won the first game in the Bos- ton arena, but, much to the surprise of all hockey fans, lost the second game in New Haven The deciding game was won by the Crimson in the Boston arena, by the score of to 2.

 Jack Britton can always be depend ed upon to give the public a run for their money every time he starts. If Packey Mcfarland, the champion lem on picker, will follow suit and meet a good man, the boxing game would not be looked upon with suspicion, as it is at the present time when men like Packey Mcfarland go around the country looking for lambs, ipstead of boxing a boy like Jack Britton, who will make Mcfarland give the public their moneys worth if he can get Packey into a, ring with him.
